Life / Polish culture do's and dont's? [106]

I'v discovered (in Gdynia anyway)
Dont walk on the bits of the path that are painted pinkish by the boulevard, that is technicaly a cycle lane, albeit it looks just like a pink path, and you will get mowed down by an angry pole.

make sure your driving on the wrong side. or you die.
thank eveyone, and apologise to everyone, i am afteral, the imposter in there company.
Dont be rude to policemen, expecialy if you are in the wrong, bribe them at all costs even if it requires you to hand over your walet and pin code.

Do become friendly with loacal gangsters, they will help you as long as you dont **** them off.
tap the bar with your money when your giving a tip, before you hand over you cash. apparently it means 'keep the change'
If your being fed by a family you dont know very well, keep eating untill you feel you might bust, its rude otherwise. (this aplies to drinking too)

thats all for now.

Life / Polish culture do's and dont's? [106]

* always turn your lights on as soon as you start your car. i dont know why, but everyone drives around with here lights on full even in broad daylight and sun...bizzare!

* Drink the local bear, it makes you think your polish is conciderably better than it is ;0)

* Prepare to gain a good stone when arriving here, especialy if your staying with a family or some loved ones. You will be fed, and no, its not an option.

* Try a specialty 'street' food. Its a long baguette, tomato sauce and melted cheese (i contest its like pizza bit no one aggrees) especialy good when drunk.

* Dont listen to any pole that sais they have bad english, literaly everyone i know here sais there english is no good, yet i understand every word, most people did it at school, but dont be complaisant.

* Go where the loacals do. I would never have been to the places i have if not for my Polish mates. Down dark alleys and behind restaurants is where the good bars and clubs are.

* Swim in the Baltic, freeze your nipps off. Apparently its health giving.
