Właśnie sobie uświadomiłem, że Polska jest najprawdopodobniej najszybciej zmieniającym się krajem w Europie, i to zwykle na lepsze. Ten facet opowiada o kraju i świecie, którego dziś nie ma. Ciekaw byłbym jego opinii wypowiadanych dziś, a nie kiedyś tam, dawno temu, w innej epoce, w odległych, zamierzchłych czasach...
I am 47 years old, I use public transport in Poland and I have never encountered the situations described in the material. Maybe the first half of the 90s of the 20th century.
2:22 This is not adorable. This is gut twistingly heartbreaking. Every time I am at The Old Town I visit this monument, despite the fact I am no longer very religious, I say a short prayer, give my thanks and shed a tear. This is a monument commemorating all children of age 7-15 who lost their lives serving as information/orders couriers at Warsaw Uprising during WW2 (running throughout the city between fighting units in the trenches and city sewers with orders for soldiers and intel about enemy movement). There is a plaque at the monument that says: We the children of Warsaw, We go into battle, for every lost stone of Our City, We shall pay with Our blood. 9:50 Public transport employees who occasionally travel on public transport and perform random inspections and write you a ticket for riding a bus/tram without paying for the ride. 10:10 That's a ball of sunflower sprouts. 11:00 That space is called Piłsudski Square and its kind of a parade ground square that is used during National Holidays. The Square is directly infront of The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (monument to honour all the soldiers who couldn't be idetified who had given their lives for Poland, There is an eternal flame lit there with two soldiers keeping an honor guard 24/7, change of guard takes place every hour but on sunday at noon there is a big ceremonial change of guards).
2:25 The Little Insurrectionist (Polish: Mały Powstaniec) is a statue in commemoration of the child soldiers who fought and died during the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. It is located on Podwale Street, Warsaw, Poland, next to the ramparts of Warsaw's Old Town. The statue is of a young boy wearing a helmet too large for his head and holding a submachine gun. Despite being sometimes colloquially called Antek Rozpylacz, it is not representing any specific child. The helmet and submachine gun are stylized after German equipment, which was captured during the uprising and used by the resistance fighters against the occupying forces. Jerzy Jarnuszkiewicz created the design in 1946 and it was used for years for producing small statuettes, only to become the monument decades later. Polish scouts gathered the entirety of funds for the statue and it was unveiled on 1 October 1983 by Professor Jerzy Świderski - a cardiologist who during the uprising was a 14-years-old courier (pseudonym: "Lubicz") serving in the "Gustaw" regiment of the Home Army. Behind the statue is a plaque with the engraved words of "Warszawskie Dzieci" ("Varsovian Children"), a popular song from the period: "Warszawskie dzieci, pójdziemy w bój - za każdy kamień twój, stolico damy krew" ("Varsovian children, we'll head into battle-for every stone of yours, we shall give our blood").
Oh my, this is a city of life and people are different, there are those who come back from a party, those who go to work, or settle down. There is no ideal city. Compared to Berlin, Warsaw is an oasis of peace. Look at our metro, our train station and compare it with Berlin. I live in Warsaw and I have never been robbed, and drunks are not pushy or aggressive, but rather not very visible. If Mrka complains about the metro in Warsaw, he should compare it to the metro in New York and travel at night - then he will have a comparison. Mark will adopt the Polish mentality to complain - it is good, but it could be better.
10:18 were sprouts. And validating your ticket means that before the ride you have to get a mark on your ticket, so you won't be able to use the same ticket more than once. You can buy multiple tickets at once and then use one at a time.
Someone once called the "Little Insurgent" monument "perhaps the saddest monument in the world" - and he was right. As for public transport - it is indeed very good, and since the creation of this video it has even improved. There is a ticket and card system in Warsaw, but the cards are profitable for tourists only for a longer stay, e.g. at least one month. The card is then loaded for 30 days and the cost is PLN 120 for an adult and PLN 60 for youth under 26 years of age, provided they are studying (PLN 120 is approximately equal to $30; PLN 60 = $15). Tickets cover travel time, e.g. 20 minutes, 75 minutes, 24 hours a day, a week - you can change means of transport and change to different lines during the trip. The price of a 20-minute ticket is PLN 3.4 (for an adult), or maybe about 80 cents. In all the years since the video was created, security issues have changed - for the better. You won't see many homeless people or beggars, and if you do, they certainly won't be aggressive. You will certainly see drunkards, especially on weekends, but there is nothing to worry about - just avoid them. Generally, Polish cities are considered very safe, although of course it is always worth being careful, because petty thefts and frauds, especially against tourists, do occur.
This sculpture of a boy with a machine gun was created just after WW2 to commemorate children, aged 11-12, who took part in the fighting of the Warsaw Uprising in 1944.
At the end of the video you talk about open space. This space will be developed because two pre-war buildings are to be rebuilt: the Saxon Palace and the Bruehl Palace. Either way, this movie is strangely old and outdated. Everything is changing so quickly in Poland now that when you watch a film about Poland from a few years ago, it is often out of date.
W czasie IIWŚ, przy wejściu do tramwajów były napisy "Tylko dla Niemców". Na drzwiach restauracji były napisy " Tylko dla Niemców". Warszawiacy nie mieli wtedy pojęcia, że Niemcy będą się kiedyś w przyszłości nazywać nazistami. Dlatego Polacy rozwieszali plakaty z napisami "Jeden nabój, jeden Niemiec" i rysunkiem zabijanego Niemca. Niemca! Walczyliśmy z Niemcami! Nie zmieniajcie nam historii na modłę socjalistyczno-liberalnego porozumienia niemiecko-risyjsko-nordstreamowego.
We hate fake smile 1:19 and because we have very low unemployment rate and its hard to find good waiter or receptionist. I love your curiosity about world 🎉🎉🎉
The video is 5 years old which is a whole era in quickly developing Poland ;)

I ten Plac Piłsudskiego za kilkanaście lat będzie wyglądał zupełnie inaczej, bo będzie miał Pałac Saski i Pałac Bruehla.

Nie mówiąc o tym, że to film sprzed kilku lat.
