I wish I had known...
I didn't know that much about poland before my stay there but it was not a problem. Maybe to know some polish it would help in the begining.

Final comments
Visit Gdansk in the north - very beautiful in the spring/summer. Take warm clothes and enjoy skying and snwoboarding. Visit places around, such as slovakian mountains, prague, etc. Be careful with the thieves in the street, and be careful with the taxi prices, taxi drivers usually ask too much money to foreigners.
