People in Poland (usually) are not used to being asked ''how are you'' by some a stranger. Thats why they are confused when u ask them.

Hi, Pyzy Flaki Gorące serves a traditional Praga food - pyzy. It is also traditional in other areas of Poznań, but it was „it” food for Bazar Różyckiego, which you passed by on the video. It was a prosperous place in 60/70/80, even 90. Now, it is a small market. And as for Brzeska Street - it can be dangerous ;) it is gonna be revitalized in next 10/15 years. Glad you saw Praga! It is really interesting part of Warsaw but very neglected by the city… greetings from Praga ;)
Once I had a girlfriend from Praga. After a date I walk her back home through the most spooky streets full of winos, pimps, local hooligans, moonshine traders. And... never felt unsafe or even uncertain. When someone asked me some change I politely explained that I was a poor student with no income but I could give a dime or two. Then I was offered a gulp of cheap wine strait from the bottle. The golden rule about Praga was to not show any sign of disgust and feel as you belong to this place instead. The band is to commemorate local tradition - Warsaw had its own songs sung with Warsaw's accent on the streets and backyards by such a bands. Many of them was from Praga. The ultimate songwriter and singer was Stanisław Grzesiuk, you can find his pieces on YT. My favourite are "Ballada o Czarnej Mańce", "Bal na Gnojnej", "Nie masz cwaniaka nad Warszawiaka" ("Black Mary Ballade", "The Party on the Gnojna Street", "There's no Bigger Smartass as Warsaw Guy". If I can compare him to any English singer it would be George Formby. "Świetnie" means excellent or great which is much better than just good or fine. Have a good time in Wawa (as we call this lil town).
Many of the old buildings were sloppyly reconstructed after the war. Cheap plaster was used and its decorative details were stripped off. Now they are slowly being renovated and restored to their splendor. There is "a village" in the very heart of Warsaw. You find Jazdów. You must see this place
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Justin, i'm half polish half persian from Canada. I've watched most of your videos since you love to interact a lot and I prefer vloggers who travel and like to speak to the general public. I'd love to meet you one day somewhere in Poland as I too love to drink and am very social as well, we'd probably have a lot of fun haha.
Hi Justin, firstly you have hit it out of the park again, but most importantly thank you so much for the unexpected but very , very much appreciated gift which arrived today I cannot wait to use the Bulgarian spice mix ! Keep them coming mate ! (videos I mean :) ! )
Hello mate, So happy it arrived and sorry for the delay!!! Been so busy, but a man's word is everything. Go for the Gipsy banitsa... toast some bread, a little olive oil drizzled on top and plenty if spice... If you can get some Bulgarian or fetta cheese, will be heaven. Happy you enjoy the videos mate👌👍
first of all, I sincerely congratulate you on your perfect Polish pronunciation, I am truly impressed. and I'm not sweet-talking.. you should keep learning, you are doing great! second: the girl at 28:28 responded "świetnie!" which is "great" or "amazing!" not just "good" :) third: at 29:15 it was a place with very traditional Polish cuisine dishes , it said above the entrance "pyzy i flaki gorące" , gorące = hot, pyzy = kind of potato dumplings with stuffing, usually meat, but completely different to famous 'pierogi'.. and flaki (or flaczki) , another very traditional polish stew / soup made of tripe :D if you are brave enough try 'flaki' next time when you're in Warsaw.. flaki / flaczki is served at EVERY Polish wedding party.. you should definitely go to old Praga bazaar called "Różyckiego", but be careful of pickpockets in the crowd.. you will find there old ladies / babushkas ;) serving fresh 'pyzy' straight from the pot, very Warsaw dish.. you should find place with flaki there, too .. and one TV series recommendation , if you have the opportunity you should absolutely watch "The king" - (Król - in Polish), is shows Warsaw, especially Praga and Różycki bazaar before the war, 1937-38.. it's about the Jewish mafia ruling the city.. it's like Polish "Peaky Blinders".. similar vibe.. top notch stuff! btw.. some people claim that Warsaw's Old Praga is becoming more and more like Camden Town in London, artsy, bohemian and authentic... cheers mate !
Hello.mate, Thanks for the compliment on the Polish... as you probably know I am fascinated with learning languages. I will definitely make my way to that market and try some of those foods, my second passion in.life after languages. And yes Praga is super cool and trendy place and I will he back to Party there for sure. Would.love to see that show, hopefully it is on Netflix or perhaps you could recommend where I could watch it. All the best mate and thanks for the comment, tips and advice👍👌
Hahahahaha great video, and your Polish is getting good. Hilarious how you guys were talking about breaking bad and running into Walter White look a like hahahaha
Bryndza started to be produced by Vlachs. Vlachs settled a large part of the Carpathians. They reached the Polish Tatra Mountains and the Beskids. Polish highlanders are their descendants. That is why bryndza is typical for Bulgarians, Hutsuls, Lemkos and our Highlanders.
Justin, I love watching your movies, because I, a Pole, get to know my homeland thanks to you😀! Why are you so good in Russian !? You speak bardxo clearly in English like no English! although I know you are 100% British? 🤔
Hello my friend! Thanks so much for the very kind words… this means a lot! I’m so glad you are enjoying watching my videos of your homeland😁 Learning languages is a great passion of mine… as well as experiencing new cultures and traveling a lot, so i’ve managed to learn quite a few languages! 👍👌
I enjoy your off the beaten track guides to various places (Warsaw, Krakow, Golden Sands, Riga). I am from Warsaw. It is also worth seeing some more, maybe less random sights in Warsaw, though still off track for many tourists. I'd recommend you seeing: Cytadela (Russian Tsar era fortification), the Neons' Museum (the only Neon Museum in Europe that has Cold War neons - co-run and co-funded by a Brit); the beach on the Praga side of the river; the international venders on the left-side embankment; ul. Katowicka and ul. Francuska in Saska Kepa (Praga) - examples of modernistic prewar architecture, plus a bunch of restaurants, and eateries; the garden roof at BUW - the Warsaw University Library; the Arch of the EU placed smack in the middle of nowhere - a field south of Warsaw, plus the most tacky architecture on a hotel nearby. All this just to name some. All the very best!
Those are mostly prewar buildings some abandoned. Warsaw's Praga was not that distroyed during the WW2. Now the city implements the project to restore them, that is way some are or some are not yet refurbished.
that band statue in Praga can play music if you send sms :))) and you can chose song, there is a list of songs on the statue, its mainly old Warsavian or Polish songs before World War
Iza Osinska 3 minuty temu "Ile to kosztuje?" means "How much does it cost?- if you just want to know the price of a product. But if you want to ask how much you need to pay for the product/products you are buying, ask "Ile płacę?" meaning "How much do I owe/pay?". "Po ile?" is in street market slang, do not use it everywhere. "Witam, jak się masz?" you can use when speaking to the people you know by first names, it's informal and most people will just ignore it (like the girl in the video), or surprised (like the man a few seconds later). The policemen answered politely because they deal with foreign tourists in the streets on a daily basis so they know the language issues and accept them. "Witam (welcome)" you use when starting a speech to a group. Use "dzień dobry" to everyone or "cześć" to young people. (17.35), its a monument to the Praga street folk band.
English/American sentences and culture translated to Polish might not work. Poles are less direct and some of these small talks might be misunderstood. The girls "attacked" by "jak się masz?" might think you try to pick her up :-) The answer might be a cloudy face.
Hello! Thanks for your support… one of my favorite passions is learning and experiencing new cultures and languages. Poland is definitely a great one!👍
Praga Warsaw people have ther own mentality wich prefer more calmly way of living not as buisness and rush driven people living on western side of Wistula river. Migration of people from other cities and small towns to the capital of Poland mostly for work after 2WW made them a bit defensive and sometimes aggressive. As you can see most of the buildings are old because they were not destroyed in war. Rebuilding and expantion of destroyed Warsaw was prioritised on western side and most of the east city Praga was left behind as expantion of the city was made. You may say Praga is poor district of Warsaw concidering how it looks, mostly by lack of restoration. The most dangerous place in Praga was Dudziarska street is the 90s, today is abandent. But it is good to avoid Brzeska, Stalowa, Konopacka streets after midnight. Also you might find no lack in Mokotów or Śródmieście. Today it is a quite safe city but if you want trouble as a tourist you must look for it with a candle. Overall Warsaw is a big city.
Drinking Russian vodka in Poland? What an offence! :-) We have bryndza in Poland as well. In fact, people from different regions will have a different understanding of this product. Bryndza is most popular in the mountains.
Hank Schroeder and Haisenberg in Warsaw... perfect : ]] btw. Praga used to be dangerous, now i think it is not. I have been there many times during the night, going back from the clubs, and I havent experienced any problem for years. Good choice, unknown and uncommon part of the city.
When you come back to Bulgaria mate ? In Varna . ? I wanna take you around and show you some nice and very ancient places , if you don't mind ! You gonna like it , there is so much to discover in Bulgaria ,for none Bulgarian person ! You doin great job ,keep goin ,I like it ! ;) ...
You gonna blow your chanel ,whit those places ! The world is so beautiful, everywhere ! You have amazing opportunity to travel ! Admire you ! But as a bulgarian , and person who is very interesting in the history of Bulgaria and know the beauties,I wanna show you ! I been visit most of the greatest British castle's ,and was very impressed ! Now I wanna show you some part of that in Bulgaria !? ...:)
You are in Poland, the country that invented vodka with so many good brands to choose from and you want to buy Russian? Plus why support Russia and their barbaric war?
Hello Justin my friend👋 I took a train from Warsaw to Dorohusk to the border with Ukraine a couple days ago. I tried to cross the border but the polish border guards stopped me
Przewodnik po warszawie... pyta się gdzie brzeska, na tyłach różyka mówi "taa to taki niby bazar". Jak bym stał przypadkowo obok to za spłaszczenie historii bazaru Różyckiego do miana bazarku bym udowodnił koledze że praga dalej może być niebezpieczna. 19:13 to tylko odnowiona elewacja a nie concrete, wszystkie budynki pokazane na ujęciu są z cegły zresztą jak by wyjąć gdzieś ze środka by się pokazała przepiękna szamotówka takiej barwy i faktury że dzisiejsze się mogą schować. Na tym przykładzie można było opowiedzieć o problemach powojennej pragi, o tworzeniu socjalnych gett przez władzę w 90-tych, o niedofinansowaniu i zapomnieniu, głupim prawie dotyczącym zabytków które powodowało i czasem dalej powoduje że władze czekają aż budynki się zawalą w odpowiednim % zanim zaczną coś z nimi robić. Wtedy mogą wyburzyć i na nowo postawić nie muszą odnawiać zgodnie ze starym style co jest tańsze, o dzikiej reprywatyzacji, o knajpianym boomie w późnych latach 2000 i zmianach na dzielnicy. O "mafii" prasko-kobyłkowskiej w mediach nazywaną pruszkowską. Już nawet nie wspominam o czasach przedwojennych o mordowniach na brzeskiej opisanych pięknie np. u Hłaski o synagogach, o dawnej stalowej. Po co opisywać gościowi taką historię lepiej skrócić Praga- tu kiedyś było niebezpiecznie. Już było lepiej mr. White-a co go pod "Oparami Absurdu" spotkaliście na przewodnika wziąć. Po kilku piwach by to zrobił na bank lepiej ewentualnie tylko z kierunkami były małe problemy :-) A jak już się tak czepiam to 38:38 to kablówka na lewo nie prąd.
Pomijasz jedną istotną informację. Ja nie pełniłem funkcji przewodnika, praktycznie nie wiem nic o Pradze. Chciałem go zabrać w ciekawe miejsca po prostu, gdzie sam byłem i robiłem fotki. A uszczypliwe komentarze możesz sobie oszczędzić, przez kabel każdy mocny :) Miłego dnia życzę i mniej jadu, będzie Ci w życiu łatwiej
Ur russian sounds like u infiltrate whole soviet union xD serriously, the way u feel and understand it is suprisingly intuitive, considering u r british native speaker,
Britan and ireland have been good to Poland thru history fighting Germany,france and germany attacked Poland i think but thier still European brothers i guess.
I don't know if you have been to Turkey before, but you have a taste of Turkish cuisine. I recommend you to visit the city Gaziantep or Hatay and you will find yourself in Heaven.
I watched all the episode. It's interesting to see the city I live by foreigner's eyes. The cable you have see in the floor could be just antenna cable not the electric one. I'm very sad about the signs "J***Ć LGBT" - it is very bad thing about Poland now which I am ashamed of. Anyway, don't be angry, but I find Poland much more beautiful than The UK (I used to live in Nottingham and Bristol). I wish you many good experiences in your travels. Good luck! :)
Hashlama, Lavash, Pastirma are all Turkish words and we used to live with Bulgarian, Greek, Armenian, Arabs and Kurds in the Balkans and Anatolia. So we are sharing a common past, taste of cuisine and music, even common eating and drinking habits. Why don't you come to Turkey as well? Turkey is still part of Eastern Europe.
Your English accent sounds far far away from UK. Not sure where you from but definitely not from there as you stated. In fact sounds like European knows how to speak in English properly. Nothing personal just saying what I see.
We will be in Warsaw in a few days 👍🇵🇱
I hope you have a great time!👍
can u adopt me
People in Poland (usually) are not used to being asked ''how are you'' by some a stranger. Thats why they are confused when u ask them. It's also worth noting that in Poland we have a practice that when we address strangers or people we know, but they are not our friends, we should use the form Mr./Mrs.[ (Pan/Pani) not You.
Jak się masz ?(PL) How are you(ENG) - for friends
Jak się Pan/Pani ma? - for strangers or people we know but they arent friends
But it is still worth bearing in mind that people in Poland are not used to such question as how are you from stranger.

Once I had a girlfriend from Praga. After a date I walk her back home through the most spooky streets full of winos, pimps, local hooligans, moonshine traders. And... never felt unsafe or even uncertain. When someone asked me some change I politely explained that I was a poor student with no income but I could give a dime or two. Then I was offered a gulp of cheap wine strait from the bottle. The golden rule about Praga was to not show any sign of disgust and feel as you belong to this place instead.

23:00 Jaroslaw Kaczynski - remember that name 😁
Drinking Russian vodka in Poland? What an offence! :-)
We have bryndza in Poland as well. In fact, people from different regions will have a different understanding of this product. Bryndza is most popular in the mountains.
Hank Schroeder and Haisenberg in Warsaw... perfect : ]]
btw. Praga used to be dangerous, now i think it is not.
I have been there many times during the night, going back from the clubs, and I havent experienced any problem for years.
Good choice, unknown and uncommon part of the city.
Thank you Michal.
Happy you could see the fun in the title🤣
Praga was amazing!!! Will definitely party there in the future👍👌
@@J.E.E I reccomend "Hydrozagadka". Club located in old tenement house.

Two English guys meet abroad. What’s the first thing they ask?
What team do you support
Chelsea 🤣
You are in Poland, the country that invented vodka with so many good brands to choose from and you want to buy Russian? Plus why support Russia and their barbaric war?
it was like a reunion of Breaking Bad casts! Bryan Cranston and Dean Norris! :))
😆😆😆
There are 50 shades of Warsaw and Praga is one of them.
Tbh, u don't really look like Hank but that other English dude did look a little like Heisenberg.
The english friend has a kind of polish accent after 25 years living in Poland. 😅
37:44 Not relics, but Marian shrine. So beautiful. ❤️✝️🙏
❤️👃
Hmmm.... You feel at home in Poland 😉
I do mate!!!
It is a fantastic country👍👌
What is the New York Police Homicide Department doing in Warsaw's Praga district? Theo Kojak in 2022
🤣🤣🤣 next time I will take a lollipop with me👍👌
Nikt w Polsce nie mówi: Jak się masz. Tylko obcokrajowcy. Naprawdę. Brzmi dziwnie.
🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱
Hello Justin my friend👋 I took a train from Warsaw to Dorohusk to the border with Ukraine a couple days ago. I tried to cross the border but the polish border guards stopped me
Hi mate?
On what basis did they not allow you? Was it the Polish side or the Ukranians?
@@J.E.E It was on the polish side of the border. It was just allowed for freight transport to cross the border and not allowed for private individuals
@b mly It’s not safe to go to Belarus now. You can travel to Belarus when the war is over
After brexit I was hoping they never come here again
37:05 ❤️😉
👌👍
During the Comunism times the Pliska brendy been more quality,my father used to say ! :) ...
I am sure it was... now things are very commercial.
Thanks for watching mate👌👍
Przewodnik po warszawie... pyta się gdzie brzeska, na tyłach różyka mówi "taa to taki niby bazar". Jak bym stał przypadkowo obok to za spłaszczenie historii bazaru Różyckiego do miana bazarku bym udowodnił koledze że praga dalej może być niebezpieczna. 19:13 to tylko odnowiona elewacja a nie concrete, wszystkie budynki pokazane na ujęciu są z cegły zresztą jak by wyjąć gdzieś ze środka by się pokazała przepiękna szamotówka takiej barwy i faktury że dzisiejsze się mogą schować. Na tym przykładzie można było opowiedzieć o problemach powojennej pragi, o tworzeniu socjalnych gett przez władzę w 90-tych, o niedofinansowaniu i zapomnieniu, głupim prawie dotyczącym zabytków które powodowało i czasem dalej powoduje że władze czekają aż budynki się zawalą w odpowiednim % zanim zaczną coś z nimi robić. Wtedy mogą wyburzyć i na nowo postawić nie muszą odnawiać zgodnie ze starym style co jest tańsze, o dzikiej reprywatyzacji, o knajpianym boomie w późnych latach 2000 i zmianach na dzielnicy. O "mafii" prasko-kobyłkowskiej w mediach nazywaną pruszkowską. Już nawet nie wspominam o czasach przedwojennych o mordowniach na brzeskiej opisanych pięknie np. u Hłaski o synagogach, o dawnej stalowej. Po co opisywać gościowi taką historię lepiej skrócić Praga- tu kiedyś było niebezpiecznie. Już było lepiej mr. White-a co go pod "Oparami Absurdu" spotkaliście na przewodnika wziąć. Po kilku piwach by to zrobił na bank lepiej ewentualnie tylko z kierunkami były małe problemy :-) A jak już się tak czepiam to 38:38 to kablówka na lewo nie prąd.
Pomijasz jedną istotną informację. Ja nie pełniłem funkcji przewodnika, praktycznie nie wiem nic o Pradze. Chciałem go zabrać w ciekawe miejsca po prostu, gdzie sam byłem i robiłem fotki. A uszczypliwe komentarze możesz sobie oszczędzić, przez kabel każdy mocny :) Miłego dnia życzę i mniej jadu, będzie Ci w życiu łatwiej
Walter White was hilarious 😂
Agreed… thanks for watching my friend! 👍👌
would be nice when your companion would prank you
Ur russian sounds like u infiltrate whole soviet union xD serriously, the way u feel and understand it is suprisingly intuitive, considering u r british native speaker,
Britan and ireland have been good to Poland thru history fighting Germany,france and germany attacked Poland i think but thier still European brothers i guess.
I don't know if you have been to Turkey before, but you have a taste of Turkish cuisine. I recommend you to visit the city Gaziantep or Hatay and you will find yourself in Heaven.
37.03 Terrible writing on the wall, on the left.
some guy or women can tell u we didnt have vodka together , thats why im pan or pani to u
We can fix that problem very quick👍👌🤣
Zamiast walczyć o ojcowizne, chlaja w Warszawie...
I watched all the episode. It's interesting to see the city I live by foreigner's eyes.
The cable you have see in the floor could be just antenna cable not the electric one.
I'm very sad about the signs "J***Ć LGBT" - it is very bad thing about Poland now which I am ashamed of.
Anyway, don't be angry, but I find Poland much more beautiful than The UK (I used to live in Nottingham and Bristol).
I wish you many good experiences in your travels.
Good luck! :)
u need to add Pan Pani , when u try to speek polish , its rude to say jak się masz , to a person u don t know , u should say jak pan/pani sie miewa
I think they all forgave me👍👌
@@J.E.E they do couse ur foreing , if u were Polish u could recive jusy slap in the face , and im not joking bro
Hashlama, Lavash, Pastirma are all Turkish words and we used to live with Bulgarian, Greek, Armenian, Arabs and Kurds in the Balkans and Anatolia. So we are sharing a common past, taste of cuisine and music, even common eating and drinking habits. Why don't you come to Turkey as well? Turkey is still part of Eastern Europe.
Hello! Thanks for watching… there are many places I would love to visit and film and I will definitely keep Turkey in mind👍👌
Your English accent sounds far far away from UK. Not sure where you from but definitely not from there as you stated. In fact sounds like European knows how to speak in English properly. Nothing personal just saying what I see.
First
Cheers mate👌👍
BTW It was very careless of you to ask about RuZZian vodka. It disappeared from supermarkets in UK as well.
Haha thats ridiculous thing tbh cos as fsr as i know even ukrainians dealing with russians do the researc and stop sharing this bullshit
If you like pancakes, I recommend the Polish potato version, a very simple recipe
