For me as a German, I am wondering what your expectations of Poland were before travelling to Poland. Kindly specify those 😮. I travel Poland a Lot 😊 professionally since 20 years, and the speed of the transformation of the country as well as the ambition and the unaltered friendliness and authenticity of the people are just amazing. Love it!
People around the world didn't realize that for Poland war ended 30 years ago. They have their country free for only 30 years, of course they will be patriotic, and they will love and cherish every inch of it. People tend to respect what they once lost.
@@TravelAddictGuy We have no freedom. Here, people who have been indoctrinated in schools and know little about modern Polish history will mostly write. Sooo... Poland is being stolen all the time by foreign corporations with the complicity of people who sit in the so-called government and work to the detriment of Poland and Poles.
If not the communism the house ownership in Poland wouldn't be one of the highest in the world. The commi blocks and the whole neighbourhoods designed with large green areas, walkable distances to school, and primary healthcare points, all thanks to that era. Also before communism most people were uneducated, illiterate - communism changed that so 99% could read and write. Ask older people when education, technical, science related education was better - now or during communism. Of course many bad things happened, but not all were bad. There were plenty of good ideas and plenty are still shaping our todays life.
To wszystko nie jest za darmo. Całe pokolenia walczyły o Polskę i umierały w beznadziejnym położeniu, zdradzane i oszukiwane przez "przyjaciół". Odbudowywały kraj z ruin. Dziś każdy Polak, niezależnie od barwy politycznej czuje się zobowiązany wobec pamięci tych ludzi i domaga się tego samego od każdego przybysza, który chce tu zamieszkać - i nie chce być "ubogacany", bo ma własną , bogatą kulturę i historię. Jest w tym cokolwiek dziwnego?
Yes, I respect all those who died to free Poland. I am impressed by how patriotic Polish people are. They really love their country. It has saddened me greatly to learn about the Warsaw uprising and how Poland suffered during WWII. My grandfather was an American soldier in WWII. He told me some stories about the war. But it seemed far away in America. Here in Poland, I've seen the effects of that awful war.
@@TravelAddictGuy Actually, this is 'Nation - alism'. Native. Ne. Which the ''West'' despises & is confused about. And in Poland, WW ii, with the men fighting overseas, the Polish women and youths showed their courage.
Polish does not sound like russian in any way. Listen to any putinlike person and any polish polititian. Is like comparing american english to french and saying that they sound similar. You are a very good honest guy. All the best to you!
So to an American who is not familiar with the Slavic language it might sound a bit like Russian. After being here for a short time, I quickly learned the difference. I know that both countries are completely unalike. Thank you and best wishes to you.

Poland is a beautiful European country where history and modernity can be seen at every step. Good road and railway infrastructure, efficient public transportation, beautiful architecture, tasty cuisine, various regions and landscape are Poland's advantages. All this makes the country worth of visiting. In my opinion, most Poles are patriots who love their homeland. At the same time, they are open to those foreigners who come to Poland legally, obey Polish law and fulfill their obligations towards the country if they decide to settle permanently in Poland. This is my subjective opinion about Poland.
Warsaw rose from the ashes after WWII like a Phoenix. This also applies to many villages, towns and cities. Poles have been developing their country economically at a very fast pace. For this they should be commended. I enjoyed watching your video. Good job. Keep it up!!!
You listed a lot of great things about Poland. I agree with all of them, Poland is a great place to visit or live. Yes, Poles are very patriotic and love their country. Yes, tourists and foreigners coming to Poland should respect their laws and culture.
I presume usage of "how are you" frase is the biggest cultural difference. Even if mostly Poles knows it’s kind of greeting, the habit is to answer honestly. Cultural assuption is if you are asking, you are interested indeed. It can leads to an awkward situations. It's much safer to say, just "hi or hello".
I think in most parts of the word people ask, how are you, how is it going, or something similar. It's an easy way to start talking and connect with someone.
@@topalbanomany people just ask "how are you" as British "how do you do", expecting answer like "how do you do" in reverse (not listening, wanting short answer). It doesn't work this way in Poland and I was kinda surprised why Americans don't use "how do you do" if they expect one word in reverse
You're right. In Poland, it's clean. Just clean! No matter where you go, whether it's the countryside, a small town, or a big city, it's spotless. In this regard, a gap is emerging between Poland and the so-called Western countries.
Polska już nie jest taka czysta jak była 30 lat temu...niestety brud i syf został przyniesiony z tego ''nowoczesnego'' Zachodu, co jest bardzo niedobre....niedobre jest też to, że Polska kopiuje z Zachodu raczej najgorsze pomysły.... Obecnie pod rozkazy globalistów nasz kraj jesr rozwalany na naszych oczach - tzw. rząd niszczy edukację, sądownictwo, rolnictwo....mamy jeszcze kilka tygodni na to, żeby zorganizować rolniczy strajk ogólnopolski i odrzucić Zielony Wał, który jest oszustwem tysiąclecia żądać zakazu wwozu trującego świństwa z upadliny oraz żądać wyjścia z unii faszystowskiej, która wykonuje rozkazy globalistów w celu niszczenia Europy..
@@TravelAddictGuy Pole here. I've been working in multinational corporation for many years. I am travelling all over the world, meeting people of different nations, languages and cultures. I've been to anglosaxon countries thousand of times. But still when somebody greets me with "how are you" I am covering in sweat and I die inside a little. What to answer? Does that person really want to know how am I? Why do you care? Why do you ask? Why can't we just get straight to business?!
@@Blyfycyfyfyf The "How are you?" question from a native speaker, is really like a greeting. It's just common courtesy similar to Dzien Dobry in Poland. You can simply answer I'm fine or I'm good, followed by "How are you?" .
@@Blyfycyfyfyf Same here. :) I've been talking with foreigners for over 20 years now, and still, everytime i am asked about my day, my polish soul is screaming to answer honestly. :)
Poland is a wonderful, peaceful country, very modern, with a lot of history and culture! Polish food is awesome! Definitely, it should be on every tourist list! Thanks for sharing.
The place where the above video was recorded is Bastion Sakwowy (the Sack Bastion) - once it was a part of the city fortifications from the 16th century at the former medieval Sack Gate (named after the guild of craftsmen who made sacks). On Napoleon's orders, the walls and fortifications of Wrocław and Bastion were dismantled, and at the end of the 19th century, the Germans built a recreational complex on this hill, with a fountain, cafes, a viewing point and a promenade. During the siege of Wrocław in 1945, the bunker of the Festung Breslau commandant was located in the basement of the hill - in the 1990s, a music club operated there. In 2024, the hill was restored again and opened to residents, the first attempt to restore the hill in the 1960s ended in a construction disaster and the death of several people
I've been to Canada last year and in one shop our normal boletus was named "exotic mushroom" :) Something that's normal to us doesn't have to appear the same to people overseas.
Well done my friend. It's a country I'm interested in visiting due to your videos. Many things to see and the transportation choices are a plus. The Polish language looks complicated by the length of their words and pronunciation. Thanks for the positivity.
You'll be fine using english, polish is a hard language to learn, but if you use "Dzień dobry" which is good morning, and "Dziękuję" which is thank you, people will notice that.
I can totally agree with the lack of small talk in Poland. This is because Polish people look at things in a very straightforward way. They don't like to waste their time on asking random questions to people they don't know very well. I personally see the American "small talk" more like a "shit talk" - the talk about nothing specific which doesn't lead to anything productive. We like to talk about our interests, our job or family life, but we usually don't do that when talking to someone we just met the first time. If you want to talk to the Poles the way you're used to talk to your fellow Americans, you gotta earn the Poles' trust first and let them get to know you better.
that's a very generous opinion, looking from the perspective of a Polish citizen who lived abroad for good few years I mostly agree and appreciate being back in Poland ;)
Warsow is very safe. I had time when i was taking many times a walk in the middle of the night during winter time in center of the town. It was like 2 hours of walk just to enjoy silence of sleeping town and only hearing the sound of the snow under my shoes. Nothing wrong or bad ever happened to me. And it was years ago...all the best
The USA needs the nationalization of railway lines so that comfortable and fast passenger connections across the continent can be created like in the old days.
As someone who lives a 4 hour drive from the nearest train station, who cares if they make the rains better. And many many Americans live hours away from any train.
@@TravelAddictGuy All Americans would love electric cars if they could travel as far on one charge as on one refueling. it's very real but not yet. Prototype batteries are too expensive.
Poland is one of the safest places in Europe nowadays ❤ When I was a student I dreamt about living in Paris or south of France one day, now I must say I would not feel safe there anymore especially having family and kids. Although I've been in many countries I always come back to Poland and feel this is my place ☺
@@TravelAddictGuy I have no idea how good you know Polish language...but if you do try to listen to Salon Ludzi Wolnych (youtube). This guy tells what kind of people are nowadays behind the destruction of America, Poland and a lots of other countries over the centuries... These people have been ruling the world for at least a couple of centuries, and they are definitely not good people. They have all the money you can imagine and nearly all the power too. They are the ones who organize all the wars and all the contrived financial crises to rob people of all their possessions and murder millions... There is a lot to this picture...and nowadays we, the people of the world need to unite to fight against them....because now we already have no choice.. Most of the young have no idea what is goig on around...the level of education has been deliberately understated for years, so that today people can be told any stupidity as truth... Check out 2 huge corporatios which are located in States - Black Rock and Vanguard.... and what companies around the world are in their hands. WE need to get at the people behind these corporations...because it is the blood of millions on their hands...and I am not kidding. These are the kind of people who give orders to politicians around the world....
@@TravelAddictGuy just so you know ow some words might sound similar a but Russian person will not understand polish person. Ukrainian, Belarusian, Czech, Slovakian language is more similar to polish than Russian. People in Poland are extremely insulated if you say that. ( just an advise from a polish person) never say that while people you speak to might try to ignore the comment and not react deep down they will always be offended. Russia is polish biggest enemy always has been and any reference like that might set some people off. You were obviously lucky that people didn’t react. Trust me. Avoid comparing anything polish to similar topic/object in Russia.
@@TravelAddictGuy both - Polish and Russian are slavic languages, but we use different aplhabets and Polish (unlike Russian) is highly influenced by Latin. Interestingly, Ukrainian (which is also a Slavic language and uses a different alphabet) has more in common with Polish than with Russian. Even if Polish sounds similar to Russian to someone, it is not as close as it may seem. The closest language to Polish is Slovak, and then Czech.
Polski i rosyjski moga byc podobne dla cudzoziemca, nic w tym dziwnego, a tum bardziej nieodpowiedniego. Portugalski czasaimi brzmi jak Polski i rosyjski
ale to najprawdziwsza prawda, czemu gość ma kłamać, że polski nie brzmi dla niego jak ruski??? słyszałem o tym ruskim dziesiątki razy będąc w USA czy w niektórych europejskich krajach na przykład w UK, ignorować i uśmiechać się, to najlepsze lekarstwo na narodowościowe kompleksy :) no i jakie to ma znaczenie??? może pod wiejską dyskoteką z ludźmi z krótkimi czołami i grubymi karkami ma, nie wiem bo nie zadaję się z takimi... ludzie, luzujcie a będzie jeszcze fajniej, dystans do rzeczywistości to podstwa szczęścia :)

The more I see these videos, the more I think I will fit right in. Israel for the most part is cleaner than the states I've lived in, which are a few. My father was Polish, from Czestochowa. He met my (Lithuanian first generation mother) in Chicago, I now live in Israel. I would like to visit/live in Poland, at least long enough to absorb some language, culture & in particular, my own history. So I am learning Polish online and watching these videos while I wait for the verdict from the Polish genealogists who will tell me if I am already in fact a Polish citizen. Yours was one of the first that showed me what it's like to live there. I started with a vague interest in my past, followed by news reports, now I am into it. Aviva in Akko
I think that you would love living here in Poland. It's even better that you have Polish roots. May God bless Israel in this trying time. I'm glad that you enjoy my channel and good luck. 🙏🏻
…they are coming in different shapes sizes hair colours 😂bless you so sweet thank you for such a great and friendly review you are very welcome here ! Keep exploring and stay safe !
Wow, you are really impressed by Poland 🇵🇱🥰. I spent 40 years in Farmington, Ct and I miss USA but I will stay in Poland for now. I’m from Wroclaw but moved to Bolesławiec. You should visit Boleslawiec is really nice here. Thanks for your video.
That is a long time to love in the USA. I don't miss the USA at all strangely. I've been lucky to love in Spain and now Poland. Thank you, I look forward to visiting more Polish towns. 🙏🇵🇱🇺🇲
Well, you can walk in a middle of a night just about anywhere and you're allowed to carry a knife or even a sword, but you don't need to, because once you lose sight of one 2-men police patrol, another one shows up. So you can walk around a city cluessly whole night and not worry. Almost anytime there is a police patrol who has you in the line of sight and they are not afraid to fight back if someone is actually dangerous.
Not a minute in and already first major mistake-there are plenty of cities in Poland that don’t have trams. This „foreigner in Poland” content is becoming quite popular and as a Pole on the whole I like it, but I there’s one thing I’d appreciate: less generalizations. Poland is pretty homogenous in some aspects and surprisingly diverse in others-living here a few years and visiting a dozen or so places doesn’t really give one a base of experience where one can vouch for how every city here looks.
Big on toilets! Poles. This needs to be emphasized again. I grasped that when toilets in Paris itself drew my attention as so very much inferior (and North America is just a shithole on this from).
That's Wrocław, where he is standing has just been renovated and opened a few weeks ago, in July 2024. I work two hundred metres from where he is stood. Yeah, Poland is fine.
You clearly deserve Polish citizenship :) if it was up to me you would get it the next day, you are the ambassador of Poland :) BTW, I didn't know I live in such a wonderful country (and I've been to many) until I found your channel. BTW, I invite you to the Jelenia Gora Valley, the land of my childhood and in particular to the valley of palaces (post-German but beautifully renovated), you will be amazed by the beauty of these post-German sites! Warm greetings from Wroclaw! :)
It's very kind of you to say that you feel like I'm an ambassador of Poland. I'm really glad that I landed in such a beautiful and historic country. I've thought about visiting Jelenia Gora. Now that you've told me about how nice it is. I'm sure that I will visit. Dziekuje bardzo. 🇵🇱🙏😃
Except for the small talk it sounds worth visiting. My wife however she is from the former soviet union believes it’s still grey and depressing like in the east block days. I unfortunately couldn’t convince her of your point of view..
There are still areas like that in Poland. But it looks so much better now than it once did. There are so many things changing rapidly here. With new infrastructure and buildings being built. I think it's a great time to be in Poland with even better times ahead.
Była w Polsce? Niestety dla Rosjan "kura nie ptica, Polska nie zagranica". Przez całe dekady mówiono Rosjanom, że jesteśmy mali, biedni i że mamy gorzej niż oni, a nawet że istniejemy dzięki ZSRR (kiedy to odwrotnie - z Polski wywożono różne dobra, musieliśmy produkować to, co chcieli sowieci). Taki obraz Polski ma przeciętny Rosjanin, a nie ma on nic wspólnego z rzeczywistością. Znajomi Rosjanie gdy przyjechali do Polski byli w szoku, jak u nas wygląda życie. Drogi, domy, samochody, mieszkania. I jak jest czysto.
@@symulacrumorlando To nie ma powodu aby wyprowadzać ich z błędu. Niech myślą, że są imperium, a Ukraińcy zatkną swoją flagę na Kremlu, a my będziemy mieli wreszcie święty spokój bo ile można wojować z tym ruskim mirem, czas odpocząć. Teraz niech sobie Ukraińcy wojują z tym imperium zła. 😁😁
I did not compare it to Russian. I said to an untrained western ear it could be mistaken for Russian. After living in Poland and learning some basic Polish. It now sounds very different than Russian. But it's a hard language for us to learn.
@PawełLuty-i1m Język rosyjski jest pięknym językiem. Mimo,że jestem Polakiem rosyjski mi sie bardzo podoba. Jak w Niemczech mówiłem po polsku Niemcy myśleli,że mówie po rosyjsku. polak z Rosjaninem łatwo sie porozumie.
Small talk is less popular in Poland for several cultural and historical reasons: In Polish culture, conversations are often more direct and deeper. Poles may prefer discussions on more serious topics, which could stem from longstanding intellectual traditions and historical events that shaped the nation. Conversations about trivial matters may be seen as superficial or unnecessary. The long years of occupation, wars, and communist rule caused Poles to focus on important matters, such as survival, the fight for freedom, and national identity. In such realities, there was little room for conversations that lacked deeper meaning. Poles are often seen as more direct and less inclined to avoid difficult topics. Therefore, small talk, which sometimes serves to avoid deeper issues, is not as deeply rooted in Polish culture. In Poland, people often prefer to form bonds through more personal conversations. Building connections through small talk may be seen as less effective in creating genuine relationships.
Try to eat kabanosy or chrupki w czekoladze. My friend when she visited Poland she fell in love with kabanosy. But my favourite is probably duszonka z ziemniaków z cebulką i innymi dodatkami, but its homemade and you cannot buy it in shop or reastaurant, or maybe but only maybe in some of family restaurants serving dinners?
Thank you for the recommendations. I haven't been lucky enough to be invited to a Polish family dinner yet. But I'm looking forward to one. Dziekuje bardzo.
You forgot to add that this is one of the safest countries in the world. We do not have to carry guns and we still feel safe. We have free health care. Poland is wonderful.
I love how genuine and honest the American reactions are. Also - you did pronounce pierogi (whch is plural) properly which not every English speaked does. For context - GF is an Australian with American passport and she is happy to be with a Polish guy :) And yeah, if you ask us 'how are you' you may get an honest answer. Takes a bit of time to get to know us but once you do, you do have a friend that will help you no questions asked.
1 - We are proud of it! 2 - Sometimes we complain about our public transport. But we compare it to western Europe, not USA. 3 - Modern - it is not only about skyscrapers. OK in Cracow we have only two (and I don't know if we need more). I think Poland is modern becouse whole system: public transport, education, banks (you can pay with your card almost everywhere). 4 - Pizza is rather not Polish but it is really popular. 5 - 95% of Warsaw was destroyed. But not all towns and cities damaged so much. 6 - YES. 7 - We see it as normal. 8 - Small. Well if you want to say something just say it, without ansking about my family. Especially if you don't know me. But if you need something, maybe I can help you. 9 - Sometimes we are complaining that they should be even more green. More. Form Americans it may be not much, but in Poland we have low and high mountains, Balitc See, lake districts. History of many towns and cities had stared in middle ages. So there is much to visit.
The Polish language is spelt like passwords. It is very hard to speak or pronounce. Are people still leaving, or are they coming back. In east Devon, uk, it's like a little Poland, they stick together. I know 2 Polish women. They are friendly and loving. In every Polish video or vlog I've seen, including walk about videos, there's nobody about, the cities are so big and spacious and colourful, what do people do, where do they go? . What about if your vegetarian. They speak so fast, it all sounds like word,
A lot of people left after Poland joined the EU and the Schengen area, and it seems that Great Britain was one of the top destinations. But that was 20 years ago and today it seems that the movement is in the opposite direction - especially since the previous government, although in my opinion it did little good - it did do one thing well: there is a tax exemption for those returning from emigration - for probably 4 years ? This means that they do not have to pay income tax during this period. You ask where the people are because there aren't many people on the streets. Well, I'll answer you - at work, that's why we have such economic development, and vloggers usually shoot their materials during regular working hours :) If you are a vegetarian, you will easily find a large selection of dishes in Poland (including vegan ones). In large cities you will have a restaurant, bar or cafe serving vegetarian dishes literally on every corner, in the provinces this may be more of a problem, but Polish cuisine is rich in numerous vegetables, and you can get potatoes or cabbage (including sauerkraut) in almost every dish, also meat, unless you ask them not to give it to you :) As for the Polish language, I am very sorry, but yes, it is difficult for foreigners, maybe except Slavs. What's more - somewhere I came across a study that claimed that for English-speaking people, the Polish language is the third most difficult language to learn - after the Chinese Mandarin dialect and Arabic. But don't worry - you can communicate in English everywhere, it's probably hardest with older people who, if they do, know the basics of Russian or German. But for decades we have had compulsory English in schools, young people take it in exams - and if they study at universities, they must pass a foreign language (and most often it is English) at B1 level.
@jarosawklejnocki6633 , thanks for your reply. The Polish ladies i mentioned are 2 of my rotation carers, and they are wonderful, i wish i new more, i am 77 years old, and i have motor neuron disease. There is no chance of me visiting Poland, especially wroclaw, one carer is from świdnica the other from Radom.
That's a great review of the country, especially for a person's perspective whom have been in Poland during WW2 and now he's back! Enjoy our women, they love americans and exercising!
@TravelAddictGuy I would just like to clarify why people asks to take off your shoes when you enter their home. It's not about the dirt on your shoes (well that's also but it's not the main reason) it's just that they want you to feel like you are in your own comfortable home. We even have a sentence for that "Gość w do, Bóg w dom" which can be translated as 'Guest at home, God at home'. Apart from that I'm glad you like our Homeland ;)
I'm glad you are enjoying Poland Kerry. Maybe you might settle down with a nice Polish girl. Is there any news on Mikko? Is he still in Spain? Thanks for the video 😊
Hi Janet, Yes, I've been talking with Mikko recently by phone. He is still in Malaga. If I meet the right woman, I would love to settle down with her. 😃
In the West and in films from your country, Poland and other countries from Eastern Europe were wrongly shown as grey and gloomy with sad poor people. No wonder. Information about the countries occupied by Russia was not easily accessible to the mass media. Romania, Poland, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia. They were under Russian occupation from World War II until the early 90s. While others enjoyed freedom already in 1945... We have a history of over a thousand years.
I don't know if people in America have heard of the Internet, but you can use your web browser to find all the information about the countries you are going to... wow! about Poland you will also find information about public transport, food, architecture, lifestyle and culture, and... there are even photos and videos... wow!
I'm glad you enjoyed our country. We see these things differently, like the trains come late, government is rubbish, people drop litter, places are dirty etc. I think it's because we always look up to someone better, for example we look at Japan (it was actually a huge voting phrase back in the 90's to build another Japan in Poland) and we see that streets are not as clean as in Japan so we are totally rubbish. I have only realised how good things are when I went to the UK for two years and learnt first hand how haunting it was. There is lots of things to improve in Poland and we have big problems, but now I appreciate what we have and what we achieved and keep telling to myself; 'It's already not that bad, just keep trying!' Btw. just like any Western nation we are suffering a demographic decline, so anyone willing to work full time, try to do their best, you might want to check if you want to live in Poland. There are difficulties, it's not easy to find a place to live in, and healthcare is far from perfect, but overall I find my home country much easier and nicer to live in, and as long as you have 'umowa o pracę' contract, the state doesn't care how much needs to be spent to cure you from any illness. You don't get any welfare benefits, but if the need to pay 10 million to get you cured from cancer, they will spend 10 million and never send you any bill for that.
Thank you very much for sharing you experience of living in Poland and traveling to the UK. Yes, Poland is not a perfect country, but it has many things that other countries lack. Even western countries like the UK which you found out first hand. Even if your health care is not the best, as you stated. You are covered for any emergency. I think the good outweighs the bad here in Poland. 🙏🏻

Cause Poland is a great country to live in, to visit, and to learn about. We reconstructed our poor and destroyed country, as it was right after the War, into what it is now, by a really hard work of a few generations of brave and hard-working people. We did it even though Poland was being heavily exploited by a soviet russia for decades. Now we're proud of what we achieved. Success was also possible cause We are a very homogenous society with almost no minorities, thus We were able to consolidate our efforts. If You know, what I mean...

@@TravelAddictGuy Two years from now (from 2024) and Poland will no longer be safe. Check what EU forced to do and so-called Polish government agreed to.

Ale tam też była wojna w Syrii i Iraku i nie chcieliśmy przyjmować tych ludzi. Nie wiem skąd ta niechęć do muzułmanów. Przecież w tym czasie kiedy Ukraińcy nas mordowali na Wołyniu (140 tys. ofiar), to muzułmanie nam pomagali. Persja (obecny Iran) przyjęła w 42 r. 120 tys. polskich uchodźców, wśród których byli członkowie mojej rodziny. Trafili później przez Indie do Nowej Zelandii. „70 lat temu Iran przyjął 120 tys. polskich uchodźców”
No, no. This is anti-PR, not a video that will make you want to go there. You talk so much and show the most banal and uninteresting place in the center of this city. There is much more, Świdnicka Street, the Market Square, Ostrów Tumski, most of Grunwald, the panorama of Racławice, museums, the zoo, by the river, etc. You need a basic will to make photomontages with a nice side to see. Your video sounds cynical. There are so many good restaurants, nice hotels, nice spaces, and you show an ugly, noisy street with a communist apartment building. From a professional point of view, for your influencer travel video, you get a -1. We want see the place with a narration from off, not a guy who talks
@@TravelAddictGuy Well, it's same with East-Asian alphabet and faces. You see them only a few times, they are all the same. You get interested and keep watching, and you might not be able to understand or speak the language, eventually 80% of the time you will be able to tell nationality just from seeing a person, and 100% of the time you will be able to tell the language. 10 years ago I didn't see any difference. Now I know exactly the differences between Chincese, Japanese and Korean, although I can't speak any of the languages.
"90% of Poland was completely destroyed" - that's complete nonsense. 90% of warsaw maybe was destroyed but not Poland - germans did not bombed every city.
Everything is great when u exchange your currency 4:1 and think everything is cheap XD For us Poles eveything is very expensive now and it just goes up R.I.P [*]
Poles love to hear how great their country is-how clean, orderly, and safe it is. They absolutely love it. But honestly, they can't stand criticism. They simply can't handle it. Just try saying something negative, like how many buildings are ruined by graffiti, for instance, and they won't like it at all.
What?? Dude, i'm a citizen of Warszawa and ppl are CONSTANTLY criticizing. I constantly harass police department, city watch and politicians to do something about those DREADFUL tags everywhere. I fff HATE it. Just twe days ago totally refurbished building and some MF already taged it like a pssing dog. Also quality of infrastructure leaves a LOT to be desired in some places lake awful sidewalks recently built in strict city centre. A i have a myriad of things to criticize!!
@@mieczysawszafraniec9327 Unfortunately the graffiti is all over Europe. Parts of Spain are really bad, especially Barcelona. The tagging is really ugly, but the youth think it's cool. I do like the murals though. I'm surprised that Polish police don't care about this. Does your building have cameras? Maybe you can catch them on video.
@@mieczysawszafraniec9327 had no idea people cared about such things because everywhere I look, Poles seem to be proud of where they live. In my opinion, patriotism isn’t about waving flags and shouting slogans. True patriotism is taking care of the place where you live-keeping it clean, picking up after your dogs so their waste doesn’t bother others, and taking care of shared urban spaces. So once again, I’m surprised no one is doing anything about it. You can admire a place all you want, but if you travel halfway across the world only to see spots ruined by their own residents, it says a lot about the entire community.
Warszawa is easy one when come to why it look like that, it just dose not exsist after war so people rebuild it better so building in it was more easy and it capitol so that combo make it look like that
@@TravelAddictGuy oh you see difrends is other was half ruin or ruin and left and they resorces was use to rebuild other citys when only few was total ruin to point when build new city was much more easy then clear mess and made it like befor but better
Polish is difficult, and the words look strange? Two linguistic examples from Poland's neighbor, whose language is famous for word clusters: Rindfleischetikettierungsueberwachungsaufgabenuebertragungsgesetz. And a real, existing name: Hubert Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff :)
@@TravelAddictGuy Yeah, grammar is very different. German is a bit more systematic and precise, so grammar is a bit more complicated, but Polish is a fusional language and if it wasn't bad enough, there are many exception and exceptions from exceptions. Most Poles can't speak it correctly but it has the benefit of being very flexible yet precise if you master it, and since so much gymnastics has to made to speak anything, we don't care about petty things. For example there was this huge gender pronoun issue in Canada. In Poland this wouldn't happen because it's so easy to mess gender in endings of nouns and names, people don't care. As long as the message has been understood and you don't seem to be deliberately mean, nobody will care if you mixed man with woman or anything. Even in political debates, people would accidentally adress a person with wrong gender and no one ever even seemed to notice.
Poland is a modern European country, with good public transport as like other European countries, Impressive history and great people.
I agree with everything you said. 👌
Poland is a GOLD mine for history !!! Americans still live with that Cold War era perception. Please, please get up to speed on the realities.
Poland does have world's largest castle.
Soon Poland will be less and less European like other European countries ...
unlike US :D
For me as a German, I am wondering what your expectations of Poland were before travelling to Poland. Kindly specify those 😮. I travel Poland a Lot 😊 professionally since 20 years, and the speed of the transformation of the country as well as the ambition and the unaltered friendliness and authenticity of the people are just amazing. Love it!
People around the world didn't realize that for Poland war ended 30 years ago. They have their country free for only 30 years, of course they will be patriotic, and they will love and cherish every inch of it. People tend to respect what they once lost.
That's a great point. I think that us Americans have forgotten how to cherish our freedoms.
@@TravelAddictGuy
We have no freedom.
Here, people who have been indoctrinated in schools and know little about modern Polish history will mostly write.
Sooo...
Poland is being stolen all the time by foreign corporations with the complicity of people who sit in the so-called government and work to the detriment of Poland and Poles.
If not the communism the house ownership in Poland wouldn't be one of the highest in the world. The commi blocks and the whole neighbourhoods designed with large green areas, walkable distances to school, and primary healthcare points, all thanks to that era. Also before communism most people were uneducated, illiterate - communism changed that so 99% could read and write. Ask older people when education, technical, science related education was better - now or during communism. Of course many bad things happened, but not all were bad. There were plenty of good ideas and plenty are still shaping our todays life.
To wszystko nie jest za darmo. Całe pokolenia walczyły o Polskę i umierały w beznadziejnym położeniu, zdradzane i oszukiwane przez "przyjaciół". Odbudowywały kraj z ruin. Dziś każdy Polak, niezależnie od barwy politycznej czuje się zobowiązany wobec pamięci tych ludzi i domaga się tego samego od każdego przybysza, który chce tu zamieszkać - i nie chce być "ubogacany", bo ma własną , bogatą kulturę i historię. Jest w tym cokolwiek dziwnego?
To prawda👍
no nie jest za darmo, unia sporo się dołożyła, w tym "wredne" niemce
Yes, I respect all those who died to free Poland. I am impressed by how patriotic Polish people are. They really love their country. It has saddened me greatly to learn about the Warsaw uprising and how Poland suffered during WWII. My grandfather was an American soldier in WWII. He told me some stories about the war. But it seemed far away in America. Here in Poland, I've seen the effects of that awful war.
@@TravelAddictGuy Actually, this is 'Nation - alism'. Native. Ne. Which the ''West'' despises & is confused about. And in Poland, WW ii, with the men fighting overseas, the Polish women and youths showed their courage.
@@metanoian965 They fought with such courage.
Polish does not sound like russian in any way. Listen to any putinlike person and any polish polititian. Is like comparing american english to french and saying that they sound similar. You are a very good honest guy. All the best to you!
So to an American who is not familiar with the Slavic language it might sound a bit like Russian. After being here for a short time, I quickly learned the difference. I know that both countries are completely unalike. Thank you and best wishes to you.
Not only unalike but Russia is hostile to us for hundreds of years. And not only us...
Polish language has many words coming from French actually, a lot, also some from German, Russian, even a few from Arabic, Turkish.

Poland is a beautiful European country where history and modernity can be seen at every step. Good road and railway infrastructure, efficient public transportation, beautiful architecture, tasty cuisine, various regions and landscape are Poland's advantages. All this makes the country worth of visiting. In my opinion, most Poles are patriots who love their homeland. At the same time, they are open to those foreigners who come to Poland legally, obey Polish law and fulfill their obligations towards the country if they decide to settle permanently in Poland. This is my subjective opinion about Poland.
Warsaw rose from the ashes after WWII like a Phoenix. This also applies to many villages, towns and cities. Poles have been developing their country economically at a very fast pace. For this they should be commended.
I enjoyed watching your video. Good job. Keep it up!!!
You listed a lot of great things about Poland. I agree with all of them, Poland is a great place to visit or live. Yes, Poles are very patriotic and love their country. Yes, tourists and foreigners coming to Poland should respect their laws and culture.
Poland is developing at a rapid ace. It's quite amazing how they have rebuilt their country. Thank you very much. 🙏🏻
Zgadzam się w 100% Nie reklamuj za bardzo, bo będzie jak wszędzie 🫣
I presume usage of "how are you" frase is the biggest cultural difference. Even if mostly Poles knows it’s kind of greeting, the habit is to answer honestly. Cultural assuption is if you are asking, you are interested indeed. It can leads to an awkward situations. It's much safer to say, just "hi or hello".
I've heard that, actually, so some people told me not to say. Jak sie masz, unless I was ready to hear a long story.😁
@@TravelAddictGuy true :)
Yeah if you ask "co słychać?" be ready to hear someone summerising their entire last month 😂
I think in most parts of the word people ask, how are you, how is it going, or something similar. It's an easy way to start talking and connect with someone.
@@topalbanomany people just ask "how are you" as British "how do you do", expecting answer like "how do you do" in reverse (not listening, wanting short answer).
It doesn't work this way in Poland and I was kinda surprised why Americans don't use "how do you do" if they expect one word in reverse
You're right. In Poland, it's clean. Just clean! No matter where you go, whether it's the countryside, a small town, or a big city, it's spotless. In this regard, a gap is emerging between Poland and the so-called Western countries.
It's true that many American cities are dirty and full of trash nowadays. I choose Poland over the USA.
@TravelAddictGuy it's obvious why but it's a thought crime to say it
If you would have immigrants from all over the world ,Poland wouldn’t be clean.
Polska już nie jest taka czysta jak była 30 lat temu...niestety brud i syf został przyniesiony z tego ''nowoczesnego'' Zachodu, co jest bardzo niedobre....niedobre jest też to, że Polska kopiuje z Zachodu raczej najgorsze pomysły....

@@TravelAddictGuy Pole here. I've been working in multinational corporation for many years. I am travelling all over the world, meeting people of different nations, languages and cultures. I've been to anglosaxon countries thousand of times. But still when somebody greets me with "how are you" I am covering in sweat and I die inside a little. What to answer? Does that person really want to know how am I? Why do you care? Why do you ask? Why can't we just get straight to business?!
@@Blyfycyfyfyf The "How are you?" question from a native speaker, is really like a greeting. It's just common courtesy similar to Dzien Dobry in Poland. You can simply answer I'm fine or I'm good, followed by "How are you?" .

Polish is so different in sound from Russian.
Yes, I can now tell the difference. I can usually detect Ukrainian, too. But when I first arrived, I was not used to the Slavic language.

The place where the above video was recorded is Bastion Sakwowy (the Sack Bastion) - once it was a part of the city fortifications from the 16th century at the former medieval Sack Gate (named after the guild of craftsmen who made sacks). On Napoleon's orders, the walls and fortifications of Wrocław and Bastion were dismantled, and at the end of the 19th century, the Germans built a recreational complex on this hill, with a fountain, cafes, a viewing point and a promenade. During the siege of Wrocław in 1945, the bunker of the Festung Breslau commandant was located in the basement of the hill - in the 1990s, a music club operated there.
In 2024, the hill was restored again and opened to residents, the first attempt to restore the hill in the 1960s ended in a construction disaster and the death of several people
I knew there was a story behind this place. They have done a wonderful job of restoring it. Thanks for sharing. 🙏

@@albertwolanski7688 I mentioned boar, it's delicious and not something we eat in America.
Well done my friend. It's a country I'm interested in visiting due to your videos. Many things to see and the transportation choices are a plus. The Polish language looks complicated by the length of their words and pronunciation. Thanks for the positivity.
You can easily speak english, most of people can use it quite freely.
I'm glad that my videos are inspiring others to come visit Poland. 🇵🇱🙏
You'll be fine using english, polish is a hard language to learn, but if you use "Dzień dobry" which is good morning, and "Dziękuję" which is thank you, people will notice that.
Polacy ciężko na to wszystko zapracowali od upadku komuny, kosztem rodziny, kosztem zdrowia i mimo złodziejskich zapędów władzy
I respect all of the people who worked hard to make Poland what it is today.
Sęk w tym, że komuna nigdy nie upadła...przycupnęli tylko w zaciszu...dziś atakują z całą siłą swojej podłości i IDIOKRACJI...
I can totally agree with the lack of small talk in Poland. This is because Polish people look at things in a very straightforward way. They don't like to waste their time on asking random questions to people they don't know very well. I personally see the American "small talk" more like a "shit talk" - the talk about nothing specific which doesn't lead to anything productive. We like to talk about our interests, our job or family life, but we usually don't do that when talking to someone we just met the first time. If you want to talk to the Poles the way you're used to talk to your fellow Americans, you gotta earn the Poles' trust first and let them get to know you better.
It's definitely a bit of an adjustment living in Poland. But I also respect this straightforward, no-nonsense approach.
I'm so happy to hear so many good words about my country on your channel, and I'm glad you enjoy living there, cheers.

It's great to be in Poland, where you can walk day or night and be safe.
The USA needs the nationalization of railway lines so that comfortable and fast passenger connections across the continent can be created like in the old days.

Poland is one of the safest places in Europe nowadays ❤ When I was a student I dreamt about living in Paris or south of France one day, now I must say I would not feel safe there anymore especially having family and kids.

Don’t say that polish sounds like Russian to local people .. just asking for troubles man.
It doesn't now, but it did when I first heard it. I'm just being honest.
@@TravelAddictGuy just so you know ow some words might sound similar a but Russian person will not understand polish person. Ukrainian, Belarusian, Czech, Slovakian language is more similar to polish than Russian. People in Poland are extremely insulated if you say that. ( just an advise from a polish person) never say that while people you speak to might try to ignore the comment and not react deep down they will always be offended. Russia is polish biggest enemy always has been and any reference like that might set some people off. You were obviously lucky that people didn’t react. Trust me. Avoid comparing anything polish to similar topic/object in Russia.
@@TravelAddictGuy both - Polish and Russian are slavic languages, but we use different aplhabets and Polish
(unlike Russian) is highly influenced by Latin.
Interestingly, Ukrainian (which is also a Slavic language and uses a different alphabet) has more in common with Polish than with Russian. Even if Polish sounds similar to Russian to someone, it is not as close as it may seem. The closest language to Polish is Slovak, and then Czech.

He met my (Lithuanian first generation mother) in Chicago, I now live in Israel. I would like to visit/live in Poland, at least long enough to absorb some language, culture & in particular, my own history. So I am learning Polish online and watching these videos while I wait for the verdict from the Polish genealogists who will tell me if I am already in fact a Polish citizen. Yours was one of the first that showed me what it's like to live there. I started with a vague interest in my past, followed by news reports, now I am into it.

Well, you can walk in a middle of a night just about anywhere and you're allowed to carry a knife or even a sword, but you don't need to, because once you lose sight of one 2-men police patrol, another one shows up.

Not a minute in and already first major mistake-there are plenty of cities in Poland that don’t have trams.
This „foreigner in Poland” content is becoming quite popular and as a Pole on the whole I like it, but I there’s one thing I’d appreciate: less generalizations. Poland is pretty homogenous in some aspects and surprisingly diverse in others-living here a few years and visiting a dozen or so places doesn’t really give one a base of experience where one can vouch for how every city here looks.
I agree it's hard to make generalizations about a country. For the purpose of the video, I had to. Yes, each Polish city is different.
Sweet. Thank you!
Thanks. 😃
Homogeneous culture gives you unique cultural vibe and safety overall. People feel safer around same people.
Poland not only feels safer, it is much safer than most countries.
I confirm very clean cities - streets, pavements, and probably the most aesthetic toilets in the world (I travelled).
I agree, super clean.
Big on toilets! Poles. This needs to be emphasized again. I grasped that when toilets in Paris itself drew my attention as so very much inferior (and North America is just a shithole on this from).
That's Wrocław, where he is standing has just been renovated and opened a few weeks ago, in July 2024. I work two hundred metres from where he is stood. Yeah, Poland is fine.
This place looks amazing. The renovation was very well done.
You clearly deserve Polish citizenship :) if it was up to me you would get it the next day, you are the ambassador of Poland :) BTW, I didn't know I live in such a wonderful country (and I've been to many) until I found your channel.

Poland is not cheap for Polish.

There are still areas like that in Poland. But it looks so much better now than it once did. There are so many things changing rapidly here. With new infrastructure and buildings being built. I think it's a great time to be in Poland with even better times ahead.

Była w Polsce? Niestety dla Rosjan "kura nie ptica, Polska nie zagranica". Przez całe dekady mówiono Rosjanom, że jesteśmy mali, biedni i że mamy gorzej niż oni, a nawet że istniejemy dzięki ZSRR (kiedy to odwrotnie - z Polski wywożono różne dobra, musieliśmy produkować to, co chcieli sowieci). Taki obraz Polski ma przeciętny Rosjanin, a nie ma on nic wspólnego z rzeczywistością. Znajomi Rosjanie gdy przyjechali do Polski byli w szoku, jak u nas wygląda życie. Drogi, domy, samochody, mieszkania. I jak jest czysto.

YES,
comparing the Polish language with the Russian language is an insult to Poles
In addition, these languages are very different, not only by structure, vocabulary or grammar, but also with a sound.
I did not compare it to Russian. I said to an untrained western ear it could be mistaken for Russian. After living in Poland and learning some basic Polish. It now sounds very different than Russian. But it's a hard language for us to learn.
What a moronic statement. Both are Slavic languages and are similar to each other.
@@alh6255you are wrong. They are very similar when it comes to grammar and structure. Obviously you do not know either.
@PawełLuty-i1m Język rosyjski jest pięknym językiem. Mimo,że jestem Polakiem rosyjski mi sie bardzo podoba. Jak w Niemczech mówiłem po polsku Niemcy myśleli,że mówie po rosyjsku. polak z Rosjaninem łatwo sie porozumie.
Small talk is less popular in Poland for several cultural and historical reasons:
In Polish culture, conversations are often more direct and deeper. Poles may prefer discussions on more serious topics, which could stem from longstanding intellectual traditions and historical events that shaped the nation. Conversations about trivial matters may be seen as superficial or unnecessary. The long years of occupation, wars, and communist rule caused Poles to focus on important matters, such as survival, the fight for freedom, and national identity. In such realities, there was little room for conversations that lacked deeper meaning.
Poles are often seen as more direct and less inclined to avoid difficult topics. Therefore, small talk, which sometimes serves to avoid deeper issues, is not as deeply rooted in Polish culture.
In Poland, people often prefer to form bonds through more personal conversations. Building connections through small talk may be seen as less effective in creating genuine relationships.
I appreciate how well you've explained it.
Try to eat kabanosy or chrupki w czekoladze. My friend when she visited Poland she fell in love with kabanosy. But my favourite is probably duszonka z ziemniaków z cebulką i innymi dodatkami, but its homemade and you cannot buy it in shop or reastaurant, or maybe but only maybe in some of family restaurants serving dinners?
Thank you for the recommendations. I haven't been lucky enough to be invited to a Polish family dinner yet. But I'm looking forward to one. Dziekuje bardzo.
What you said is true 100% ! I like Poland ❤
That's awesome to hear. Poland is an amazing country.
You forgot to add that this is one of the safest countries in the world. We do not have to carry guns and we still feel safe. We have free health care. Poland is wonderful.
Yes, Poland is a super safe country. I've talked about this on some of my other videos.
Free health care, ha ha, there is nothing free. Why most people go to private clinics?
@@albertwolanski7688 Is the free health care here bad? I'm sure that even private clinics here cost a fraction of what they do in the USA.
@@TravelAddictGuy I go to private dentist but i've never in a 43 years [birthday today!] payed a single dime on healthcare. :D
@@mieczysawszafraniec9327 Sto Lat! Happy Birthday. Thanks for sharing.
I love how genuine and honest the American reactions are. Also - you did pronounce pierogi (whch is plural) properly which not every English speaked does.
For context - GF is an Australian with American passport and she is happy to be with a Polish guy :)
And yeah, if you ask us 'how are you' you may get an honest answer. Takes a bit of time to get to know us but once you do, you do have a friend that will help you no questions asked.
I try to be as open and honest about things as I can. Thanks. 🙏🏻
1 - We are proud of it!
2 - Sometimes we complain about our public transport. But we compare it to western Europe, not USA.
3 - Modern - it is not only about skyscrapers. OK in Cracow we have only two (and I don't know if we need more). I think Poland is modern becouse whole system: public transport, education, banks (you can pay with your card almost everywhere).
4 - Pizza is rather not Polish but it is really popular.
5 - 95% of Warsaw was destroyed. But not all towns and cities damaged so much.
6 - YES.
7 - We see it as normal.
8 - Small. Well if you want to say something just say it, without ansking about my family. Especially if you don't know me. But if you need something, maybe I can help you.
9 - Sometimes we are complaining that they should be even more green.
More. Form Americans it may be not much, but in Poland we have low and high mountains, Balitc See, lake districts. History of many towns and cities had stared in middle ages. So there is much to visit.
I appreciate the really detailed list of responses. I'm very impressed with Poland, it's people, culture and daily life. Dziekuje bardzo.
The Polish language is spelt like passwords. It is very hard to speak or pronounce.
Are people still leaving, or are they coming back. In east Devon, uk, it's like a little Poland, they stick together.
I know 2 Polish women. They are friendly and loving.
In every Polish video or vlog I've seen, including walk about videos, there's nobody about, the cities are so big and spacious and colourful, what do people do, where do they go? .
What about if your vegetarian.
They speak so fast, it all sounds like word,
A lot of people left after Poland joined the EU and the Schengen area, and it seems that Great Britain was one of the top destinations. But that was 20 years ago and today it seems that the movement is in the opposite direction - especially since the previous government, although in my opinion it did little good - it did do one thing well: there is a tax exemption for those returning from emigration - for probably 4 years ? This means that they do not have to pay income tax during this period.
You ask where the people are because there aren't many people on the streets. Well, I'll answer you - at work, that's why we have such economic development, and vloggers usually shoot their materials during regular working hours :)
If you are a vegetarian, you will easily find a large selection of dishes in Poland (including vegan ones). In large cities you will have a restaurant, bar or cafe serving vegetarian dishes literally on every corner, in the provinces this may be more of a problem, but Polish cuisine is rich in numerous vegetables, and you can get potatoes or cabbage (including sauerkraut) in almost every dish, also meat, unless you ask them not to give it to you :)
As for the Polish language, I am very sorry, but yes, it is difficult for foreigners, maybe except Slavs. What's more - somewhere I came across a study that claimed that for English-speaking people, the Polish language is the third most difficult language to learn - after the Chinese Mandarin dialect and Arabic.
But don't worry - you can communicate in English everywhere, it's probably hardest with older people who, if they do, know the basics of Russian or German. But for decades we have had compulsory English in schools, young people take it in exams - and if they study at universities, they must pass a foreign language (and most often it is English) at B1 level.
I'm sure that some Poles are still leaving, but less than ever. Many others are moving back to Poland. Cheers!
@jarosawklejnocki6633 , thanks for your reply. The Polish ladies i mentioned are 2 of my rotation carers, and they are wonderful, i wish i new more, i am 77 years old, and i have motor neuron disease.

@TravelAddictGuy I would just like to clarify why people asks to take off your shoes when you enter their home. It's not about the dirt on your shoes (well that's also but it's not the main reason) it's just that they want you to feel like you are in your own comfortable home. We even have a sentence for that "Gość w do, Bóg w dom" which can be translated as 'Guest at home, God at home'.
Apart from that I'm glad you like our Homeland ;)
That's awesome, my Mother also hates shoes in her house. So some Americans have this tradition too.
I'm glad you are enjoying Poland Kerry. Maybe you might settle down with a nice Polish girl. Is there any news on Mikko? Is he still in Spain? Thanks for the video 😊

In the West and in films from your country, Poland and other countries from Eastern Europe were wrongly shown as grey and gloomy with sad poor people. No wonder. Information about the countries occupied by Russia was not easily accessible to the mass media. Romania, Poland, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia. They were under Russian occupation from World War II until the early 90s. While others enjoyed freedom already in 1945... We have a history of over a thousand years.
You're right. Many of the countries you mentioned were unfairly shown in Western movies and TV.
I don't know if people in America have heard of the Internet, but you can use your web browser to find all the information about the countries you are going to... wow! about Poland you will also find information about public transport, food, architecture, lifestyle and culture, and... there are even photos and videos... wow!
Wow! The internet can do all that? 😂
I live 5min walk from where you took this clip😅
Czesc! You may see me walking in the city one day then. Because I live near the Wroclaw, Glowny station. 😀
Jestem Polką i bardzo Ci dziękuję w imieniu wszystkich Polaków za taką pozytywną ocenę mojego kraju!
That's very kind of you to say. Thanks to Poland for the warm welcome. Dziekuje bardzo. 🙏🏻
I'm glad you enjoyed our country. We see these things differently, like the trains come late, government is rubbish, people drop litter, places are dirty etc. I think it's because we always look up to someone better, for example we look at Japan (it was actually a huge voting phrase back in the 90's to build another Japan in Poland) and we see that streets are not as clean as in Japan so we are totally rubbish. I have only realised how good things are when I went to the UK for two years and learnt first hand how haunting it was. There is lots of things to improve in Poland and we have big problems, but now I appreciate what we have and what we achieved and keep telling to myself; 'It's already not that bad, just keep trying!' Btw. just like any Western nation we are suffering a demographic decline, so anyone willing to work full time, try to do their best, you might want to check if you want to live in Poland. There are difficulties, it's not easy to find a place to live in, and healthcare is far from perfect, but overall I find my home country much easier and nicer to live in, and as long as you have 'umowa o pracę' contract, the state doesn't care how much needs to be spent to cure you from any illness. You don't get any welfare benefits, but if the need to pay 10 million to get you cured from cancer, they will spend 10 million and never send you any bill for that.
Thank you very much for sharing you experience of living in Poland and traveling to the UK. Yes, Poland is not a perfect country, but it has many things that other countries lack. Even western countries like the UK which you found out first hand. Even if your health care is not the best, as you stated. You are covered for any emergency. I think the good outweighs the bad here in Poland. 🙏🏻

Poland is a great place to start a business! The taxes are good and it's easy to get legalized.
That's another excellent point. Poland is also a great place to do business.
Cause Poland is a great country to live in, to visit, and to learn about. We reconstructed our poor and destroyed country, as it was right after the War, into what it is now, by a really hard work of a few generations of brave and hard-working people. We did it even though Poland was being heavily exploited by a soviet russia for decades.
Now we're proud of what we achieved.
Success was also possible cause We are a very homogenous society with almost no minorities, thus We were able to consolidate our efforts.
If You know, what I mean...
I applaud Poland for rebuilding their country. You're now the envy of the West.

Very nice, just show it in video!
I did show it at the end.
No, no. This is anti-PR, not a video that will make you want to go there. You talk so much and show the most banal and uninteresting place in the center of this city. There is much more, Świdnicka Street, the Market Square, Ostrów Tumski, most of Grunwald, the panorama of Racławice, museums, the zoo, by the river, etc. You need a basic will to make photomontages with a nice side to see. Your video sounds cynical. There are so many good restaurants, nice hotels, nice spaces, and you show an ugly, noisy street with a communist apartment building. From a professional point of view, for your influencer travel video, you get a -1. We want see the place with a narration from off, not a guy who talks

@@TravelAddictGuy Well, it's same with East-Asian alphabet and faces. You see them only a few times, they are all the same. You get interested and keep watching, and you might not be able to understand or speak the language, eventually 80% of the time you will be able to tell nationality just from seeing a person, and 100% of the time you will be able to tell the language. 10 years ago I didn't see any difference.

That's true.
0:32 - the last one makes no sense. Where did you find that BS?
I found it from a google search of the longest Polish word.
@@TravelAddictGuy It still makes no sense. it is a fake made up word.
Poles love to hear how great their country is-how clean, orderly, and safe it is. They absolutely love it. But honestly, they can't stand criticism. They simply can't handle it. Just try saying something negative, like how many buildings are ruined by graffiti, for instance, and they won't like it at all.
I've dealt with that on my channel. Not everything I say about Poland is nice. But most of it is. I love it here.
What?? Dude, i'm a citizen of Warszawa and ppl are CONSTANTLY criticizing. I constantly harass police department, city watch and politicians to do something about those DREADFUL tags everywhere. I fff HATE it. Just twe days ago totally refurbished building and some MF already taged it like a pssing dog. Also quality of infrastructure leaves a LOT to be desired in some places lake awful sidewalks recently built in strict city centre. A i have a myriad of things to criticize!!
@@mieczysawszafraniec9327 Unfortunately the graffiti is all over Europe. Parts of Spain are really bad, especially Barcelona. The tagging is really ugly, but the youth think it's cool. I do like the murals though. I'm surprised that Polish police don't care about this. Does your building have cameras? Maybe you can catch them on video.
@@mieczysawszafraniec9327 had no idea people cared about such things because everywhere I look, Poles seem to be proud of where they live. In my opinion, patriotism isn’t about waving flags and shouting slogans. True patriotism is taking care of the place where you live-keeping it clean, picking up after your dogs so their waste doesn’t bother others, and taking care of shared urban spaces. So once again, I’m surprised no one is doing anything about it. You can admire a place all you want, but if you travel halfway across the world only to see spots ruined by their own residents, it says a lot about the entire community.
Chyba chce wize!
It's not that difficult to get. Just ask Ukrainians.
Warszawa is easy one when come to why it look like that, it just dose not exsist after war so people rebuild it better so building in it was more easy and it capitol so that combo make it look like that
A lot of cities were rebuilt after wars, but they don't look as cool as Warsaw. It's an awesome city.
@@TravelAddictGuy oh you see difrends is other was half ruin or ruin and left and they resorces was use to rebuild other citys when only few was total ruin to point when build new city was much more easy then clear mess and made it like befor but better
Polish is difficult, and the words look strange? Two linguistic examples from Poland's neighbor, whose language is famous for word clusters:

Nic w tym trudnego to po prostu słowa połączone w jedno długie.
Yes, we also find German to be a hard language. But English has German roots, so it would probably be easier to learn than Polish for us.
@@TravelAddictGuy Yeah, grammar is very different. German is a bit more systematic and precise, so grammar is a bit more complicated, but Polish is a fusional language and if it wasn't bad enough, there are many exception and exceptions from exceptions. Most Poles can't speak it correctly but it has the benefit of being very flexible yet precise if you master it, and since so much gymnastics has to made to speak anything, we don't care about petty things. For example there was this huge gender pronoun issue in Canada. In Poland this wouldn't happen because it's so easy to mess gender in endings of nouns and names, people don't care. As long as the message has been understood and you don't seem to be deliberately mean, nobody will care if you mixed man with woman or anything. Even in political debates, people would accidentally adress a person with wrong gender and no one ever even seemed to notice.
