Im coming to Poznan 31 August 03. I am an American guy and want to know if there is a Blue note jazz club there. Also is it true there are alot of racist skinheads, nazis etc in Poznan? I find it hard to believe this!!! Please let me know. Also if anyone wants to meet up for a drink or dinner. Couples or anyone just wanting to meet up with a black american guy from California please let me know. I would love to meet new people while on business there. email me christerry@Virtualtours.com

there are quite a few racist skinhead groups in poland. obviously, we're not proud of that fact. no one will bother you as long as you use your travelling common sense. don't walk around in deserted areas at night. if you do have to get home from somewhere and it is late, call a taxi and have them pick you up. it's always better to be on the safe side, so you don't have any unpleasant experiences. there is a lot of mafia and gangs in poland too, and they like to rob people who look like they might have money. you especially should be on your toes since you're easy to pick out as a foreigner based on the color of your skin. aside from that, i think you will have a wonderful time as long as you're aware of your surroundings.
