Hi Jonathan, Nice vlog and I enjoy your humor and honesty. However, those old churches look magnificent. I would really enjoy seeing them in person one day. Not exactly the ideal weather for sightseeing and some of the other negatives you mentioned. Nevertheless, Wroclaw is beautiful. One thing that catches my eye, is all the graffiti. It's become an obsession in many cities in Poland. Enjoy in good spirit!
@marks6194 Thanks for watching and your comments. My tourist walking tours are not for every person... I think if I came back in the fall or for that matter winter with the spirit of the markets going strong the mood would shift greatly. I was surprised about all the graffiti. It seems the bigger the city in Poland the more graffiti.
1. Near the Cathedral Island is the Botanical Gardens you have to buy tickets there but it's worth it. 2. The last island you walked on is called Wyspa Słodowa (Malt Island) it's popular place for students to meet up an drink beer. Usually you cannot drink in public but this island is designed area for that. 3. Pizza place next to the tacos is one of the better places to eat Neapolitan style pizza in Wrocław. Great video, I hope you'll return to Wrocław some day 😊
@tkankatw0rcza the botanical gardens would be worth the price for sure. 2. That answers that question about drinking for me. Good to know. Looked like a giant beer park. 3. So I should have gone there for pizza lol and not done the cafe 😒
Jeśli chodzi o kościoły to wiele pięknych zwłaszcza barokowych jest w Polsce, choć wiadomo że przybyszom zza wielkiej wody najbardziej zależy na tych gotyckich czy romańskich - starych. Kup sobie albumy o polskich kościołach drewnianych, albo album o sankutariach maryjnych (tych najwięcej w Polsce, bo to kraj Maryjny) albo Nowe kościoły w Polsce, albo Kościoły i cerkwie w Polsce, albo ..... Tu każda diecezja ma swój album kościołów!!!. Odwiedź Licheń koło Poznania a raczej Konina (cały dzień) tam wybudowali marianie bazylikę na wzór św. Piotra z Rzymu i tylko z pokory jest o 10% mniejsza od oryginału. Koniecznie pojedź. W Polsce po komunizmie wybudowano wiele nowych kościołów ale te nie są takie piękne.

1. Poles can no longer live without construction. There is nothing more pleasant than the sound of construction waking you up at 7 a.m 😁😁 2. If you learned Polish, you could answer this woman in beautiful Polish. Then she would thank you by kissing you on the cheek and saying - Jona you are my hero. But the chance is gone 😆🤗
@nonperson22 I know I responded to this... but it must have not went through. 1. I think construction should start at 5am and end at 10pm. I want Poles to FULLY EMBRACE construction. 2. I still don't understand why Polish is so hard for me. I did learn Russian... lol As I joked with my colleagues Polish would be so much easier if written in Cyrillic.... I know that doesn't help me with the locals as not all Slavic languages are the same.
@@TravelwithMrJon 1. Construction from 5 am to 10 pm ? That's not good. If they work longer, they'll finish sooner and there won't be any construction sounds anymore 🤗🤗🤭 2. Probably because you eat too few pierogi and drink too little vodka 😉 Vodka always makes for better conversation. Polish will never be written in Cyrillic 😊🙂
@@nonperson22 So you are saying I need to drink more to learn Polish. Interesting idea... 1. I know it seems like a strange idea to speed up the construction process. Even crazier idea would be to focus on just one area at a time, not the entire city.
@@TravelwithMrJon Yes, you need to drink more and then talk, but with Poles, not to the mirror. And eat pierogi 👍👍 You're right, Americans have some strange and crazy ideas 😉🤭
@@nonperson22 I know deep down Poles want the entire city to be under construction at once. It seems to unify everyone under the same banner. The pierogi will taste better if I had lots to drink... especially if it's the poisonous one I had in Gdansk and Sopos.

Are you fishing for a response? Maybe I should be like you and write whatever. It’s a pretty petty comment. If you don’t like the vlog go watch something else. As for clicks I have plenty of them on my polish travel vlogs so you watching or not doesn’t matter to me. Thanks for wasting my time with your non constructive comment @marekkrajewski9662
Does he actually live there though or is it more of a ceremonial residence? I assumed he lived there from the sign but maybe he lives as part of a community too. @katarzyna4667

@diesel34167 I have explored Poland just to see churches. Favorites are Pszczyna and Przemysl

Jak na chłopaka z Teksasu temp. 35 C jest w sam raz! Po co klima! Przy 15 C wy tam w czapkach chodzicie.

a Zielona Góra?
I will visit in the future. No time on this trip. @beatkabaca8547
it might be that you find Wrocław too western city like, ordered, not so Polish overall, maybe

What you told the passer-by (Nie mówisz po polsku) literally means "you don't speak Polish".

Yeah or used a translation app. But then again it takes away the newness of these walks or as I say the real tourist experience. @solidarnosc9663
I was born in Wroclaw over 60 years ago and spent there 45 years. Now I hate this town as it is. Will never return.
Good idea, seems like a European city is not a place for you. Stay in Vorkuta.
Nothing wrong with not returning to a place, especially if you don't like it anymore. @wojtekbratek5156
