Indian/Oriental Visiting Poland

Hi.. I've come across this website after doing a search on Poland. I'm from the UK (born and raised here) but my ethnic background is mixed (Indian/Oriental).

I have made lots of good/great Polish friends over the past few years and have often wanted to visit but have read some threads regarding "problems" that some have faced whilst being in Poland - Although these seem to be really old now!

Can anyone tell me what it's like over there please? I'm sure it's perfectly fine and maybe some threads have been blown out of proportion but if someone could let me know it would be appreciated.

Thanks

PS. Apologies about the Subject title - It said it had to reflect the content of the post!

In all honesty, it's pretty unlikely that you'll meet trouble. I would certainly recommend to keep your wits about you, don't go to the bad parts of town and don't draw attention to yourself in situations where knuckleheads might notice - but apart from that, I'm pretty sure that you'll be fine :) That advice actually applies to anyone really - skin colour doesn't really come into it.

Do be prepared for some stares - but this isn't always rude or offensive, as it can simply be curiosity. You might get some muttered comments - but to be honest, this applies to all tourists, not just ones of a different skin colour. I take particular pride in winding up people on the bus to my school - there's one guy who we always see that clearly hates English speakers, yet he's far too polite to actually do anything but move seat.

Where about in Poland do you intend to go?
