About safety in Warsaw - I have heard many times from my friends who live abroad, that for example - they feel more save in Warsaw in middle of the night, that they would feel safe in London in the middle of the day. That really show you the level of safety in this city
no it doesn't, what it shows is unfair wealth distribution in London, where Grenfell Tower stands amongst most expensive buildings in the world..... where honest people, working full time have to rely on food banks to survive..... imagine destitute residents of Warsaw's Praga next to Pałac Kultury, would you feel safe amongst them?
Hi, Currently, the minimum wage in Poland is PLN 4,300 gross, which gives (after deducting income tax + mandatory social insurance + health insurance) PLN 3,262 net/person. In 2025, these amounts will increase to PLN 4,626 gross/ PLN 3,483.5 net, respectively. Fixed fees for 2 people are approx. PLN 500 (electricity approx. PLN 200, water + sewage approx. PLN 100 and heating approx. PLN 200) if you live at home. If you have to rent something, the costs increase by the rent. An apartment with 2 rooms with a bathroom, toilet and kitchenette (approx. 35 m2) for rent costs from PLN 1,000 to PLN 2,000 (in a large city relatively close to the center it costs PLN 1,400) You also need to know that people working up to the age of 26 are exempt from income tax (12% - 1st tax bracket and 32% - 2nd tax bracket) The second threshold starts with income exceeding PLN 120,000/year. The current EURO exchange rate is PLN 4.39.
Wow thank you so much for this information! We were very impressed with how it is possible to live well on a regular salary there, here in our country it is impossible, even in small cities, in fact small cities here are even more expensive, like a grocery shopping, and the rent is almost the same as a big city!
@@3rdworldpeoplereact In general, life in small towns is much cheaper than in large ones. The main difference comes from real estate prices. The downside is a smaller selection of jobs, services and entertainment. When it comes to shopping, it's definitely nice that chain stores (food, clothing, household appliances and industrial) have the same prices throughout the country, regardless of the size of the city they are located in.
Poland is not a paradise, no other country is. But yes, the level of security is high, it wasn't like that 30 years ago: we had gangs, shootings in the streets, bomb explosions as part of gangster feuds. It used to be dangerous in bad neighborhoods, but now even there you can feel quite calm. Just don't be pushy or too loud, be polite towards the local residents and that's it. The public health service is quite ok, but we complain about it because in the case of more difficult diseases it is not so easy to get hospital treatment, there is still work to be done for the government and officials. Public education is indeed decent and at a decent level, it is free, although in recent years not everyone liked the changes in it, so many parents, if they could afford it, transferred their children to private schools. It's not that expensive, middle-class people can afford it, even if it means some strain on their household budgets. The minimum wage in Poland, guaranteed by the government, will soon amount to approximately EUR 1,200. I am an employer and I offer really decent wages, but I don't have that many candidates for the offered jobs. In any case, if you want to work in Poland, you will not experience poverty. True, you may have to live modestly, but to starve yourself - you really have to try. Earnings depend on your diligence, skills and education. I am an employer with a higher education, managing a public institution, but I have the impression that an ordinary plumber does not earn that much less than me.

Thank you for sharing so much information with us. About violence, I think we should study the case of Poland better, because as you said there were problems, but now everything is fine. We see from the videos and comments from all of you that Poland does not have as high a level of inequality as in other countries like ours, this without a doubt helps a country to improve! Greetings from Brazil ❤️
Its something I m used to living in Poland that temperatures in woody areas or forests are a bit lower than in big cities, even the suburban areas with lots of greenery, parks, gardens and orchards are cooler than the big cities. Its like in hot summer we go to big city its 30 C but when we return home to our sleepy town full of orchards and gardens its 27 C and the distance is like 25 km from the centre of big city.
You are a lovely couple. I love how Portugeese sounds, but appreciate greatly English subtitles, otherwise i woddnt understad you. I have been many times to Portugal, but Brasilian Portugeese seems to sound different, but still use some sounds we hear in Polish. Gretings from Warsaw. One more: Polish airlines use Brasilain made jets Embraer, but I am pretty sure Brasilian airlines do not use any jets made in Poland. I think our countires are both very respectful, but developing ones still.
Its because wages are not best in Poland and it's easier for young people like me 22yo to go on to Netherlands for 2 months and earn 20k zł than 8-9k in Poland in the same time. Easy cash in short period of time and I can use it for next year of studying with small financial help from parents :)
I think a lot of Polish people commenting just can't appreciate what we have. It's not a paradise, by any means, I grew up in the 90's when the unemployment was quite high compared to now, only one parent working, couldn't afford any luxuries etc. But it's getting better. Even as a kid I was never walking around hungry or cold. Of course there are poor people here, wealthy as well, but now a lot of people are considered middle class, average income, no luxuries still, well, depending on what you count as a luxury, in some countries buying meat is a luxury, but the life is affordable. The fact that you can't afford to go abroad for vacation every year doesn't imply poverty. People in most cases can sustain themself, better or worse. Bigger cities have bigger salaries, more foreign people living around. Smaller cities will have lower living standards, just like any country. Compared to western countries when it comes to money of course it will be a bit "worse", but not "bad" by any means. We like foreigners in general, except for maybe some older generations and some specific communities, but it changes for better as well. Bigger cities is the way to go for if you wanna live here as a foreigner. If you're a foreigner you don't usually move into small towns anyway, even Poles don't do that unless they're wealthy and want their own house somewhere in the countryside. It's an OK country to live, relatively safe, I've lived here my whole life, never had to fear for it really. Just use common sense to not get in any trouble and you will be alright. Education is good for people who actually want to learn, you can get into public university if you want, but even private ones are not that awful to pay for if you're willing to put some effort into it, you can find a job working part time and be able to pay for it, many people's parents chip in as well to support their kids during education, because that's what parents usually do. I think that some of the comments may come from bad personal experiences, but overall it's alright living in here. Not great, not terrible, but you got a lot of opportunities and how you turn out depends on you.
About foreigners in Poland... the truth is that every one is welcomed here, as long as you obey the laws and customs. Of course in every country there stupid people that hate others for only colour of their skin, but in general in Poland if you a decent human being, you get decent treatment
A small correction. There is no tax funded public healthcare in Poland - only those who pay a special health insurance are allowed to be serviced by the "public" health system. As an example, i personally couldn't afford such an insurance for the past dozen years. Only recently i've managed to get insured. 2 mln people in Poland (out of 38 mln inhabitants) don't have a health insurance.
Polish public health insurance is a tax, it works like that. And it is an 'obligatorish' - it can be avoided basically only if you are kinda self-employed, working on a contract, etc. So it means that is obligatory for 90% of working people, like a tax.
@@FukaLata no, it is not a tax. it is obligatory only in the case of two forms of employment contracts (out of 3 forms available), nor is it charged proportionally to earnings. Until recently it was obligatory only in the case of one form of employment.
Wow, minimal wage od 260 euro? That hurts. I am very low skilled full time employee and still earn about 800-900 euro monthly (money i really get). Thats just a little over polish minimal wage. Country`s medium wage (calculated) is about 1200 euro (netto).
Not even when I earned relatively good money in a corporation - and that was definitely PAST my twenties - could I afford to rent an apartment (let alone buy one). When I was in my twenties (and I started a "serious" job when I was 25), the rent amounts were so exorbitant compared to my salary that living in a rented apartment seemed (and still does) more abstract than flying to Mars. Especially in Warsaw which is, and always has been, the most expensive city in Poland. To this day I have no clue how young people (by which I mean the age of 18 to 30) can afford to rent an apartment (let alone buy one), pay rent, furnish/refurbish/decorate/renovate the apartment, go for holidays (quite frequently abroad), buy a car (even a used one), get married (even a very modest wedding party costs gazillions), raise a child or children, and on top of that buy food, pay bills etc. etc. Sorry, perhaps my mind is very primitive and I am very stupid (or very blind) but I have no idea how all of this can be financially achieved from a salary of a person who is just starting in professional life. Granted, there are young people who successfully run their own business, and there are those who are talented and quickly climb up the corporate ladder, there are those who have very wealthy parents/relatives, and those who won in a lottery. But all those four groups of young people still do not and cannot account for just how many young people in general, even outside of one of those four groups, can afford all of that.
Majority of higher education is definetly not free, and public health care ... hmmm, i dont think that young lady tried public helath specialist ... i did : cardioligist - u must wait AT LEAST 6 months, neurologist 2 months xdxdxd Of course you can go to private clinic, pay (per visit or monthly subscription) and have it even the next day ... But overally, public health care is very poor - and i dont live in country or small town - i live in capital. Rent for flat is also very expensive (its mor less on minimum wage level - for avarge 50m2 flat, of course its depends on localiztion, but more less its like that). And overwelhming religion, that tries to controll everything is smt thats stopping much faster development here. But ovarall its ok to live, and for sure there are much worse places to live on this planet ;)
Taak, publiczna opieka zdrowotna historia z życia: 40-to latka, opadnięta połowa twarzy, bełkotliwa mowa. Niemcy; lekarz rodzinny: aha, skierowanie, termin na badania i do neurologa 4 tygodnie. Polska: wizyta na SOR-ze, TK, badania, konsultacja neurologa, 6 godzin i diagnoza i narzekanie "bo 6 godzin na SOR-ze". Ręce, nogi i cycki opadają. Wszędzie dobrze, gdzie nas nie ma.
Cherrypicking at its finest. The old town of Warsaw is really tiny and the rest of the city consists of ugly soviet-blocks just like most polish cities. Of course she didn’t show that 😂 and there are only around 10-ish relevant cities, the rest of the country is just rural flat land.
I wouldn't consider Poland first world, especially not because religion is still dominant even in politics. The LGBTQ isn't treated right there at all, wages are really low, and there's a lot of poverty outside the few big cities the country has. Are Polish people friendly? Well, a lot of my neighbors are Polish and they're hard working and friendly for sure. A lot if Polish people are moving here due to our higher wages and our shortage of available workers. Unfortunately, in the Netherlands we also have a housing shortage.
@@GregWr I just love when people bash someone's opinion without giving constructive criticism. Where does the imagination come in place? Maybe educate me.
@@deleila_charlie2068Polish villages and provinces are well-kept and wealthy, and people, especially young, return to Poland, mainly for safety reasons and development prospects. What you wrote was true 30 and maybe even 10 years ago but now it's in the past. Take care 🙂
@@GregWr Thank, you, I appreciate you telling me this. See, now I've learned something, I was going off the Polish workers who all migrated here and don't want to go back to Poland except for vacation. I hope the human rights have gotten better too?
I know it's a bit late to be renaming the channel and all, but you do realise Brazil is a second-world country, right? You're the B in BRICS. You're a developing country.
@@rozgniatacz_mend Osiołek wie co to ustawowa ale już 20 lat nie mieszka w Polsce dlatego napisałem że myślę że mniej niż 500 euro to nie będzie . Ps; ona podała netto.
@@marcelmarceli8238 w Polsce osoby do 26 roku życia nie płacą podatku od tak niskich przychodów. Pozostali nie płacą do wysokości przychodów 30000 zl ( ok 7000 eur). Nie ma znaczenia gdzie i jak długo nie mieszkasz lub mieszkasz. Internet jest wszędzie taki sam a to, że teraz rozmawiamy jest tego najlepszym dowodem, tym bardziej, że ja też nie piszę z Polski.
I know a lot of people that came from Poland and live in my country now. Those I know are really friendly and what I can see in all of them is this very warm way to interact and communicate. I like this so much, maybe because we don't do that here very often. This said- and please don't get mad at me - I cannot see Poland as a First World country. And this is not about economic standards alone. I think Poland did a really good job to develop the country after they suffered Russian suppression for so long. My point is more the society and how stable democracy is. Yes, you have free universities und healthcare but queer professors and doctors are not allowed there. They get instantly fired the very moment they are outed. There are even villages that declared themselves as non gay areas - which is totally rediculous. And the right of abortion is challenged. The judges are/were under control of the state as the TV-stations were. I hope so much it will (has already?) change under your new goverment now. Please, come back to the European family again. We need you so urgently in a time we are all challenged by MR. WEIRD in the Kremlin. I think the best way to defend our European values of freedom and dignity for all is to live this spirit ourselves in the first place.
your comment is ridiculous, a lot has changed in Poland. And this information about anti-gay places was a single case. And public opinion was shocked, so don't spread disinformation
@tacitusmannheim503 where did you take that bullshit from? according to who exactly queer professors and doctors are not allowed in Poland? No villages have declared themselves as "non gay areas" - they've declared they don't want LGBT ideology activists to indoctrinate children in primary schools in their respective areas. The judges are not under control of the state - they are the state (the third power) and the media were always free after 1989 (and still are). Besides, there is no free healthcare in Poland - if you don't pay a health insurance you don' get a treatment.
I'm very queer, as in visibly trans, and I feel safer here than I do in places like the Netherlands or the UK. And not just Gdańsk, I travel the length and width of Poland on a frequent basis, and I started my transition while living in Podhale. Generally, Poland culturally has a kind of "janteloven" - meaning "just do your thing and don't make a spectacle out of yourself" - just like the Scandinavian countries - and when it comes down to queer stuff, it basically just boils down to "just act normal" - your sex life isn't interesting for others, and if you make your identity your entire personality, people quickly get bored with you. I know quite a few LGBT people in very high positions in our local university, as well as in city council, and they're respected for their knowledge and abilities, rather than their identity. Nobody cares. And this goes both ways really. I'm trans, and I make it as much a non-issue in my everyday life as possible, to me it's just a medical thingy and not my entire identity because that would make me a very boring person. And with that approach, literally almost nobody gives a sh*t.
I think that respect for nature is deeply embedded in our subconscious - almost in our genes..., we are also aware of our pagan past, when the tree was a sacred symbol of life. Our relationship with nature is inseparable. She gives us relaxation and respite. So why shouldn't we care about what's good for all of us? I am glad that guests from different countries and cultures notice this balance in Poland and awaken in them the ancient, long-forgotten desire to live in symbiosis with nature and in peace. This is our ancient, Slavic, pagan custom. And nature pays us back. We have a lot of wild animals in our forests (30% of the country's area) - bisons, deer, moose, wildcats, lynxes, bears, wolves and what not... and we also have tourists, mushroom pickers and forest workers roaming these forests in large numbers. And I have never heard of a case of an animal killing a human being in my lifetime. On the contrary, I myself have seen several times deer and wild boars, as if aware of the lack of threat from humans, foraging in public parks and allowing themselves to be fed. I also saw firefighters in action, saving two wild piglets trapped in a children's playground in a bedroom housing estate. And the whole action took place to the accompaniment of the happy squeals of a herd of wild boars that came from the forest to help the young and wild ones. With their screams and squeals they woke up the residents of the estate in the morning and they informed the services what was going on. And when the brave firefighters freed the piglets, the herd of wild boars, squealing and wagging their tails, moved away along the street towards the forest. This story blew me away... I remembered an encounter with a bear in the Beskid Mountains. He was eating something from a bush by the stream, and I was completely unaware and not expecting such a bear encounter in the Beskid forests. I had him 20 meters in front of me and I was petrified with fear. And he stopped eating, stood and looked at me for maybe 5 seconds, deciding that it was no problem, I wasn't a threat to him. It is good and pleasant to live knowing that our nature blesses us. Best regards from Poland
I wouldn’t be that sure about the respect to nature nowadays. We have 98% of our rivers polluted, Baltic Sea on our coasts is dying, the Gdansk’s Bay is literally dying, you may see the problems with algae every year. We are polluting even underground by storing trash in our mines (!!!), and yes - we had a pagan roots, but for last 1000 years it was infested by other religion that even had stollen the pagan traditions and celebrations. Also the last government had stopped most of the nature preservation programs (as well the Brazilian government did - in matter of preservation of rain forests). It is changing in Poland, but the changes doesn’t come as quickly as we would like to, and the damage done for last 8-10 years will only extend the time we will have to deal with it.
@@krzyzaak There are no perfect societies and in each there will be a percentage of people who harm the common good. But as conscious people, we have some influence on the antics of politicians. Let's raise children to be decent people, because some of them will hold public office in the future and will influence the condition of our environment.

Taak, publiczna opieka zdrowotna historia z życia: 40-to latka, opadnięta połowa twarzy, bełkotliwa mowa. Niemcy; lekarz rodzinny: aha, skierowanie, termin na badania i do neurologa 4 tygodnie. Polska: wizyta na SOR-ze, TK, badania, konsultacja neurologa, 6 godzin i diagnoza i narzekanie "bo 6 godzin na SOR-ze". Ręce, nogi i cycki opadają. Wszędzie dobrze, gdzie nas nie ma.
Cherrypicking at its finest. The old town of Warsaw is really tiny and the rest of the city consists of ugly soviet-blocks just like most polish cities. Of course she didn’t show that 😂 and there are only around 10-ish relevant cities, the rest of the country is just rural flat land.
I wouldn't consider Poland first world, especially not because religion is still dominant even in politics. The LGBTQ isn't treated right there at all, wages are really low, and there's a lot of poverty outside the few big cities the country has. Are Polish people friendly? Well, a lot of my neighbors are Polish and they're hard working and friendly for sure. A lot if Polish people are moving here due to our higher wages and our shortage of available workers. Unfortunately, in the Netherlands we also have a housing shortage.
I just love when people give their opinion basing on imagnation not facts.
@@GregWr I just love when people bash someone's opinion without giving constructive criticism. Where does the imagination come in place? Maybe educate me.
@@deleila_charlie2068Polish villages and provinces are well-kept and wealthy, and people, especially young, return to Poland, mainly for safety reasons and development prospects. What you wrote was true 30 and maybe even 10 years ago but now it's in the past. Take care 🙂
@@GregWr Thank, you, I appreciate you telling me this. See, now I've learned something, I was going off the Polish workers who all migrated here and don't want to go back to Poland except for vacation. I hope the human rights have gotten better too?
@@deleila_charlie2068 Hi! I didn't get it. Better than...?
I know it's a bit late to be renaming the channel and all, but you do realise Brazil is a second-world country, right? You're the B in BRICS. You're a developing country.
I think that in Poland the lowest payment is about EUR 500.
4300 zl = 1000 eur, ignorancie

I know a lot of people that came from Poland and live in my country now. Those I know are really friendly and what I can see in all of them is this very warm way to interact and communicate. I like this so much, maybe because we don't do that here very often. This said- and please don't get mad at me - I cannot see Poland as a First World country. And this is not about economic standards alone. I think Poland did a really good job to develop the country after they suffered Russian suppression for so long. My point is more the society and how stable democracy is. Yes, you have free universities und healthcare but queer professors and doctors are not allowed there. They get instantly fired the very moment they are outed. There are even villages that declared themselves as non gay areas - which is totally rediculous. And the right of abortion is challenged. The judges are/were under control of the state as the TV-stations were. I hope so much it will (has already?) change under your new goverment now. Please, come back to the European family again. We need you so urgently in a time we are all challenged by MR. WEIRD in the Kremlin. I think the best way to defend our European values of freedom and dignity for all is to live this spirit ourselves in the first place.
your comment is ridiculous, a lot has changed in Poland. And this information about anti-gay places was a single case. And public opinion was shocked, so don't spread disinformation
"non-gey zones" signs where put by the gay activist, not by cities or viliges, it was just provocation
@tacitusmannheim503 where did you take that bullshit from? according to who exactly queer professors and doctors are not allowed in Poland? No villages have declared themselves as "non gay areas" - they've declared they don't want LGBT ideology activists to indoctrinate children in primary schools in their respective areas. The judges are not under control of the state - they are the state (the third power) and the media were always free after 1989 (and still are). Besides, there is no free healthcare in Poland - if you don't pay a health insurance you don' get a treatment.
@@soul9263 public opinion wasn't shocked, because no such thing as "anti-gay places" has occurred.
I'm very queer, as in visibly trans, and I feel safer here than I do in places like the Netherlands or the UK. And not just Gdańsk, I travel the length and width of Poland on a frequent basis, and I started my transition while living in Podhale.
Generally, Poland culturally has a kind of "janteloven" - meaning "just do your thing and don't make a spectacle out of yourself" - just like the Scandinavian countries - and when it comes down to queer stuff, it basically just boils down to "just act normal" - your sex life isn't interesting for others, and if you make your identity your entire personality, people quickly get bored with you.
I know quite a few LGBT people in very high positions in our local university, as well as in city council, and they're respected for their knowledge and abilities, rather than their identity. Nobody cares. And this goes both ways really.
I'm trans, and I make it as much a non-issue in my everyday life as possible, to me it's just a medical thingy and not my entire identity because that would make me a very boring person. And with that approach, literally almost nobody gives a sh*t.
I think that respect for nature is deeply embedded in our subconscious - almost in our genes..., we are also aware of our pagan past, when the tree was a sacred symbol of life. Our relationship with nature is inseparable. She gives us relaxation and respite. So why shouldn't we care about what's good for all of us? I am glad that guests from different countries and cultures notice this balance in Poland and awaken in them the ancient, long-forgotten desire to live in symbiosis with nature and in peace. This is our ancient, Slavic, pagan custom. And nature pays us back. We have a lot of wild animals in our forests (30% of the country's area) - bisons, deer, moose, wildcats, lynxes, bears, wolves and what not... and we also have tourists, mushroom pickers and forest workers roaming these forests in large numbers. And I have never heard of a case of an animal killing a human being in my lifetime. On the contrary, I myself have seen several times deer and wild boars, as if aware of the lack of threat from humans, foraging in public parks and allowing themselves to be fed. I also saw firefighters in action, saving two wild piglets trapped in a children's playground in a bedroom housing estate. And the whole action took place to the accompaniment of the happy squeals of a herd of wild boars that came from the forest to help the young and wild ones. With their screams and squeals they woke up the residents of the estate in the morning and they informed the services what was going on. And when the brave firefighters freed the piglets, the herd of wild boars, squealing and wagging their tails, moved away along the street towards the forest. This story blew me away... I remembered an encounter with a bear in the Beskid Mountains. He was eating something from a bush by the stream, and I was completely unaware and not expecting such a bear encounter in the Beskid forests. I had him 20 meters in front of me and I was petrified with fear. And he stopped eating, stood and looked at me for maybe 5 seconds, deciding that it was no problem, I wasn't a threat to him. It is good and pleasant to live knowing that our nature blesses us.
Best regards from Poland
I wouldn’t be that sure about the respect to nature nowadays. We have 98% of our rivers polluted, Baltic Sea on our coasts is dying, the Gdansk’s Bay is literally dying, you may see the problems with algae every year.
We are polluting even underground by storing trash in our mines (!!!), and yes - we had a pagan roots, but for last 1000 years it was infested by other religion that even had stollen the pagan traditions and celebrations.
Also the last government had stopped most of the nature preservation programs (as well the Brazilian government did - in matter of preservation of rain forests).
It is changing in Poland, but the changes doesn’t come as quickly as we would like to, and the damage done for last 8-10 years will only extend the time we will have to deal with it.
@@krzyzaak There are no perfect societies and in each there will be a percentage of people who harm the common good. But as conscious people, we have some influence on the antics of politicians. Let's raise children to be decent people, because some of them will hold public office in the future and will influence the condition of our environment.
