If someone was walking around one of the major cities in Poland, and you didn't hear the person say anything (so, no language clues), what would make you think the person was a tourist? Yeah, I know a camera might me an obvious clue. I'm just asking because when I was in Krakow, I must have looked like a local because people asked me in Polish (without an American accent) for information/directions on several occasions and the panhandlers didn't approach me very often, although I could see them approaching other people.

sunbreak: I must have looked like a local because people asked me in Polish Maybe you are Polish or at least Polish origin.

"...because when I was in Krakow, I must have looked like a local because people asked me in Polish (without an American accent) for information/directions on several occasions..." WHAT?! People in Kraków speak Polish? ...and they don't even have an American accent? Wow, that's shocking! Reread your own story...

guesswho: I basically said the same but I was trying to be a little nicer :-). Well, it's an obvious troll. I found it so amusing that Krakowiaks (is that a word?) do not have an American accent; i mean how dare they! LOL
