Quoting: AlicjaP. i have a feeling the general opinion about us is negative. I've lived in Poland for 3 years and had a horrible experience while living there. Alot of them are unfriendly and been robbed 4 times while living there. I lived in Germany for 5 yrs. and was told that Polish are thieves don't trst anyone and i didn't listen but learned the hard way. I was always friendly to all and trying to speak their language but they prefer not to deal with foreiners. I did meet a few very few nice people.

I don't know where you were, but next time you might want to try a bit less of a ghetto-type-neighbourhood.

Quoting: sparrow I don't know where you were I lived in Krasnik, Lublin, Pulawy, Swidnik, Radzyn Podlaski, Seidlce and can't really make any difference in my opinion about people in this area.

I'm sorry to hear about your experiences then and that it has changed your views about Polish people. No one hates the Polish criminals more than the Poles themselves as they give us this kind of reputation abroad. Cheers Quoting: JoanUK Unfortunately i've made similar experiences in Warsaw. I know it's not the whole folk to be blamed for it and it could happen in any other country but it did happen over here. Sorry guys don't mean to put you down. It happened to me in Poland as well.. and I'm Polish ;) Basically as a tourist, all the usual applies: Don't look like a tourist. Don't get lost in shady neighbourhoods. Watch for pickpockets in crowded places like metros. Sorry to hear about it Joan.

Im Englsih and had my ipod stolen while I was on the underground in London. Doesnt matter who you are, where youre from, or where you are, people steal all around the world. Why should Poland be any different?
