Okay so I was born and brought up here, and still live in the state, but it is an alien place. People stop and stare at you, gaggle of kids follow you around when you go to villages, people have to be almost hit on the head to realise that a woman can have a brain and responses....
Okay, it is not *as* bad as I am making it sound right now but it still feels more alien than the other polaces I've been to - UK, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Bulgaria etc. Oh, South Korea is pretty weird too - people are all polite, the streets are incredibly clean, and their train time-tables are written out to the seconds. And the trains are actually always on time, down the seconds!
