Polonia /
Germans: Do Poles like them or dislike them? [217]
Yesterday one of my students from Germany asked me this question.
He was told by many ppl that when he comes to PL, he must be very very cautious, because in PL ppl steal a lot, espacially if someone is a foreigner. He was scared of conversating in English with me, while walking through Nowy Świat and Krakowskie Przedmieście in Warsaw (!)...
I live in Warsaw all my life and nothing like this never happened to me here. My partner is a foreigner and also nobody was never trying to steal anything from him here.
Why always we (Polish ppl) have to be responsible for some stupid Polish folks, who used to go in the past to Germany to steal their cars etc. Anyways, is it more like urban myth or really Polish folks steal there a lot, so German ppl are scared to speak foreign language, even while walking through the most beautiful street in Warsaw full of foreigners on Saturday afternoon?
