Guest 9 May 2009 / #1as an oriental asian, i would clearly be marked as a foreigner when visiting poland. I would be staying and walking around with a polish friend, but i dont speak or understand the language and i'm a young female. would it be unsafe to go? i wouldnt be wandering around the streets late at night, and would be in a big city... but i have heard things.. thanks for your response.
