Bring plenty of warm clothing and leave your bling at home. The polish people i have met have been very friendly and polite but on a bad day you can get robbed.

What part?  I've never been myself but I've been told that Warsaw is beautiful.

Is there anyone left in Poland apart from the old and the infirm? Everyone else seems to have moved to the UK.

haven't been there yet, but if I were you I'd avoid their cyclo clubs like the plague.

Hey,

I'm still in Warsaw (i mean working abroad about 50% time but still more or less live in Poland) :)

If you want to visit a nice place, go to Cracow!
warsaw is just a business city with not that many nice places. Of course if you are intrested in pubs/clubs ect, Warsaw is a good choice as well.

Let me know if oyu need more details on something :)

Cheers,

Never been there but I heard a plane crashed in a cemetary there a while back

During the recovery efforts they say so far they've found the remains of almost 2,000 people ;)

I was in Lotz, - dull but ok, (very cheap), then Warshaw (more expensive, but worth a visit) Auschwitz/Birkenau (Shocking), the Krakow. Krakow is really really nice :aok
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

I've never been there, but have many friends who come from Krakow...  The pictures are really cool.  Check out the salt mines.

Also the girls are cute.  You'll enjoy yourself.  But don't be suprised if you bump into a bunch of people nostalgic for Communism, strange as it might seem to us.
