Hello, in Poland we mostly do not tip, and neither do we care so much about customs about it. No one will refrain from servicing you next time because you didn't tip. Of course you are allowed to tip if you feel some moral obligation, or if the service was truly exceptional. It just doesn't matter that much. Waiters are suppposed to be paid somewhat beyond starvation, the worforce is scarse, and the minimum salary is updated yearly, by which it retains the purchasing power (accidentally it keeps with the big mac calculated inflation). Remeber, you're not in America. :)
@@piotrbratek3996, oh, I mostly don't. It is the job of the employer to pay and discipline the personnel. Also, a waiter may have no connection with what the cooking personnel is doing, or liability to transfer the proceeds from the tip, if the meal was good. Besides, why this kind of money transfer should be free from taxation?
In side is a cheap pub and on the other side of Nowy Świat you have "pawilony" there are more pubs like that just in a better condition. Next time you should check Saska Kepa district Powiśle, lazienki park, Royal Wilanów palace. Stary Żoliborz, Bielany with the forest and also Marymont are nice and if you want some before second war vibe check Praga Polnoc disctrict streets like Targowa Brzeska Jagiellońska centrum koneser. And idk hows your Polish but you should try shopping for groceries at local markets in Warsaw for example Rondo Wiatraczna market, Wolumen market, Sadyba market or Hala Mirowska in the city center. In terms of movies check Chlopaki nie placza and Poranek kojota, Kiler, Kiler 2 - polish gangster comedies with a little guy ritche vibe and classic scorsese and polish " Psy" but all adapted to polish circumstances I think ur gonna get the jokes.
I do it all the time. I walk around cities for hours then I’ll go to a church if I see one and just sit down in there to rest. It saves you buying a coffee every time and you can sit there as long as you like. Especially good if it’s raining or if it’s cold outside
Hi Chief , thank you for the video and hope you enjoyed your stay in Warsaw. 26:18 There used to be a cinema in this building called "Wars". We used to go to the movies there when I was young. For example remember watching "Apocalypse Now", the only American film about the Vietnam War that was allowed to shown in Polish cinemas during the communist era. And before the screening, we often dropped by this "Boruta" cafe (where you ate your meal) for cake and tea. The figure on a horse in front of the Presidential Palace is a equestrian statue to the Prince Józef Poniatowski, Polish general minister of war and army commander. 👍

since u saw there a cute bear, did you know about bear named "Wojtek" who was a part of polish army and helped polish soldiers in a Monte Cassino Battle. I Recommend you read about it on wikipedia, such a crazy and unique story. Regards :)
Honestly --- i was more than 30 times in Warsaw and NEVER actually saw those places very close..only Kraków and Kraków . I see Warsaw like a first time in my ;life..its strange . I saw those places partially but definately not as deep as you here....cool....i definately should spend more time there than in Central part near Pałac Kultury ;)
You are right at 35:51. Soviets let the city burn during german bombing but... we had more "allies". They did nothing 1th August 1939 and eventualy sold Poland to Stalin. Do You know Poles wasn't invited to Victory Parade in London 8th June 1946?

I appreciate your enthusiasm over Warsaw and how you get excited over simple things. I’m trying to decide between moving to Warsaw or Barcelona. (Different kinds of places I know)
@k91pl I have never been to Barcelona. I think it depends on what you want for food, weather, and people. At least in Spain the sun will come out in the winter.
I have been once in Barcelona in January and the weather was very mild, at noon almost like a summer. In Madrid, which lies inland it was much colder, at night temperature dropped below freezing. I went to Spain from Poland by train and made a trip all across Spain to the southern coast.
@@leplane_ That was very long time ago, decades. I do not remember what service it was. I travelled in January across Germany, Geneva, southern France to Barcelona where I spent a day, next night to Madrit for a day, then to Alheciras whereas I took a ferry to Morocco. Come over to Poland, you are welcome. I personally live in Warsaw which has much drier climate than the southern part of the country and also the Baltic coast. We suffer from drought here year by year. What in particular are you interested in your trip?
4:27 Mosaic has nothing to do with 1944 Uprising. It commemorates 2 grenade attacks on German 'Cafe Club' by Gwardia Ludowa, which was in the same place. Current building was erected after the war. Mosaic was completed in 1964. 16:57 Fine gate and building opposite to prince Jozef Poniatowski monument is not a church. It is Potocki palace, now seat of Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. Prince Jozef Poniatowski, marshal of France, is one of Polish greatest national heroes. He died during great battle of Leipzig in 1813, while crossing river Elster in Prussia.
@mecz7322 I realized that after I was looking up locations and it mentioned the Cafe Club. Wish it was the uprising. Thanks for the information on the prince. :)
@@TravelwithMrJon In most of big occupied cities there were Cafe Clubs only for German officers. They were a favourite target for various underground formations. During 1944 Uprising Cafe Club was under constant control of Home Army until capitulation. Brgds 😀
Yes, your comment was absolutely correct. It was a nice walk, though if I may suggest, with some research, you could have benefited a thousand percent more with a little research before going in. For example, you were feet away from the Church of the Holy Cross, where Chopin's heart is imbedded in one of the columns. But hey, Warsaw is god for just a stroll as well. Cheers! :)

I often get these types of videos recommended, my theory is that most the foreigners just try to capitalize on the gullible people that like it when their country gets positive coverage. Am I correct? Bet you get more views when you slap a country's flag on a video. There's plenty of bad stuff to be said about poland
That seems a bit jaded to me. I just happened to be living in Krakow the past year and took up vlogging. I think Poland is great, nothing about gullible people from my perspective. You do get more views with a country's flag for at least getting the algorthim to work.
