      @@yashaisjdoakd Anybody who wants to live in Poland at this time is either a hard right winger or is not aware of the "Law and Order " party in charge. They are taking peoples freedoms away and vilifying those who are different. The present political climate is really no different than before the fall of communism. The fact that they embraced the authoritarian politics of trump makes me ashamed of my heritage. I thought that since I speak the language and spent time there studying in the early 70"s that maybe I would be able to retire in Poland but until they embrace true democracy I will remain in the USA and so will my retirement pension. I wish you the best of luck.

      @michael Grabianowski you should try live in Israel as a "different" if you don't like it in Poland:) Or in free Canada to have your account blocked and truck confiscated for protesting. Democracy is better off in Poland than in US - at least all the main media don't tell the same and aren't owned by the same.
      You can say whatever you want and you don't get cancelled -although this threat grows since people copy the fashion and think it is democracy... You can say what you want but yes - there is responsibility and there can be consequences - for example you will get sued by state for calling "murderers" the border guards who don't let illegal immigrants freely. And it is fair - for vast majority of Polish citizens - it seems not for you.

I want to eat what they eat and drink what they drink(bison grass vodka, yes please). Poland, specifically Warsaw and Krakow, were amazing. Along with the Greeks the Poles were the nicest, warmest, most welcoming people I met on my trip. Paris, London, Vienna, and Amsterdam, were all great but if I had to pick a favorite it would be Warsaw because of the wonderful people.

    I love the Polish people! As an American who lived in Germany for many years and traveled extensively throughout Europe I jokingly called Polish people Americans because the minute you talk to them they’re like super super super friendly compared to other European countries. I hate to do stereotypes but it is how I felt. That truly was my experience. It’s interesting because very few people speak English but everyone really wants to try and help you if you try and speak Polish. You know as I said I just loved Poland and I plan on going back.

    My favourite place is Szczecin. His number one is not mine.
    Food? BTW, kasza gryczana is a must to try.

      In winter the burning of lignite is not healthy. Air in many cities is filled with particulates.

      Myth. The trees, if in private, intensive managed for wood products, would need more than 2x the surface area of the country. Then, you must ask if the existing scrubbers are good to keep mercury from coal to be released (it is in the coal) , deposited on the land and forests (interferes with biological processes, increases forest mortality) Duda, that name rhymes with a portion of anatomy on your backside in Polish. It's what a snow jobbing, know nothing is called here.

And judging by the portuguese comments in another channel it is apparently pretty common everywhere when it comes to european countries. It's either wannabe tourists, poeple who have already been there or people from the country. Except me.

Very confusing because in Czech, "sklep" means "basement" and I was looking for a Lada auto parts store, and everybody was telling me how to get to the basement of the auto parts store (I thought). I was like "Ne SKLEP Mototechny, ale jenom Mototechna!" The parking situation is also strange and I never will understand it. If I lived up there I could learn Polish in 3 months but some things I will never understand like the excessive religiousness and the obsession with football teams. Everybody up there thought I was at least some tiny percentage Polish but I'm not. Definitely a decent and safe country to visit, and if I had to live somewhere else, I'd move there.

    I'm Japanese.
    I lived in polish city Gdansk for 3 years.
    Polish people were very so kind that helped my life to live comfortably.
    Foods, culture, history, etc, many of things in Poland are very attractive to me.
    But I decided to back to Japan from Poland.
    I strongly feel fear of my future.
    The basic reason is economic.
    In fact, the wages aren't so high that I'm satisfied with.
    Compared with wages, it is not cheap to buy everything plus a high tax rate.
    Despite the low wages, it is very difficult to get a good job spending typically life.
    Many of polish student drop out the study in university for a difficult exam.
    Although my polish friend has the doctor diploma, she is keeping hunt a job.
    When I walked in street, elderly polish usually asked me to give them money.
    It seems that the Polish government doesn't work very well to use tax for polish economic.
    It is the real.

    Uhm i'd like to say few things:
    1. We don't smile when there is no reason to do it. We actually think that people smiling all the time and without reason are just fake.
    2. Younger generation is less religious than elderly people.
    3. You usually have it listed on the menu that you will get potatoes or cabage with your dinner etc.
    4. Please = proszę, not prosim.
    5. Actually there are a lot of tourists in Cracow or Wroclaw but in certain time of the year.
    6. Yup it's quite green here. I love polish forests.
    7. Waiters are almost always friendly and polite (that's a part of their job). They don't smile all the time, but usually when they give you your food they will smile and say "smacznego" = "enjoy your meal". Service won't come to you every 5 minutes with a huge smile asking if you like the food or need something, but they are ready if you want something. They just don't want to bother you when you are enyoing your food :)
    8. If you are a tourist then you should visit not only big Cities, but also the smaller ones like "Sandomierz" or even countryside.
    That's it, have fun visiting Poland :)

Talking to my Polish friends, they find Americans too pushy and in their face a bit. Smile but be give people their space. They do appreciate if you make the effort to speak some Polish words, even if it is only one or two words. It was said to me by a waitress that I was the first English speaking Tourist she heard speaking Polish and it was much appricated. Reading Polish is not that hard, so you can say the word, if not understand it. Yes, the are a few extra symbols and W are pronounced as V. But nothing that can be remembered. Poland is a great country and I look forward to going back again!

    As Polish, I'm saying that you're surprisingly accurate in your observations. If asked, I would say that the main things about Poland are:
    *a heroic, amazing and also tragic history and a lot of its evidence (and cultural attachement to it);
    *a lot of nature (a sea, wonderful mountains, forests and even more farming fields, and much more);
    *cheap travelling (which is a bit unfortunate for Polish people, because while visiting other European countries the costs are quite... unpleasant for us);
    *an insane language (very poetical, though - I mean for example that, because of variety of words, you can describe one thing in 20 different ways);
    *specific people - we're generally 1. proud of our nation, and unfortunately 2. not very outgoing and a bit stiff, but try to make friends, because 3. once a man is a friendly "countryman", he's welcome and warmly treated;
    *very strong religion -90% Poles are catholic. We have a lot of beautiful churches and most of us go to churches on Sundays.
    And a tip: the religion can be either a very interesting or a very fierce topic of conversations - depends on people you're talking to, so be careful. There are some backwards, of course (as everywhere), but it's not that hard to meet wise people you can talk about religion with and see it's nicer than you may think;
    *three meals a day: the first - breakfast, the second - which is sth between a lunch and a dinner - and the third: a supper. And the middle one, let's say dinner - almost always includes potatoes.
    *not very many big cities - most of us live in little cosy towns and even cosier villages. Poland is really a place allowing you to relax. I strongly recommend visiting countryside here!
    Poland is very specific, but after a moment of surprise (maybe shock) you'll see its beauty and you'll fall in love with it (which I suppose, and I hope). I really encourage you to come and visit my country, so you can see for yourself.

    People don't smile because they don't want to look like they trying to pick you up or look like they're too friendly. If you go to any of the European countries people really don't smile as much like they smile in United States on the streets and in the stores.

      +raedwulf61 for walks in a park go to Łazienki, it's a beautiful park with gondolas and a palace on the lake, peackocks just walking around and squirrels you can feed from your hand, its crowded especially during weekends - they have free piano concerts twice a day (Chopin); and if you arę interested in history, see the Museum of Warsaw Uprising, they have audioguides in English and the exibition is really fascinating; good spots to eat, drink beer and meet people: the riverbank (pubs, cafes, nightclubs and even a beach on both banks of the Vistula river), the Old Town (mainly for tourists but at least the waiters speak English), Krakowskie Przedmieście and Nowy Świat street (for tourists but also university students), Plac Zbawiciela (Square) - for hipsters. Don't be discouraged by the "polish face" and ask for directions whenever you are lost 'cause most people turn out to be really helpfull and know at least basic English
