UK, Ireland / Racist ex-priest Międlar tries to fly from Poland to U.K. again. [293]

I would be heavily concerned over the removal of the 1st amendment from the West, than some opinionated Polak wanting to visit England.

Also, f**k George Soros! ((((( TRIGGERED INTENSIFIES )))))

Travel / Are Polish people as unfriendly as Slovaks? [84]

Real Poles (and real working class English people) certainly don't welcome pompous attitudes like yours, especially if you have such remarks on autistic people like myself. .... talk about bigotry, sheesh!

I suggest you go to Germany or London ...you'll fit in better there I would think. Good luck!

Travel / Why do you visit Poland? [223]

@kaprys

I visited Jasna Góra in 2013 when my friend showed me around Czestochowa ... very impressive monastery, and I plan to visit there again. :) ... along with the limestone castles shown on the website I posted. What about car parking at the castles? Are most of them free?

I don't plan to hike at all, as it is only myself visiting - last thing that I want to happen to me is get lost (that's another story to tell btw).

Love / What do you think of Polish girls? [40]

I don't know many Polish girls as I'm from England, but there was one I used to bump into regularly during my visits to Poland for some computer events I went to, and she was a very pretty woman and very friendly. We got on very well, but there was never a love connection between us.

I've never met or come across a really hot Polish woman (gold digger types), but I do know they exist and I would personally stay away from them.

Just a matter of interest... if I want to meet a Polish woman for dating, where would be the best place to go, especially in Poland? And please don't say brothels or strip clubs, I am not a pervert nor a loser.

Travel / Why do you visit Poland? [223]

I'm born and bred in England.

Some years back, I used to be part of a computer art festival / cult called the "demoscene", and there are quite a few them scattered across Europe, Poland being one of those countries.

So in 2010 I went on my first visit to one of these computer events which was located just outside Katowice, Poland (a town called Czeladz)... this was my first ever visit to Poland from the UK.

At the time, I was only really interested in the event and the people that attended it, but I do remember seeing that part of the country being quite run-down at the time - but this was mainly due to a lot of roadworks and rebuilding the infrastructure around that area. (We're talking about 7 years ago here). I was also with a couple of Polish acquaintances (both who live in the UK and that I met up with) who shared the same interest and that one of them drove me to the place we were going to, so I wasn't in a nervous state of traveling arrangements.

The most positive thing of my experience there was the people I met there... many of them were friendly and gave me a warm welcome. I will have to state though, that some of them didn't understand my English at all (they expected that I spoke like someone from London) ... my accent is North Eastern and I did talk quite fast in those days, so in a way it was a fault on both sides. Other than that, I enjoyed going there and was not treat badly. The booze was cheap as well, but I didn't go there specifically for that - unlike these typical English tourists who go on these stag parties in Krakow.

I've been to Poland about 6-7 times (between 2010-2014), mainly for those computing events. But as for the country itself, I haven't actually checked out the attractions and culture yet. ... this is what I plan to do in late September. :)

Because I've been to those computer events, I've made a very good friend who lives in Poland (Częstochowa) and, in 2013, he showed me around his town with his wife and children... so I have experience of seeing the everyday life of a Polish family in a typical town of the Silesia, Poland. I have contacted him again recently to meet him on one of the days of the week that I go there.

So, if there's anyone who wants to give me advice of what to see around Silesia/Krakow region of Poland, let me know. One of my other friends from Poland suggested me this website on what to see there, so I have some idea what to do already but further advise would be nice. (particularly on car parking, as I also plan to drive in Poland)

All in all, I have never thought badly about Poland so far. :)
