Want to be able to climb after work and in the weekends ...
Booze:
Beer is around PLN 1,80 to 3,50 depending on the sort. Expect around PLN 7 in pubs.
Wódka: around PLN 20 for a bottle. If you drink the shit the alcoholics drink you'll pay about PLN 13-15 in Biedronka.
If you want to rough it: Cleaning alcohol (Denaturat) legally contains no methanol here, as they found out that the tax revenue they avoid collecting from the bums is less expensive than having to hospitalize and treat the same bums for methanol poisoning. PLN 3 for a bottle of 96% ethanol, with additives that are not poisonous, but have a disgusting taste. Bums solve this by filtering it through bread.
Fags:
10-13 PLN per pack. I smoke a pack of Camel a day which sets me back PLN 11,70.
Mary Jane:
Technically illegal in Poland, but no problem to get. About 40 PLN/gramme for the stuff imported from Amsterdam.
Proper drugs
I can get it, but I don't approve of it. Find someone else
Bus ticket to Zakopane: Around 20 PLN
If you find a job in Kraków, don't go through the "official" channels for finding an apartment, as they will rip you off. They cater mainly to foreigners and have the most expensive apartments on the market, and it's usually not worth it in my opinion. Use gumtree instead, or maybe I can help you.
