Hi, thx for your message, I hope you will like your stay in the city it has a lot to offer. Regarding this history I bought a book about the jewish ghetto and found some maps when googling on it that I used to navigate myself, but in general close to the st. Marys assumptions church you find a lot of the material that I covered and it is in this area the former ghetto used to be. On this link you should find a pretty accurate picture of where the ghetto was and were you can find these streets: www.lodz-ghetto.com Hope this helps. Merry Xmas from Finland

@@jendagesse9592 yep, I have never seen anything like it, except those houses that are not still standing. Lodz is full of these places

Thx for your reply, yeah I have seen some videos about how it looks in some parts of Vancouver right now with the drug epidemic or what I should call it and the homeless situation. It is scary to watch what is happening. I hope they find some sustainable solution soon. Our society needs a big mirror

@@talkingsociety5560 I agree. We definitely do need a big mirror. I think the reflection would be VERY undesirable for many.

Hi, thanks for your reply. Yes, it is a bit of a shock, the contrasts are so strong when you come to piotrkowska street and compare it to the run down areas, which are basically everywhere. It is like entering a new world. I have been to the city a couple of times and am so surprised how much there is to learn about this diverse history that has happened here. It is mind blowing and pretty hard to digest.. I hope things are getting better soon.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I appreciate the honesty. I believe you and yes the city has a lot to offer. Regarding the fear, it is probably as you say, completely unfounded, as I tried to hint with the confirmation bias. I will take this to heart and do a better job next time covering the problems. It could have been more deep investigative journalism type of style but yeah I settled on this kind of of style this time to try to bring awareness about certain issues as I saw and understood them. Well, regarding clicks I wasn't expecting even to have this much views as the video even had during this short time, I simply wanted to make a good video and to be truthful, although I understand that there is a bit of a paradox with that with adding music, but it seems like in these days if you don't add a little bit emotional spark (like in movies and in documentaries you see on TV) people don't find it so interesting. I thought I am probably too boring to listen to so maybe I need to do as "all the other" filmmakers and add some music so they will keep listening to what I have to say. Well anyhow, I know how this can seem childish in a way (on behalf of me), but of course I want people to see the videos, but integrity and truth is of course of the uttermost essence (should always be the most important thing). But probably I can make a good video without music too. I guess am experimenting my way forward to find the best option. Anyhow, appreciate your feedback, it is very important. Thanks again

One thing came to my attention about what you said about homelessness, that they have chosen this out of free will,even though there is some "help" to get. Have they chosen this out of their own free will? What is free will? Does free will exist?

@@talkingsociety5560 Appreciate the reply. Just wanted to say that it's not so bad having lived here for quite a few years, but at the end of the day it's your video. As for the free will aspect: let's not get philosophical. All I mean is that if they want help, there are people and organizations in the city willing to offer it, as long as they're willing to kick destructive habits like alcoholism.

@@piotrkoodziej4336 Thanks for your message. I understand, it is a beautiful and interesting city, and I feel lucky to have experienced some part of my life in it. Yes there is a lot of people trying to help, am sure of it. And yeah I believe too many would be able to kick their destructive habits if they accepted the help (although statistics regarding trying to measure rehabs effectiveness and so on are at times questionable). It is very beautiful various people try to help in their manner of possibility. I appreciate your feedback. Hope I will come back to the city some of these days. Merry Xmas from Finland

Hi, thx for your reply, I appreciate you taking the time to give thorough information. Yes I have studied a little bit of the history, most probably not enough but I am very fascinated into the development of Lodz, the emerging textile industry and how Lodz became a big city from being only a small village in less than 100 years and so on. I have been to Lodz a couple of times before and I always learn something new. I didn't really come to Lodz in terms of tourism, but that is another topic. Will watch and read that what you sent to learn more. Thanks for that. I have read some book about the history of Lodz and found the Jews of Lodz and the Poznaski Family very good. I like to think I know a great deal of the history in the city compared to many but I wouldn't call myself an expert, and obviously there are many that know much more than me, as you concluded. Is there a person without an agenda in this world I would love to meet that person. I try to show a mirror and bring awareness about certain issues. No one pays me to do this, I don't get any money for doing this, and god knows if I ever will get some money doing it. And I am not hired by anyone to do this either. And I don't work for any company or any organization for that matter. I just did that what I felt was an obligation to my conscious. If it is right or not, I have no idea. But in the future I will try to do better research, and I believe you that most probably a lot of progress has been done in certain areas. I appreciate your feedback, it is always good to know what I can improve and what people think. I am thankful for that. I am experimenting my way forward and will try to improve every time I make something new. There is a lot to learn on my part

Thx for your reply. Yeah it is unreal to see what people are capable of. I think I have been in a lot of cities but Lodz is truly something else. So much history there, I am surprised how much you can learn about the human condition just by studying what is going on here and what has been taken place in the past. Hope things change to the better soon.

Yeah it is sad to see

Cool. Part of my family is home from Vaasa too :)

Thanks 😊

Thank you. I think it is this maybe you mean, Check out Our sad regrets by Cobby Costa.

@@jesshitchins9957 Hi, Oh good question, I honestly don't remember the name of the company, I just went spontaneous and got that what looked nice. There are not many other huts on the beach in White Sand Beach If I Remember correctly, so maybe you will find it online or just go to the place and order it on place. Sorry I couldnt give a closer answer

Good question, maybe just google IT companies and apply straight to them, that is what I would do

Everything 🎉

@@sampabwe6611 Good one 😉

Nice to see my colleagues also in the video, will recommend the video to all my friends

@@sampabwe6611 Cool, if you want more history I have something interesting for you. I just made a film about Maiden Dances, the old stone labyrinths in the forest and Bronze Age graves from Finland, from Närpes. Here is the documentary: ua-cam.com/video/WsMAMEtx6Xc/v-deo.htmlsi=H_BEUkTmItdDw7Yc

Thank you, so glad you liked it :)

I will admit this one is one of my favorites, it was such a cool trip too. It is the movie of Art and Symbolism in Lodz: : ua-cam.com/video/18RKUe555sU/v-deo.htmlsi=X3Ha1ThzRiAqDnTD

Hi, Thanks, oh interesting that you found out about your relatives. There is even a monument in Ilmajoki dedicated to Jaakko Ilkka, the leader for the uprising. Maybe I will do a separate video about this, don't know, let's see. Anyhow, cool you liked the video. The castle is pretty spectacular I must say, worth visiting. Part 2 of Turku will come soon...

Ja man kan nog säga att Närpes är speciellt på sina olika vis 😊

Hello sir great to hear from you. I remember you :) It is on the way, I haven't yet made it, but I think it will come within some week the episode of Turku, it will be an interesting video :) had a great day in luostarinmäki, thx for that.. I will try to make the video as soon as possible. Hope you are good over there. Cool to see you tuned in

@@talkingsociety5560 keep up the good work^^ great to hear

Hi, The video from Luostarinmäki is now out, here it is by the way :) ua-cam.com/video/rhw0Ahy-CW0/v-deo.htmlsi=WCDE7Z75vYwviWty Hope you like it

Brilliant :)

@@sampabwe6611 Yeah I think it turned out pretty good

Dziękuję :) I will :)

Tack 😊 Roligt du tyckte om den. Hoppas du har en fin dag

Hi, Thanks for sharing. It is very tragic indeed. There are so many stories that are still untold and I hope just by creating a little bit of awareness of this, maybe the world can remain a bit safer and learn from the past. Even though it sometimes doesn't look like it, I think we will get there in the end and will have lasting peace in the world

Hello, it was filmed last year 2023. It is a beautiful city, let me know if there is something you wonder about, maybe I can give you some tips where to go and so on If u are wondering to travel there, If u havent already been there that is

Jo se voi olla että olet oikea :) On paljon semmoista meri vesi täällä :)

Thanks for your reply. Yes you are right we need a new political system that can handle this new reality we are in. There is too much inefficiencies domestically and globally that it is such a pity things are just continuing. Read that there is over 300 000 homeless in France last year. That is a lot of poverty in a "successful nation" which I think can highlight a bit about the problem we see in our world, even though we should have money to eliminate much of this suffering and lack of housing and food etcetera. I think the world is starting to wake up. I have hope

Thanks for sharing. Everyone is beautiful and talented in their own ways. I think that whole search for meaning stuff is very individual and yeah it can be hard to find what you are interested in sometimes, but I think to be unemployed is also a great opportunity to find that what really is your calling. And then you of course you kind of have to follow your dream I guess. Maybe it is like the heroes journey each and everyone needs to figure out for themselves, regardless of what the society is doing. But indeed some environments can sometimes be more beneficial than other's depending on what you want to do. There is so many possibilities if one starts to look a little bit on the surface of the world.

Thank you :) Am optimistic 😊

Hi, Thx for your answer. Am answering late, I didn't see your response until now. That sounds really alarming. Our form or notion of "democracy" it not really doing a good job to keep away, how should I sugar coat it..behaviours that are not in the best interest for the collective self interest (meaning, for the people). Sometimes I really wonder what people are thinking, maybe some are not really aware of what they are doing and sometimes I think they just don't care and think solely about themselves and thus turn to abuse of power in its multitude of forms it can take..There is a couple of alternative scenarios regarding the psychology at play here. This is just my opinion but I think we should have a new political system where there is no personality cult and no form of this kind of drama politics (drama politics can be seen as a waste of collective resources, it is like stealing) ..but instead having a sustainable way to actually get things done, and be driven by facts or let's put it, science instead of ideologies and emotions (of course someone can probably argue science can be that too but..). I think it really shouldn't be so hard to make a system like this viable, where people actually will have insight into what is going on and what should be the right decision to take. The design of todays political systems in the west is not working, or maybe it is just me who is wrong. I think we are seeing an evolution that will have to happen if we are going to survive as a species and as a planet, and we need this system fast. In fact I don't think party politics is really needed at all. I mean as I understand it most of the people who are elected anyways into our governments and parliaments are not either qualified for the work they doing or are supposed to do be doing. If I am not mistaken in our so called current state of the democracy here in Finland and probably in the rest of the west, you don't have to have any "qualifications" in order to get elected or voted in to parliament say, except that you need to convince enough people to vote on you and belong to a party. You don't need to have professional experience of economics, law, medicine and so on... Yeah I guess this is one of the flaws with democracy, you can end up with people who are not competent but whom act as they are doing competent things. I just think it is plainly obvious how this will turn out, and I guess that is what we are seeing now on a global scale with "democracy"... a mess Another thing many voters here in my "home country" are wondering about is "what the heck are these politicians really doing". People can't really figure out what is going on. .It seems like most citizens here don't really have any idea of what they are doing, except the few times something is being told in the news. Which they also control here too for a larger part. One of the biggest TV channels (Yle) here in Finland, is a stately owned organization, and many folks are getting their news from this media or their news magazine outlet. I guess there might be a bit of a conflict of interest going on here, or how should I put it, regards to the credibility of this outlet. Interestingly enough a lot of people I have talked to don't seem to question this at all that there might be anything wrong with the information coming from a "state owned news organization" or that there might be any bias here.. I guess as someone could say "it is complicated"...

Thanks for your reply. Yes it can be quite a difficult and sensitive topic this indeed, but I think it is going to get better. People adapt. Well I think it is important that more and more people start to talk about all these things we were addressing in the video. I think the society will then have a chance then to progress in a more opener fashion. I also kind of start to think of all the skilled talents worldwide that nobody are seeing for what they are or what they have to contribute. But I guess it is also up to us, each and everyone to make the best of the situation we are in so we can live a sustainable healthy life.

Hej, tyvärr det vet jag inte, men kanske det finns några publika kataloger man kan kolla i. Förr fanns det ju telefonkataloger men vet inte riktigt vad de finns idag på den fronten som kunde ge svar. Kanske ni kunde fråga av någon i stadens tjänst exempelvis om de kan ge ut sådan info. Hoppas detta hjälpte lite

@@talkingsociety5560 Ok tack

Thanks ❤

Hi, Thx for your answer, am answering late, it totally flew under the radar. Yeah it is beautiful there. Well I thought it was not so much happening during night in Lonely Beach to be honest, was pretty slow. But that is just my opinion. I think it had been hit really hard, and there was many shops that looked to have foreclosed since then. And according to some locals it hadn't really catched on yet to the previous levels of tourists. I am not sure about the Songthaews during night though, but at least during day it was no problem. They go really frequent. Hope you go back to Thailand, it is such a nice place.

@@talkingsociety5560 Thanks for the late answer, and no worries of not responding. I did end up going to Koh Chang for 8 days, and it was really nice. Lonely Beach was very quiet, and ended up going to Kai Bae for evenings/nightlife. Definitely will go back next year. I went back to Thailand again in June for a month, and it was great.

@@abc_0_10_11 Wow that sounds awesome, now I want to go to :) I think I remember a little bit of Kai Bae, they had some really nice bar / restaurant there right on the beach if am not mistaken, but again that is pretty much all of the Koh Chang island :) but they are very different all these small, towns on Koh chang or what we should call them.. pretty interesting stuff

Thank you :) nice plan, I hope u will make it there one day, it is pretty cool. There is also another island that looks interesting, Ko Pha Ngan, but I haven't been there. I must say am thinking about going there :) Good luck and enjoy your future trip if u decide to go
