Answer 1

Don't worry about the language almost everybody speaks english now (especially if they are younger).

Contact your consulate in Krakow - they will be the best one to tell you where you can find those types of stores, but I don't believe they have many, if any.

You won't be lonely Polish people are very friendly.  Plus Krakow is so alive, plenty of little cafes, and night clubs and parties in the centrum "rynek".

Just have fun.

Plus Krakow in the summer is full of tourist, you might not even hear Polish in the streets.  Last time I was there was 3 years ago and I was surprised how many different languages I heard.  You probably will meat some poeple in your hotel that you can visit with, and the tour desk at the hotel will most likely be suggesting tours.

LOL

Baw sie dobrze!!!  (Basically that means enjoy & have fun)

Answer 2

non, nada, nothing.

btw - is there any catholic church in Kuwait? or shop where people can buy pork? or alcohol?

Answer 3

Finding an Arabic/Muslim store will be hard. There probably aren't many stores like that in Poland.

Answer 4

Poland has a very small percentage of Muslims. I think it would be very hard to find Muslim stores or Arabic stores. I would try just trying the Polish culture for a month and step outside your normal routine and about the language if you know  good English you will be fine (most menus and people speak english)

Krakow is a great city! Hope you enjoy it!
