Travel / I travel to Poland for 3 months, but can not find any travel deals [8]

Don't know where you live at but there are some Polish Travel Agents that are reasonable. I went for 700 in March 2011. Only thing was I couldn't change my ticketed. The family wanted me to stay longer. Good luck.

That is true no matter were you go when you are in an interracial relationship. We still get it in the States. I have had the pleasure of visting Poland this year and enjoyed it a great deal. You get more looks, stares and glares in the villages by most but some will treat you a normal human being. The cities are just like any other. My husband has been questioned about our relationship from friends, family and just Polish people in general. For the most part not all of his family seemed to care some friends but they have treated me with open arms and treat me as I have been in the family forever. On the other hand they are very mindful to watch others as and when are all out together as well. I am back in the states now and will make another trip either this summer or fall. So far things have been fine.

Congradulations on your decision and move. For I will be doing the same soon myself. My husband and I have been married for 4years together for 6. I just came from Poland visiting the family and it is very different. They live in a village but came from a big city. I would recommend you visiting first. But life is life and sometimes we can't do what we wan only what we must. It is a big change and I completely understand you being nervous.

Thank you.

13 more days before I am off on a jetplane going to another country (POLAND) can't wait. I am actually excited. Thank you all whom have sent messages, given advice of some places to go and visit.

Everything has it pros and cons.

Racism itself does not (in my opinion) have a pro whatsoever.

I was including racism as well as how things are. Since I have never been there. I have to take what all here and others I have spoken too are saying and be optimist until I have had the oppurtunity to experience Poland myself.

I have had this drink and like it a lot. Some friends gave it to me with apple juice. Nice

Olaf- yes it was Polish forums and other Polish people. Also Googled "Racism in Poland" pretty shocked at what to find but oh well it is always different for some than others. I don't treat myself as a circus exhibit but that what it reminds me of. Thank you though.

BBman-I am doing exactly that visiting friends. I was told about Sadów being a village. I speak to them every weekend to every other weekend. I have heard about that too (make sure you let them know you`re from the US not Africa - I think they`ll like you more that way). I do plan to have fun a lot of fun. Thank you.
