OR you were just there and they were Poles. I'm from that area and the way people stare at you intently for no reason affects even me. It can totally give you an impression that you're doing something/looking the wrong way at any moment. My mother's been living in a different country for a decade now, and it seriously pisses her off when she visits. I imagine it must be troubling for many foreign visitors. Admittedly, it appears to be less of an issue in Warsaw.
Seriously I am Canadian of British/Irish descent. The only place I've ever felt 'exotic' was Germany. Like an animal at the zoo or was interesting. I chose to take it as a compliment.

I was just sitting in Krakow with my girlfriend and like 20 people were just staring at us like we was sitting where we shouldn't be sitting.
