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.
But then again, in Southeast Asia, we need passports to travel even within the
region anyway, so we're used to it. :P

Oh Frederico, that is only for European citizens, my ID isn't valid in Europe.
;)
But then, I can travel almost all South America without a passport, while you
need to carry yours here. ;)

Well, you don't even need the passport if you're flying within Europe. It's
hard to get used to <s>barbaric</s> foreign habits but after all we've survived
Israel...
