Travel / Poland is unsafe for visiting British Citizens ! - so I've been told ... [18]

Absolutely untrue. I visited Poland last year (I'm Canadian though) and had a wonderful experience. I went with my husband, I speak EXTREMELY limited Polish (at the time, only 3-4 phrases) and everyone was very nice to me, even when I just said thank you in Polish. I would recommend learning a few phrases, like "Excuse me, do you speak English?" before going, just to show a bit of effort. I found even those who spoke limited English enjoyed trying to practice with me.

All in all it is a beautiful country, I liked my time there very much and can't wait to go back. I spent my time in Krakow and can't recommend it enough; it's my favourite city in the world!

As for wives being treated like slaves, maybe I got lucky because my husband is the opposite of this, and my in laws were warm and welcoming.

Love / English girl. Do Polish men afraid to show their feelings or they are just not comfortable in UK? [84]

This is not a cultural issue. My husband is very warm and kind, especially toward women, and his friends are the same. Sounds like a basic case of incompatibility.

Love / First date in krakow [22]

Ah Wieliczka is where my husband proposed to me, in the cathedral down there. It was awesome.

We ate at some great restaurants in Krakow, very impressive. One I believe was Indus Tandoor, another was Gruzinskie Chaczapuri. Then afterwards we'd go have a hot chocolate at the chocolate drinkery in the main square Pijalnia Czeckolady.

Magical city. My favourite in the world.
