I would say that this is a very American view of Poland. Still the video was quite good, he's not an expert on poland just a tourist and I think his perspective is valid when it comes to visiting us. I'm sure someone else could go to the same places and notice completely different things and interpret them differently.
In the video he said that Poland has not got any fast trains. Correction. As an Australian visitor I rode on a very fast intercity train. These Polish inter-city trains get up to 300 kph. They are a comfortable and smooth ride but the ticket prices are high.
Thank you for your reaction. A couple of comments on the video: 1. In terms of facial expressions - it seems to me that there is no difference regarding Europeans. This is an American perception, where friendly facial expressions and often small talk with strangers are polite behaviors. In Europe, someone smiling without reason would seem suspicious. 2. Poles are indeed more religious than most of Western Europe, but it certainly cannot be called deep religiousness. Many of the religious conducts are customized - often treated as part of our national culture. Even non-believers, and most non-practitioners, get married in church, baptize their children, or hallow Easter foods. This is a common misconception made by foreigners. 3. Maybe the service providers are not always nice, but comparing their behavior with the restaurateurs of Paris or Rome, it is still a heaven and earth difference.
west and south Europeans are not like that. They smile normally and are more "alive" Also smiling is not about having "reason" is about nature. A spontaneous reaction.
That is some old video. Polish faces: true Churches: there are so many, it is impossible to choose the most beautiful one Faith: it is decreasing, but slower than in other countries Tourism: on the rise. Some places are still relatively free of tourists, other are packed
You might want to make a reaction video about the oldest Polish anthem, Bogurodzica. This hymn was sung by Polish knights before clashing with enemy armies, including the one against the Teutonic Knights in 1410, also during coronations and other key events in our medieval history.
Fun fact: you said Poland has a very good reputation as a touristic destination in the UK, but honestly British tourists do not have it in Poland, particularly in Krakow.
Not sure about the service tho. I might be wrong but im actually used to that and whatever country i visited in the past had either the same service time or it was higher so idk, maybe its just bad but i'm used to that
Polish people don't have sad faces, that have neutral faces. When we are faced with emotions, we will express those, no problem. Poles might be a bit more reserved in expressing their emotions, but that's alright too. As for the religiosity, plenty of people declare to be Catholics (recent polls say that over 90% of people declare themselves as Catholics). With actual practice, that's obviously different, there's plenty of people who only visit churches on funerals or weddings. As for the service, I'd say it's not bad, it's just very not intrusive. Polish people like to be left alone when eating. I think the standard in Poland is to approach the customer to offer them a menu and then come back after a short while to take your order and then during the meal to approach the customer again to ask if everything is alright. If you need the waiter for anything else, you let them know and they will approach you no problem. There are places where you order at the counter and then the service there is minimal, at most you will have your meal brought to the table and that's it, but this is more in those smaller, very busy joints that serve the tourists (from Poland) like at the seaside where you order a fish with fries or something like this. As for tourists, it depends on where you go. Obviously Poland is not the most popular tourist destination in the world, but if you go to Warszawa to Stare Miasto, there will always be tourists there from all over the world: Brits, Chinese, Indian and so on. There are touristy places and there are places where there are no tourists whatsoever. As for affordability - you need to take into account, that prices did go up after the COVID and now in relation to war.

You just described the exact training the waiters are getting of how to treat the customers. I have worked in a Michelin stars restaurant, and that's exactly what we've been told- you give the menu, take the order, come back once after some time to ask if everything is alright and just wait for the customer to signal you for check. You shouldn't be overbearing.

The thing with polish churches, is that they are not only religious buildings. In many cases they are the only remaining reminiscence of Polish history and culture (i.g. architecture and art).
The video is 7 years old and out of date a bit, the world has changed since then, Poland is much more popular, much more expensive, many church scandals happened.
(i am a pole ) i had to say it for it to make sense i remember once when i was going to church i saw a young guy who was just sitting and watching something before church, and i was so shocked at first i was like oh my wtf is he doing and then i remembered that not everyone was religious, later i found out he was from germany and he just wanted to sit down, i remember that to this day (when it happened, the belivers were like 92% of population in Poland) and it was outrageous to just sit and watch in front of church (i hope it makes sense im sorry i am NOT good with long sentences)
That vid was from like 6-7 years ago; a lot has changed > more tourists; better service; more expensive but by general inflation so a EU salary perspective still the same pricing in relation to wages. Im saying this as sb living in old town Warsaw; also trains and inter city transport is faster due to infrastructure development; Waw > Gdansk is now 3h by train prolly 4h by car
I’m curious about how you became interested in Poland and why you’re interested in Poland. I’m Polish and my lifelong experience has been that no one knows anything about Poland and they couldn’t care less. As for me it’s the best country in the world but then I am a bit biased: ) Thanks.
It's always interesting for me when someone speaks well about Poland and think it's beautiful. I mean, I feel the same but still it's like - really, you like it? I live in Warsaw but Wrocław and Kraków are prettier. I've never seen Gdańsk as an adult, so I won't say a thing about this city - but people say it's gorgeous. And landscapes are amazing. We have nature everywhere. And of course people look ass if they don't want to talk and just leave them alone, but when you really connect with, you will know we are super funny and like share experiances. Also I can see there is cheaper for someone from West but for us Poland is expensive.
Half of his points are wrong, his pronunciation is completely wrong, the few Polish words he says aren't Polish and so on... As per religiocity of Polish people: according to Pew Research study from I think 2017, Poland is going secular in the fastest pace in the world, with about 25% of Polish people still practicing catholicism on regular basis.
Certainly not overly religious, this trend also aligns with statistical data, yet the reality shows a growing number of people leaning more towards traditionalism than devout religiosity. Take Christmas, for instance, once a solemn religious occasion, it has largely transformed into a commercial tradition nowadays. Additionally, there’s a noticeable shift towards liberalism over conservatism, making the stereotypes presented in the video seem outdated. The facial expressions mentioned are not unique to any specific country; they’re universal. From my travels, it’s clear that regardless of location, people are primarily focused on their own affairs, whether they’re expressing joy or sorrow. I’m curious about the country the speaker references where everyone is either constantly smiling or weeping.
1. Yes Poles do look like that, and they dont just look at you and quickly turn their eyes away. They stare, for few seconds. 2. indeed poland is very catholic, mostly by the fact that almost every child there is baptised few weeks after bith (even if parents arent church people). The church played a significant role in overthrowing the commuunist goverment (+we had our pope back then) so it is still held in very high regard for a lot of people. 3. thats true we got hit pretty bad, 90% of warsaw was destroyed after the '44 uprising, adn then the soviets came stealing and destroying even more. 4. Polish is one of the hardest languages, but in poland (especially in touristic places) almost everyone knows basic english, so you can get what you need. And yes, saying some wards in polish like dzień dobry, dziękuję always makes us happy (even more if you know some polish swear words) 5. The food is allright i guess, but i think italian, spanish, romanian, croatian has more interesting things to offer. 6. Poland has almost everything, the mountains, sea, old towns. But it doesnt excell at anything particular. All of Poland is beautifull but, there are better mountains in slovakia or in alps, better seas at meditterean, pretier cities in italy. The one thing that we have better than anyone (imo) are our lakes and forests, the quiet, the clear water, its a very good place to spend your holidays. 10. Tbh i never experienced any bad service in Poland (maybe once, but we left before ordering anything because they didnt have what we wanted) I dont know about typical touristic restaurants, the service is very underpaid and the tips are a big part of their salary so they try their best.
Walter is from USA You know they wear "smile mask" almost all the time so he probably see it more that we in poland most of the time dont smile whitout reason
this guy has just one sided view, typical Amrican approach, I would say half (or maybe a litlle more) of the stuff is true, the other half ..hmmmm not quite
Potatoes are important in Polish cuisine, just like pasta is important for Italians and rice for Asians... and cabbage is simply very healthy and cheap ;) this man is a bit like this and says: in my country we have this and this and here is that and that haha ha :( Due to many tourists, prices have gone up and for an average Pole who does not earn as much as, for example, an Englishman, it is expensive and the service is actually not the best... habits from communist times
People in Poland are not deeply religious. There are still many people who go to church regularly, but the numbers are dercresing. Religion is still very important for older generation but younger people walk away from the church and scandals among clergy contribute to that. The number of churches and the number of people who are christened do not reflect the actual attitude to faith. I was raised Catholic and both my grandmas were devoted Catholics but I myself stopped going to church years ago.
Myślę, że mój wpis przetłumaczysz sobie z polskiego na angielski. Angielski słabo znam, a duma z posługiwania się polskim językiem to także cecha Polaków. Przyjedź po prostu do Polski i zobacz nasz kraj. Żadne filmiki nie oddadzą tego, czego u nas doświadczysz. I na pewno będziesz zachwycony. Koniecznie zapraszam do Wrocławia, gdzie oprócz niezwykłej architektury, czekają na ciebie figurki krasnoludków umiejscowionych w różnych częściach miasta, a także Muzeum Iluzji, które koniecznie musisz zobaczyć. O innych atrakcjach, jak Oceanarium, tylko wspomnę. Zapraszam do Wrocławia.
Unfortunately, many topics in this film have become outdated. It was 6 years ago, and believe me (I live in the Netherlands and see that every time I visit) Poland is changing very fast. Economically and culturally. Such as the Catholic faith and religiosity. People's participation in church life is decreasing dramatically every year. Luckily. The young generation, i.e. 16-25 years old, has mostly abandoned the faith. Of course, in surveys, when asked what faith you are, 90% of Poles answer Catholic. I am also of the Catholic faith (an atheist for many years), so what, it's a tradition that is no longer passed on. Polish language can be HARD (I know). I lived in UK for 11 years and my British friends know this well and have that problem. Polish cuisine is not only cabbage and potatoes. Oh no no no. Yes, we have recipes for the best cabbage and potato dishes. That's true. But we have plenty of other delicious Polish dishes, plus various regional dishes in different places in Poland. It's like being in France and saying later that you ate every dish with wine, frog legs and snails. I lived in Wales, England, Germany and the Netherlands, and can assure you that Polish cuisine is best in that group. And not coz Im polish. Oh, and Poland is not so cheap anymore. SADLY. It's still cheaper, when you compared to Germany, the Netherlands or France, but like I said it dynamically changing. What shocked me is how Poland is CLEAN in comparison with West. As for the service, yes it is true. It's at a low level. We still need time to improve this, if we succeed at all.
I consider your interest in Poland artificial and untrue.When the English pat Poland on the back, they have a hidden interest in it🤣Your fake interest has come out of nowhere!

It was 6 years ago, and believe me (I live in the Netherlands and see that every time I visit) Poland is changing very fast.
Economically and culturally.
Such as the Catholic faith and religiosity. People's participation in church life is decreasing dramatically every year.
Luckily.
The young generation, i.e. 16-25 years old, has mostly abandoned the faith.
Of course, in surveys, when asked what faith you are, 90% of Poles answer Catholic.
I am also of the Catholic faith (an atheist for many years), so what, it's a tradition that is no longer passed on.
Polish language can be HARD (I know). I lived in UK for 11 years and my British friends know this well and have that problem.
Polish cuisine is not only cabbage and potatoes. Oh no no no.
Yes, we have recipes for the best cabbage and potato dishes. That's true.
But we have plenty of other delicious Polish dishes, plus various regional dishes in different places in Poland.
It's like being in France and saying later that you ate every dish with wine, frog legs and snails.
I lived in Wales, England, Germany and the Netherlands, and can assure you that Polish cuisine is best in that group. And not coz Im polish.
Oh, and Poland is not so cheap anymore. SADLY.
It's still cheaper, when you compared to Germany, the Netherlands or France, but like I said it dynamically changing.
What shocked me is how Poland is CLEAN in comparison with West.
As for the service, yes it is true. It's at a low level. We still need time to improve this, if we succeed at all.
Hey could you react to the polish national anthem or the polish patriotic song (Rota) ? Please
Prosim is Slovak or Czech. Polish is PROSZĘ.
We the Poles think that smiling all the time is reserved for stupid people I think. That's only one reason. Pozdrowienia
Polish girlfriend reveal when? 😋👍
Proszę not prosim
Prosim is Czech, nor polish!!!
correction is on the original vid

No jakbym jego zobaczyła na ulicy to by był szok i zero sympati chyba😂😂😂😂
Not cheap not anymore as used to be
Krakow is always busy. This guy talking a piss
I consider your interest in Poland artificial and untrue.When the English pat Poland on the back, they have a hidden interest in it🤣Your fake interest has come out of nowhere!
Przykład drugiej wojny światowej.😂
