¿? What to know,
Before you go ¿?
LANGUAGE & POPULATION
The prominent language in Warsaw Poland is Polish.
Neighboring nations such as Ukraine, Czech Republic,
Slovakia, Belarus, and Germany may also have an impact
on the languages present in Warsaw. The population of
Poland is 38,626,349 people and a majority of 36,600,000
people are Polish speaking. Other languages represented
are German (500,000), Belarusian (220,000), Ukrainian
(150,000), Greek (114,000), Silesian (60,000), Russian
(60,000), Slovak (38,000), Romani (35,000), Lithuanian
(30,000), Czech (5,840), and Kashubian (3,000).
WEATHER & CLIMATE
Warsaw has been known to get sunny weather or even
possible snowfall all the way into April depending on what
the winter has been like. There may be considerable rainfall
into the summer months, but mostly summers are known to
be extremely hot.
GOVERNMENT & CURRENCY
Poland has a Republic government: where all of the state
ofﬁcials are elected by the people and the head of state is
not a monarch.
Poland’s currency is the Polish Zloty:
• 1 USD = 3.12886 PLN
• 1 PNL = 0.319605 USD
BRIEF HISTORY OF POLAND
In the mid-18th century, Poland was a much larger nation that included parts of what
now are Lithuania, Ukraine, Belarus, and Germany. During the late-18th century, the
KingdomofPolandwasdividedintothreeseparateterritoriescalledthe“partitions”of
Poland between Germany, Russia, and Austria. Then during Napoléon Bonaparte’s
prevail of Central Europe, Poland was reestablished as the Duchy of Warsaw. After
Napoléon’s fall, Russia took control of most of the Duchy of Warsaw, while the
remainder still resided with Germany and Austria. During the 19th century, there
were many failed attempts by the people of Poland to gain their independence from
these governing nations. The First World War was not a prosperous event for the
nations that held the partitions of Poland and from there the independent Republic
of Poland was reconstructed. In the beginning of the Second World War, Poland
was invaded by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. The Nazi’s and Soviets
exterminated a large majority of the Jews and several Catholics within Poland,
while others were sent to concentration camps. At the end of WWII, the boundaries
of Poland were restored conceding a third of the area to the Soviets. Many of the
minorities within Poland emigrated away after the new boundaries were established
and that is why the ethnic population of Poland today is mostly homogeneous.
RECENT EVENTS IN WARSAW
• Festival of Chamber Operas (09/12/2012 – 03/28/2012)
An annual tradition in Warsaw.
• Laboratory of the Future: Regress Progress (06/21/2012 – 01/15/2012)

MEDICAL CONCERNS
• Emergency services are generally not comparable
to United States services. Some doctors may speak
English, but nurses usually do not.
• Travelers need to check with their medical insurance
company to make sure they will be covered overseas.
In many Polish hospitals they still expect payment in
cash for their services.
• According to the U.S. Department of State: “You
can find information on vaccinations and other health
precautions on the CDC website. For information
about outbreaks of infectious diseases abroad, consult
the World Health Organization (WHO) web site.
The WHO web site also contains additional health
information for travelers, including detailed country-
specific health information.”

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS IN POLAND
• The rate of crime is considered low overall in Poland, but street crime
(especially in major cities) is considered moderate. There are recognized,
prepared thieves and pick-pockets that like to operate where there are large
groups of tourists.
• All tourists are required to carry their passports with them incase Polish
police ask you to identify yourself; therefore keeping your passport safe
is a top priority. Keep a copy of your passport and all important official
documents in a safe place, this can make the process of applying for a new
passport in the event that yours is misplaced or stolen a lot easier.
• Tourists should be cautious about people who signal for you to pull over
or that something is wrong with your vehicle, because highway robbery is
an issue. Some thieves may rob vehicles that are still in motion if they have
the opportunity so people should leave windows up, doors locked, and any
valuable items out of sight while driving.
• Asian or African Americans have reported being verbally harassed or
confronted while visiting Poland.
• Only exchange money at banks or commercial ATMs, because people who
offer to exchange money on the streets is definitely a deception.
• Tourists should withstand from purchasing counterfeit or pirated items
because it is illegal to bring these items into the United States and may also
be illegal at the point of purchase based on Polish laws.

- According to Kwintessential ; a global ,
cross cultural , multilingual business
service provider -
GIFT GIVING ETIQUETTE
General gift giving guidelines:
• Do not give gifts that are overly expensive;
this may embarrass the recipient.
• Employees bring cake and champagne to
the office to celebrate their name day.
• At Christmas, it is common to give small
gifts to service workers such as postal
workers, refuse collectors, etc.
• If invited to a Pole’s home for dinner, bring
wine, flowers, pastries or sweets for the
hostess.
• Give an odd numbers of flowers.
• Do not give yellow chrysanthemums as
they are used for funerals. Do not give red
or white flowers, especially carnations and
lilies.
• Gifts are generally opened when received.
DINING ETIQUETTE
If invited to someone’s home:
• Be punctual.
• May be expected to take off your shoes.
(Check to see if your host is wearing
slippers)
• Dress conservatively.
• Offer to help the hostess with the
preparation or clearing up after a meal
is served. This is good manners. This will
more often than not be turned down out of
politeness.
• Do not ask for a tour of the house.
• Table manners are Continental, i.e. hold
the fork in the left hand and the knife in the
right while eating.
• Wait for the hostess to invite you to start
eating.
• Most meals are served family-style.
• Take small amounts of food initially so you
can accept second helpings.
• Try a bit of everything.
• Expect frequent toasting throughout the
meal. The host offers the first toast.
• Toasts are only made with hard liquor
(generally vodka).
• You should reciprocate with your own
toast later in the meal.
• Alcohol is served in small glasses so you
can swallow in one gulp.

MEETING & GREETING
General tips include:
• Shake hands with everyone upon arriving
and leaving.
• Handshakes are quite firm and eye
contact is valued.
• Wait for a woman to extend her hand.
• Some older businessmen may kiss a
woman’s hand upon meeting. Do not
imitate this behaviour as provication.
• Titles are considered prestigious.
Academic or professional titles are used
with the honorific titles with or without the
surname.
• Wait to be invited before moving to first
names. You may do business with people
for years and not be on a first name basis.
• Business cards are exchanged without
formal rituals.
• Try and have one side of your card
translated into Polish.
• Include advanced university degrees and
titles on your business card; qualifications
are impressive.
COMMUNICATION
• Generally speaking, Poles judge others
by their personal qualities. They therefore
like to spend time getting to know people
as individuals.
• Honesty is highly valued in Poland
since trust is the cornerstone of
business relationships. Building personal
relationships is essential for successful
business dealings, especially if you
are looking for a long-term business
relationship.
• Poles are known for being direct
communicators. However they are also
very sensitive to other’s feelings and let
that determine how and what they say.
• The level of the relationship mostly
determines how direct someone can be.
• For newly established and more formal
relationships, a great deal of emphasis is
placed on diplomacy. Once a relationship
has passed through the initial phases,
people feel more comfortable speaking
frankly with each other and animated
exchanges become more common.
BUSINESS MEETINGS
• The most senior Pole generally opens the
meeting and sets the groundwork for what
is to be discussed. They may also verbally
offer a recommended agenda for the
discussions.
• The first few meetings may in fact seem
to be more small talk than business
discussions. If this is the case it means
that your Polish colleagues are still sizing
you up and havn’t made up their minds.
• Meetings tend to be relatively relaxed
once the personal relationship has been
established.
• Hard facts are important so participants
come well-prepared with facts and figures
to back up their statements. Foreigners
would be expected to do the same.
• Business decision-making processes tend
to have a hierarchical basis, and therefore
many decisions will be taken at the top
of the company.
• Final decisions are translated into rigorous
action steps that you can expect will be
carried out to the letter.
