Reaction To Poland Explained! 

Im British and Respect Poland.

The previous month I was in Slovakia for a few days. A week later I visited Germany, France, Spain and Portugal. Europe is beautiful and in each country I found something that delighted me. In the evening after returning to Poland I was driving through Warsaw and the first thing that came to my mind was WOW how clean and modern it is here :D

W 4.09 min. powiedzieli, że Wisła jest najdłuższą rzeką w Polsce, którą dzieli z Białorusią i z Ukrainą. Ciekawi mnie w którym to miejscu skoro Wisła leży w centrum Polski? Po drugie, gdy mówili o południu Polski i górach, dlaczego nic nie wspomnieli o Sudetach? Przecież to są przepiękne , stare góry .

Niech żyje Rzeczpospolita Polska ♥️♥️♥️🔥🔥🔥✌️

Respect for you from Poland. You sacrifice your time and attention on learning about Poland. Thanks and love from Poland, Cracow :)

Most areas which now belong to Lithuania, Belarus and West Ukraine were a Part of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth for centuries and a smaller part of them belonged to Poland also after 1918. As a result , the cultural heritage is very similar We share history, rulers and oppressors, a number of writers, poets and painters, many traditional dishes and similar folklore. One funny thing is that Polish poet- bard from the times of partitions (when Poland didn't exist on the maps) Adam Mickiewicz is considered a Ukrainian bard ,just writing in Polish in Ukraine , a Lithuanian bard ,just writing in Polish in Lithuania, and in Belarus, he is considered a Belorussian bard, who just wrote in Polish😆

Most of poles would say our best border friends are Czechs and Slovaks, both west slavic ppl as we are also. Languages pretty much almost similar. :)

Bro! If you like Polish nature, check Polish Lakeland, enjoy!

If you want to behold something truly amazing in Warsaw, visit Old City with Kings Castle. Keep in mind that all of the city has been razed to the ground by nazis and soviets. After the war Poles rebuilt it as it was before the war. Stunning example of this nation spirit.

I suspect that you were probably Polish in your previous life. 😉

I think we best like Czech and Slovakia:) and Lithuania.

Ma dużo błędów ten film moim zdaniem

3:32 What you see is Morskie Oko / Eye of the See and several peaks surrounding this lake, which are among the highest in Poland. This little "fang" on the right is Mnich / Monk. Slightly to the left is the famous 500-meter wall of Kazalnica, where the most famous future Polish Himalayan climbers gained experience, conquering Mt. Everest, K2, "The Shining Wall of Gasherbrum IV". About 4 hours away from the lake is Rysy, the highest peak in Poland.

Oh brother, listening to all your great questions, I feel like I could talk to you for hours explaining the nuances of Poland, its problems and promises. I’m really glad you find Poland this fascinating, thanks to you I’m finding the love to my home country again.

The Polish alcohol consumption is not excessively high. Below that of Germany, Czechs, Austria, France, Portugal, Slovenia and so forth. Only slightly higher than UK (though we can hold it better, on average). For some reason we have this picture of alcohol abuse. I think it used to be more accurate when we drank less in total, during communism. Anyway, watch yourself around the Polish party girls. They drank many foreigners under the table... ;-)

Obejrzyj sobie filmy z wyjazdu Polskej Straży Pożarnej do Szwecji . Pomagaliśmy tam gasić płonące lasy. Zobaczysz jak na nas reagowali.

Oj chyba te miliony wyjechały wcześniej, teraz coraz więcej ludzi wraca do Polski. Obserwuję to w mojej pracy. To już nie te czasy, że można zwalać na rząd, myślę, że świadomość ludzi zmienia się. Polacy biorą odpowiedzialność za decyzje co do kierunku zawodowego i standardu jaki chcą mieć w życiu. Dzieciaki uczą się przedsiębiorczości już w szkole podstawowej, potem w liceum i na studiach. Co zaradniejszy Polak zarabia coraz więcej, wyjeżdża na wakacje i cieszy się tym co ma, bo poziom jego zadowolenia wzrasta. Rozumiem, że ktoś może narzekać. Naprawdę rozumiem, bo jestem Polką i znam tę mentalność. Dla mnie osobiście ważne jest to, żeby ludzie myśleli nie tylko o sobie, ale o przyszłości tego narodu. Jestem za tym, żeby oprócz bogacenia się, ludzie myśleli o tworzeniu zdrowych rodzin.

Don't ask Poles about politics because you will have huge arguments ;) We are probably hard-working because somewhere unconsciously we think what our country would be like if it weren't for World War II and communism. We mainly export food, we are probably the largest exporter of apples in the world. Polish food is considered healthy. Then electromachines, the furniture industry and silver and copper. We are investing in armies because our neighbor is Russia, and we will probably have to help Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia in the event of a conflict. German analysts said that NATO has 6 years to prepare for war with Russia and we are NATO's eastern flank. If this war breaks out, it will be fought here, and we know from experience that nothing deters the Russians like force. They have to be afraid to be respected.

Please don't get too attached to the Polish names the narrator says, because he didn't pronounce a single name correctly, and he said most of them so badly that if I hadn't watched the video where the names were displayed, I wouldn't have had any idea what he was talking about.

Poznaj Zakopane, Solinę czy Kudowę Zdrój. Analogicznie to góry: Karpaty, Bieszczady, Sudety. Ale nie jest tak, że góry mamy jedynie pa południu Polski. Mamy piękne wyżynne tereny moreny dennej na Mazurach - pamiątka po zlodowaceniach. Najwyżyszy punkt Góra Dylewska 312 m - dobre miejsce do uprawiania sportów zimowych. Roztocze we wschodniej Polsce - miejsce magiczne. Góry Świętokrzyskie - w centrum kraju. Polska jest krajem zróżnicowanym krajobrazowo. Zle zasada jest taka - im bardziej na południe tym wyżej.

About education in Poland. I come from Lublin, a city in eastern Poland. we have as many as 5 universities here, studies in Poland are free, so most of my friends study. There are pros and cons to this. Indeed, the level of education and knowledge in Poland is high, especially when compared to the level of education in the countries of my friends abroad. However, the bad thing is that higher education ceases to mean much on the labor market. Poland and especially university cities are a factory of students, the problem is work for educated people because there are many of them. Many people with higher education apply for one position. In other countries where studies are paid, a university diploma means more, there are fewer people with a diploma and it is easier to find a job. So there are two sides of the coin.

2006 working in Poland warehouse wage after tax: 123 GBP/ month, 1 month later working in uk this same job, 1100 gbp/ month, currently UK around 1700 GBP, Poland 840 GBP, but of course you need to add factors like, food price in UK lidl is 60 % more expensive, the nursery cost in Poland is 100 gbp/ month, every child get wage from 0 to 18 years, from gov 160 gbp/ per month.

2:18 Czechia 😍 With my whole heart. I'm at least once a year in Czech Republic. I always repeat that if I had to move from Poland I would choose Czech Republic. Even during last visit I was joking to receptionist in hotel (after question if dinner was ok) that for me Czech cuisine is "like Polish but better". 4:10. There isn't any part of Wisła shared with Belarus or Ukraine. Border with Belarus is on Bug river. There are 2 springs White Vistula and Black Vistula (Vistula is English for Wisła) and they joins in Czerniańskie Lake where Vistula starts. 5:30 Warsaw Uprising Museum, Łazienki Park, Wilanów Palace, Royal Castle, Old Town. 6:35 Dangerous topic. 9:28 Well... 10:35 Yes, colours comes from coat of arms but we like to say white is for purity and red for our blood. 15:42 Fun fact: we joined NATO and the EU thanks to the rule of former communists...

As a pole living in UK for 10 years already I can say polish health care is bad but english NHS is far worse. Much work to do so in both countries

I like Czech, Slovakia, Lithuania. I hate Gemrany, Ukraine, Russia Neutral about Belarus

want to visit Warsaw you saying ? I would recomend to visit Krakow instead XD

We actualy hate Russia and Belarus, the rest of them are good but with awful history (I mean Germany)

If you want to visit Warsaw, the best thing you can do there is buy a ticket to Wroclaw:) joke

White symbolized "the goodness and purity of the aspirations of the Polish nation", and red "the dignity and majesty of Polish rulers". In heraldry, white is a symbol of purity, loyalty, humility and nobility. Red means love, bravery, zeal and sacrifice. The colors of the Polish flag have this meaning.

Pozdrawiam z Podlasia.🦬

My friend, our gov gave 500 zł monthly for second and every another child. Before elections gov propose about 800 zł per month. Sadly this doesn't work so well and our birth rate drop. Our wemen don't want to have kids. Instead of this they protest for abortion rights.

Vistula is like spine of poland. We don't share it with Belarus or Ukrain.

In the mountain regions I went to Zakopane MANY times Its a beautiful city next to the mountains pretty much. But the best place about the mountain regions HAS TO BE "The eye of the sea" the air, the sights ALL so frickin beautiful and I would go there a million times again. Check in Google images... but then again images don't show what real life does.

(Google translate) When contacting Poles, we must remember that we had a very turbulent history. From the Russian Homage and the Prussian Homage to political disappearance, return by defeating the USSR, then conquering by the USSR, then breaking away from the USSR. This is why many Poles have a minority complex towards Western Europe, which is why you can find so many Poles slandering their country, even though we really have nothing to be ashamed of and can even be proud of.

Thank you for your video. I recommend you to visit Zakopane. All the best from Zakopane.

Narrator butchering the names I'm actually struggling to understanding 😂

Ok we say that we were betrayed in 1945, but there’s a Polish saying “nie ma tego złego co by na dobre nie wyszło” (theres no Bad thing, That cant be turn into good or you can also translate as: all bad will eventually turn into good) we at least had a country, not yet independent and sure we lost territory to the East but we were give territory to the West. Unfortunately, many of our soldiers of the war were killed and their families deported deep into Russia, but now many of those people offsprings are coming back to Poland 🙂

Polak Węgier dwa bratanki i do szabli i do szklanki! We're best bros with Hungary :)

Poland have everything from sand dunes to mountains and lakes regions, even a region with lakes in mountains "Małopolska & Podkarpacie" regions

As it is rather flat country it was often a place to have a war between other countries. Government gives for each kid about ~120$ but not the money is problem. Lack of proper medical care for kids - from abortion, invitro fund blocked, even few mothers died in hospital because of kid must be born (even if it is dead/very ill already). Economy in an effect of lat 5 years activity so next 5 years will show how actual government was managing the country - in my opinion not so good. A lot of free money for nothing to too much people. We have inflation +50% of daily goods since 3 years ....

I've been tuning into your channel for a fair while now, and you've really got me appreciating Poland even more. But let's zero in on one particularly splendid aspect - our Polish lasses. They're drop-dead gorgeous, always well-kempt, and often quite resourceful. Why not see for yourself? Hop on a plane to Poland, settle in, meet the folks. The charm of Polish women is guaranteed to knock your socks off, mate!

4:16 there is mistake - border river between Poland and Belaus and Ukraine is 'Bug' not Wisla. Wisla (Vistula) is 1st biggest polish river and the 2nd is Odra - on polish - german border

Zawsze miło, że obcokrajowiec widzi tyle dobrego w Polsce. Ja, będąc polakiem, nie zawsze widzę to tak pozytywnie. Nasz rząd (nieważne który) zwykle nie jest najlepszym wyborem. Kluczem do sukcesu, jest większość społeczeństwa, które obciążone dziedzicznie trudną historią, jest zaradna, szybko przystosowująca się do zmian, odważna w podejmowaniu trudnych decyzji, wytrwała w walce z przeciwnościami. Niestety obciążenie historią skutkuje też wadami - nieufność (gość jest mile widziany, emigrant jest zagrożeniem), pesymizm (ciągłe narzekanie na wszystko), egoizm (na szczęście tylko w drobnych codziennych sprawach), kompleks niższości (aż trudno uwierzyć, że Brytyjczyk jest zafascynowany naszym krajem). Pozdrawiam 🙂

Last 8 years right winged party called law&justice (name is a scum, this party shouldt be called lawlessness and injustice) done eveything AGAINST polish economy growth.Only hard work of Polish nation let us suceed

Greatings to scotsman 🙂 in 1989 average salary was 40usd. In 2023 ,avereg salary is 1200usd. Imagin ,how many buckfasts can avareg ned drink 😆

For me, as a Pole, the Czech Republic and Slovakia are my favorite neighbors ❤

There are many errors in that film. Vistula is Polish river. Not bordering witch Ukrain and Belarus. Wrocław and Poznań are bigger cities than Gdańsk. Zatoka Szczecińska Has the same name on German side but in language. And many more

It is not corect, where is Wrocław 3rd biggest city and where is Katowice aglomerstion??? As to mountains they did not mention Sudety, badicaly whole South is mountains

Yes, government tries to do sth about births in Poland (like 500+ program which gives every family 500 złotych for every child every montch until they stop their education) but it is not working very well. Polish people dont like large families, we prefer to have 1-2 children and money dont really change too much for us

The health service in Poland is state-owned, so - no matter how much money is invested in it - it will never work well. Without going into economic details - such a structure is of a socialist type and does not generate the so-called price information, therefore - as shown by prof. Mises - it is never likely to work well. As for the number of children being born - it is a cultural issue and not something that the government could influence. The currently ruling left-wing PiS government has introduced a child allowance, which of course did not increase the number of children born. Moreover, in times when Poland was poor, many children were born - 4 children in a family was the norm. It's not a matter of money. The richer societies are, the fewer children are generally born. Finally, the history of Poland was presented very briefly and not always accurately. For example, World War II began not only with the attack of Germany but also of the Soviet Union (September 17). There is no mention of John Paul II as having helped bring down communism (as did Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan). And in 1989 there were no free elections, only the so-called contractual - with a guaranteed number of places for communists.

if we talking about favourite country we have border for me it will be 1st Czech and Slovakia, 3rd place for Lithuana, 4th germany i guess ( at least todays germany) Ukraine and Belarus 5th and 6th, and at least favourite of course Russia, at least for this days

then you are a tourist, because the economy runs on loans, Poland has already been declared bankrupt, and the debt is USD 6 trillion. name 5 famous Polish companies with their own factories built after socialism, i.e. 1989, can you?

Let's hope it won't be worse with Poland after the elections 2023 ... The recent facts, unfortunately, show us a different scenario ...

Thank You for Your videos. Love from Warszawa, Polska.

Having lived in both Poland an Uk, I can tell ya that both are around the same, both having advantages and disadvantages. For example i would live to see more of a Uk implementation of Healthcare. Also the schooling system is in my opinion better in Uk. Polish schooling system is very outdated and based on old communist philosophies. Whereas GCSE'S and having to choose your career from the get go is a pretty good, also techers not having any examintory power is pretty dope. In Poland you can get screwed over a lot smply by a teacher having a problem with you for whatever reason.

2 Fun Facts about Poland: - Not even one Polish word in the moovie was pronounced properly. - Poland is a "She", not an "It" 😄

Yes we do have a favorite neighbor ☺️ we love our southern neighbors Czechs & Slovaks 🤗❤ Czechs to us sound funny, but in a cute way, like a child speaking first words and mispronouncing Polish lol 🥰 it sounds so similar to Polish & Slovaks are decent people and we couldn’t ask for better neighbors ❤.

The guy who made that video doesn't seem to know much or anything about Poland (either that or that's an old video, for example Poland's population growth is currently very high due to the influx of Ukrainians and other migrants coming in to the country) Also his pronunciation of Polish words is beyond atrocious, I can't tell if he's trolling or just saying random letters but it sounds nothing like the actual words

When visiting Warsaw, you must start at the Warsaw Uprising Museum. When visiting Warsaw, you must start at the Warsaw Uprising Museum. Then the entire Royal Route, starting in Wilanów, Łazienkowski Park ending in the Old Town.

One piece of advice - don't ask about politics in Poland. Unless you want to have a Polish-Polish war in the comments ;)

btw, Scottish sounds a bit like if a traditional Bavarian speaks English. in fact if one compares dialects in UK than one can find many similarities to German dialects. Thats not only due to the relation of the two languages but also because how different regions over the time tend to evolved (often due to shorten languages and habits) dialects. Likely one could also find similar structures and vocalitions between different dialects between Germany and Poland as well - if one calculate the different languages out and keeps the focus on the vocal, consonant. building etc. ...

Damn i know you can misspell words quite a bit and still making sense but that pronounciation is just horrible. Wouldn't ynderstand my native tongue.

There is also second meaning of colours of polish flag.The color white stands for spiritual and moral values ​​such as purity and immaculateness. The color red is a symbol of fire and blood, it means courage and bravery. The same for emblem.

That video was really good but with one big flaw. They misspronounce every polish word

Both Warsaw and Cracow (current and former capitols) are on Vistula river.

The previous government tried to improve fertility rate - for the first time, they introduced almost unconditional benefits for parents. That didn't make much of a change though. We'll see what the new government does and if it has any effect. At the time, it seems our best hope for sustaining population numbers is to take in migrants from foreign countries.

Health services are great if you have money and pay cash otherwise it's pain in the a... You would die waiting for operation...

Nice to see a scottish lad being a fan of Poland. As Pole Im a fan of Scotland coz you peaple are tough, not like those english cowards

Having Polish heritage, I've noticed a persistent pattern of emigration over the centuries, especially when Poland was occupied from the late 18th century following the partitions and when it became free of Soviet control around 1989. In 1939, Poland had a population of 36 million. In 2023, it's touching 39 million, hardly a population boom (and that's with 2 million Ukrainians entering since Russia declared war on Ukraine.) Like any emigrants, the Poles were/are seeking greener pastures. Did you know that the second most spoken language in England is Polish? Got that from a BBC documentary.

The old government tried to change the birth rate but honestly women are scared to have children because of how expensive that is, abortion is allowed only in certain situations and invitro was not allowed. Now things are changing and for example invitro is going to be refunded by the government, so I think that more women will have children

You give lots of in my heart.. many english speaking videos do.. from my friends I just hear many complains.. it is politically very strongly polarised and fighting with each other about some minor issues.. I never thought of polish health service as being good.. it is one of the isuues issues requiring most urgent health but nobody even mentioned this problem during elections. Only accusations of colaborating with russians, abortion, religion, world view issues.. something politics shouldn't care much about. I laughed when you asked which of the neighbouring countries we like, . It is wrong question to a Pole. But you quickly corrected yourself.. which countries you don't like? Education.. hm .. I actually left poland 15 years ago.. so then I was learning English in school for 6 years.. I could not say one sentence straight when I went to England for voluntary work. I will go soon back to Poland from korea.. that would be interesting to make video about it. All the differences between now and 15 years ago as well as between your internet hyper optimism and reality I will face finding job, flat, sending kidz to school

For now, the previous prime minister does not want to give up power. :D We will have to wait a while longer before the new government can prove itself. But it won't get any worse.

How is Vistula shared with Belarus and Ukraine?

Poles like Slovakia and Czech, but they not to much likes poles😊

white stad for; pureness and inocens red for blood spild in fight of independence; and thats whay red is on bottom coz bood sink to the ground

Education in Poland on every level is very good and it’s very safe in schools and overall❤ So if you plan on having kids, it’s a good place to be😉 and since in Poland we have a bit of a population crisis, please come and have a family here 🤗😆

Thank you for promoting my homeland. Also my cousins sons are living in scotland :)

i wish the author of the poland explained video hadn't tried to pronounce polish place names cause it sounds nothing like that and is misleading

Education level in Poland may be very high but the system itself is terrible and old

I wish one day you came to f.e Warsaw or Cracow and make a vlog video 😃 (but maybe not in winter 😅)

Warsaw's best attractions: Well-known: -Old Town (Śródmieście district): beautiful castle with its square, located in cozy medieval centre of the city. Rebuilt after WW2, when Germans completely wiped it out. -Nowy Świat and sub streets (Śródmieście district): atmosphereful streets with lots of bars, cafés, food, and clubs. Highly recommended at the evening and weekend if possible. -Vistula Bank (Śródmieście district): statue of Warsaw's mermaid and long concrete stairs where you can admire the river and other bank of river and drink beer legally. Great similar spot - Poniatowski's beach (Praga Południe district). The other one to drink beer and maybe some barbecue. Those are highly recommended to visit in summer and also at evening. -Palace of Culture and Science (Śródmieście district): souvenir from soviet times. Now place for theater and great sight tower. -Łazienki park (Śródmieście district): literally bathrooms park. Name might be misleading, as it's place built by king August Poniatowski - the last polish king, as the place to grow polish high culture. Absolutely stunning place. -Warsaw's uprising museum (Wola district): one of the most modern museums in the country. It tells heroic and moving story about uprising, our city orchestrated against occupation in times of WW2. Absolutely must visit on your visiting list. Less known (not that obvious): -Wilanowski's Palace of king Jan 3rd Sobieski (Wilanów District): majesty Palace that once belonged to one of our greatest kings. It takes some effort to get there, but it's totally worth it. Highly recommended to come at the time of night lights exhibitions. -Business centre (Śródmieście and Wola districts): Just some skyscrapers, but pretty interesting compared to surrounding soviet-style area. Recommended to take a walk in some free time. -Polin, polish Jews museum (Śródmieście district): another museum worth visiting. It presents polish Jews struggles among the times of history. -Jana Pawła avenue (Śródmieście and Wola districts): Warsaw's halls of sin (don't get scared). It gives a feeling of a districts copy-pasted from Cyberpunk game. You can enjoy a cheap Kebab or Hindu food, from container placed gastronomy, enjoy neons and or get into one of these cheesy stores. -Old FSO cars factory (Praga Północ district): post soviet Era car factory, now falling into ruins (don't worry, it's safe). You can enjoy Stalker like atmosphere there and go to the climateful shooting range if you want -Bemowo prefabr hoods (North part of Bemowo District): another place for a walk in free time, you can easily access with 20, 23 and 24 tram from the center. Historical apartments from Gierek's Era of building boom. Recommended if you are into soviet style building -Kijowska street (Praga Północ district): some old buildings that haven't been destroyed during the uprising. Great place to feel old character of pre-war Warsaw -Francuska street (Praga Południe district): another gastronomy place. You can enjoy high quality food from around the world. It's worth visit to get known with the Warsaw's rich community. They present newest Europe's trends in fashion, lifestyle and cousine and Francuska street is the home for large part of that community. -Moczydło Park (Wola district): worth to visit at Sunday morning, when there's a flee market at its corner. This is stunning park that looks like copy-pasted from a Fairy Tale. You can enjoy idyllic life of families and children playing around there, tamed water birds getting along with humans and elderly people fishing casually.

Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱 ❤

Today is democraty country 🙌🤘🤘🤩💪🏻🥳🥳🥳

you have to visit us bro :)

in 2.10 this maps shows why we are central Europe not eastern

I can’t wait for you to move to Poland and make a video blogs from Poland🤗 ❤

The death rate is high due to high confiodence in health services...

UK is an Island, we are not and Russua and war in Ukrainę require more investment

The best thing to do in Warsaw is buying a train ticket to Cracow ;)

One of the most beautiful railway stations in Poland- Przemyśl city with paintings on walls .

the neighbor country Poland loves most is Germany -- which is why Germany has the biggest Polish Diaspora in Europe (2-3 Million). But like with every relationship if one partner seems to dominate and some more complicated past is involved, plus pragmatic everyday habits arose and appear more functional, people have problems to express their love and tend to chose harmless smaller neighbors affairs - and/or 'friends' which appear more similar ;)

There is a lot of cities along WIsła river that are worth visiting. The most obvious are Warsaw - the capital, Kraków - the old capital, Sandomierz - one of the oldest towns in Europe and Toruń - place where Copernicus was born.

In my opinion, the best Polish city to visit is the former capital, Kraków, which boasts beautiful architecture and many monuments.❤

Pomyśl sobie że dwuch cię atakuje to dla nas Polaków jest ważne by mieć mocną armię by się bronić przed Rosią i Niemcami bo oni zawsze się dogadali co z tą Polską

I would visit Zakopane, Kraków, Ustka (summer), Gdańsk (summer), Wroclaw :)

healh service doesnt exist in poland. . .

I recomend you to go to the place named "Łazienki Królewskie" its a beautiful park near castle on the water if I remember corectly. And there are friendly squirells which can come to you sometimes.

yet another great reaction , thank you , when you decide to visit Poland hust get in touch with one or many of your followers , we will show you in close how welcoming we can be , hope to see you soon

wpierdol is most exported product 😅

Can health services in Poland be worse? If you want to go to medical specialist, you have to wait some years or you can go to the same doctor in private clinic, pay him and wait a month. And remember that you pay 9% of your salary for public health care.
