Hahaha You really think other EU countries are sefty? hahaha

Czuję się jakoś dziwnie – Polaków traktuje się jak odkrycie sezonu, dziwnych kosmitów, którzy właśnie wylądowali na planecie ziemia. Każdy się dziwi, że mamy smaczne, zdrowe jedzenie, czyste miasta, nowoczesną komunikację i budownictwo? Przecież od wojny przeleciało kilkadziesiąt lat. Był czas na odbudowę i organizację kraju. To nie stało się w pięć lat.Gonimy za Zachodem i modlimy się, żeby Niemcy i Rosja znów nas nie zdemolowali – a jest to bardzo prawdopodobne. Więc dziwcie się, jak Polacy są waleczni, niezłomni, pracowici w odbudowie kraju, jak mrówki. Nie mamy innego wyjścia.

For me McDonald's has terrible food. Whereas I know meat is obtained from waste. I wonder how bad the food must be elsewhere if Polish McDonald's is rated good. No one will ever convince me to eat at McDonald's.
The Polish language is characterized by a larger vocabulary, so things, realities, events can be described more romantically or dramatically, etc. Listen to Polish music. Many foreigners claim that it is better at listening than the famous French or Spanish. This is such an interesting fact.

Polish is not a simple language. In my opinion, English is a simplified language. That's probably why, for example, English is the easiest language to learn. Often a given word is a compound of two words. One word describes what you see and the other describes what the item does. In the Polish language, the origin of words often goes back hundreds of years, hence they are unique words and one object can be described in many ways. Often, the method of description depends on the situation in which a given expression is used. For example, we can describe the number 2 in over 10 ways.

Maybe Polish is hard to speak but may be quite easy to learn to read it. All wards are read as they are written. It only looks like it's hard but it's not. We've got sounds that are written with two letters: sz sounds like sh (shoes), cz sounds like ch (choice), dż sounds like j (juice)…. We don't have letter v. V sound is written as W letter (that's why Wódka has w and not v). We have w sound, but it's written as Ł. We have two strange letters and sounds: ą and ę, but even them have some equivalent in other language – try to say French "bon ton" or "bon apetite" it will sound like "bą tą", "bą apetit". It's all seams to be complicated but in fact it's not. And again – we pronounce as we write. This is a huge advantage in learning Polish. The only question is who would and what for :). Best!

wtf, gdzie wy ludzie mieszkacie xD 10:00 normalnie chore rzeczy mówcie, jak można się bać wychodząc z własnego domu? bezpieczeństwo to jest podstawa xD Raz przejechałem pół polski pijany autobusami, i nawet mi włos z głowy nie spadł xD jeśli jesteś normalny nie zaczepiasz ludzi, nie denerwujesz ich to możesz i na drugim końcu kraju poznać nowych zajebistych ludzi, z którymi spędzisz niezapomniane chwile, i nigdy więcej ich nie spotkasz, nie wiem im dłużej słucham od tych zachodnich ludzi, o ich problemach z wychodzeniem z domu po zmierzchu, tym bardziej mam ochotę pozostać w moim kraju, nie potrzebuje nic więcej xD

I love when so called westerners discover that polish people don't sleep in a caves and fight bears for food.

Modern Polands reputation is a victim of it's unprecedented growth. I'm 33 years old as of today, and was born less than a year after polands transformation of 89. I remember the extreme poverty of the 90s, and 2000s very well. Let me tell you it was extremely scetchy back then. In 2008 or 2009 i got shanked in my forearm for refusing to hand over my cheap ass phone. And let's just say I could see thestrals because of those times. But now I look around and I'm very pleased with my country. Me and my girlfriend done like 10km on foot in the middle of the night in Kraków after a concert that we couldn't hope to afford a decade ago and the biggest problem we had was if we could find a store for some after party beer. And it was freaking beautiful too. There was fresh,crunching snow, christmas decorations and lit up architecture. In my lifetime poland changed so much I can barely believe it, and I live here. No wonder other people don't know about it or don't believe it.

Poland uber alles. 🙂

Szczecin! Finally in your 2nd video I understood where you went. It is pronounced like "Shchesin".
