Life / Is Poland a safe country for people of color? [241]
I'm in this very situation at the moment. Im grew up in France but my parents are from SE Asia.
My girlfriend decide to move to Wroclaw for her studies. So I moved with her. This is my first time in Poland, I never though about coming to this place before. Like it wasnt really a country that I wanted to visit.
Since we here (two weeks), I noticed girls are watching me a lot. Like staring. In the pub especially, nightclubs too. In the street too, but staring like I've never been stared at before.
Boys have no problems with me I guess, sometime I just feel that they are looking at me in a bad way, or looking down on me. Old people look at me too, but not like young people.
Something that I never done before in London, or France is giving away cigarette when one is asking. Old people are really nice when they ask and I'm giving to them (they know I'm a foreigner, so they say thank you and trying to speak a little bit). Young people are just asking, and sometime they leave without saying thanks.
I never felt bad in here since I'm here. I'm just little bit afraid sometimes, but I think it will be better and better with time. I hope, because this country and the people are nice.
