The only safety advice I have is don't get a Pole pregnant! You'll find yourself at 40 getting drunk with her dad over Slivovitz and answering questions like "do tomatoes grow in Africa?"
Could you elaborate? You sound like you have some experience here...
I have cousins who went to study in Europe back in the day and almost all of them got a local lizzie pregnant.
Their in laws are fuckin hilarious. They simply don't have exposure to blacks and black culture, so they ask funny questions (ignorant if it was someone who actually has exposure like Western Euros and continental Americans). Questions like do you grow tomatoes in Africa? Under communism lots of people grew their own veggies in their gardens in the villages due to chronic shortages of certain goods.
They ask because under a subconscious level we humans still try to relate to each other.
"Why do you do the drum thing?"
"Do you drink slivovitz/rakia/?" or whatever other local moonshine the locals cook up in their backyards.
But they're cool fellows though.
I was there long ago though, when Europe's economies were still booming and it was all love. I'm not sure how it has been in the last few years since shit got all fucked up. Lot of disgruntled youth got hate because they feel globalization has failed them and foreigners are a representation of globalization.
