It is always good to understand certain aspects of country’s culture and customs
before going there. You will avoid being surprized or embarassed in that way.
Here are the most interesting Polish customs which is good to be familiar with:
Curious people Polish people are very curious towards international visitors.
They are very much interested in different cultures, however if you only look
back – nothing has happened 😉 Shaking hands It is very Polish to shake hands
when you introduce yourself. YOu do it always with your right, bare hand. It is
considered impolite if you do it in a glove. Keeping an eye contact When
speaking to someone, keep an eye contact for most of the time. It is not
necessary to keep it all the time. If you do not, you might not get what you
want. Personal questions It is quite common in Poland to be asked questions
which are often considered as private. As Poles are curious people, they like to
get into little details, so do not forget to be assertive. Meal schedule Food in
Poland is often fat and served with meat. Soups are very popular and offer a
great variety of types & tastes. Typically in Poland people eat 3 times a day.
Bruderszaft It is a fraternal toast, after which Polish people start to address
each other with first names, and declining it can be seen as an insult.
Relationships become more cordial after this little ceremony. Bruderszaft is two
people raising toasts simultaneously with arms interlocked and drinking. The
last part is an exchange of kisses and a handshake.
