“Planning to hit [event] at [venue]. Join me?”
Safe meetup ideas: public cafés/bars, early evening gatherings in central spots.
Group activities: board-game nights, karaoke, running clubs, creative workshops (cooking, photography).
🌍 5. EXPAT TIPS

Budget guide: club cover 20–50 PLN; drinks 15–25 PLN (clubs), 25–40 PLN (cocktail bars); coffee 8–15 PLN; meals 25–60 PLN.
Survival Polish: “Dzień dobry” (hello), “Cześć” (hi), “Dziękuję” (thank you), “Przepraszam” (excuse me), “Ile to kosztuje?” (how much?), “Gdzie jest…?” (where is…?).
Orientation basics: Old Town = tourist hub & higher prices; uni districts = lively & cheap; public transport reliable; cards widely accepted. Poland is generally safe and locals warm up quickly.
