<div id="ygrps-yiv-1225551691"><blockquote><span title="ireply">&gt; I didn&#39;t know Poles and Czechs hated each other so much. I know about<br/>
&gt; Poles and East Germans though. Back in 1989 I crossed from Forst (then<br/>
&gt; DDR; the wall was still up.) into Zalewski, Poland. (I don&#39;t remember<br/>
&gt; the exact spelling - sorry!) The East German train terminated in Forst<br/>
&gt; and a Polish train connected there. East Germans could not travel into<br/>
&gt; Poland at that time.<br/>
&gt; Anyway, nobody in the station or the town wanted to give me directions.<br/>
&gt; They all acted stupid as if they had no idea where the train came in.<br/>
&gt; They simply refused to help. Even the station personnel. Finally I asked<br/>
&gt; the superintendent at the station and he told me where to go. I guess he<br/>
&gt; was a party member. Plus the locals were really paranoid. And I speak<br/>
&gt; fluent German so that wasn&#39;t the problem.<br/>
&gt; The Poles seemed to have no such hangups though and were very friendly.<br/>
&gt; Then again, they could travel anywhere they wanted to.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; Just an experience I thought worth relating.<br/>

Hmm<br/>
City on polish side is called Zasieki (translation: entanglement, really), but pol-cze conflict I&#39;m not sure...<br/>
I travelled Cz wide (I was there more than 30 times) and everybody was friendly. Maybe not everybody, but majority.
