Life / Is it safe for me and my Asian friends to come to Poland? [44]
I'm East Asian and have lived here since August 2008 and have had only two attacks, not bad I suppose. First one was on arrival at the airport where I got in the way of a group of local women who wanted to jump queue ahead of me. (I guess it would be redundant to say that Poles do NOT understand queuing). They were crossed and kept saying quite loudly, "like egg yolk" and giggling behind my back...brilliant welcome to the country!
The next time was when I walked out of the railway station and a couple of local yobs (not unusual outside railway stations, anywhere) randomly decided to call out "Cengiz Khan" at the top of their voice. Flattery or abuse - didn't stick around long enough to find out!
It can be fun though - I always scan the faces in the buses to see who would be most p**sed off if I sat next to them. I'd plonk myself down and start blowing my nose or scratching my armpits or something. Hee! Hee!
