Locals! What do you love and hate about living Poland? Leave a comment with your thoughts!
Love - security, people, development. Hate - politicians, especially right-wingers
Love; security, food, people, good propolish governement. Hate; weather.
Love- people, food, environment, security, recently even the government. Hate- left wing politicians and so called "activists". Greetings from Wrocław ;)
weather January-March is really depressing; everything else hmm I would say we should complain less
Love - nature, development. Like - history (there some things, what we can be ashamed with like each nation), Hate - politicians from both sides and right and left wingers.
Me and my wife spend one week in Gdansk in September of 2019. That was one of the greatest our vacation. During that one week I understood, that we would easily addapt in Poland. Lovely country, polite people, everything is just awesome. We felt like we are at home. Maybe because of long together history of our countries- we are from Lithuania. Anyway, long live Poland. We love You ❤!!!
I’ve been to Lithuania, too. Vilnius to be specific. Lovely nation. 👍
Thank you mate, we love you too and we share a big and amazing history together, apologies for those few misunderstandings we may have had in between and as of our current generations our friendship cannot be stronger.
Cheers from Gdańsk.
You can adapt but system is awfully I leave country 7ywars ago and I regret that I do it so late
Schools every year problem with teachers salary
Hospitals doctors we have really good if you go private clinic , if you rely on public you die knock to the door and anybody care
Law - this is crazy like a hell ,orchard are communist choose era people ( without wisdom only belong to Russia army was onligated)
Police, other clerks - avoid and not trust they rather not help if someone have some intelligence go to another job here is only place for people who listen goverment
Salaries - you can have best scores, 2 languages and still have nothing less that cleaner on the west
( my salary in school 700 e , casino like a croupier 1000e
Now I working in iceland I have 3000e )
Enjoy 3mln polish people leave this place not without reason
we love you too
The thing about Wrocław is that you can live there fast, work alot, party and meet bunch of people. At the same time you also don't have to, there is a low paced side of this city, that you can always switch to.
Working hard and going directly from the office to the beach bar with friends to slow things down. This is mentality I saw here and I love it.
People are the biggest asset of this city, they are amazing.
There's really this kind of vibrant energy about the city that makes it an attractive place to be. It's got the old world charm of Krakow, minus the hoards of tourists.
I'm glad that you like my country and enjoy living in Poland.
We're happy you're here ❤
Poland is a great country. Thank you for your hospitality. 🙏
As an Irish person living in Wrocław I only have good things to say about the place. It’s a truly beautiful city and it’s an amazing place to live and study.
Good to hear that. I'm from Wrocław but live in Cork for the last 18 years 😀
I've been wanting to go to Poland for over a decade and your video just reinforced that desire, Jon! Great to see a different way of sharing the country with the rest of us. Thank you!
Thanks for watching Tara. 🙂
lots of love from Poland
Nice which part of Poland?

Poland is beautiful and its people are good long live you from Algeria
Thanks for watching the video from Algeria!
Thank you for coming to Wrocław. This is my city, So, it is a good idea to know and to talk to foreigners what they think about Wroclaw. I think Wroclaw is the perfect place for a quiet and slow life in Poland.
Thanks for watching! It was my second time in Wrocław and I really enjoyed getting to see more of it. It's a really undiscovered gem for most tourists.

For me this year I must visit Poland probably in summer ! Lovely 🎉🎉
Make sure to visit Wrocław if you do. 👍
I can tell you something...
If you would like to visit some history and modern city- go to Warsaw.
If you would like to go back to the 90' in Poland and see also modern city- go to Wrocław
If you would like to see real polish architecture, historic places- go to Cracow
If you would like to see how can we change ugly city for real modern city in 30 years what you can't to find anywhere in Europe- go to Poznań.
If you would like to see some history, modern city and sometimes go back to 90'- go to Gdańsk.
I recommend every city of them.
If you think or you should to go.... I was in Poznań and Wrocław yesterday and one week ago- You can't find this flow anywhere in Europe. I live in Germany, but in Germany people think always about myself and they are going straight. In Poland you can see everything and how time is going slowly include fun, relax, peace, beautiful views and brilliant food. You will never forget this journey. Look out, you can fall in Love! It is danger, because your next vacations after first time will be only in Poland ;) Your own risk. Believe me, you've never seen that all what is happen in Poland and how friendly people can be.
Ja, det är vackert där du bor
Nice, but keep in mind that many big cities in summer have a completely different vibe. It’s because students are leaving them for a vacation and also many Poles travel around the country and the World in general. Cities have a nice holiday feeling, fueled by tourists and teenagers, kids who live there a whole year. On the other hand when you visit in May-June, you will get the best experience, students live, chilling in parks, beautiful people, optimism around because of the Summer holiday season coming and good weather. But, it will be crowdy. So you have to choose or visit more than once ;)
Awwww ale nasi Polacy pięknie mówią po ang
Poland is a treasure until you go you will have no idea how people behave, carry themselves and what a beautiful country. The President is world class full of class.
Polish people are awesome. They’ve always been nice to me. 👍
I am very happy to hear such positive opinions about my city. I myself have a friend in Wroclaw who came here from England. Welcome guys !
I'm glad that we Polish speak so great in English. Even tho is our second or third language in depends of the person.
Cool. One of the most informative video about the Wroclaw. You just ask people on streets about life in a city and they tell you about main features.
Unlike many videos which are created in the "style of pink ponies" where all things are cool and best and there are no any problems in the city. Each city has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Thanks a lot for the input and nice promotion of my country. Wrocław is one of the better cities in Poland, and whole Silesian and Lower Silesian region is very good. Try visiting Katowice its not that far from Wrocław. Other cities I'd visit would be Poznań - kinda similar vibes to Wrocław and Gdańsk/Gdynia/Sopot (its call triple/triangle city - they are very close to each other - near Baltic Sea) - greats cities with friendly people and a lot of stuff to do, and also a lot of foreigners, so should be easy to communicate.
Love ❤️ and Greatings from ya Hungarian brother’s and sisters !
This is Wroclaw !!! I live here !!
I am from Krakow and I was once in Wrocław. I love this city, I feel like it's a better more compact version of Krakow without the smog
Qompany's comment below should be taken with a pinch of salt. They use 'we' as if they speak for the entire nation. They do not. There are 38 million people in Poland and while some will share their views, many feel the opposite way and welcome the fact that Poland is gradually becoming more international. Even the most patriotic Poles will recognise on some level that having a country people want to come to is preferable to having one that people want to leave, as was the case until recently.
You should know that Poland for 1100 y of its newest history was multinational and multi-religious country with a huge minorities of people from everywhere. Rzeczpospolita (our Republic) was a mother for everybody wanted to share its values and culture. Even now we have our local Muslims (extremely patriotic and having great meritorious service to the motherland). Ethnic homogeneity is something new for our country and it is not the Poles' fault that our country lost 1/3 of its territory and that it was put under Soviet rule for 43 years. It is in our genes to be tolerant and to measure people solely by their merits and not by their origin, religion or skin colour. Regards.
Wrocław is something else compared to other cities in Poland it has everything you desire of.
the university is❤️
Wrocław has my heart
thank you for this video
Appreciate it Adrian. 🙏
The people you interviewed where are they from?
Wrocław
What I meant was.. what countries they were originally from ?
I always find it comical that primarily white countries have to justify their diversity and inclusion. Does anyone ask the Chinese or Indians, or Nigerians how diverse they are?
Nice point.
what country from is this blond lady from bakery ?

Recently i went from silesia to Wrocław for a 1 day trip for the christmas market, we were watned several times of theives, but its not important. It was a class trip and we had about 3h45m of free time and i was shocked to basically see like 1/2 of people being foreginers.
Wrocław is the historic capital of Silisia. So how did you go from Silisia to Wrocław?
@@ekesandras1481 You know there's silesia (capital city being Katowice) and lower silesia (where wrocław is). Srsly its just a quick google.
@@jakubmleczko5117 as an Austrian I was not aware of today's division of historic Silisia in three different administrative regions with confusing names: so Upper Silisia is today called Silisia with Katowice as capital, than there is Oppeln just called województwo opolskie with Opole as capital and Lower Silisia with Wrocław as captial.
@@ekesandras1481 its okay
@@jakubmleczko5117 No, there is Upper Silesia,Opole Silesia and Lower Silesia.If You use term "Silesia" it is for Historical lands which starts near Oświęcim and ends near Zielona Góra, and historical capital of Silesia is Wrocław! Stop stealing name silesia only for Katowice region....
1:12 anyone knows where is this beautiful girl from? I can't tell from her accent but I bet on Sweden or NL
Lublin is amazing as well.
I’ve not been yet. I’ll have to go the next time!
My city
Very good
Thanks Miles. 🙏
Polan is clean. Iykwim...
That breaks my heart hearing the young gentleman talking about feeling like an alien and having to prepare to run or fight, due to some people. That is definitely not the Poland I know and I want to personally apologize to him for ever even feeling that way.
I've spent a lot of time in Poland myself and personally I've had no problems. Listening to his experience though was a bit surprising.
Happy to See you video i live in JAPAN BUT I 💕 WROCŁAW MY FAMILY LIVE THER HAPPY YOU ENJOY,
nice video my friend
I think it would be good to in poland in a city such as Poznan, Warsaw, Wroclaw or Krakov but it's so cold -4 already in November when I was there..! I don't like the cold.
Personally, I'm a fan of the snow! But that's just because I never grew up in such an environment.
Lato do +35°C, łagodna zima od 5°C do -8, mroźna zima -20. Kiedyś -30
Amazing video but the people trying to talk and your self always had really low voice is. Not sure if that was just my quality or sound mixing
Thanks for watching and subscribing. Feel free to let me know if the sound quality on some of my newer videos aren't good either. Appreciate it!
About Polish Patriots who came from other nationalities
and their parents were foreigners when they came to Poland.
--- Prof. Jaroszyński explains that this is a matter rarely encountered in other nations. Why?
--- Maybe we have something in ourselves that is of extraordinary value to others?
... From 3 minutes about Polish patriots czcams.com/video/aZnYWhs21zI/video.html
--- Now the admission of 6 million Ukrainians within 10 months of 2022 is unprecedented.
--- Maybe in a few years there will be a new such patriot ... maybe???
--- Runners will share and maybe more than 60% with children will stay in Poland, because children get used to Polish customs.
--- Here everyone has better material conditions, they were shown cordiality, support in trouble. There is also no corruption of officials and we have an easier, more honest life in Poland than in Ukraine. Patriotism of foreigners in 2023 She married a Pole 12 years ago.
She was a young, smart and pretty American mulatto. czcams.com/video/9mRKXQ-sky8/video.html
--- Her children are 100% Polish, because they grew up here, although they probably have 6-18% African genes.
Both she and her husband teach in Polish about spirituality and the properties of the pineal gland in the human brain.
--- I personally know the case of Konstanty Z. Hanff, born in Częstochowa of a Russian mother and a Dutch father.
--- He fell in love with Poland and all his friends accepted him unconditionally.
He was a GREAT POLISH patriot working for Poles during the occupation, because the Germans treated him differently.
He did a lot of good in the underground environment in Poland, which he NEVER bragged about, as well as in emigration to the USA, because due to the subsequent Soviet occupation, he had to leave his homeland.
--- He worked for the Polish community until the end of his life and had several book publications.
--- Here is the CIA report which he extracted after declassification and where he made public the traitors spying on Poles abroad.

Jest może jakieś tłumaczenie tego wszystkiego na polski?
💓
Nice
Thanks!
I love Poland but we are not a very rich country and we are still giving way too much to others I wonder if another country would have helped us as much as we are helping them at the moment. Polish elderly people need to wait for over 19 months to see a specialist on the national health but Ukrainians will have their appointments straight away regardless their age... I don't think it's very fair sorry...
100% bullshit btw. Poles dont wait longer than any other people registered in NFZ in a que to see a doctor. So please, keep your conspiracy theories for yourself and stop spreading this nonsense.
Polish healthcare system just sucks fat d**k. Get over it.
12:38 ale oczy ❤
Wrocław 3 x better city than Kraków. I'm a Cracovian, and I know what I'm talking about.
That guy was scared on national holidays and had to run? WTF?
Check it on yt by yourself, they are hardcore.
He said the true !! That the day when aggressive Polish fascist come to street ! So different from friendly LGBT pride celebration !
@@polska451Are you sure? Fascism was a system used in Italy in tbe 1930s and 1940s.
@@nibor1224 do you know any video of those incidents?
well I would say is more a warning with a big asterisk. Its not common for "patriots" attending 11.1 holidays to attack foreigners, it happened tho in the past and thats why some are scared. These people were punished and jailed, discrimination is against the law.
Whether you shouldn't go out on 11.1 and sit under your bed? Definitely not. Just do your business and enjoy the holiday, you will be fine.

Wrocław! Ostrów Tumski

Come on! It's completely boooooring. All the time same city, Warsaw, Krakow, Wroclaw... In Poland is around one thousand cities. Yeah, REALLY!
And all of them with Universities? Most of foreigners in that video were students.
These are very valuable rules for anybody who wants to get rich. Unfortunately, most people who will watch this video will not really be able to apply the principles. We may not want to admit, but as Warren Buffett once said, investing is like any other profession-- it requires a certain level of expertise. No surprise that some people are losing a lot of money in the bear market, while others are making hundreds of thousands in profit. I just don't know how they do it. I have about $109k now to put in the market.
A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for license advisors and came across someone of due diligence, helped a lot to grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to approx. $850k so far.

The entry video too loud I had lower the volume.
Worked with guy from Pakistan who was studying in Poland when prices were lower. He said it was fine most of the time but he was assaulted twice by hooligans. Apparently most students from asia are fine and they have plans to work in the west or US in the future but some did casue trouble in Poland he witness Police coming to thier house questioning students for theft and identy froud. He moved west after school.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
I was robbed in London, some of my buddies too. These things happen in many countries of Europe...
I was born in Poland, grew up here and was assaulted more than twice in my live lol😂 It has nothing to do with your nationality or pigment. Poland like many Slavic countries are emotionally driven from times to times, so sometimes you will be surprised in a good way (Ukrainian case) but sometimes shit happens. That’s why Polish people integrate pretty well amongst Italians, Latinos and Blacks. There are some similarities in tempers.
Terrible. People are terrible, hateful, weather is crappy. There are better places to go. Especially know when there are tensions between Poles and Ukrainians.
Can gay lesbian couple travel in poland safely? Will they be judged?
Russia has laws to ban gays i know. Does poland have similar culture
I have a friend who lives in Warsaw who's a lesbian. You should reach out her and her partner on Instagram: instagram.com/les.be.together/
I can only speak from experience as a person of color who stands out while traveling around a mostly white country that I had no problems. Big cities are usually home to more open minded people even in more conservative leaning countries like Poland.
In the whole history of Poland, I don't remember it being punished. It is not and will not be. I personally don't feel any aggression towards such people. After all, I do not support the ldbt ideology based on political correctness and imposing a specific ideology, expressing oneself and imposing a specific pattern of behavior on the whole society. I am glad that the majority of Poland is not stuck in this madness like Germany. As far as being gay or lesbian, depending on your gender, you have nothing to fear. The law has never prohibited it. When it comes to people, if you don't aggressively impose your ideology, nothing bad should happen to you.
I will take care of You. Come on :)
Polacy zawsze są odwrotni jak się im coś narzuca solą. Poza tym większość społeczeństwa to katolicy, nie obrzuca się nikogo kamieniami ale po prostu mamy inne zdanie na ten temat. Mi nie przeszkadza co kto robi aby się z tym nie obnosił i nie wymuszał swoim zachowaniem zmiany mojego JA bo mam do tego prawo. Na małych wioskach czasami Koloniach wiejskich są ludzie bardziej konserwatywni, ale trzeba zrozumieć czym jest nasz konserwatyzm. On dotyczy nas wy róbcie co chcecie byle byście nie naruszali naszej strefy intymności, chodzi też o szacunek dla naszych poglądów. Polska jest napiętnowana często pod tym względem ale nikt nie burzy się gdy do meczetu wchodząc trzeba zachować zasady tego kraju tej kultury to też nas dotyczy. Mam koleżankę lesbijke to jej sprawa kogo kocha ważne że jest szczęśliwa ale nie jest wulgarna i nie prowokuje swoim zachowaniem które mogłoby spowodować niesmak, zaklopotanie osoby innej orientacji i nie mówię tu o zwyczajnym buziaku tylko wkurza mnie osobiscie przerysowywanie przez niektóre osoby LGBT swojej srksualnosci bo jak skrytykuje takie zachowanie publicznie to jestem już homofobem. My zwyczajni ludzie nie lubimy zwracania na siebie uwagi ostentacyjnym zachowaniem. Wiadomo są ludzie i ludziska, lepiej do wszystkiego podchodzić z wyważonym dowcipem niż agresja. Uśmiech łagodzi obyczaje.

lol most germans never mind 250k ukrainians i guess they already feel the city is theirs
The Urkainern, you could be right. Breslau was a German city not so recently, which is probably why there are so many Germans there. And I wouldn't say that the Germans don't care, they just won't rub it in your face.
@@susannesperre9573 and it was polish city before taken by germans. But they lost it as a war contribution for starting humiliating war and even destroyed this city in 65%. Today Wroclaw is fully rebuilt thanks to polish taxes and polish workforce. Learn some history before writing down such arrogant statements.
We can be friendly but we don’t really like foreigners. People outside of so called “western world” are to different from us and often don’t speak English or have any useful skills. Foreigners also make prices go up and often don’t have respect for our culture and life. We don’t want to have analogous situation to Western European countries where the local identity is lost. We also don’t think that diversity is something good but quite the opposite
That is why foreigners who prefer traditional values like to move to Poland
"We" as "товарищ"? Are you communist?
Speak for yourself. There are almost 40 milion people in this country and you represent only one viewpoint. I have the exact opposite experiences.
@@samsara4085 if higher prices, higher crime rates and danger to the way of life of the majority of Polish society is your viewpoint then yes we are disagreeing
That's why I would never ever live in Poland or in another eastern European country, most people are too conservative, traditionalist and bigot, even young people, unfortunately. When I visited Poland I liked the country but just for a short holiday.
