To corroborate what Beria said: I needed to carry my
passport with me
while traveling around Europe (except within Poland, where I carried my
[national] student ID). And since I was advised not to get a residence
permit (stay of less than one year, that's why), it was sometimes
hasslesome to convince people that I was staying in Poland. This most
notably happened, for Nemo's sake, in Italy, where I was detained at
Fiumicino for around 10-15 minutes while immigration personnel tried to
"clarify" my status.
Well of corse, this discrimination of non-Europeans can't be eliminated
now. :-p And since this is the new track of the thread, I can add that
even for us things can get problematic if you forget the ID in the room
before leaving for the airport as I did in Poland. :D
