Milkbar is chain of very old very very cheap restaurants , basicly in between 50's and 90's we were controlled by Russia (secretly) and even thro getting food wasnt hard , it was kinda rationed , u were gettting special coupons on top of your pay to use them to buy food , lets say you would get a coupon for 2.5kg of pork and u would go to shop and use coupon to get it but that 2.5 kg was for a whole month and somebody make idea and created Milkbars where people who work hard usually (it was open to anybody but mainly used by students and hard labour people) and it wa a chacne for them to get very cheap , very solid big meal to have streght , lets say soup and some chicken with potatoes and red cabbage would cost in normal restaurant lets say 10-20 in milk bar you could buy it for like 3-4 zl (zl is our currency) and now days , in restaurants for a soup and second course like that ckicen with potatoes and redcabbage u would pay about 50-70 zl depends where u would buy and in milk bar , most of them its 12-16 per meal
dub seperate voices each character lector is like audiobook voice :)
BLIK is not scanning phone. It's totally different system we've got only in Poland. It's based on phone number basically.
BLIK doesn't have to be connected with owner's phone number. You only need smartphone with banking application. Then you can ask that app to generate 6 number code which is valid for 2 minutes. After you enter that code on payment processing page you need to accept that transaction in your bank app. What's more you can associate that shop with your BLIK account and next time you will only need to accept payment in that bank app without generating new one time code.
@@martingorbush2944 There's also the "przelew Blik", which is an equivalent to bank transfers, where you wire money to someone based on their phone number instead of bank account number.
There's even "płatności zbliżeniowe Blik", which are contactless payments similar to Google Pay or Apple Pay.
5:02 actually, our "lektor" (so called voice-over) is when the people in the movie speak the original language and there will be one person that translates the whole movie.
In Poland big shops and shopping centers are closed on Sunday. Ukrainian guy mentioned this when he spoke about nothing works on Sundays. And of course you can take meat in a box by yourself in supermarket. Maybe this foreigner didn't notice the big refrigerators.
It all depends on the store, some supermarkets have meat on trays, portioned, others prefer a counter with service, because then the meat is supposedly fresher (maybe in the customer's opinion?). Maybe he didn't come to such a market with trays :)
Vacuum packed portion in slices rather. If you want like half of a pig only clerk behind the counter may give it to you.😅
12:50 BLIK - is something from Poland, It's not NFC - You don't need to pick out your phone and put it close to the scanner and It's not scanning barcode either It's like paying through 6 digits (from your mobile bank app and that number is temporary) and you just have to accept it. Also it's connected to your phone number and you can make transfers through that, what more those are usually faster than regular ones - so imagine situation you are at some restaurant or something, they ask you to "not split a bill if possible" and afterwards you do not have to ask your friend for their bank number you just send it to their phone number via BLIK - it's awesome. Also you can call anybody and ask: "Hey man, I'm short on money right now, could you take that one for me and give me a BLIK - It would be 60 złotych, please accept that." - and puff, done.
BLIK is something completely different than you say :) in the EU where you have a terminal you can pay with your phone, like everywhere in the world. You have to read about BLIK, it's a revolution :)
Also you can buy meat in packages from refrigerators. Don't need to ask a lady behind the counter :D
The milk bar is a bar with food just like at home, simple dinners, cheap, served simply without coquetry on ordinary plates. This is not a restaurant for special occasions, just an ordinary soup, an ordinary cutlet with potatoes, some salad and compote. That's why it's cheaper. The portions are large enough to fill you up. The dishes are not fancy, ordinary Polish dinners, so foreigners can eat a filling dinner there and learn about Polish dishes at the same time :)
Tak było, ale kiedyś.
@@wiktorglass3559nie prawda.
IT IS NOT TRUE. That was a lot of years ago in People's Republic of Poland. Now is very good.
They also get money from the state under the condition that they can't charge over 56% more than the cost of ingredients. This is a way to keep cheap food available.
@@rapper3d1b ja nie mówiłam, że jest niesmaczne :D
In Poland, women's safety, the small pay gap, the representation of women in management, women in engineering, and the number of women with higher education are among the highest in the world.
The only issue that feminists are vocal about is the right to legal abortion on demand.
Abortion is legal in cases of rape or when the woman's life is at risk."
In Poland "everything closed on Sunday" don't apply for restaurants, museums, most of petrol stations, cinemas and small shops but supermarkets, shoping centres and everything else is closed.
I totally agree with you guys, those foreugners speak very well Polish ! I'm impressed by their level
5:17 No, It's different. I mean in Poland we have like 3 types of foreign movies in theaters:
1. Original soundtrack and subtitles
2. Dubbing (classic one)
3. Voice-over (aka "lektor") so original soundtrack is still there (volumed down to let voice-over being heard) but someone is basically reading subtitles for you over it (and because of that subtitles are not needed). Fun fact is that in few countries they have multiple voice-over actors, you know for example different actor for female roles, but in Poland we have like one per whole movie.
Voice-over example: th-cam.com/video/DD-nlRkqM_w/w-d-xo.html
On sundays supermarkets are closed (except few times in a year) but we got many small shops called "Żabka" (similar to 7-Eleven) that are open
Powierzchnia Europy:10,2 mln km² - 10,5 mln km² , powierzchnia UE : 4 233 000 km², powierzchnia Kanady: 9 985 000 km². Tramwaje to transport miejski, nie dalekobieżny.
The German woman spoke about activist groups "fighting for women's rights or ecological issues" that they do not exist in the city where she lives (Katowice), but they do exist in Wrocław and Kraków.
By the way, if you ask such an activist what rights women do not have that men do, he cannot answer anything, because the law, education, etc. are equal for every citizen regardless of gender.
In Poland, women gained the right to vote, i.e. on November 7, 1918.
Some foreign guests try to transfer problems to us that we do not have. Here in the West, they destroyed their countries, and now, instead of being smarter, they are trying to do the same here, just to make people argue about something that does not exist.
Women in Finland and Norway got voting rights earlier - in 1906 and 1913 respectively.
@@GdzieJestNemo Yes, you are right about that.
@@GdzieJestNemo I think it's because Poland gained independence after partitions on 11th November 1918. Otherwise It would be definitely in mid XIX century as a simple consequence of 3 may constitution.
Masz świadomość że im nie chodzi o prawa które posiadają mężczyźni a tylko o to że prawa które kobietom są dawane w każdym normalnym kraju w Polsce są dla nich nie obecne czyli na przykład prawo do aborcji prawo do normalnego traktowania podczas zgłoszenia gwałtu (w Polsce są traktowane te kobiety jak najgorsze możliwe przestępczynie i muszą im udowadniać że "walczyły z gwałcicielem" albo "krzyczały" gdzie nie jest to możliwe gdy jesteś sparaliżowany strachem dodatkowo aktywiści feminizmu nie zajmują się tylko kobietami przecież dosłownie toksyczna męskość to termin określający najgorsze stereotypy męskie które ranią mężczyzn i feministki i feminiści walczą z tym i próbują zmienić to jak mężczyźni są postrzegani w społeczeństwie by nie było sytuacji że chłop trzyma w sobie wszystkie emocje bo zakazano mu płakać i później się wiesza bo (nie no do psychologa nie pójdę i nie wyplacze się bliskiej osobie bo uznają że jestem pizda) aktywiści robią dobre rzeczy i robią też dużo głupiego ale to zależy od grup aktywistów feministki i feminiści są jak najbardziej pozytywni dla społeczeństwa (aktywizm jeżeli chodzi o weganizm już nie tak bardzo bo Peta to pizdy które mówią że ratują zwierzęta a chuja robią) animal liberation front to jest prawdziwy aktywizm ratujący zwierzęta
Dodatkowo to że prawa są równe nie oznaczają że kobiety nie są dyskryminowane i z takim gównem trzeba walczyć do momentu w którym mężczyźni lub kobiety w pozycji władzy zrozumieją że nie mogą używać innych kobiet albo mężczyzn jako ich personalne zabawki do zaspokajania ich potrzeb bez ich zgody
Blik is not a contactless payment. It's something else. It's only in Poland (for now). Read here. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blik
Actually... You can now use it as a contactless payment, at least with mBank AFAIK.
A few missleading things we can hear there, bc u must experience this to know what they mean.
1. Lektor is a type of voice [mainly male] who read script whan actorst laks "under" his reading script. Its like auto translated whole movie by one person.
2. Chinese man was mean, in Poland most trade places is closed around 18-22hour. Some pubs are open up to 0:00. Only gas stations and some random 24h shops are open whole day, but most shops is open by 7-21 [some 5-18 etc.]. i know that in China u can fins some open trade places which works whole day and night, like 24h stands.
3. Nigth city life is uncommon in Poland, bc most place is closed before midnight, but u can find some place like music clubs etc. which are open whole night.
4. That Canadian was funny, bc in poland shops u can find boczek in 3 version, raw, smoked or boiled in block version [like 5x10x25cm or something like thsi], in thin slices like 1-3mm, and diced in small cubs like 1x1x1cm or 4x4x4mm. Yes, maybe its not popular that u find it in everyshops, but u can find in almost every butcher shops in Poland.
5. Peanut butter is something unpopular in Poland. U can find it, but only good thing about it is that clear and natural and less sweet that what i know that USA folks like. Same with chocolate butter/past which main seller in Poland is Nuttella, but i dislike it bc its taste like sugar checolate and "fat". Much better are some local products like krem czekoladowy [chocolate cream], which very often have more healthly idegriednts
Feminism ends when you have to move the refrigerator to the third floor LOL
Lektor - in movies in Poland one guy (almost always a male) reads whole dialogue. Including things said by women. Usually not in sync with actual dialogue. You can hear original dialogue sometimes. It is terrible, still better than Thai dubbing I suppose :)
Its not terrible. If it would be terrible people would prefer dub. And most poles hates dubbing. When you are use to lektor voice you basicaly ignore his voice and hear mainly voice of an original actor. Thats why its better than dub bc dub is cuting out original movie and slap on top of it often unexperienced interns. Or better. In our example we dont have voice actors at all. We have just actors, and not much of them. So any dubbing sounds exactly the same bc only 10-15 actors can dub it.
You forgot about Krystyna Czubówna😅
Tourist curiosity. Slovakia does not have many hiking trails. There is wild nature and few hiking trails. Many wild animals. Our trails are paid to maintain the fauna.
German lady was just saying there is not as many activist groups in Polish Silesia region as she would like. Nothing more. She doesn't question why (i.e. people there don't believe in the same propaganda), just states that she wants more activism she approves, in specific place she lives, now. For me it sounds like a typical migrate from California moving to a red state - "oh yeah I left my state and it's terrible there right now, but we should definitely bring more politics from where I came from." Maybe I read too much into this, tho. You definitely lack context here, but Upper Silesia is rather specific region in Poland, with their own culture and dialect on top of other differences with rest of the Poland. But I'd say both Silesia and Poland as a whole, when it comes to beliefs system, is different than the typical progressive western "baizuo" - even though, as German woman here observed, it becomes more common in some larger cities, and with more academic brainwash. This lady just looks on the world with her western-education and doesn't get it that people can hold different opinions, I guess. For you to straight up assume that we lack some "freedoms" just because you lack context is very telling of your biases. Go learn some Polish history maybe, because millions of Poles fought and died for freedom and a lot more were repressed and harassed when soviets made a deal with rest of allied forces and got us "in inheritance", with knifes still sticking from our backs. But our fathers fought and won that fight for freedom, too. Most of us is allergic for such bullshit, really.
10:27
Jumping to conclusions. The Professor's accent may be due to the fact that he speaks many languages.
In Poland, we don't need activists who just make brawls
You are right. I can tell you she is from western Germany. Brain is shrinking over there.
This German woman said that in Katowice she lacks activists defending women's rights or ecology. However, she added that she had seen activists in other Polish cities, in Krakow and Wrocław. This is not a matter of law, but probably of the fact that local activists in Katowice are less organized.
Albo słabo opłacani. W Polsce nie potrzebujemy niemieckich awanturników, niech burdel robią u siebie w Niemczech a z Polski won.
Bo na Śląsku kobiety w domu miały więcej do powiedzenia niz mezczyzni 😊
Im German, and you can send her to Afgahnistan. 😆
Może ci tzw. aktywiści by się za robotę wzieli bo z "działania" to emerytury nie wyrobią...
@@PanPropertak panie oskarku bo aktywiści którzy zajmują się problemami społecznymi wcale nie pracują pff przecież członkowie związków zawodowych nigdy w życiu nie pracowali i tylko udają podczas strajków że pracowali w danym miejscu bo lubią spędzać tak czas xD
Europe is larger than Canada by about 600,000 km2. Canada + 2x Poland will be like Europe.
Trams operate exclusively on local public transport. Long-distance transport lines include buses and trains.
There are real milk bars, but usually those in busy places are a trap for tourists
Dla mnie szokiem jest, że cudzoziemcy komentują takie bzdurne filmy, które kręcą inni cudzoziemcy, nie mający o niczym pojęcia. Ten pan i jego fryzura i nie tylko też są szokujące
7:44 "Trains are on time", well not always - mi biggest delay were like 2,5 hours. But overall yeah they are max 20-30mins delays.
We have full freedom of speech, I can freely insult the government if I don't like it and there is no problem. Women are treated equally or even better. When organizing protests, we need to report it for safety reasons, we don't want any accident to happen. Poles are nice people, I recommend coming and seeing for yourself. We are also one of the safest countries in the world, which can be checked from the statistics: murders per 100,000 people are about 0.7, which gives us the result of the safest country in the world
Also I have another cultural shock related to 3:44 - You don't even have to be in National Park, at least 12 countries have something called "tourist tax" and Poland too - you basically paying for visiting a nice place. It's (usually) not as expensive as tourist ticket to the park but still it's something that you usually pay in the lobby.
Yes, beer is definitely better in the Czech Republic, I think there is a complete consensus on this in Poland, and we don't take offense to it. It's a fact. Unless someone works for a Polish beer company and is paid to say otherwise ;)
1:40 no. It is church
That isn't actually true. In Wroclaw, for example, the Market Square never sleeps.
about you traveling in canada, 6h trip isnt really that long, and its not like you can go from country to country in europe, yes you can travel between them but its usually a day long trip obviously depends how far into the country you want to drive
9:30 - nothing work on Sundays - that one is partially true, first of all gas stations work normally and small business also work - the only restriction is that it should be the owner or his family that is working that day otherwise is illegal. We have few commercial/trade Sundays in year when it's allowed to "use" regular employees. That's pretty new law and was established on March 2018.
It's true that we say what we think - for the most part. Offices are open from Monday to Friday, and so are government offices. Most (if not all) stores are open from Monday to Saturday. It's a "cultural shock" that grocery stores are closed on Sundays. In my opinion, this is good because salespeople also deserve to rest with their families, and most people don't work on Sundays. This law was introduced because some employers were exploiting their employees. On Sundays, restaurants, cinemas, and gas stations are open, among other places.
I dobrze, że jest zamknięte. Sprzątać chałupę, a nie siedzieć w syfie, odespać, zobaczyć, że masz rodzinę, a nie łazić po sklepach. Przez niedzielę nie umrzesz z głodu, idź do knajpy i naucz się planować. Ja w niedzielę chcę mieć święty spokój. Należy mi się jak psu zupa. Jak będę się chciał zatrudnić w 24/7 to się zatrudnię.
właśnie , obyś mógł jakbyś chciał
A miej spokój w niedzielę tylko nie narzucaj go innym. Dlaczego tylko pracownicy handlu mają być tak uprzywilejowani? Ja jakoś mogę pracować w niedziele i święta i rodzina na tym nie cierpi. Po prostu wprowadzić takie mechanizmy które będą chronić pracownika przed wyzyskiem i nagradzać za pracę w niedziele i święta. Jak firmie się opłaca praca w niedzielę niech działa. Ograniczanie tego przepisami jest głupie.
@@gduniec Napisałem tego maila ze złości bo wszyscy pierdolą tylko o tych handlowych niedzielach jakby to był kurwa nie wiadomo jaki problem. Handel to nie pogotowie ratunkowe i się nie pali. Akurat w niedzielę trzeba kupować pralki, lodówki i uj wie jeszcze co jakby tygodnia nie wystarczyło. Urzędy w niedzielę nie pracują, a tu akurat by się przydało. No ale wszyscy dostali pierdolca na temat tego handlu.
@@matrixmannn zgoda. Choć sam będąc studentem pracowałem w handlu również w niedzielę, ale mój szef płacił wtedy podwójną dniówkę więc na chętnych do pracy nie narzekał:) Po prostu uważam że to nie powinno być regulowane zakazami, a stawkami rynkowymi i egzekwowaniem zapisów prawa pracy by "Januszem biznesu" nie przychodziło na myśl wykorzystywać pracowników. z doświadczenia wiem że się da :)
A swoją drogą ja pracuję w banku, w jednostce działającej non-stop 24/7/365. I uwierz mi mam co robić na zmianach świątecznych czy weekendowych. Wolne niedziele mają chyba tylko urzędnicy państwowi, nauczyciele i od niedawna handel.
@@gduniec Też nie lubię nikomu niczego narzucać i zgoda ale jakieś normy prawne muszą być co do wyzysku. Jeden na jakimś vlogu to się nawet obraził, że w jego kraju to handel pracuje i nawet w nocy możesz kupić pralkę, lodówkę. No to już mnie kompletnie rozwścieczyło.
14:00 BLIK in Poland is mostly used to buy things on-line. Paying in shops is easier with contactless credit cards. :)
The German woman wasn't excatly right. Activism is weaker in Poland now after the elections last October pretty much because activists were opposed to the previous government, which was much more conservative and similar to current American GOP.
Activism here is usually about certain subjects or issues. I think she should just spend more time to find one of those groups.
I know plenty of activists with all kinds of background, but in general people here tend to gather around some issues or subjects rather than form solid, long lasting groups.
Thanks for the fcts about Thailand and Canada. I know rather little about Thailand (some history, politics, general facts etc), so I appreciate when you are adding something.
Take care!
20:31 Not sure about Katowice (which as far as far know have a little bit different city centre than most of the cities), but most of the cities have restaurants, pubs, bars etc. are opened up to 9-12 pm on regular days and up to 1-4 am on weekends, so not sure what that man were talking about.
Thai's shock culture for them was your hairstyle and I think still it is
It's not true about trains. They are delayed very often
It is a question if you were in Canadian biggest cities. No trams there, no trams in Canada at all probably.
And I am surprised that when they travel to another country they do no check it online.
20:28 Poland is a much older and more mature country than Germany which exist in its form for like 150 years. So in Poland we value freedom the most. But on the other hand we are sceptic on ideological concepts she's talking about. We suffered from red communism for a long time from USSR, and we don't want any other colour communism at any form. More over women had right to vote in Poland earlier than in Germany and almost any other European Country. Poland was Republic when western european countries were feudal monarchies. So they are definitely not those who should teach Poles about democracy and rule of law.

a milk bar is a place where you want to go, where you want to eat well and cheaply, this place reminds you of home, in Poland you can order takeaway, there are various places and restaurants, but a milk bar? this place/places must be on your list it's home cooked food
2:58 They have an accents - not strong ones though. Also they have a problems (little ones that are mention in subtitles) like missing or wrong prepositions (in/at) but overall it's not a big of a deal.
Everyone can speak polish

In Poland on sundays only the necessary jobs are working, like police, hospitals, military etc, and there are couple sundays during a year like the last 2 sundays before Christmas or last sunday before Easter when shops are opened too, but if you work in some office job, in government job or at factory you have all sundays free of work
The only trams I know of from Northern America are the trams in San Francisco, but it's probably not common on the whole continent, it's mainly European thing
Milk bars are still present in Polish cities, but they are dying out because of fast food chains and restaurants
To chamstowo wyśmiewać religijność innych kultur.
The Ukrainian meant that in Poland shops do not work on Sundays, all are closed except the smallest ones where the owners sell, not the employees. Only petrol stations and services such as the Police, health service, etc. are open.

17:05 - "milk bars" are decent places to eat - they suppose to be cheap way to eat something somewhat "home made", but like you said cafeteria like - they are not the best and usually kept in those heated containers to keep them warm but they are pretty cheap especially those ones that have additional founding from the government (there are few to help poor people). Fun fact here is that in the past many of those milk bars have even silver-plates (like fork, knife and spoon) chined to the table as they used to be stolen be the customers.

20:30 XDDDDD what chinease guy saying, Each market is open around the clock. Both Warsaw and Krakow are some of the most partying cities in Europe, maybe this homie lives in a small town, There is even a night market in Warsaw where stalls with alcohol and street food from all over the world are served to people, the entire night market is made of an old disused train station
really? you got restaurants, shops, services open at midnight? in what city?

About tickets to National Parks in the mountains: 15% of the price is transfered to mountain rescue organisations, so rescue is free, when you have a accident (in PL, Slovaks and Czechs have another system). There are money for infrastructure for tourists: trails, rest places, toilets, cleaning.

Fajny film, Twoja dziewczyna ma świetny uśmiech ❤❤
In Poland, entry tickets to National Parks must be purchased by both citizens of the country and foreigners - there is nothing discriminatory about it. The fees are used to support nature conservation and to eliminate tourists who do not care about nature. The fees are really symbolic, e.g. for the Tatra National Park, which is probably the most "exclusive" in Poland, they amount to 5 zlotys (a little more than 1 US dollar) for children, schoolchildren, university students or retirees and 10 zlotys for the rest (i.e. slightly more than 2 US dollars). Moreover, not all Nature Parks require a ticket - it is obligatory only in some of them, which are really crowded with tourists.
The milk bar is an invention of communism, but today it is a kind of eatery where food is prepared very similar to home-made food and at a really good price. And usually, but not always, it is very tasty.
About National Parks. Locals pay "price" in taxes. All money National Park has to run comes from locals taxes, tockets is just friction of the needed money. So locals pay lower tocket price but they contribute in taxes and foreigners pay "full price".
