Life / Do Polish people respect other cultures? [96]


Well, i could say a lot about that. Had lots of exchange programs with Germany in high school. Met a lot of biased, rude and extremely ignorant ppl. But at the same time a lot of open minded and amazing ones..

Loads of stereotypes about Poland in Germany. It seems to be changing though, just very slowly.

Life / How will I be treated in Poland by Polish people? I'm an English person. [26]


Absolutely well I'm sure. And esp.knowing that it's Gdansk I wouldn't worry at all about this.

My boyfriend will move here from Paris in Sept. He also likes Poland a lot (so far at least:)
I'm not worried how ppl will receive him as he's just plain lovely;)) But I'm curious if there will be any cultural differences that might become problematic. Nothing like that so far but guess we'll notice more once he lives and works here.

I'll go search for that topic on PF..

Travel / Cheap airlines are not THAT cheap anymore ! [30]

I go from Krakow to Paris at least once a month, I used to be able to get a ticket for 50euro, now 100 is a cheap one.

There's easyjet, wizz and transavia and i usually combine them to get the best price and dates. But i have to say i really hate wizz! They're usually the cheapest but the airports are far and they seem to be late all the time! and a few hours in overcrowded Bouvais airport aint that much fun.. But maybe it's just the Katowice-Paris connection that's so bad for them?

BTW, what's up with prices of water in airports and on the plane??!!
I think this is totally against the consumer law or whatever you call it in English. In the area of the airport after the customs control, where you're not allowed to have any liquids, the water costs 2 - 3 times more.

In Bangkok they have free water in the big bottles, in Doha water fountains (like most airports in the States probably?) But in Poland or Paris nothing like that. Don't know about UK.

Maybe i'm being silly here but it just drives me crazy to think about the profit they make by abusing the fact we're not allowed to carry liquids.
