GERMAN Reaction to Why I Left AMERICA for POLAND 

Tell me why you love to live in Poland! Powiedz mi, dlaczego kochasz mieszkać w Polsce!😊

"Cudze chwalicie, swego nie znacie" To chyba najlepsze zdanie które podsumowałoby to co sobie pomyślałem po oglądnięciu tego filmu

Warsaw is more green than gray. It's the greenest capital in Europe. However, it means that it gets gray in winter. Since he comes from California he must be accustomed to sunny days all year round. The Chopin concerts in Łazienki Park are twice every Sunday from May to September. They're free and performed by best pianists in the world because Warsaw is also home to the Warsaw Chopin Competition which is like Oscars for pianists. However, there are many many more open air concerts of all genres. Poles love music, and not only in summer. I.e. in January there's always the WOŚP concert.

Ten oryginalny film brzmi jak reklama, same pozytywy. Jak we wszystkich krajach na całym świecie znajdą się tu i plusy i minusy, trzeba mieć tego świadomość. Oczywiście nie obca jest mi duma narodowa i miło słuchać pochwał 😉 Wielu ludziom wydaje się, że "wszędzie dobrze, gdzie nas nie ma", ja hołduję zasadzie "wszędzie dobrze, ale w domu (Ojczyźnie) najlepiej" 😊 Dbajmy o ten dom 🤍❤

20 lat temu był dramat ale faktycznie wszystko się rozwija i idzie w dobrym kierunku 👍 tylko żeby tych wojen nie było nikomu to nie jest potrzebne 🙄 pozdrawiam

To be fair, for an American 5h flight is like nothing 😅 and it doesn't surprise me either he refers to countries all over Europe as neighbours. Anyway, great video to watch, even I learned something new (which I hope is true), and a great reaction.

If you want to learn more about rebuilding Warsaw (and its "newest oldtown"), check video "Rebuilding Warsaw: From the Ashes of WWII" of Megaprojects :)

No Chris chcesz lepiej poznać Polskę i Polaków.... to trzeba się nauczyć polskiego .

The weather in Poland is probably the same as in Germany :) We invite you to Poland!

POLAND 😍❤️

The average earnings in Poland are three times lower than in Germany, the cost of living and products is twice as low as in Germany. In conclusion, you can save/buy more in Germany than in Poland despite the high costs in Germany, which are offset by the high wage.

During COVID-19 time every company small or big was open online. The stationary shops were closed but everything was sold online. Back then, courier companies were earning millions.

To be fair, many things he mentions are true for most of Europe when compared to the US, like better work life balance or higher food quality, as well as close proximity of many cool places. Europe is relatively small (if we exclude Russia and Alaska Europe is 2 times smaller than USA) and it's just agglomeration of many countries full of well preserved history. The thing is that in minds on many Americans Eastern Europe is this gray, mundane communistic dystopia, when in fact today there is no that much of a difference between countries like Poland or Czechia and Western Europe in term of quality of life.

Jak dla mnie w Polsce jest trochę taniej niż za granicą a poza tym nie przepadam za luksusami więc jest tu dla mnie idealnie👍

12:34 Let's hope it will be in great place, because our eastern neighbors, especially the BIG one can ruin it for us anyday, and it sucks having it in mind 24/7😔😔

Well, now(!) I like living in Poland because it's very safe country now. For old people, for women. Still there are dangerous and not interesting people, but only in special dark places in cities, like in every country, but generally now it is ok. Besides springs and summers in Poland are amazing, wonderfull. Weather is warm, even hot, rivers, trees, generally clean landscapes. Big minuses are autumns and winters. Darkness, rain, coldness... depression. I hate it.

Zawsze kochałam Polskę, niezależnie od okoliczności. Przypomina mi się przepowiednia Ojca Klimuszki, ktory mówił, że Polacy będą wracać do Ojczyzny i że na uczelniach calego świata będzie wykladany jezyk polski, ze Polska będzie jaśnieć na mapie świata.

Witam Chris! Lubię cię bardzo bo jesteś podobny fizycznie i mentalnie do mojego syna. Jesteś otwarty i tolerancyjny jak mój Syn Hubert, a gdybyś go zobaczył powiedział byś że to Twój sobowtór 😊❤

Don't forget that it was Polish cryptologists who broke the Enigma code in 1933 and passed on their knowledge to the French and British in 1939 before the start of the war. Previously, the British had absolutely no idea how to encode the Enigma, and the later work of the British was only a development and extension of the work of the Poles.

EF English Proficiency Ranking 2023: Poland #13. Thats a really good place (its a global ranking - one could say that all countries among the first 20 are good/ok). Many former (political) Eastern Europe countries are catching up very well. In fact together with the smaller Southern like countries (Greece, Portugal etc.) all the Baltics and many of those 'Eastern' countries like Poland, Czech, Croatia evolved very well - while especially the bigger non-Germanic ones like Spain #35, Italy #35, Russia #41, France #43 are surpassed and/or developed much worse (as also everyone with multiuser online game or similar experiences knows). Thats also true for Latin America (which in general are very bad with foreign languages - much worse than the US/Canada). But also here the rather smaller ones are usually more adaptable than the big guys (like Brazil, Mexico

In American, most people don't know Weißbier, and have no idea what is radler or spatzi. Of the hundreds of types of German sausage, Americans only know bratwurst, but some regionals will also have колбаса. There are many people of Polish descent in my area of Wisconsin, and we still hear some Polish words or phrases around the town.

I found a mistake! Poles starts learning English by a nursery school

Well,many tests and comparisons of the first need products were made, and according to that, it looks Germany is often cheaper..Definitely when going to restaurants, prices are extremely high here now.

One should also not forget the big contribution of the EU to the development of Poland. I believe that this contrast becomes evident when comparing to countries such as Belarus and Ukraine.

The concerts he is talking about are free and open-air. There are of course other places to go and listen to music all year round.

7:36 I totally agree xD

Na koniec twojego filmu muszę stwierdzić że rorwijasz się i rozkręcasz coraz lepiej 😊życzę powodzenia 😅❤

When the American guy is kinda CEO in Poland then of course he loves it to live in Poland. But on employee side is not that colourful how you think. Polish engineers can be better and also are cheaper than Americans. Please not believe in beautiful films because I know from many my Polish friends that American companies like to using people to work hard and a lot and pay them maybe little bit more than minimum. This man find a great paradise for him to be sure.. Another thing is Poland is modern and a lot of places are renew and looks stunning but also expensive life, depend how much you earn and what part of country do you live. I really love Poland to visit and spend time with family and friends in nicest places for sure 🤍❤️ Greetings all! 😊

Was mich wundert, ist, warum Sie sich so sehr für Polen interessieren?😊

About tech industry and english, english is first programing language if you're not native :D

Jak dobrze, że nie oglądałeś dziś 13 posterunku, tak mnie denerwuje. Zdecydowanie wole oglądać takie filmy.

Poland ❤❤❤

When first Q&A?

The video of the CEO is really limiting. As typical, a rich capitalistic westener presents to the world that Poland only has value because it is like the west but cheaper and hasn't yet been exploited by the west. Thank you for appreciating Poland and the Polish people Please learn to appreciate Poland for everything else that it is and not just that you have really intelligent cheap labour.

you are German, I am Polish. We both know Americans, including the way how they walk. He he.

We love to live here because of the people and also we hate to live here because of the people :d Also i have been working in IT for last 10 years (i'm 33 now) Women in IT are mostly in human resources ;) Actually this looks like an advert ;d

Everyone forgets that they looking for the prices in our country comparing them to the average salary in their country, for Poles with our average salary, these prices are not low at all unfortunately...

Actually this is one thing Poland has in common with Germany - there always some concert of various even niche music somewhere. In small club, big hall, or festival. I live now in the Netherlands where - beside AWESOME festivals - it is very little of various music events. I think it is because of very high taxes and prices + tooooons of regulations here tho

Masz temat na następny film: Niemcy vs Polska | Porównanie armii 2024 | You have good a topic for the next video: Germany vs Poland | Army Comparison 2024 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-O_dFqsky-i4.html

Nice vid

6:33 You're right. IMO Czech Rep. is most "westernized" or better to say "germanized" slavic country. Much more than Poland. Slovakia is somewhere between Poland and Czech.

California WAS the best part of America. If you do not believe check it out personally

Would you make video about studying in germany?

very good video and very good reaction

as Yourself Do you really have the right to life as a German? especially after what your Prime Minister said today - thus betraying France and Great Britain. According to Scholz, the use of Taurus long-range cruise missiles requires the assistance and presence of German soldiers on Ukrainian territory. - Everyone who has ever dealt with this system knows this - he explained, A German politician revealed that this is what the British and French do with their systems supplied to Ukraine.

Młody zacznij uczyć się języka polskiego 😊

Poland nr1 👍

Chris, don't talk, just come and see 😀

12:00 lol I think by neighbors he means a whole Europe not just bordering countries 😂

He told only about bright side of Poland and IT industry, for insiders it's not so great. We as Poles constanlty comparing ourselves to countries from wetsern Europe and we still see how far behind we are in purchasing power. Yes, prices are lower than in the west, but income is much more lower here. Wages is big problem for majority of Poles.

Poland is not cheap for polish ppl. 600$ its over of half of income is justt a rent for more than 50% of pl ppl. Yeah, if You catch job in IT sector after few years - its low rent - but You need to keep in mind that general population that are not working in IT sector. We are tech spec. with a lot of ideas that can bring income to others, but still... polish is not cheap for regular person. E.g. polish mid. income is around 1100$ brutto - so if your rent is 600$ - 400$ left for taxes and food.

Yes, we are very good employees xD Thats exactly what this man mean.

"The CEO walk" lol

Wiele osób przyjeżdżając tutaj stają się kimś ważniakami u siebie byli zerem nikim patrz moi ulubieńcy Ukraińcy 😊😅😂

Chris, Polish people in their 50s and 60s speak English quite well. The 50-year-olds were at school when communism collapsed, and they started adult life in a country where knowing English made it much easier to start life (and in the 21st century they were 30-40 years old, and they were the ones who were responsible for the international expansion of the Polish economy). In turn, 60-year-olds built the strength of the Polish economy in the 1990s (300% GDP growth in 10 years) and, of course, later, and started their professional careers right after graduation, also in an environment where knowledge of English was a requirement if you wanted to take advantage of the enormous opportunities that were opening up at that time. Moreover, during the Polish People's Republic, English was compulsorily taught in secondary schools and colleges, and in many primary schools it was taught from the 6th grade. That is why Polish people in their 70s and 80s often speak English, although only some of them do it quite well. I am not talking about people who did not want to learn foreign languages because under communism they had no motivation to do so. Of course, young people today know English very well and widely, but neither they nor the current generation of 40 and 30-year-olds are the first to know English widely in Poland. 35 years since the fall of communism and the beginning of a very dynamic transformation is a long time, covering already 5 generations (counting every 10 years) or 3 generations (counting on the principle of grandfather-being -young -adult in 90s - teenage grandchild today), when it comes to professional activity immediately after finishing school, in completely new, dynamic circumstances. And as for Polish programmers/IT ppl and so on: they were also valued very much during communism. So much, that graduates of computer science or cybernetics at Polish universities in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s did not need to have their diplomas recognized in the USA, their diplomas were considered among the best in the world and they were very sought-after graduates. Moreover, Poles were among the first to build (in the world) modern computers, next to the Americans (in the second half of the 1950s), and Polish mathematics departments have been at the forefront of the world for as long as university rankings have existed). For example, the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Warsaw is often in the top five of these rankings, it sometimes took first place. To be fair, I would like to add that IT specialists from Russia and Ukraine are also highly valued around the world, especially graduates of Moscow and Kiev universities, where the level of mathematics is also very high. There is even talk of a "Slavic school of IT", which involves a very in-depth, stubborn and creative approach to solving problems, among others, thanks to a very strong mathematical foundation. This is especially important in the case of challenges such as IT security, military, management of complex operations or the financial industry, where progress must be very fast and errors or omissions are very dangerous.

Well, the flat info is very outdated, 1bedroom apartment costs minimum 1000usd this days. A small Doggy flat studio in a doggy part of Warsaw costs 600usd

Do wideo chyba wyczerpano wszystkie najładniejsze nagrania z miast oraz sklepy, gdzie większość polaków nie chodzi robić zakupów.

Yes, unless you graduated from a field that was not very fruitful, like Archeology... that's my mistake, but thanks to it I became a welder... Quite a necessary profession, especially with qualifications for gas and heat pipes. But the most important thing is programming. 24-year-olds earn PLN 17,000 each, and I, a fool, earn PLN 6000-7,000. Only I, at the age of 37, will soon be the oldest in the brigade because the rest are 60 years old. You don't become a welder after a course, you become a welder after at least a decade. The software may be faulty and cause losses, but it won't kill a person, and a welding error in the structure will. Instead of going on vacation, I go to work in Norway and Germany because there is a shortage of qualified welders. I understand that everyone prefers to be clean and nice, to work in front of a keyboard, but in 30 years you won't have heating, water or buildings, unless you bring people from third world countries... unless wages change. Trivial, but to be a good builder you also need a lot of knowledge, but even more practice. For comparison... you can train a great programmer in five years, but it takes 10 years to become a average construction worker.

Chcesz wiedzieć więcej, a nie rozumiesz polskiego to masz tu kanały na YT - Love my Poland, The First News,

7:05 yes 😂 look at the number of migrants in Germany and France and then compare it to Poland 😂

I understand his satisfaction, but for a Pole who thinks in national terms, it is no pleasure that Poland is a paradise, but only for foreign companies. Polish companies are going bankrupt, Polish industry is practically non-existent, Polish farmers are not profitable to cultivate the land. Only large foreign corporations can find their place here. There is nothing wrong with foreign capital locating in our hospitable country, but it is happening while simultaneously destroying Polish industry and that is not good.

The video seems hella inauthentic. He definitely got paid for that cuz there are so many negative sides about Poland he would have mentioned if it was an actual vlog

He talk only about Warsaw, not other place

Proszę zrób reakcję na serial "stuleci winnych" ,który opowiada o WWI, WWII i czasach Prl-u

Have look History Hiking about WW

Hello my neighbor! How is it going?

your reaction about TOST BREAD buhahah xD

Germany officially legalized cannabis!! Maybe do a video about it, what are you thoughts on this topic? And why is your ruling coalition still getting this bunch of hate despite it's making dreams come true for millions of europeans from other countries??

Chris you have not been to Poland yet? WTF?

❤❤❤😊😊😊

It’s no longer cheaper inPoland than in Germany :(. Unfortunately you still earn much less.

California jest do dupa! 💯

LOL you don't want to live in Poland, trust me

2 minutes ago lol.

Germany 🇩🇪🧠🦾

just et u know poland is in centre of europe not east ;)

Patrzy w przód

Next willa be difreant level

co do cen żywności to pistacje macie w Niemczech tańsze ciekawe

siema

hello greetings plis

🤘🇵🇱🤘

Obejrzyj wspinaczki BNT

Poland is inexpensive only for Westerners.

hellow

Can you react to the song „patointeligencja”? The subtitles are in English as well 😊

BNT - kannst du BNT angucken wo er in Frankfurt Wolkenkratzer geklettert hat.Immer hin denk ich das in Deutschland liebt mann wohler als in Polen,aber in 10 Jahren wer weißt 😉

Chyba jednak lepiej by zamieszkań w Niemczech. Niemcy są dużo bogatsze i bezpieczniejsze na nich nikt tak łatwo nie napadnie. Może opowiedz coś lepiej o swoim pięknym kraju..

you don't :/

No. Most engineers. They are the weakest in English

If you want to take more young viewers, make film about legalize conopia 👉

Nah you don't want to live in Poland😂 I don't think that earning 600€ in a full time job is attractive 😂🤣 I also live in Germany in a Bundesland's capital and we still have the greanest cities:p I've been in multiple polish cities and they are depressing. In Germany every apartment building is painted colorful, on every street we have trees or tiny roadside gardens so yeah the conclusion is clear to me😂

Ceny w Polsce są zbliżone do niemieckich a czasem nawet wyższe

do tego wrzuce jedno zdanie, Sa puktualni, a puktualnosc to, jest swiete przykazanie dla Polakow, pozdrawiam z Koeln i wszystkiego dobrego

dzień dobry... nie wiem. po prostu komentarz...

Well, the big story you can call a war, just for a few months. Are you want to be a part of war story or you take a plane to Tel Awiw.

4:48 this dude is completely wrong I know personally at least 10 ppl with their own companies going through a market like a f tanks if it comes to ai llm or IT i n general... They are waaay upfront of most of the companies/ startups in Europe... We do not need more CEOs like this dude, really...

Is video from about few years ago. 🤔

jako Niemiec nie czujesz sie winny za to co twoi przodkowie wyrzadzili Polakom ,nie uwazasz ,ze powinniscie wy Niemcy zrekonpensowac te straty , ktore Polska poniosla przez wojne wywolana przez was ?

Prrawie dał m muu buzika ...........
