So my sister is getting married to this Polish fella which means I'm going to the wedding in Poland. I'm going to be travelling with my parents and brother, we'll spend one week in England (where my sister and her fiance live), one week in Poland and another week in England. I'm Australian and have never been off this Continent before so I'll need all the advice I can get. Also I can't speak very much polish at all, basically "yes" "no" and "more drink please", however my mum can speak slightly better and my sister is fairly fluent.
So what wisdom does /trv/ have for a first time, Australian traveler traveling to England and Poland?

All rigt...i live in Lodz, that means Boat :P polish wedding's are full of Vodka, polish guys drink so fucking much, thath even hardest heads are going down:P if you know what i mean...i dont know how english,or australian weddings, looks, but polish weedings are just....drink and eat much, dance to the weird music, and....i dunno, try to survive ;P

About warsaw, well, they are trying to look like big city in west, but. i think that's too hard for them....they gonna need, 30 years i think to catch up to city like even berlin... it's not so bad, but you really feel , that in this city Hitler and Stalin do what they can, if you know what i mean.....do you have any questions about poland and poland guys, and habits and even what type of polish vodka is the best???:D Ask:)

Yeah I've seen a video of a Polish wedding and they look like great fun. Will people think I'm rude for not knowing any Polish? I heard that can be a bit of a problem in France. Do you know of any cool cheapish Polish things I could buy for myself? Or any gifts for the girlfriend back home? Where would I buy them? I was thinking a trench coat or ushanka or something along those lines (for myself). This will sound stupid but Poland uses Euro's doesn't it?

Nope, Poland have it's own currency (Z?oty), but in most of the bigger shops or gas stations you can pay in Euro.

Not knowing Polish isn't considered as rude here, relax. ;)

for "polish things" all you need to do is find a store called "cepelia". everything in the store is handmade by actual folk craftsmen. there's one right across the street from the novotel hotel (big silver building on the southeast corner of the palace of culture and science complex in the city center. the palace of culture and science looks kind of like a "fat ben"--that is like big ben but fat--ever since they added the giant clock a few years ago. it's pretty much our national monument so it's kind of hard to miss.

right. only large department stores/malls/supermarkets accept euros.

Thanks for all the advice on Poland people, i'll try to exchange my Aussie dollars for Z?oty because it's stronger against that than the Euro.
Does anyone have any advice for my time in England?
