Say hi in the comments if you are from Poland, woopwoop 🇵🇱😊 and let us know where should we visit next if we go back to Poland?! Thank you so much for being here & watching our video, it means a lot to us! If you want to see more videos like this one, then please subscribe too 😉👍🏻
I live in poland! :) And in what country do you live? ;)
Hi fifusia, welcome haha 😉 thanks so much for watching our video 🙏🏻 we are from Brussels in Belgium! Currently on a 12.000 km overland journey from Brussels to Beijing which is how we passed through Poland. Wish we could have stayed longer though because the people we met (especially while hitchhiking) were so nice! Where in Poland are you from? 😊
@@NaickKim The city where I live is called "Prabuty". I do not know if you're asking about it. I'm weak from English.
Yes that's what I was asking about 😊I googled it, looks like you have a beautiful castle there! Is it a nice place to live?
@@NaickKim Yes. Nice people, as well as a beautiful city. Just beautiful ❤🏠
I'm from Gdansk. I like how they introduce it like this cute little port town. First of all not a town but one of the biggest cities in Poland. Also definitely a gem but not necessarily hidden.
Yes so we have heard in the meantime. We meant that the historic city center was quite small. And hidden gem because in Belgium it's not something you ever really hear about. Thanks for watching and for your input!
@Samuel Cleife you will not be disappointed its so nice
@@NaickKim Kzen hie nij ok
Comparing to other Polish cities, Gdańsk isn't that small at all. It is one of the biggest cities in Poland actually. ;)
Yes so we learned in the meantime 😉 but we meant the historical centre was quite small 😃
@@NaickKim It's small, because the Germans destroyed Gdańsk during the II World War in almost 90%. It was rebuilt after the war fortunately. Greetings from Poland! ;)
@@NaickKim Yes, that's True.
Tomek Żyła not Germans but Russians
@@Tomek_Zyla actually Soviets destroyed Gdansk at the end of the war

I'm from Gdańsk and I love my city so so much :) I think I must be lucky to being born here and live near to this beautiful buildings with a rich history and... just this everything :) I'm really happy to hear that you enjoyed your day here. Great video :)
Thank you Oliwia. Yes it is a really nice city! You're lucky indeed 😉👍🏻

Im visiting Gdansk in September and I cant wait .
Wanted to come to Poland for a few years so im soooooooooo exited.
Hello Poland and HELLO Gdansk 👍👍✌
Hello 😊👋🏻 you will have an incredible time in Gdansk, I am sure of it 🤗
@@NaickKim the city looks lovely . I also want to see the art on the tower blocks ( just outside of Gdansk I think) .
potato filming so how was ur trip
@@Maczeta_Pompa Hi 👋 .
It went absolutely AMAZING its the nicest place I have been ! .
Some of the nicest people I have ever met .
I want to come back with Wife and kids next year .
potato filming im lucky to live in Trójmiasto (agglomeration of 3 biggest citis in pomeranian region of Poland: Gdynia, Gdańsk and Sopot). I really like walking around the Gdańsk and looking at those colourfull buildings. I also really like searching for some unpopular places. For example if you want to see Gdańsk again you should also see st. katarzyna and st. Brigida churches. They are right next to each other. And don’t forget to see what’s inside of this second one.
When you talked about the Solidarity museums I got shivers all over my body .
Yeah it's a pretty gripping place. The history of Gdansk is crazy when you think about it while you're visiting the museum 🤯
My city!!!!! 🖤
Hi Julia, your city is beautiful 😘👍🏻
Pozdrowienia z Gdańska
Greetings from Gdansk
Greetings from Mongolia! 😉😏
想念格旦斯克，波蘭最愛的城市。

Good video!
Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
Nice overview guys.
Glad you liked it! Have you been to Gdansk too? 😊
@@NaickKim Many times. It's definitely one of the best cities in Poland. That's what I'd also recommend you to see in PL: Slowinski National Park- Lacka Dune, Zakopane-Morskie Oko, Masuria - beautiful lakes, Wroclaw, Kolobrzeg, Wolin Island-Slav and Vikings Center, Hel, Bledne Skaly -the
place where ''The Chronicles of Narnia'' were filmed, Szklarska Poreba-Sniezne Kotly, Zywiec-Brewery Museum, Energylandia in Zator, Krakow and Warsaw. You will love it! ;)
I love Gdainsk Poland 🇵🇱 ♥

Hi Amelia, you should be proud, it's very beautiful 😊
Beautiful 😊

Hidden? Not so much! Rather touristy !
Been there in 2017, exactly same cathedral and the views, streets, museums food , Everything! Love it 😍 miss the good times I had !
Yes but for people from our home it's still hidden / not very popular haha 😉 did you just visit Gdansk in 2017 or other places in Poland too? 😊
Beautiful Superb 👍
Thank you 🤗🙏🏻
OMG u just filmed my home haha. I lived on Mariacka street
Oh really? 🤣 maybe your house will be famous now haha! That must be such a nice street to live on?
WOW Amelia you should get an Oscar now ;) żarcik :)

Omg.. I was just looking for some video about Gdańsk to pass to my friend in Australia. She is planning a trip over there soon. My mum comes from Gdańsk too. Then, this couple 😊 They are awesome. Funny and cool .. hope you guys liked Gdansk x
Underneath the doughnut place there's a first automatic bowling alley opened in Poland, where every pin is hang on a string. Cool place to unwind for a bit and spend time with your friends, since there's no signal in the basement.
Thanks for the tip!
Nice video, though it needs a few comments. First, the architecture is overwhelmingly Polish. As you might know, during the WW2 the city had been completely destroyed. 85% of all buildings in the historic center had been turned into ruins that were beyond any restoration. That's why after the war, the Polish authorities decided to knock them down completely and erect buildings that were to resemble the ones that existed in the XVI, XVII and XVIII centuries when Gdansk had been the richest city in Poland. Such iconic landmarks as the Green Gate, Artus Court or the statue of Neptune are the finest examples of the Polish architecture of that time. After the war, the authorities even decided to deliberately eliminate any traces of German influence that appeared when Poland lost its independence at the end of the XVIII century. Some buildings that were erected by Germans at that time like famous Danziger Hof Hotel have not been rebuilt at all. So saying that these "beautiful colored buildings are completely un-Polish in architecture" is misleading. Though it's true that, as in the case of every port city in Europe, Gdansk has also been influenced through ages by different styles and trends typical for many other port cities, particularly the Hanseatic ones. And obviously, needless to say, that all these "beautiful little houses that have the shape of the traditional ones but are actually quite modern" have been built just recently by Poles and designed by Polish architects.
Secondly, Gdansk is not so small city. It has a population of roughly 582K which is almost exactly the same as Copenhagen (583K) and just slightly smaller than Oslo (648K). Apart from that, it's a nice video. Good luck and many more nice surprises in Poland :)
Thanks a lot for the additional info ;) very useful. Where are you from in Poland?
Ye the only 100% German things there is old crane and st jan cathedral (I said ,,100%” cuz st Mary basilica is actually half polish half german. Firstly built by Teutonic order, enlarged by poles to todays size but still there are German parts - transept and presbytery)
I stop after 2mins.
I enjoy watching your vlog ✌️😎
Thanks for watching, that's great to hear 🙏🏻 where are you from? 😊
Naick & Kim I was born in Poland but now I’m living in US Sarasota FL 😎 but vacation visiting my family in Chicago 👍😎So I got nothing better to do just browsing yt 😎and I find you 👍😎😇
@@Al1en_boy_USA I'd never heard about Sarasota until now. Chicago is pretty cool. They've got some great restaurants down there! It's nice you have that link to another culture and you still have family in Poland.
Naick & Kim best deep pizza pie,hot dogs and Portillos Italian Beef 👍🤣😎
@@Al1en_boy_USA indeed! And those Chicago Cheese Steak Sandwhiches! Wet and sloppy please :D
I recommend Sopot - beautiful beaches - very cheap, they cook tasty and people are very nice and especially kind. I recommend everyone to come to Sopot and visit Gdańsk, Gdynia, Malbork immediately.
Thanks for sharing the beauty of this city! One of my favorites!
You're very welcome, thank you for watching! Glad you liked it 😉👍🏻
Hi. Thanks for the video. If you visit Poland again, try out Olsztyn and some of the lakes in the city, such as Ukiel. All the very best and happy travels.
Great video! You covered lots of ground here. Was this all from one day? I like how you're informative but not too deep.
Hi Scott! Glad you liked the video and thanks for the feedback 😊 yes it's all from one day. And we even made a late start at about 11 am haha 😅 it's a small city so everything is pretty close together. From the river to the amber river via long street is only 10 minutes walking for example. Are you looking into visiting Gdansk as well? You can easily spend a weekend here though if you include some time to have a nice drink next to the river or want to spend more time in one of the museums. 2 days will give you a nice relaxed pace to take it all in 😊
I have no immediate plans to visit Gdansk, but someday I'd love to fly into Gdansk and out of Helsinki, and explore the Baltics in between!
Yes we were surprised by how much we loved our brief trip through the Baltics on our way to St Petersburg. Next videos are Latvia & Estonia, which we enjoyed so much that we definitely want to go back there at some point too. I think the Baltics make the perfect roadtrip! And there's a direct ferry from Tallinn to Helsinki too 😊👌🏻⛴️
OMG I WAS THERE BEFORE BTW I LIVE IN POLAND TOO! OMG SQUEAKS😳😳😳🤩🤩
Hi Natalia 😊 Gdansk is amazing! Where in Poland do you live? 😊
I live in Todź it's a city in Poland thank you for asking
Hi!🙋♀️ I'm from Gdansk, Poland 😁
Hi Paulina, nice to meet you! And thank you for watching our video ☺️🙏🏻
Hi Paulina, nice to meet you! 👋🏻 and thank you for watching our video, we hope you liked it 😊🙏🏻
Gdańsk, Gdynia and Sopot is the Tri-City. Gdańsk is over 1000 years old. Gdynia was built in the first half of the 20th century. This is a typical port city. Sopot is a typical seaside resort with the longest wooden pier in Europe and sandy beaches. In Gdańsk there is also an interactive Museum of the Second World War. A cruise ship can be visited by Westerplatte. It was there that II W.W.
Yes I read that Sopot is also really nice but unfortunately we did not have time to visit there. Thank you for sharing 👍🏻 are you from around Gdansk yourself?
I'm from Poland and I was on a pirate ship to Westerplatte and back! It's an incredible adventure. You can visit everything from the ship: the whole port, shipyards, Wisłoujście fortress and additionally, if someone does not have time to visit Westerplatte and come back later, he may not get off and return immediately by the same ship. And Westerplatte can also be visited from the deck of the ship, because the monument to the defenders of Westerplatte can be seen when we are sailing. A live guide in Polish, English and German tells the whole cruise, and on the way back there was live shanties music! Such pirate music makes the cruise very pleasant. Additionally, you can eat and drink something, because there is a bar and restaurant on the Deck. Honestly, I highly recommend crayfish cruise, because a very large part of historic Gdansk can be visited during one cruise. 😊
I also highly recommend the view from the St. Mary's Tower! A bit of a lot of stairs up, but it's worth it! Unforgettable views
Agreed 😍
Thanks for sharing that, very useful 😊🙏🏻
Is it possible to do this year round? When did you go? 😊
@@NaickKim I'm sure the ship will be sailing for the rest of the holiday season. I think even until the end of September. I was two weeks ago and I recommend it again 😅💓
Hi can anyone tell me the street with the steps outside all the houses and the name of the cafe , great video but no reference on how to spell the places and therefore I can’t find them
It is Mariacka street and Drukarnia cafe
You missed WW2 museum. One of newest in Europe, hidden under the ground level, definitely must be place :P
we know!! we will go there next time for sure :)
@@NaickKim :P
You miss one thing in Gdansk. The 2WW started there. The is Museum of 2WW or Westerplatte peninsula
Yes we'd read about it, but didn't make it there. We'll keep that for next time!
They only had 1 day, and Westerplatte is kinda out of the way, it would probably be quite hard to find time for that.
Definitely worth a visit though.
@@NaickKim It`s like to visit Stratford upon Avon and forget about Shakespeare
I live in the Gdansk, i hope you like this city, have a good day/night bye!
We really liked Gdansk a lot and would like to return to visit the other two citied as well next time. We really liked Poland a lot. What's your favourite spot?
@@NaickKim is my home haha
@@klaudia917 lucky you :)
Not just the biggest brick church in the world. It's also one of very few to have crystal vaults. In your clip you got one of them for a second maybe, on the left of the cadre showing the 'ceiling'. Well, the special thing about crystal vaults is that today nobody knows for sure how they were built. I think it would be an interesting thing to note and show here. They are very sophisticated and look like of some fairy tale castle. When in church - especially in gothic ones - do always look up, and not just to verify if they were crooked (they all were). You may find what you see up there more interesting than what you can see around. Cheers
Oh my god I can't believe we missed that 😩 but thank you so much for sharing this, otherwise we never would have known! We'll do an even closer inspection of the church next time 😉 thanks for watching and the valuable info 😊❤️
Naick & Kim well, 01:00 straight. The vaults on the left, not those in the central nave (they have some ornaments on them but it’s no big deal from construction perspective). Put a pillow on your desk to protect your jaw before you look left :). Nobody would be able to build it today of bricks and stones. The way I see it is that those ornamented ones are a post-war restoration and are only mimicking the lost crystal ones. Which explains the whole idea of how mysterious the crystal vaults are.
And donuts!
Mieszkam bardzo blisko Gdańska i jest tam bardzo bardzo ładnie :-)
tak, kochaliśmy Gdańsk! gdzie dokładnie mieszkasz? :)

To czemu oglądasz filmik o tym "zniemczonym mieście" pisowski matole.
Towarzyszu Asie z lewicowej PO - taki z ciebie As, jak ze mnie papież i zaraz ci to wykażę. Po pierwsze co ma piernik do wiatraka? Gdańsk jest pięknym polskim miastem, a że jest rządzony przez zniemczałych lewackich krętaczy, hochsztaplerów, szachrajów, aferzystów i malwersantów, to nie jego wina. Po drugie jak można być takim burakiem, żeby w tym wieku nie rozumieć, że ci wszyscy, którzy tak chętnie i z pianą na pysku innych nazywają matołami, sami są matołami. Takim zachowaniem zdradzasz tylko brak pewności siebie, nieporadność i kompleksy. Po trzecie jak można być takim burakiem, żeby wspierać partię, która będąc u władzy przez dwie kadencje z rzędu, prawie zrujnowała państwo. Ty pewnie nic o tym nie wiesz, w takim razie czemu się w tych sprawach wypowiadasz? Każdego buraka łatwo ogłupić, bo nie wie, komu wierzyć. Z tych pewnie powodów jesteś zapatrzony w obce media oraz podobne do ciebie otoczenie i na ich podstawie postrzegasz świat w myśl zasady, że „góra wie lepiej”. Niestety, jak uczy życie, ta bliżej nieokreślona góra też często niewiele kapuje albo kieruje się tylko własnym, partykularnym interesem. A czy ty Waluś w ogóle wiesz, które to media w Polsce są obce? Jesteś jak słodki dzieciaczek w piaskownicy, łatwo ci zrobić wodę z mózgu.
Towarzyszu Asie -- chyba już kiedyś polemizowałem z tobą na podobny temat. Widać, jak byłeś zakuty łeb, tak nadal jesteś.
Im from Gdansk 😉
Hi Magda! Nice to meet you 👋🏻 greetings from Mongolia! 😊
I'm happy that I'm polish
As you should be! 😃🇵🇱 where in Poland are you from?
I am from Bielsko-Biała is a city in southern Poland with a population of approximately 171,259. The city is a centre of the 325,000-strong Bielsko Urban Agglomeration and is an industrial, transport, and tourism hub.
I never been in gdansk I hope you having a great day.
Maybe we'll pass by on our next trip to Poland! We are definitely coming back some day, 1 day was not enough to explore such a beautiful country. We've been to Warsaw before as well, but would like to go outside the main tourist places to see the real countryside of Poland too 😊 probably summer is the best time to visit?
Thank you so much, we had an incredible time 😍 Gdansk is the perfect spot to spend a weekend, with some nice sightseeing, great atmosphere and good food 😊👍🏻
I was in Gdansk 3 weeks ago, it's a lovely city even though the weather could have been better
Hi Shaun, yeah we were pretty lucky with the weather there but we've seen much much worse since we moved on to Russia then haha 😅 were you on a longer trip or was it only a visit to Gdansk?
@@NaickKim I spent 3 nights there before moving on to Oslo for another 3 nights, then from there to Copenhagen for 2 nights before coming home.
@@shaunpierce4174 that sounds like a great trip! We've never visited Oslo or Copenhagen but have heard so many great things about it. Which out of those 3 cities did you like best? :)
@@NaickKim let me put it this way...I've been to Copenhagen nine times, I have at least two more trips planned there this year,and I'm currently looking into the possibility of moving to Copenhagen...I think that tells you what I think of CPH although to be fair Oslo is really beautiful too and I will definitely go there again.
Great episode guys. Love Amber too. Amazing artwork!!! Well worth the visit.

Thank you! Definitely put Gdansk on your list of places to go too if you ever travel Poland 😊 or maybe you've visited Poland already at some point since you used to live in Germany?
@@NaickKim Unfortunately no, worked with wonderful Polish artists but never made it. I admired their tenacity during the cold war. It was sad how way back then the communist government would loan them out to west Berlin animation studios like slaves. But now Poland looks like a jewel :)
Yeah the Polish people I think have seen their fair share of hardship during the cold war... We only spent a few days in Poland but the people we met were so incredibly nice. As you will see in the hitchhiking video which we'll post tomorrow 😊
“Biggest brick a$$ church…” Thumbs up immediately after hearing Kim say that. But then came the “ Is the donut making you a bit moist?” I was looking for a second 👍🏽! 😂
I'm very hungry and really could use a donut right now! WITH ice cream please!
And nutella 😍 I miss that donut sometimes...

I a class in gdansk ten years ago
Great video and a favourite city of mine, however Gdansk is NOT a "small port town" - it's HUGE! The city stretches far and wide and in Trojmiasto (Tri-City) there are 800,000 people, with Gdansk itself housing a HUGE 500,000 people!! I have no idea why you thought it is a small town, even Sopot and Gdynia are big...
Nice video, but Gdańsk its not "little city" :P, one of the biggest in Poland ;). Now it is the 6th largest city in Poland. I know that they are more bigger in the world, but still not so small. Greetings!
Im'From Gdańsk
Hi, woopwoop, welcome 😉🙏🏻
Gdańsk is not so small at all, almost 500,000 people live in it :)

We would loveto come back to explore the two other cities near Gdansk.
@@NaickKim my favourite place is długie pobrzeże💗
Yes we loved the part next to the river too! So scenic and a lot to see 😍
How is it hidden? It's literally the only major city by the sea in Poland and the biggest one in the northern part in general.
In Belgium it's not really something people know of as a travel destination so in that way it's a hidden gem. But you are right that it is a big city, thanks for your input 😊🙏🏻
@@NaickKim Sorry, didn't want to come out rude! Glad you enjoyed this city :) I happen to study in it, although personally I'm from central part of Poland, small town of Płock - be sure to check it out if you happen to be nearby, especially during one of the festivals that take place here :)

Gdansk is not so little when you see it as a Threetown. Together with Soppot and Gdynia over 1 Mio people live there.
Yes we learned that too, but we meant it in the way that the historic center is quite small. But you are very right! Thanks for watching and for sharing your thoughts 🙏🏻 are you from Gdansk yourself?
Tu ktoś z Polski 😃 nie rozumiem, że ktoś się burzy bo Gdańsk został nazwany małym miastem. Niestety tak wygląda, historyczne centrum można przejść w 10 min, nagle się urywa jakby nie było już kontynuacji i połączenia z resztą. A ta reszta bardzo niskiej jakości architektonicznej, ulice zaplanowane bez namysłu.
Dzięki! Centrum miasta wydawało się trochę małe.
Little port? :-)
This is the biggest port in Baltic See :-)
Yes... Sorry about that hahaha. We meant it felt small 😅
❤️ from Gdansk
Thanks a lot! We really enjoyed it. We'll be back to Poland next year. Really enjoyed it a lot.
The little port town? With 600.000 people living there?
And just a word about the medieval cathedrals: their main axes are always broken. It's not a bug, it 's a feature. :) It's so called "an axis deviation". The nave and presbytery angle is about 4 degrees. There's a theological explanation of this: Jesus' head on the cross is always leaning.
Yes you're right. The historic city center is quite compact so we didn't realise until later that it's quite big!
Cool, thanks about the explanation, we had no clue about that. Can you be our guide next time, haha :)
@@NaickKim Actually I don't live in Gdańsk, but in my little (this time correctly, only 1/10 of Gdańsk population) town there's also a a thousand years old medieveal cathedral and it's of course also "broken".
And yes, there were pirates on the Baltic Sea! The Polish pirates/corsairs were fighting with The Teutonic Knights Fleet since the 15th century.
BTW I meet quite a lot of people from Belgium in the Tatra Mountains. Last time the four pretty girls (with a broken car) in Dolina Pięciu Stawów (The Valley of Five Lakes).bit.ly/2Y63anL
466 631 te 600 000 to chyba z turystami;p
@@LauraArniman Ja wziąłem dane z GUS-u, gdzie w roku 2017 Gdańsk liczył 582.205 mieszkancow z wyraźną tendencją rosnącą.
Tymczasem wikipedia podaje wartość ktora i ty przytaczasz.
Tak czy siak miasteczko to nie jest.

Well I never saw anyone eating pierogi with their hands 😀😀😀😀
Hahaha somehow it was easier 🤣
From now on, that's how I'm eating them✋✋, especially if there's dipping sauce!!
@@charlies.5777 that's right! To hell with social norms. #nonconformist :D
@@NaickKim
Yeah, conformity is SO overrated!! 😀 Since my grandparents were born in Warsaw - and then emigrated to Amurica - I loved your video. And since I've never been to Poland , I'm " jelly "as a Polish donut 🍩that you visited Gdansk. What a beautiful city!! I definitely need to check-out Gdansk when I do my " Getting back to my roots" Polish tour!! 😀
PS I DID hit that SUBSCRIBE button!!
@@charlies.5777 We're glad to have you join our travels, thanks for being here 🙏🏻😊 ah I think a back to your roots trip should be so cool! We are definitely going back to Poland at some point, driving through the countryside while hitchhiking it just looked so beautiful 😍 and especially if you have some family history there, it will be so interesting! Where in the US do you live? 😊
Brick ass church :D :D :D
Haha yeah woops 😅 I was thinking to myself that it was a big ass church but I mixed that up with the brick part 🤣
I think that the idea of hitchhiking is not a good idea because of the considerable luggage. Trains and buses are really cheap for your budget.
I would recommend doing it a few times though. We met a lot of really kind people along the way and it was a great adventure.
Amber is millions of years old.
I live in Gdansk and ive never been to half of the places You guys went to so yea
Haha then maybe you know what to do next weekend 😉 any other places you can recommend in Gdansk for when we go back? 😊
Naick & Kim I Really think You saw everything interesting I know in Gdansk, but if You want to come back, there are two Big cities next to Gdansk, Sopot and Gdynia, that has a lot of places to see if you’re interested 😄
Jest tu ktoś z Gdańska? Hahha
I saw a lot of people from gdansk in the other comments 👆🏻😊

Naick & Kim 😅💜
Gdansk is a major Polish and European city, with a 1 million population. What you seem to mix up is assuming the OLD Town historical center is the whole city.
It it beautiful (my former city), deserves at least a few days, with side trips to Sopot resort, Gdynia, and Malbork - the fmr capital of the Teutonic Knights, with the
awesome biggest in the world brick castle complex, from the 13-15th centuries.
Yes, Gdansk looks like Copenhagen, since these are historical hanseatic cities, as most of the major North European port-cities in 13-16th centuries in Denmark,
Germany, Netherlands, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, Sweden, Norway, etc - ALL of them look amazingly very much alike, and often due to the common/similar laws they were
ruled by during these centuries.
Example: the width of the even most posh residences was a result of how many windows (glassed!) could fit in - and the window TAX regulated that.
Antwerpen in your country (Belgium) was also one of these cities.
Doughnuts in Poland are superior to made anywhere else, as the yeast dough is much lighter, often due to the addition of pure vodka - you don't feel the taste, but the
dough contains much more AIR, gets fluffy, moist and light, does not absorb as much fat during frying/baking.
Thanks for taking the time to share your views! We really enjoyed Gdansk. We only had 1 day there but I think it's perfect for a weekend getaway, which would give a bit more time to explore 😊👍🏻 where in Poland do you live now?
@@NaickKim One can see you DID enjoy Gdansk ! Very nice video, great video work w/amber and other stuff. Kim: your smile is infectious ! I do hope you'll get back more at leisure, all over Poland (Zakopane in the Tatry Mountains down south from beautiful Cracow/Krakow, Polish capital until 1596 !). I have a comment in my head on your trans-siberian, did it (also to Irkutsk) many moons ago - hopefully will manage to post in a day or two. I live in NYC, for many years. Love how beautiful Poland & Gdansk has become since communism got dismantled (not 100% yet). The PIS current gov IS the main/only force for Poland's progress and getting stronger economically, more beautiful, SAFE, and open/friendly to travel for/by ALL. Be safe in Asia !
@@NaickKim Hi - I told you we'll send you smthg re: the TRANS-siberian I took many moons ago. Some ruski trolls messed up my YT account via Polish patriotic channel, plus the system does auto-upgrades, and other pple complain as well: I CANNOT POST a new message under a video, unless through "REPLY". My computer guru will check it out ASAP and we'll file the report w/google if needed. For NOW I have to say it here, hope you'll see it.
Re: Transsiberian: You've had an only sane idea to take (&pay) for the 2nd class. Should you take the 3rd, you'd still have that smell all over you and your stuff. I was laughing as NOTHING has changed in 40+ yrs ! Maybe sheets little whiter. The SAME tea-glass holders (stakhanchiki) ! The SAMOVAR used to be the REAL samovar like in Dr Zhivago movie. The food you could buy from "babushkas" on the platforms, was MUCH better. Everybody gave you smthg to eat, since you NEVER go on this trip w/out bags of your own food. Avoid train food in all those countries - you cannot get sick. I saw today that you take 3rd class to Ulan-Ude -- should be OK, it's "only" 7 hrs.
Baikal - beautiful, HUGE, same as before, looks cleaned up a tiny bit, the lake and the surroundings. The boats were much worse then !
You do GREAT video job ! Be good to yourselves. Ciao for now.

Co za bełkot 😂
Small port?
The Tri-City has 750,000 inhabitants - how many cities are larger in the Baltic Sea? St. Petersburg, Stockholm and ...?
Gdańsk is not Polish or whose?
Have not Poles lived here from the beginning?
Who lived here and what kind of kings prevailed in this area?
Danes?
An interesting cultural rasism, arrogance or ignorance (of racial purge of architecture)?
Similar architecture of the northern renaissance and neohansatic can be found in other Polish cities in Pomerania, and even examples in the south of the country.
I wonder how many Polish cities You know and their history? .
Is Krakow a Polish city and Petersburg - a Russian one - after all, there were also foreign influences there?
What cities are: Lvov, Vinius, Prague, Odessa, Boston, and Granada?
Is Warsaw, Zamość, isn't Polish, because the architects came here from Italy?
Some people compare the architecture of the Old Town in Wroclaw to the Dutch one.
Do similar post-Hanseatic cities: Amsterdam, Bruges, Lubeck, Rostock, Stralsund, Hamburg, Stockholm, London, Riga, Tallinn,
Szczecin, Kołobrzeg, Elbląg, Klaipeda - they are not: Dutch, English, German, Swedish, Latvian, Lithuanian or Polish?
Only whose?
And finally, such a remark: old Gdansk was almost 100% destroyed. What you observe are artificial mock-ups.
Such Polish models as in Warsaw and Wrocław!
Yes,..! Therefore, you can call it a non-Polish syndrome - the result of "good German work" - "war vandalism"!
Once an interesting humorous movie was published, about an American tourist - how an idiot is exploring the world ... - very instructive ...
We mean no offence and have indeed learned in the meantime that Gdansk is bigger than it seems when you are just strolling the historic center. No racism or anything like that here, just our opinion 🤷🏻♀️ but thanks for the info!
