Life /
Well You visited and/or lived in Poland, tell us what its like. [41]
Well I've had a very different experiance in Warsaw, so far. Coming from New York, people were shooting me sympathetic looks and giving their condolences when heaing I was moving to Poland. I came with zero expectations (in feb) and the number has only risen higher.
I LOVE the people here. They are friendly, helpful and ready with a smile! Yes, I know, i had also heard that people do not smile here often...NOT my experiance. Someone I barely knew for a week, was nice enough to give me a "surival guide to poland" to make it easy for me. People who could not speak a lick of english tried their hardest to get the meaning across(inlcuding making pictures on a piece of paper!) while in the process getting a good laugh out of it. In general they are kind and caring, and seem to have a good heart. They are sincere in their expression, as in whatever they feel you see, which is something lacking in the US.
Not knowing the language ofcorse makes things difficult, but I have always believed that a place is made by its people, and with a welcoming enviorment, much can be overcome with support.
I am sure there are negatives as well, where is it not? But for me right now, the positives far overcome the negatives.
Btw, Im South asian, incase anyone is thinking that I'm getting this treament due to having the blonde hair, blue eyes syndrome!
