Orange and T-Mobile have the best reception in my experience.
Transportation: Metro, tram, bus, urban rail(you won't need this one). Metro, tram, bus all run on the same ticket.
Food: Food is decently cheap here. To get meat protein I was paying about 5-7 USD per meal. Not bad.
Recommend U Szwejka close to M1 Politechnika.
Neighborhoods: Centrum/Warsaw Central Station is a good area. If in doubt stay towards the east, but not across the river into Praga unless you're a hipster. If you are night gaming, stay as close to Mazowiecka. Something north of Mazowiecka but west of Nowy Swiat opens up both areas for you. Marszalkowska Street between Centrum and Politechnika is also a good locale with plenty of great places to eat.
Gym: I only checked out Zdrofit at Centrum, would recommend. Good new facilities.
Touristy shit: Lazenki Park is really nice, else go see Old town and walk along Nowy Swiat. There actually isn't much do to here unless you are into some niche stuff.
Nightlife/clubs: Sat night:
Enklawa: 1st place hit at around 1245am, I really gotta get going earlier this isn't Berlin. Anyways, the place is packed, ratios 60/40, quality is decent. Opened multiple sets, never got blown out once. Language barrier cockblocks me a few times but there's so much targets you just bounce to the next one. Everyone's here for the same reasons, unless you see a girl get locked down she's still open for the taking.
Room 13: Went across the street looking for Sketch Nite and ended up in here. Smaller place, ratio 75/25 quality was alright. Opened a blonde in a 2 set, could tell it wasn't going anywhere and IG closed her for future potential. Went outside got a burger and went to...
Sketch Nite: I thought it was Asian night, turns out it's just a normal night. This place is your Hail Mary, not because the talent is bad(it isn't), but this is the most outright hookup-ish place I could see. I spent most of my time in here and in Enklawa. Ratio was 60/40 degrading to 80/20, but don't let that put you off. At 5am, girls and guys were still matching up. Got talking to a 2 set and IG'ed both of them.
Went for a date with 1 of the 2 set later next week and it wasn't going anywhere. Super traditional girl, but good genes.
Next Sat night: Opera: Got there about midnight, and wow I thought I made a mistake. Capacity of maybe 500 people and there was maybe 20 people in there. With that said, multiple sets of 2-3 girls and maybe like 5 guys including myself. Girls were outwardly looking for attention. Found a Ukrainian 6.5 hiding in the corner by herself and isolated her for an hour but she wasn't down for SNL. Tough one for me, she was into me but I could tell she wanted me to work for it.
Come here if you don't mind running empty dancefloor game with every set being able to see you approach the other sets.
Enklawa: See above.
Polish women: I can see why so many go to Poland, Polish girls are receptive and are pleasant. They are very sweet girls. Very few blowouts received. Quality is pretty decent as well, I can't agree with the decline of Poland. Polish girls will also open you if they are interested, this I never saw coming. ONS are possible from night gaming, but not easy.
Polish men: They are pretty laid back and I can see why Western players see that as having no game, but all my nights out Polish guys weren't afraid of approaching. They maybe aren't as smooth but they are no pushover. They might not lift but do dress well too.
Summary: Pro: It is the most North American city I have been to in Europe thus far. Shit actually works here and makes sense. Large increase in corporate positions, service levels are good for Central/EE.
Con: It is the most North American city I have been to thus far. I can see why people say the decline of Poland is arriving.
Observation: Warsaw feels like it has a real economy unlike Prague, Budapest from walking around. Major companies have buildings and signage everywhere. In Prague and Budapest I was a little confused as to where the money in the economy was coming from.
