[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a lot of scam artists in Warsaw.  But it is nothing compared to many third world countries in the Middle East, North Africa, South Asia, or even other countries in the EU like Romania, Bulgaria, and parts of Italy and France.  We won't talk about Russia.

As for taxi drivers, I always called a cab using one of the services.  Never use one of the unofficial airport taxis.  If you get into any taxi and don't see the ID certificate with the driver's picture and name, get out.  The scam drivers always have it covered up.

I have worked extensively in these two, and Romania is nothing like Poland.  I've found Poland to be much closer to the way OP describes it.  Never a problem in Romania.  FWIW, I'm American now, but also a dual German citizen (and speak more than just German and English).  I do not enjoy working in Poland or with the Poles.  YMMV.[/quote]

Not at all surprising coming from you, German. Yesterday was the 80th Anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising, which saw the mass slaughter of 200,000 of our civilians by the Nazi Germans and the systematic deportation of the survivors and total destruction of Warsaw. And that’s on top of the millions of additional Poles
(including Polish Jews) that you mercilessly slaughtered. So suffice it to say that we don’t trust you either!![/quote]

^^PS, let’s also not forget the official governmental Romanian collaboration with the Nazi Germans, so it’s no wonder you feel more at home there!![/quote]

Two previous posters certainly taking it to a whole new level for nastiness on a travel forum. I shouldn’t be surprised but I am. [/quote]

Why should you be?  If you’re the German PP, you sort of started it.  [/quote]

Not German PP. Are you 5 years old? You started it - wahhh![/quote]

Nope.  I’m just married to a Pole.  If you spend any time in the country, you’ll find endless trauma and sites of mass death.  It gets absolutely exhausting just taking in the vast amount of tragedy.  Hearing a German defame Poland is offensive to me.  [/quote]

Nazi Germany did terrible things in many countries in the 1940s and it’s fine to feel empathy. You don’t need to sympathise with OP’s gripes. But who are you to point fingers at people NOW for something that happened 80 years ago in a different part of the world before either they or you were born?

Are you serious?  I guess your “apologise” is the key needed to identify your nationality.  Can’t imagine why you’d want all those pesky colonials to move on.  The cheek.  [/quote]
