THE BEAUTY OF POLAND (PIEKNIE MIEJSCE)

This is were I started to really exist. It was like I never really occupied myself till i got to Poland. My name is Chukwunwike Kenechukwu Divine-Daniel(popularly known as Dani Millz). I am the first child of my family and the only son, I am from Nigeria (Giant of Africa), located at the western part of Africa. After being born and raised in Nigeria for 20years before I came to Poland to continue a half time of a 4 year bachelor degree in Computer Science at the UNIVERSITY OF COMPUTER SCIENCE AND SKILL, LODZ, POLAND.

I am a musician that got inspired by his city Łođz. Poland is a country for everybody but you must have a loving heart and sincere mind to see THE BEAUTY OF POLAND. From the art work on the street wall, to the beauty of their heart, to even the air I breathe. I was truly alive, but first, it all started when I got to łođz, poland, I took a walk on my first night through piotrkowska street. At Ambasada sywca (piotrkowska 66). I came across this karaoke venue when I heard a discordant sound from far away. So I stepped in there and i decided to also partake in the karaoke, I sang " Sam Smith - I'm not the only one". When I was done singing while I was still with an empty stomach, I was clapped for and giving gift, a polish man gave me 100zloty and I was also giving some necklace in my neck and a lot of Love . Since then, I became a regular customer at this karaoke bar that put a positive vibe into my life.

It was amazingly extremely cold at times and at other times, its was so hot

Gyming

Angelica basen was a great experience and awesome time for me , after school hours, I get home to take a shower, eat and rest (2-3hours nap), then off to the gym ( the gym opens from 6am to 9pm most times) and since its about a minute from my room (dormitory), I was able to tell when the gym was filled with interesting of boring people because I have a great view of the entrance of the gym from my room ( I could see those going in and out of the gym).

We also had a sport competition here once in summer 2016, it was an organized program by my school(wsinf).

We had great games and made new friends amongs those we live together with at the dormitory. The language was a General problem for the Nigerian students who found ourselves in the midst of mixed Ukrainians, Russians and polish, but i determined to relate with them and then I soon realised that with in your heart, communication will be made so much easier, (from curse words like "kurwa!!!" meaning "f**k", you will learn also "dzien dobry" meaning "Good day", which are important words needed to start a good conversation with a person living in Poland, the "kurwa" is to make them feel more relaxed around you). The Nigerian set of individuals there had two (2) set, (the older set at 3rd school year and my set at the 2nd school year ).

The older set took the first (1st) position at the football competition, the Ukrainian team came second (2nd) position and my set which was the youngest set in 2016 and new to Poland took third (3rd) position. We a gracious award night and took time to really relate with each other. I learnt a Russian song that night and sang along with my new friends . This Angelica basen is located at Rzgowska 17a, łođz Poland. I was always laughed at for my funny workouts at the gym. This place also has an awesome swimming centre above, with 5zloty - 7zloty as student, you could swim for an hour while for non-students cost 10złoty - 12złoty. It also has an indoor football court, indoor basketball court, indoor volley court, indoor dance hall.

Economic Class shopping centre

When I remember the days that I had no clothes or rather very little money, and I had to cover myself from cold and at least look decent to class. I had only one place for my type before all the money for designer everything came. I went to only one place with my friend. It's called the Economic class. It's located at pitrokowska 190, close to piotrkowska centrum, łođz . They sell quality used clothes. It's sold by weighing all the clothes you picked and then the weight decides the price, Amazing right???.

Opening hours for sales were

Monday 9am - Tom.

Tuesday 9am - 5pm.

Wednesday 9am -5pm.

Thursday 9am - 5pm.

Friday 9am - 5pm.

Saturday 10am - 5pm.

Sunday  11am- 4pm.

But you can also search on Google for more info, or visit the address that I gave you above. Good used clothes for cheap cost.

Summer Life

My summer in Poland was blissful, both in 2016 and 2017. Ok so where do I start???. Hmmm ok.

2016 summer

My summer in 2016 starter shortly after I arrived, because I landed in Poland on the with of April 2016. It was still cold and snowing sometimes, but because I had my mind somewhere else, I didn't fall sick like some new comer or Jolly just come (jjc) like we would call you in Nigeria. I spent the beginning of my time to write and finish up a semester exam, then I started going to sing more often in several places. Then it was only "Klub Newyork" at piotrkowska 60 and "Klub Ambasada zywca" at piotrkowska 66 ( This info is updated till February 2018). I was singing for a band then because I needed money and they were impressed with my work, so I played the African traditional drum and I got paid 100zloty, to me that a bless bro becausein my country Nigeria, there are first class graduates with master's degree and don't earn up to that in a month , so I was grateful and I played the drum with joy and had fun with my crew of life. I miss them so much.

picture of my Music jazz band in 2016 is below

let me introduce you to great and lovely 5 people that I met in 2016 and I am still in contact with all of them till date.

Starting from right to left (⬅)

1. Pavel Samokhin

2. Sylwia Wysocka

3. Sonia stochmiałek

4. Adam Bzyq Brzęczek

5. Paweł Wochna

6. Myself

Then I stepped up and went further into singing polish songs which I have written before and then started asking Joanna for corrections and attending interviews at radio stations and all. It's so hectic. The interesting thing was I tried working in sonocco but let's just say it never happened. But as a new foreigner in Poland studying and would like to work for some small change, sonocco is best especially if you are humble and ready to go through a humble beginning. They help to give foreigners factory jobs. I would advise you to move around and always make use of Facebook.

Egurrola Dance Crew

Egurrola Dance crew is a class that I enjoyed so much, we had free day dance class and I felt freed physically for the first time since I got to poland. Egurrola Dance crew is a hip hop dance crew located at the Manufaktura Łođz, Poland. Its a very organized establishment. Very neat, no one touching your things, and its a dance crew for children, teenagers, youth and even older generation. They coordinated an interesting dance routine, which we all danced and did a video for. I met new friends and out of this dance crew, I created mine called Pl Ng dance crew, we will talk about that soon, keep reading and you would see it. On this faithful day, we danced to D Living Wierdo Devvonterrell song (@devvonterrell) who is a Tunecore Ambassador.

To be part of this amazing dance crew, if you live in łođz just go to Manufaktura Łođz, and go to the cinema spot and take the elevator up to the second to the final floor. Or you can connect with them on instagram by sending a direct message to @egurroladancestudio_łođz. But if you find yourself in any other city and you still want to be a part of this great dance crew, you can search on Google "Egurrola Dance crew poland" and you will get all necessary details.

Summer 2017

2017 was filled up, omg God I have experiences to share with you. So let's go months by month

First it started with "You Can Sing It" audition. Then we shot a music video for dream girl #dreamgirl. This day was so cool on a Saturday morning /afternoon. I was shooting a music video for a song that I took the second verse. Even though the song is owned by this thief LarrySax who unfortunately is Nigerian but loves scamming Nigerians. We were all occupied with the very hard-working Director and we had to do some acting and we took some lovely pictures with each other. I had one lovely one with the larrysax girlfriend and with sina (also featured in the song.

We had several practice at the redeem Christian church of God in Łođz. We also performed sometimes together at the klub Newyork and Klub czekolada . He lied a lot but we connected because of music. I hope you change my nigga cause you are growing old man.

After that,

Kizomba Dance festival

we had a crazy performers at the Kizomba festival at Warsaw. I was invited with hammer lo. I was polish girls shake ass like a black woman would. It was angelic. I watched them stage preparations and final performance. I took back a whole experience and feeling about poland. And I found out the clear differences between Warsaw and other cities in Poland. Making it in Poland would be much easier because of the population but there is no rest, and inner peace like in łođz. I always felt like I was growing with the city. Warsaw felt made and filled with headache. It's hard to create something special in such environment, but it also depend on what you truly chase after. I love money like crazy but there are other things that I more important like your values and purpose in life.

We lounged at the Novotel hotel at the Centrum (centre), I love the experience this hotel gave me, I slept on that bed and I felt like I was laying on the air or hmm maybe it was there lovely whiskey which they served neatly. Thanks for your A1 service.

After Kizomba festival

I went over to a disappointing experience, I Missed a music audition. We took a train on Monday morning for music talent hunt at Warsaw and we got to the hotel and they told me that the audition held yesterday. What hurts most is when you start thinking of how you spent your yesterday, you will feel even weak. I went through the loss with a smile. I refused to be defeated, we keep pushing our craft constantly.

I moved on from there and went to the next phase of the summer

Yes!!!!!

I love this part. My first ever show in in th city of łođz as a life band. Great guyz. That day went so well and very blessed. It uplifted my whole mind. It happened at Klub Newyork (@piotrkowska 60). We had a life performance of songs we wrote. There are amazing videos of that day that I have and I haven't posted them out yet. I fell even deeper in love with my art and tried to tush up my game.

We had fans from Scotland and netherland right in łođz for this show. It was a very lively arena, I felt good. Took pictures and got home to eat good and sleep.

A day that I will always thank God for. A honourable day, Thanks for showing up and showing love.

Next on 2018 summer

Afro Music Night performance

On the 28 of September, I was on my way to wroclaw and poznan for an Afro party with larry sax and Mc Osoka (Instagram = Osokaofficial) with larry sax. First I would love to say I LOVE POLAND. WHY??. THERE IS PROGRESS EVERYWHERE YOU GO. NOW, We got to wroclaw and first went to our hotel rooms, then I put on kush to smoke and relax a bit, then I went around the hotel and there isn't too much to say about that hotel apart from the fact that it had an old, small sized elevator. It was disheartening but what could we do. Don't worry, I won't mention the name of the hotel, Follow me on instagram and scroll down, if you do a good research there, then you will find out on your own.

Next up, we did little rehearsals at the hotel room, then joined other dj's in one room where we drank, talked and basically fooled around till we were called at the club that club for the show to begin, I had a lot of fun and met great looking people, crazy dancers. I could guarantee that someone was getting pregnant that night, we went back to the hostel that night, I had to take a walk on the city that morning because I wanted to see the beauty, also to eat something because I was really hungry.

Then, we went over to Poznan with a train, I met polite people at the train, or I guess the way you treat other, will be the way you will be treated". So maybe their response was positive to me because its Karma. We got to poznan in the evening and its beautiful at night, I spent time at the club drinking at early hours, then we met some beautiful girls at the centru (central of the city), we then moved around and saw other klubs even klub czekolada exists there too. I was glad to meet some black girls, who I became acquainted to Diana and clarisse, were the people who told me how to get back to łođz the next day, because my partner had a very bad attitude of spending his money on girls in cities for another night, so he didn't come back home with me and when he did, he never came back with any money. #sadlife.

You Can Sing It (YCSI) .

Let me introduce you to my winning lifestyle in łođz, Poland. You Can Sing It (YCSI) is a music competition for foreigners in the country to dare themselves to sing, dance and basically be entertaining in polish. To me, this was an opportunity to showcase how well I have decided to relate with music in Poland. Music is my life, and I believe that music brings us all together and since I love meeting new people, it also makes me more confident that I doing what I ought to do in my life. This competition challenges your inner mind to understand music in a different way. Not only the difference in Language but also difference in charisma and attitude of a polish man singing words and expressing them his or her own way but also knowing how to stay connected with the polish indigenes.

I felt so connected with poland because it similarities to my country is so much. The only difference is that you can see their government making few effort to grow and develop the country, even though they don't have half of the resource we do have in my country Nigeria. They are not just constantly stealing money from citizens to campaign for next election like Nigeria. I love my country but i realised that exposes the bad side makes positive change come faster because "only a mad man who accept that he is mad, has taken his first step towards sanity". NEVER FORGET.

You Can Sing It (YCSI) is a program/competition like a said before, that challenges foreigners to sing in polish despite the language barrier, sometimes I would like to call it "CAN YOU BREAK THAT LANGUAGE BARRIER??". It is organized every year especially during the summer time, by DOM WSCHODNIA. you should check the link below for more information on DOM WSCHODNIA. They are engaged in many other things that concerns uplifting there society and help foreigner fight situation like racism.

Dani Mill Daniel Chukwunwike ( My humble self) won the second (2nd) position in the second edition in june/July 2017. This is the most amazing time that I ever had in Poland, from start to finish of this competition kept me smiling and on my toes. I noticed that it also kept others around me smiling. When I sang in the tram especially in polish, the older generation are always filled with joy, either clapping for me when I am about to come off the tram or smile to deep at me, that I know I have put a joy in that old man/woman heart that no one can extract. I know with that feeling, anytime he feels down and goes memory lane and he manages to remember me, all he will be filled with is a very deep and loud joy.

So first we had auditions which the videos are all on YouTube, Facebook and pages concerning You Can Sing It. After passing this part of auditioning. We reached the next stage of picking a new song for the finals and every one seem to know what they wanted to sing but since I was he in Poland and I didn't know so many polish songs, I entered a deep dilemma stage, while people were practicing for the final day, I was still indecisive on what to sing and then I thought to myself, "in this sings that I have as options, which one will be best describing me???, which of this song, would I sing like its my song???. When I was able to answer all this questions to myself and listen to advices from important people who made me who i am. Joanna zielinska, przemesław , and so many more. I had love all around me, it was uplifting, I was filling full of life because I felt home.

So I made the decision of performing "JUZ NIE ZAPOMNISZ MNIE" Which means "YOU WILL NEVER FORGET ME". It's a description of how I plan to shower her with lovely experience this only night we have together, so that when I am gone, she won't forget me. I just got to the stage after several lovely words and dedicated practiceof the song. I practiced it so much that it became all I sang for that period and I performed it beautiful, i think. All I know is I gave it my best with dance performance, lovely smiles and sang to my best. They appreciated it with asecond position spot given to me after voting, a beautiful flower and a sum of 2000zl . I will always want this people around me for the rest of my life, they are practically family to me now

Now, I want to introduce you to one of my very big family, I also hope they take me like family too. But I always want them to know that I love them. First, I will introduce you to a strong, wise, very patien, loving and dedicated man, I call him a "Nigerian Man" because he like "pepper" like a Yoruba man in Nigeria. His me is Grzegorz Zielińska, he is the husband to Joanna Zielińska, the woman who taught and groomed me in polish language for months during and after the competition. Even now, when I need help with translation of my papers from English to polish or writing my new polish song and I need help to correct some lines, she always help me stand up, when I feel lacking. I really appreciate the fact that she took time to guide me persistently on how to pronounce the words, how to sing them, what word to put more effort on, and what words to be pronounced. She gave me knowledge and training that made me stand out amongst my friends and peers.

Unfortunately she missed my final performance in July 2017 because of a family holiday. I wasn't happy because I wanted her to take the glory, but she taught me something big that day. "No matter how important things you are doing outside family, no matter who is involved, FAMILY MUST COME FIRST". This was also what I saw and learnt from that experience last year, that I can't neglect my family at home in Nigeria, no matter how big the progress I am making in Poland is, MY FAMILY WILL ALWAYS NEED ME.

So I want to use this opportunity to pass this lesson which I learnt, Coming back to my country at febuary 2018, was a hard decision to make but i had to do it for Family. If you dont learn anything in life, know that Family Is Everything. And I would like to say THANK YOU SO MUCH GRZEGORZ AND JOANNA ZIELIŃSKA FOR STANDING BY ME, WITH KNOWLEDGE, LOVE, AND FOR ALWAYS TREATING ME LIKE YOU WOULD TREAT YOURSELF, BY NOT USING MY AGE OR THE COUNTRY I COME FROM OR THE COLOUR OF MY SKIN TO JUDGE ME, I SAY THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN

Pl Ng Dance Crew

I want to introduce you to this established dance crew, which was established by my humble self and my mate, Emeka Nwagboso (instagram= emekaar). We took dancers from egurrola dance crew in łođz to create this crew, we made use of the dance hall at Angelica basen located at Rzgowska 17a, łođz . The process wasn't easy at first, but let just say that our enthusiasm and zeal towards dance overcame all obstacles. We practiced for several day and shot our first dance video at piotrkoska Centrum during the winter. Winter in Poland can be crazy, if you don't cover up, expect that soon enough you would start coughing blood or find yourself in the hospital. So please Cover up during winter, if you find yourself in Poland, Ukraine, or Russian during the winter season.

"A word is enough for the wise". Personally, I love winter because as a black man, trust me that under the winter season, in 2month all your skin will glow and be so smooth, without the use of body cream. On our first dance video, we danced to a Nigerian song by Wizkid titled Daddy Yo - wizkid. This video can be found on YouTube, just click the link below and enjoy.

Zip Line game

This was one crazy moment of my life. I did the zip line game from one building to the other building at Manufaktura Centrum with patrycja. She screamed hell. It's safe and they treated us with care and seriousness, from the time we had to wear it on ourselves and hook it. I just guessed it because of the way I just always trusted everything poland. I trust polish to be loving, caring, disciplined and not make stupid life threaten mistake. This was the only reason why I did this. Now, I was on the air practically moving and looking down at where they play outdoor volley ball. I passed the club underneath me, I passed the restaurants, then I stopped at the end of the rope, which was the next building which you can see through the picture below.

The zipline companies come mostly at summer times. So if you want to feel as fabulous as I felt, then go to Manufaktura Centrum , łođz and get your own awesome experience, it's a one time and forever experience.

Party Life

I love going clubbing, its another part of life that you shouldn't miss. There is a lot of lesson, drama, and comedy all in one place, that's before you step out atearly morning like 3am on your way home and you see people walking on the road with your eyes closed. There are so many clubs just in piotrkowska street alone but i go to the best, KLUB CZEKOLADA located at piotrkowska 55. They always play hip hop and even afropop. We are always taking pictures and you had greater chances of meeting celebrities there.

When Gortat team (Washington wizard) came to łođz for a military and basketball celebration. We hanged out first together at Klub Czekolada, then we stepped over to Klub teatr.VIP lifestyle is the best, we stayed at the double tree by Hilton, łođz. This hotel is too neat and beautiful. Room service was lit and I almost did a music video at this hotel, maybe I would do it later, only God knows.

that's I and Daniel ochefu, he is a Nigerian playing in the same team with Gortat. We vibed together for days and it was sad to see it end. Thank God for making me meet you all.

Niebostan

Now, I am about to share an art experience with you all. Niebostan is located at piotrkoska 17, you have to step into the carve spot that looks like a canal, walk straight and look up. That it, you would first sight the outside hangout spot of this pub. Then you go upstairs and step in, there you would see a lot of foreigners, its easy to feel at home there. A lot of artist are always there to sit down and chit chat or showcase their art and craft for sale or sighting. Now I was invited to do a statue pose for several artist to sit and draw me. This is something I think is smart because for a model, you learn to stay one place unlike runway model. You have to be still for 20mins per pose. You would sweat like hell , the pay was good, but the joy that I had when I saw their finished work, I was pleased with myself. I realised we all gained and progressed in our life's in ways we couldn't describe then.

I have a sample for you below

that's my rear view. Priceless right??. I know

She also does crazy tattoos for cheap prices, if you call the tattoo studio early enough, you could get a discount and a specific time and date. You will also need to buy some bacteria cleanser for your piercing.

All informations will be given to you when you meet her. Good luck.

Hill Familia (042 gang)

Sincerely, I don't know where to start with this music crew, but i will tell you the whole story and how important it is for you to have a good behaviour and know yourself and what works for you. On a faithful day, i went to klub czekolada to perform with Larrysax( d thief) and Efive (d hyperman) with Dj bartech(official Dj for czekolada in łođz ). It was a lit night because everyone had the right mood, with that Mic in my hand, I felt 2 times powerful and I constantly gave them the moves. So I got called by a girl's, who was also sent by a friend that she would like to dance with me while dancing, she gave me an info that she plays the guitar and she is a model. I got excited because of the guitar part, I was so much interested in gathering connections with people interested in music in my city, so I collected her phone number and Facebook name.

We connected online and started chatting, then suddenly, she tells me that her boyfriend is a producer, who is Krystian Gierakowski ( instagram - chivas042). Krystian is one of the most indept producers that I know, a little cocky but if you are patient and you allow him to feel like he is right, then you will work well with him. Don't entertain unnecessary arguments and go straight to music. He create instrumentals, mix and master's. He currently owns his own studio in łođz . 

Now, meeting Krystian go me excited, so we talked a lot and I got the address, a date and time that I could step in. A day in that week, I went over to the studio to meet them up and see how things go. When I go there, Krystian came out and was like (dani, they are little sceptical about what you are here to do) I laughed..., I sat in the studio waiting for the beat after I had greater everyone. Then the beat dropped and immediately I created a hook for the beat, from then they fell in love with me.

That week, we created almost 9 songs with the leader Rzepecki ( instagram - Rzepaldz). We recorded ( Rzepa ft Dani Millz - Odbiicie, Rzepa ft Dani Millz - Dotknij życia, Dani Millz ft Rzepa - Gdzie Jestes), this songs are all in my debut album called (SKY DIVING) IN 2018. We went out together, took road trips together, ate together, went clubbing together. I felt at home with a music family. This is something I have always wanted and truly they are treated me with respect. #bamboo like they always called me.

Now, this is the most pleasing time of my life so far, the last 3months of 2017, proved to me that their is their limit to what I can achieve. While, being with hill familia (042 gang) was getting interesting everyday, I nerve had imaginations that its was going to be even crazier.  We started preparation to be one of the featured artist going along with Białas I Lanek tour. So first we stepped into wroclawiek, and it was a lit night. Imagine yourself being who you really want to be and you will suddenly see your self there, just keep work I hard, stay honest and look up to God by having Faith and he will guide your path. I always dreamt of being a star, but i never knew poland exist before i got there. And now it's the first country that I ever had a chance to be to. I put my effort in music and yes my dream came through in country i never knew existed before I got there.

I felt loved, listened to, scolded when I fuck up, treated like a brother, a son and a friend even most importantly as a family. I felt at home but still had my sister vaccum in my mind and hwart empty because i was far from my biological home. We travelled to wroclawiek in a lovely light blue bmw, chilled and ready to kill the stage. We performed that night and sincerely I can't remember any part of that nighr because i was drunk. A small but very clear city with liveliness and the urge to connect with people. I had a lovely time at wroclawek, beautiful centre of the city at night.

Next, we moved over to another lovely city in Poland called Poznan at the project lab. We also prepared ahead for this city and we moved to poznan the next day were we had booked a duplex for the night, so I found it its real easy to book or rent a duplex apartment for a night. Just Google it!!! . We got there at night and just went in dropped our  and went back out to see the city and chill a bit. We had lunch at the center of the city, and i got to call my friend clarisse and tell her that I am in her city. We had smiles in our faces and joy in our heart. Ate together, had chats together even though sometimes I didn't understand what they are saying, but i loved them and I strived to learn. We got there and then got some vodka for the night. I took my shower, got high, and drank some vodka with my bro. Always told me "come alive" because I was always online (chatting).

Transportation System (Mpk)

 I want to start with the transportation system In Poland there are about 5 or 6 transportation system you could make use of First there is the tram , Next there are taxi's You could also take the train to other cities if you don't want to drive , But as a student, not every student has a car from the first year in a new country So you can use the tram to go to other cities During the summer There is going to be like a bike available for people So if you like to cycle it's a very good place for you to cycle in the afternoon So when you want to go to class you just take the bicycle and just move, It shows that you are not only there to take , It shows that you can also learn from them. 

There are different knowledges in life but you will never know when they will come in handy, you will never know , there might be a situation whereby you will be in a tram and they demand for your ticket and you do not have it or your ticket time has finished before they approach you, probably one or two minutes later, they wouldn't pardon you, they will still collect money from you, I advice that you shouldn't give them any money (dont pay any money from the tram)!!!, take the ticket from them, give them your information they will write it and give you a ticket, take your ticket to mpk Łođz at a very close place at matejki, when you get to this place you can then pay for it at the office, then you are sure you would get to the government's pocket but if you pay them at the Bustop in the tram or the train or wherever.

Though at the train you can pay to an officer in that place then you will notice they will put the tickets from a machine, but from buses and tram please collect your ticket and go and pay at the office , respect yourself and pay your due debts, back to what I said about communication. You need to communicate with the people when you want to get or buy something at the store, you need help or you find yourself at a place you don't know, and you are probably stranded.

I advice you to learn to talk, because the polish are nice people, I will like to tell you a story 

On the first day I arrived at poland, I got fed by the people that brought us but these people are lazy disorganized thieves, We went to our hostels, we ate and then we slept, I woke up around 10/11am, I couldn't find food anywhere, I was hungry I didn't have money and I asked my friends but they ignored me I got to this lovely place , I actually had the map in my head, so I kept walking, jogging, I didn't know where I was going. Then I walked into the city,I got to piotrkowska street, this is the center of the city, I was in love at first sight (The lightning, the central team stop is quite large and beautiful ), the arts was awesome, the girls are beautiful, the guys are cool although they have mad people there also, I kept walking, I had a hard time locating this place, It seem that they know when you are new in the city, they will start bumping you just to get you angry, they hit shoulder to shoulder.

I heard voices (discordant sound) because they didn't know how to sing but I heard music, then I found out it was karaoke, so I went over, wrote my name and say down, I didn't have money to buy drink, I wasnt doing anything. So I went and sang Sam Smith "I am not the only one, when I was done singing people were crying, everyone was talking and asking how I really felt??, why I felt that way??, There was this man who just walked up to me and gave me 100 zlotych, which was equivalent to 10,000 naira. With this money I was able to eat and do other things, now you see why it is good to be Open minded to people, and that is how I started moving around, I tried to communicate, greet people at the door, talk with people ahem you get to the shops you greet, you practice and then it sticks to you.

so communication is another thing you need to put into your mind, It is very very interesting and gives you a great advantage over others, You just need to have a bank account from the bank that organises these bicycles and make them available on the street,I have a bank account with them and I employ you to get one too. It's Mbank. After one hour of riding, they charge 1 zloty, It's so understandable and so comfortable, you can order an uber, you know you can use other taxi services available for you at that particular city, we have other taxis available but uber is the most popular. It's good to connect things together like your phone, ATM card.

I will advise you to please make sure to buy your ticket before you enter a tram or bus, I wouldn't tell you twice, take your ticket before you enter the tram or a bus

If you get caught you will pay an amount of money that isso far from the price of a trip. Exactly 121.20zl . If you want to pay normally in the train it's not expensive for students , for adults it's more expensive, for students you will have a cut of like 51% for everything you do (tram, bicycle, bus, train ), whatever you do, your money is reduced by 51%. They give you easy way to talk to them, you can find out the time schedules for every transportation services from your Google Map. You can find out the time the tram is leaving your environment, you can find out how minutes it would take to get to your destination, with your Google Map you have download the Google Map, by going to your App Store and then Google map application, then click download it. 

They also tell you that it is very important that you learn to behave your self when In the transportation system, If you are on a tram or train or bus, whatever you are in, because there are night buses when one should end, be aware and get off, there are night buses from N1- N7, it depends on your destination, you can get night buses, but you have to be organized, at least behave yourself because polish people love their privacy If you are not smart enough to be jovial in a way that will not affect their personal security or make them feel bad, It might not be a problem, If you don't know how to communicate they will I will advise you to learn how to speak polish, make it a devotion and take your time, It's very important, It shows that you respect the country, yourself and the country you come from. It shows that you want to communicate with them.

"Acting as a profession"

I will like to tell you that in Poland, no matter what you are interested in. All you need to do is move around and ask questions. Most importantly use Facebook, join groups on Facebook. They would notify you constantly when extra characters for movies are asked for . So stay woke!! , make friends . I have acted in atleast 5 movies before I came back to Nigeria and i still get called even while I am in NIgeria.   If you would like to be added to some of this group's, then dm me on Facebook  (Dani mill Daniel Chukwunwike ). 

"Health Insurance for foreigners (student, visit or tourism)"

We are going to be talking about the health insurance for foreigners especially students in poland
First I will like to brief you about some things
There are two different types of health insurance in poland
There is the compulsory health insurance and there is the voluntary health insurance
As a student it is compulsory that you have a health insurance in poland
At least before you even go for your visa interview at your country, because before you get your visa you have to show them your health insurance certificate, It is very important at least 3months ahead before you arrive at Poland you have to get your health insurance and apart from that You also need to get the insurance because it is compulsory for students and workers
It is very compulsory because there is this institution called the National Institute of insurance services (zus)
These people are those who gets notified that you have your certificate before you even earn a student visa or working visa
Before you work you need that insurance you need the approval from the insurance company
The funny thing is even as a student
You need to get your insurance papers translated to polish
So they can be able to read and evaluate it
So if you are applying for school and you are about going to visit the embassy please ensure that your health insurance papers are in two different languages that is, in polish and English or the language you speak in your country
Also I will like to go further about health care in Poland, I will give you an example, PZU is a company in Poland but there basically situated in the east side of Europe , PZU is the insurance company I used, they don't just insure health and lives they insure many other things, they provide different products and services towards protecting you and your loved ones, you can protect your self, the good thing is you pay a little amount of money .

For example like 3months, you pay about 80 zloty, something very cheap, whenever you have a problem all you have to do is ensure that you call their emergency numbers, you have to call them
Let me give you the trick here: in need of health problems you have to talk about the health problems when it starts to hurt you, If you found out that you have a problem with your throat, don't go and start talking about it, you notice that something is funny with your throat but it is not hurting you or giving you discomfort, If you call them they won't answer you. So I advise that you wait for it to start giving you the discomfort or you can just pretend that it is giving you discomfort you can just tell them you are not feeling comfortable that it hurts.

The drugs will paid for by the insurance company, you have to tell them earlier before you go to the hospital, they will prescribe the hospital for you, telling you the exact hospital you need to go to, and when you go to the hospital, they already have your documents, so you collect the paper whatever bill they give you and the medical prescription don't forget to collect the medical prescription or whatever bill they give you on what they did for you
You are supposed to scan this bill and prescription send it to the health insurance by email, when you have scanned these documents and send it to them.

You should also call them and tell them that there are drugs that you need to pay for, you should scan the invoice with the doctor's prescription and send it to them, also when you are about to buy the drugs, you scan it and send it to their e-mail they do not need to give you permission to go and buy the drugs, when you buy the drugs with your own money and you send then invoice, doctor's prescription and receipt with your insurance number, the insurance number is very important to you either as a student or a worker like i said before.

When you have sent all these, and younhave gotten the drugs with your own money, within that week your money will be refunded to your bank account. This is how it works, i am just telling you out of my experience cause this is how it worked for me and so many people around me who were also using this particular insurance company, i am just going to give you some strategic points.

Please don't go meeting anyone that tells you he is an agent, he tells you to pay 1000zloty for your health insurance a year, when we all know that health insurance fore a year does not cost up to 400zl for a year especially if you came with a school from Nigeria called Babcock university, please resist them, they are thieves, they also collect 1000zloty for residence card.

Please beware do not pay such amount
Even if you are came through babcock university
You go to the European union
And go to the health insurance and tell them what is going on
They will tell you to pay yourself
Dont pay money to any babcock official or anybody that was brought
If you are from a Muslim country or any country outside Poland
Make sure you do everything, handle your health insurance yourself. Then when you get to Poland you can ensure that it is working
You have to go back to Poland and verify that the health insurance you registered in your country is working for example the health insurance I did in Nigeria doesn't work in Poland
They would not listen to you, all my stress of doing health insurance in Nigeria was a waste. It is expected, this is Nigeria. When you get to Poland you need to make that the insurance you did before you came is active. If not do it again, because trust me a new person in another country you have a high tendency to fall sick something funny in your system that has never happened before could happen. Especially if you lived in a hot environment and you are going to study in a cold environment for 2,34,5years or vice versa you might fall sick or have health problems and apart from having health problems in school or wherever
Another reason why you need that health insurance is
Incase you want to do part time work or summer jobs
You also need the health insurance because that PZU is a national health insurance service in zus
You can't get a job without an insurance especially as a foreigner
You can't get a job without health insurance
Next up I am going to give you information about the library
Whatever city you are going to these happens in all the cities.
This health care in Poland is of a fairly high quality
There is no discrimination in the use of the private health sector in poland
Both the citizens and foreigners have access to both public and private hospitals

Note : If you encounter any man 6ft tall, black and calls himself KUNLE from Nigeria, I is married to a polish woman so he couldstay there. RUN AWAY, JAPA, SALO. I dont know what other language to write it in YORUBA LANGUAGE does the perfect evaluation .

POLAND LIBRARY, ITS USAGE AND ADDRESSES

I want to start by talking about the library at Poland today, I am going to be giving you informations about the library at some cities in Poland 

I will be talking about łođz , Warsaw , poznan

I will only tell you about the libraries which I have gone to OR ever been to

Before I give you locations I need to tell you the criteria and all the things you need to bring when you are going into the library 

First you need to know that you must go with your student ID card or if you are not a student and you will like to use the library you will need to go with a verification card, some sort of id, it could be a driver's license or your international passport which you used to go into the country.

If you are visitor you will have to pay to make use of the library 

It depends on the library though 

If you go to the students library you will have to pay 

And just make use of the books the students pay for it from their school fees

But the money is little for an hour it is about 2zloty

You need to make sure your identification documents is with you, that is what you need to be identified with.

You need to know that you are going to observe silence in the library because they won't waste time to kick you out if you are not silent

I will give you some names starting from łođz, the city of łođz Is the 3rd largest city in Poland this is where I lived so I am going to start with it to give you information

First there are few universities libraries in łođz which I know, there are only 2 I can tell you about , and I also know their address 

I know the 3rd one but one of them is the medical University of main library is located at ....... The 2nd one is the University of łođz library itself is at.....
3rd is the 3rd university of Łođz 
It's located at.....
And all these library observe the same rule

They are mostly about anything medical
Anything medical like biology
You can see any other things too
To the lowest stage of biology, physics, chemistry
Its basically About science
The University of uch covers everything
Medical, computer
This is the main place I go to
If you play alot
I ball alot, like I enjoy myself I party alot but I always like to spend time to work on myself

Like everything I do
If you are someone who works hard and play hard like me
You need somewhere silent
If you like to study for probably 2hours this is the place for you to go to
Technical university of łođz is very
It's located at....
But all you need to know is it is very close to the technical university itself
This basically about that
Technical schools
They cover a lot of things I like libraries like this because
Wasava is the biggest city in Poland
It is the capital of Poland
It is where a lot of programs go through
It is where most foreigners go to stay mostly
I only know two libraries there, do forgive me
The first library I know of is the University of Warsawa
The library is very spacious
It carries all the prestige of the capital of Poland
I don't think there is any book in the world that you don't find there
Concerning every part of education
Music, lifestyle, medicine, engineering, computer, computer engineering, mechanical engineering
Electrical engineering, sewing, tailoring, athletism,
Whatever you want to do
You can read about this right in the university of Warsawa library
There is another one
The medical university of Warsawa library
If you don't know
Poland is one of the highest country to study medicine in
Their medical students are working high as hell
That is the main reason I created the application which I will launching in Poland when I get back pretty soon
Trust me if you want to make money just try and make an app and help students life in Poland
You will be so in money
That is my plan
Sadly you can't read my brain because it is right in my head
For you to know how I am going to go about it
The medical university library in Warsawa is located at... And as I told you about the medical university library in łođz 
It is the same thing
The same contents
More books
More enthusiastic people around
I will just tell you more about poznan and krakow soon enough
Poznan and krakow are two other cities
That have lovely schools, lovely libraries and all
I will also like to inform you
If you are someone who likes to talk too much please don't go to the library
Just go home and read in your house

Shopping Malls In łođz 

I am going to go straight to the groceries and shopping spots in Poland
We will talk about uch because that is where I lived
Forgive if I speak more about łođz 
Apart from the economy store, the place where I used to buy my cheap clothes
Remember I told you
Apart from that place
There are other places you can do your shopping
First you need to know that there is a place called manfaktura
It is the biggest shopping mall in łođz 
This place has basically everything
Adidas store, puma store, Nike store, bershka,  everything. Clothing and even the food
You can buy food at KFC, McDonalds, Chinese, etc
Let me describe it for you
Manifactora has dance schools, cinemas, it has a very large parking lot
It has a bar in the middle of the whole manufaktura
There are very dynamic because they change
During summer they always find a way to bring in sand, in to the middle of the place
Like a very large amount of sand for the people to play volleyball and for the people to just sit and relax like they are actually at the beach(artificial)
It's a place that is safe for them
For that can't go to....... For people that can't go as far as those places it's is a very nice place
You can buy everything you want
In summer time they do a kind of promo
If you buy anything worth 150 zloty, you will get some things free you just get them and go out to meet whatever games th a pleases you.
It is a very lovely place to go
Don't go there alone, you will be bored
So the next one is sukcesja
It is very close to my place
It is located at...... This place called sosecia I have so much memories
Especially with my polish crew and some of the people I danced with
We went there to buy some clothes
We sat down and made videos there
We chill, especially on Sundays when there is nothing to do
We just go there, we drank ice-cream
Talked about things, smoked
It is a very beautiful place
Now I withdrew telling you about galleries lodzka
Sosecia is a small part of manufaktura
Galleria lodz is all about movies
Most importantly when you cross the road you will see straight ahead you see the mall where you can actually buy things
It is almost as big as manufaktura 
I will just say that manufaktura ranks first, galleries lodzka ranks second and sukcesja ranks third
Then the economic store goes last
If you need anything, these are the places to go to
If you are looking for some for athletic shoes especially for running 100 meters professional races. 
If you are an athlete you won't find this there
You will have to go to runner.Pl
That is the website you get what you need.. I wish you good luck in your shopping and don't forget me when you buy your things
