A lot of people think Poland is still stuck in the 70's or before. So any questions about: shops, transport etc. Even on these boards some posters are asking about buses and how to get around. It's like we still have dirt tracks and donkeys.

about Poland..well not quite the same, more ignorant cliches I guess. Such as Poles only eat cabbage and that all Polish Girls want to meet Western guys. But I agree that most seem to think that Poland is a repressed backward country, rather than the vibrant developing country it really is.
It's the same in the UK with American tourists believing that Sherlock Holmes is real and that it is always foggy in London............

I was in the Post office with a Polish friend here in the UK and he was sending a postcard to his family and the confused woman behind the counter shouted to her boss........'Is Poland in Europe?'

Once my friend was in UK and someone asked him to translate something for some Russian guy and when he said that he doesn't know Russian, reaction was like "So you don't have the same language in Poland?".

It's not exactly stupid, but tricky - "Is Polka a Polish dance"?

True, but in contrary to polka disco polo is actually a polish invention.

is Poland in European Union? or but you have microwaves over there?


when I was in NY, one guy asked me where I came from. I said, from Poland, and he looked very confused, so I asked him: do you know where it is?? and then I heard the most stupid answer ever:
- I'm not sure but I think it's an island near by Australia...

defenetly the most stupid thing about Poland, Ive ever heard

'Are all the telephones bugged?' was a good one.

'Can I get a direct flight or will I have to change at Moscow?' was another

There are no stupid questions. The only stupid question is the one not asked.

I think that some people think that Polish people still have wait in line for food and that you only wear grey clothes....it makes me laugh, but these are the kind of people who have never been out of the country in their lives.

I'm one of the few English people that has had the privilege of visiting Poland, here's a few classics I've been asked by my friends:

"Do they have electricity in Poland?"

"Is it safe to walk the streets in Poland?"

"Does anybody speak English?"

"Are the girls after passports?"
