Travel / My (short) Poland experiences - bad luck? [142]
Travelling with my wife and most (but not all) of the time with Polish friends - which made thw whole thing even more difficult and awkward really.
Our Polish friends actually seemed to change (for the worse) the moment they arrived in Poland - I'm not kidding!
Areas visited by the way: £odz/Pabianice, Wrocław, Krakow...and a south central village that I can't remember the name of.
Warszawaski, re Ireland/expectation of friendliness etc, I really don't think that this is the case. I've lived in a few different countries, I have friends and in-laws of many different nationalities so a 'friendliness' culture shock wouldn't really apply.
