I was talking to a guy who used to live in the Warsaw area. He said he would go for jogging near the Wisla river with a baseball bat in case stray dogs attack him.
-- but it was about 10 years ago --

Life / Are Polish people open to others? [20]
Generally Poles are open to other people (especially to strangers as they aren't usually very friendly towards their Polish neighbours). So if a stranger needs help, Pole is open - but if a friend or neighbour needs help, it's not always the case.

Genealogy / Is tallness common among Polish people? [201]
Some of these questions should be very obvious. Poles are not from another planet. What do they teach in school nowadays - not history, sociology, or geography for sure.

Such questions create even more silly stereotypes about Poles in general. How can one answer such a general question like "are Poles tall?". How would one answer the question "Are Poles fat"? It's all subjective opinion and the answer should be: "It depends - some of them are, some are not."

Sure they can. Greencard is like US passport (almost) - you can travel as if you were a US citizen. Especially to Canada.

When I had US greencard I was a couple of times in Canada. So this could be confirmed without calling the authorities. You just cannot stay there over 1 year (otherwise, your greencard will be revoked).

Frankly, it is shocking to me that you are 23 and have never got drunk? If you want to socialize and meet new people, you need to have a drink or two - especially at your age.
