Learning Polish language will open many doors for you in Poland including making new friends. You can not expect every Pole to speak English - it is not possible. Best of good luck!
Don't worry summer will be much better people will be happier and friendlier, winter is always depressing and people smile less because they don't have enough sun. In Poland, real life begins with the first warm and sunny days
So true. Looking forward to all the sun will bring along this season.
I think your video does not tell as much about Poland and its culture, as it tells about yourself and your culture. In this aspect it's truly interesting and informative. :)
I also think ur video don't say much about the culture in Poland. Besides the fact ur English it's so hard to understand I couldn't picture a clear idea about life in Poland. Very disappointing....
you must remember that in a country like Poland there are 4 seasons, that's why some fruits and vegetables are expensive in autumn and winter because they simply don't grow locally, they have to be imported from other countries, e.g. from Spain, which is why they are expensive. Tomatoes and, for example, strawberries are very popular and cheap in Poland, but in summer. this is season based cooking you eat what is available at the time of the year. you will see in the spring and summer will be full of cheap fruit and vegetables and delicious dishes available
You are so positive. I love your attitude and encouragement.😍 Keep blazing!
There is over 46 Polish meals cooked with tomatoes also over 80% of Polish meals includes onions. The one thing we Poles love is Onions and garlic a lot of foreigners actually ask us what is our obsession with onions. We do talk on trams, trains, buses but we do it quietly because it's considered rude and disrespectful to talk loudly or be on your phone on public transportation, in Japan for example you will get kicked off the public transportation if you start talking where other passengers can hear you or you talk on your phone on Public transportation. As a 50 year old Polish man you got 60% of the things you said wrong about Poland. In Poland over 60% of Poles do speak English well enough to communicate with foreigners. 100 countries were ranked in their English speaking abilities and Poland ranked 16th out of 100. Poland's favorite soup is actually Tomato soup, also in Poland we love to plant our own vegetable gardens and the first thing we plant are Tomato's, onions and cucumbers. How long have you been in Poland?.
There are two reasons why shops are closed on Sundays/Holidays:
1.) many people in Poland are religious, these days are days of rest.
2.) even for non-religious people like me, it is important that shop workers who usually do not earn a lot also have the right to rest with their families if their work is not absolutely necessary
The stores are closed on sunday because the state expects people to chill and rest on sunday. If the stores were open, the employees couldn't see their family whole week. So the government came up with this idea. There are ways to spend sunday but it isn't shopping anymore since they made law to close the malls. But if you find some small shop like żabka or private owned business, it's possible for you to buy stuff. Large company cannot force you to work on sunday but if you want sell stuff by yourself, then it's possible. If you want to spend time you can spend it with your friends, go to church, do some daily excercises, go to cinema or concerts, take a walk and so on. People don't want to sit next to a foreigner or they don't talk, because most of them are shy. They are too afraid to speak to another person. Sometimes I feel like to pick somebody and start conversation but usually I don't. I don't bother anybody, most of people just want to go to their place, to work, school or to see their family, so they just shut up and go. Older people may not know english, they can speak russian or german. But younger people mostly can speak english. If you know some polish, simple frazes, basic words and sentences, this knowledge comes handy and they are your ace. Polish cuisine is rich and tasty and we use tomatos and onions but not in every dish. Fastfood should't give you idea on what it is. Best food is made at home. Going to some restaurant which isn't fastfood is also good idea. KFC is not polish restaurant. In my opinion it's not healthy and not tasty at all. People eat breakfast, main meal at 12 to 1 pm and dinner in the evening. We have various soups, stews, pasta, potato dish with addons like fried fish, pork, rarely beef. I personally love tomatos and onions, and I love cooking them. I make stews with mushrooms or add them to scrambled eggs. tomatos also go to salads or sandwitches. The onions go on a pan with sousages or in soup or in sandwitches. We also like to eat jams, juices from vedgetables or fruits, shakes, milk and alkohol and so on. People smoke tobacco, and it's bad habit. Kids often ask adults to buy them alkohol and cigarettes which is also bad and it's a felony. I used to smoke but when I was diagnosed cancer, I have quit. I love beer and learning about different cultures. It's really nice you are interested in Poland. I hope you enjoy your stay. Good luck on your video blogging and have fun.
Hello, thank you for stopping by. This is so heartwarming and informative🫶🏾. Thank you. Blowing much more light and happiness to you. I would want to hear your story but I don’t know if you will be in for it ☺️. Thanks you lots ☺️
We "these people" sorry for not having conductors for you, and sorry that you have to buy a ticket...and sorry that if you don't have tickets you will be charged 10x of it.... that's really odd
Tomatoes are very popular in Poland, but not so much for cooking, because most of the year they're relatively expensive (they're very cheap in early summer and early fall). I guess in Kenya they must be used like potatoes or cabbage or bread in Poland - added to absolutely everything and anything possible :). If you want to cook with tomatoes, you can try canned tomatoes or tomato puree, not the same, but they're affordable (canned when they're cheap) and for cooking they're good enough. Of course, if you can afford it, cook with fresh tomatoes all year round :). You can get them in any local supermarket or at the market.
As to public transport - yes, it's true, people like to have it quiet - music without headphones or talking on the phone are a big no-no. That's important to know. Actually, it's a big cultural shock for us when we travel to countries in Asia or Southern America, where you have to spend hours on a bus with music blaring! Been there, done that, and nope, while it's interesting to experience, I prefer not to have a headache ;).
Allow me pin your comment @Piotr B because it has answered all of my comments below and maybe more to come😊😍. May this be a clarity reference to those who are having difficulties understanding the content above.

Hapo sasa😂😂😂I know what we do !!
We cook many dishes with tomatoes and onions ;)
If you go to Rome behave like Romans or if you love Kenya so much come back no one held a gun on you while living, Poland is beautiful and so many places to visit, has lots of dishes such that you can eat different types all year without repeating, people there are honest and kind..
You got a chance to be in one of most developed countries in the world make use of the opportunity to better yourself, stop missing useless things back here.. only miss your family
I dont wana be rud but if shopping is only thing what you do its you problem and its problem with you that mean you dosent have other intrest than shopping we like do somthing more not waste time in mall or shopping galery go find your self some hobby and i live in Germany its similar to Poland shops are close like in poland and i thing German people soking more but i love live in europe every country had some beautifull things like germany especialy arhitecture i like german people they are so nice they smile more than we polish but i dont like smiling people they are weard.
Before Easter shops do are open on Friday. Maybe on Saturday there are closed earlier, but still - they are open. They are closed only on Sunday and Monday. Majority of us are catholics, so we celebrate Sundays and holidays, we rest.
You are really story teller.. you don't need others
Look lady, if you in a different country to your own, integration is the key, complain that no one talking when traveling on the tram,try to start a conversation in the local language and see if fellow travelers respond I bet they will, a specially to a nice lady like you, knowing the local language is the best way to interact with locals
Few things from someone who's in mid 30's.
Well we speak English, many of us do. When I was in school we studied English since we were 7 years old, but we even had some 'kid' classes during kindergarten time.
Basically if you will want to ask someone who's 20-30 years old and they can't answer it can mean two things: 1st is that they were learning German in school, or the 2nd... well they've had English but didn't care much and had the lowest possible score which just allowed them to 'pass' safely to next year in school.
Someone sitting next to you (or even worse - start a conversation) is the biggest fear people have in public transport : )
as for PDA - it doesn't even exist as a concept in western countries. I learned it was a thing from culture shock videos.
We will be learning Swahili for you.. our apologies.. these people apologize to you
becouse theres no point of cooking tomatoes. what for? some people eat tomatoes on dinner but not cooked tomatoes
Smoking is a way to meet people because you go for a smoke and if you smoke you can give a cigarette to other person and if they smoke you are friends, that is why smoking in highschool is so rampant, it is a way to social circle and friends, and that is also what adults do, so smoking ones are more cool, it is hard not to smoke in highschool and even if you don;t want to smoke, sometimes you will do it for socializing, now it may be different but it was that way when I was at school.
sorry to mention, but kenyan cuisine and polish one are not comparable in any way. in kenya there is no real cuisine at all apart from indian one which was imported 100 years ago
Hello dear,,,which visa should i apply at Kenyan embassy to come to my my polish fiance in Poland and frt married there....what are the requirements.....
I have experience matatus, noise, dirt and chaos in Kenya for 10 yesrs.. how do you expect poland to have matatus and conductors for you..and that loud music all over? How? That's odd
Hi gal,how about someone coming to work in a military camp in food industry
Cześć Piękna ❤
We have very good tomato soup with rice
Honestly, you are out of reality... your perception of understanding the different world... it's worrying
we got many meals with cooked tomatoes and onion, which part of the country you are? lol Actually I live in London with Ugandan lady and I found Ugandan kitchen not so different from Polish one,
Also sorry that we mind our business.. not yours
Beba! Beba! Beba! It's so shocking that people in Poland don't make noise and all those shoutings before you are pulled or pushed into matatu like cattle.. "these people" apologize for lacking such manners
hi..kindly let me know the people who hire you what kind of accomodation they give you..thanks
WROG information about Poland
Polish people cook with tomatoes
People talk to the tram as well
I love your video but be careful when you are talking about something that you dont have all of information
No objection. But not so consistent as Kenyans do.
Hahaa! food comes 1st for a kenyan.
You purely lie about food availability plus shops closed.. wow.. you really don't know Poland.. however sorry for keeping you hungry..
it is not true that 95 percent can't speak english, actually many simply don't want to because of many reasons, many don't feel confident so prefer to avoid stress, people below 40's most of them has some level of English

I don't agree only 5 % of Poles speaks English. I thnik rather majority of us do. Depends where you live: big city or small village. Younger generation for sure speaks English.

I Where is any type of common sense in these kind of people like her ... You are in Poland and Poland has nothing to do with England and of course they speak Polish .Many countries been colonised in Africa by Western countries that's how English influence and language spread through Africa but Poland never been colonised or occupied by English and they have their own culture and LANGUEGE. I mean I'm not Polish or Kenyan but I'm amazed by your view of Poland compared to Africa .. Poland is very safe civilised advanced in many ways and Kenya is in no comparison apart from nature . My advice is humble your self and educate your self about other people and their ways of life and culture , many people might find Africa and Kenya weird but its best to keep those opinions to your self and accept we all have different culture . If I was african I would be embarrassed to even open my mouth about how bad Poland is because most of Africa is very unstable ,unsafe ,many kids are starving , malaria , aids , rebel dictatorship warfare, hundreds of people die everyday and it's been going on for thousand years , African people suffered a lot in the history and the past is very sad and people that educated about history knows that so its very hard to compare Poland to Kenya or Europe to africa .. GOD bless
Woooow so bold of you to assume that about a continent what makes you different from her in fact you are worse than her , your views are just blant racist
It's called a "culture shock." She never said Kenya was better. Your comment sounds so bitter and antagonistic. Why are you so upset by her point of view?
This comments are uncalled for
