Poland

I was trying to sleep in the Goodbye Lenin Hostel in Zakopane, Poland. Earlier that day, the owner of the place offerered me drugs and got angry with me when I refused. Another guest came into the room, and started shouting at the top of his voice. This was nearly midnight. I told him to be quiet, but he shouted abuse at me. I walked away to complain to the staff, but for no reason, three members of staff pushed me to the ground, and punched me several times in the face. They then told me to leave. When I asked them why, they said I was "attacking anothern guest" which was totally untrue because I was walking away from the person. I complained to the police, but because they spoke bad english, I couldn't get my point across, and eventually gave up and dropped the charges. I'm wondering how to warn other travellers to STAY AWAY from that hostel. This I have written accounts on Tripadvisor, and hostelworld, but I'm wondering whate else to go to warn travellers of this place.

i am probably going to get a Polish Falcon tattoo in the inside of my right bicep to show my Polish heritage. the outside of my right bicep will likely be the American Eagle from the Harley Davidson logo. i was born and raised in the U.S., my father was born and raised in Poland and came over when he was 16, my mother was born and raised in the U.S. but both of her parents both emigrated from Poland.

what do you think?

We just bought an antique table and chairs that was made in Poland about 1900-1910. It is a naturally dark wood, with a grain somewhat like oak, but not as wild. The table leaves were still in the original wood boxes they were brought over in. I just lemon oiled them, and they darkened right up. The style of the table is a heavy plank top round with a big pedestal and four slightly wavy legs. The chairs are very much like a combination of Shaker and Mission. Pretty simple, with legs that were handmade, each one is slightly different.

Of course, logically you know to ask if you on someones property. For instance if I was in the country-side just exploring with it - is it illegal? I don't want to do wrong, Poland has much to offer in the way of history and I thought metal detecting would be fun and interesting.

I haven't been to Poland in 8 years and am having trouble remembering how they dress. I think I remember people wearing sleeveless dresses. Is this ok? I don't want to offend anyone or look too touristy.
Are there any major "donts" in clothing?
I want to wear a dress that was originally a halter top, but I converted it so the straps cross in the back and are then sewed down. Is this ok? I'm going to be going to places like Auschwitz and zakopane (yeah, I prolly spelled that wrong).
Thanks for any clothing (or manner/conduct) advice!

My 12 year old daughter is going to Poland in a week to be with her grandparents (they are Americans, visiting Poland for 2 years, grandpa is Polish). Is there anything she needs to know or do while she is there? She knows her cell phone won't work, nor will she be able to plug anything electrical in.

Compared to British prices, is it very costly to travel across Poland? For instance, later this year I plan to take a train from Krakow to Chopin's birthplace, 60 km from Warsaw. Does anyone know how such a fare would compare with British prices? Would we be talking the equivalent of a hundred pounds or more?

Any ideas are appreciated.

Are they usually funny, serious, uptight, lazy, fat, skinny, ugly, pretty....etc? I read that 98% of people living in Poland are homogenious (pure Polish with long ancestry of Polish) Which leads me to think that the purest traits would be evident today. Best answer goes to the most descriptive answer. Thank you so very much!

Hi All

I'm going to Poznan for work and am considering staying over for a few extra days to get a taste of Poland and hopefully have a few beers / vodkas. Does anyone know:

- If it's worth staying on in Poznan - if yes where are the good places to go and is it easy to get some cheap accommodation?
- If it's not worth staying in Poznan is it cheap and easy to get somewhere else that is nice?
- What are the Polish like with the English, generally pretty friendly?

Thanks

What kind of traditional festivities are celebrated during Easter week in Poland. Is there a calendar of events, say for processions or the equivalent of the USA's Easter Egg Hunts?
