Things to be afraid of in Poland?

Dear all,

I see all of you have visited Poland and have an impression on it eathier good or "very good". I am going to visit Poland and live there for a year. What r the things you think I should be afraid of? :)

Some people here would say: foreigners? :) BUt I'm sure it's not the case (it also depends on your nationality). Hmm - let me think... Maybe you won't like some Polish people who not always mind their own busines...?

Some people may afraid some "tipsy" poeple walking at night on the streets - but they are usually friendly and harmless; they just need someone to chat with :).

Strayed and homeless dogs (sometimes vicious) running freerly on the streets...

If you've got a very nice car, you should keep an eye on it in Poland (especially near the Eastern border).

I'd agree. the Polish driving is something to fear...avoid the potholes and not all the roads are nicely paved

Hi there,

I'd say keep an eye on your wallet. Your money will fly out of it like crazy. Where exactly is it that you are going?

When do these cars stop heading east?
Germany > Poland > Belarus > Russia > The Pacific Ocean? (somewhere north of Polynesia, you might find the Volkwagenonesian archipelago)

Old ladies...with very red hair. scarey..

Everything, be afraid, be very very afraid.
I do not think you are going with the right attitude, could just be a badly made question.
I am sure you will be fine, so long as you are not out during a full moon, mwaaaahaha ha ha ha!!

Very big women who have been drinking.......

OOh. Do you have a story to share wr?

I have one very scary incident with a very big drunk woman, though that will go with me to my grave:/

Yeah I would like to hear that one and all, come on, sharing is caring

It was at a friends party.....i was pretty drunk...two rather big drunken ladies did there best to strip me naked and have me.....very scarey.....had to hide in the garden...

The evils of alcohol ;)

Old biddies in shopping queues

The moody till workers at food shops.

Axe murderers hiding behind trees in the forest....apart from friday night...when i go to the local bar.....

Snipers taking pot shots after hours

and also mohair berets - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moherowe_berety

eek.....i hear these beret wearers are part of a very dangerous terrorist organisation....

Mother-in-Laws

Reminds me of monthy pythons granny sketch, a bunch of grannys attacking young defenceless men.
Actually was it a documentary with John Clease in Pcim?
Enni, Don't go to Pcim

Anyone wearing a shell suit , and carrying a carrier bag......keep well away...

Invading armies, I mean really it is getting ridiculous, you go down the shop for a pint of milk, and in comes the Tartars shooting spears and generally having a laugh, then the sweds, with their funny hats, the germans with their funny walk, the Russians nothing funny about them, The mongols shooting their arrows.

I tell you by the time you get back home your knackered

Hi all,

I think Enni should stay home :) LOL

I think you're right :o)

lol. I actually did see a few recently. Red, orange...eeek. What's up with that?


Beggars at every bus and train station can be pretty darn aggressive. Have some change in you packet to get rid of them. And, no matter what you do - don't light up a cigarette. You'll be surrounded by a few who will want one.

The further east you go..the more red is the hair....In Russia they have really bright red hair , almost luminous....
