    Tap water is not polluted, I drink straight from the tap for at least a decade or so and it's all fine. You'll get a different taste from it because it's 'hard water', which means it contains a lot of minerals, mainly calcium bicarbonate and magnesium bicarbonate. You can notice it by the amount of limescale in kettles etc. For health it's completely neutral but yes, it can force you to use other cosmetics, I've heard complaints of dry hair. If it bothers you, you can always buy a filter. For the bathroom I'm not sure, but for drinking get a filtering jug of the "Brita" type, they're easy to get in a hypermarket and very affordable. In particular, they do get rid of the limescale effectively. People being friendly on the street is much more pronounced during summer. It's more common to strike up conversations with strangers in summer, I remember a few years ago I ended up talking to 3 random people on my (short) way to work about nothing in particular, it was a bit of a shock. Honestly, I haven't noticed "a lot" of interracial couples, not that I pay much attention. I think most people don't care so much about race once they get to know you. It's the US and to some extent the Latin American countries, and former European empires (Britain, France etc.) that have this divide according to race, which is strongly encoded in culture and a centuries-old tradition. In Poland people, especially in the small towns, can be wary of people who look or in general are very different to them, but it's not so much the case in Warsaw, because there are so many.

    True about the water. It just has more minerals. Some tap water e.g. south of the country is even a healthier option than some mineral waters in other countries. As for the "jug filters" I recommend Dafi instead of Brita since it has great quality, better price and it is a polish company so it will come back to you in the infrastructure built for the taxes they pay in Poland🙂. All the best!

    Tap water in Warsaw is not polluted, it is simply harder than in other cities! You can safely drink it without filtering or cooking - it is 100% safe for people. If you have a problem with the feeling left by hard water, try for example, going to the Tatra or Bieszczady Mountains - the water there is phenomenal.

The city develops so fast, you can be surprise every month by many changes on every level; transport, restaurants, cafes, skyscrapers, green areas, events, concerts, museums. And it is still very safe city with clean public transport. Krakow is lovely, but for me great for a weekend trip, more like holiday vibe. Warsaw is high energy and progress.

    We, the people of Warsaw, who have lived here for generations, are understanding about opinions about our city. I am a 3rd generation resident of Warsaw, and my wife is probably 7th, her grandfather was even a Warsaw insurgent with the rank of lieutenant. The incumbents of Warsaw are quite proud and we don't really care about opinions - good or bad - about our city. Some will like it more, others less. But if you are rooted in a city that rose like a phoenix from the ashes, your strong attachment to the place is most important. Hence the common opinion that we are defiantly proud or even arrogant. However, Warsaw is an open city, a lot of people live here for career reasons, studies, etc. And Warsaw welcomes them, it does not take a lot of time for you to feel like you are at home. There is a joke about Krakow: "how long does it take for native Krakow residents to start treating you as their own? Well, after approximately 300 years of living in Krakow, you can count on it." But you also need to know that there is some cultural tension between Warsaw and Krakow and the inhabitants of both cities like to say typical Polish insults to each other :) You watched, as I can guess from the film, mainly the modern center and the Old Town. The phenomenon of Warsaw is that individual districts are very different from each other. If you were to immerse yourself in Żoliborz or Stary Mokotów, you would feel in these generally residential and quiet districts a bit like in some Swiss Bern, in numerous areas of Prague, located on the other bank of the river, you would encounter a somewhat "wild" city, but also artistic districts, such as for example Christiania in Copenhagen or Republika Užupis in Vilnius, Lithuania. These are, of course, quite distant and general comparisons, I mean some impressions. As for the tap water in Warsaw - it really is one of the cleanest among European cities. Which, of course, does not eliminate your individual impressions.

It truly has plenty of layers to it and incredible venues to visit. :) Plus...nothing can replace a good night out with friends at Bulwary Wiślane or Pawilony. :D

    As a resident, one of the things I really like about Warsaw is the relative abundance of green areas. This is paricularly visible when compared to some large cities in Western Europe but also to other Polish cities. And as the summer heat waves inevitably get worse, this will certainly grow in importance. As for the views about Warsowians as people, one really shouldn't rely on Cracow residents for an unbiased opinion. Cracow being the former capital and Warsaw being the current one, we have a bit of a "friendly competition" ;) Though obviously you will find some jackasses with a superiority complex, like in every capital city. Regarding infranstructure, the moment that many things began change for the better really fast, not just in Warsaw but everywhere in Poland, was when we entered the EU in 2004. I was fresh out of secondary school that year, and it was interesting to watch things change in real time, both in terms of infrastructure and the standard of living.

    Regarding tap water: the quality varies even within different parts of Warsaw. However, there are places in Poland where tap water is exceptionally good, comparable to bottled water, as long as the water source is from deep wells, especially those in limestone formations. For example, the area around Nałęczów, Kazimierz Dolny, Puławy (in the Lublin region) has tap water that tastes similar to the well-known bottled waters Nałęczowianka and Cisowianka, which are sourced from this region.

    I would say a week because what that guy doesn't tell is that each district has a VERY distinct vibe, yet all he does is stroll in one, central district, instead of checking out what is around different metro stations and i know since i lived here 43 years and there are some districts that i hate - like the central [where i live] and some that i REALLY love like Wawrzyszew / Stare Bielany / Żoliborz / Mokotów. But to be hones there are people that find the "vibe" they are looking for at Praga, Wilanów, Wola. Besides the same ticket that you use for transport inside the city is used to travel via trains in a Warsaw Metropolitan Zone, so you can actually travel really far to various forests, lakes that WArsaw is surrounded by. You can on google maps how totally different each district is. In Wawrzyszew, where i'm now at work we have EU Nature 2000 preserve just 15 minute walk from metro station. :D

    Tap water is very clean all over Poland (except Zakopane and the surrounding area), I don't really understand this criticism. The water is controlled, and you can always get information about its composition on a given day (actually since 1998). It may not be very tasty because it contains calcium (which, however, supplies calcium to the body) and not everyone likes it. I like it, and like many Poles, I drink water straight from the tap. In Warsaw, water is purified in very modern treatment plants, and one of the purification stages includes a special set of gravel and other natural layers, so technically it is like spring water.

    When it comes to real estate, there could be a bubble, but who knows. I don't think the Ukrainians and Belarusians that are here will leave to their home countries, these won't get that better in the near future. My Warsaw flat's value went by 50%(!) according to the current market rates, since when I bought it in 2022, two weeks before the war, so the prices are expected to fall, but not dramatically. People have been waiting for the bubble to burst for a long time now and it never happened. Those who waited to buy property (for their own use, not investments) until the bubble bursts, now can't afford it any longer. It slowly starts to look like in the West, where many young people can't afford to have their own property.

I was born in Poland in the Tricity area and I still believe its extremely beautiful and miss it daily - you have yhe beach front , thr beautiful forest , even dough the concept of Zoos is controversial I think Gdańsk zoo has beautigul location in the valley surrounded by forst. Also its so close to Kashubian region with all the beautiful lakes. Alo lots of cool places and museums and restaurants and the historic Długa Street with the medival (restored) town houses and if you love biking a lot of infrastructure is avaible invluding thr routes alongside the shore of all three cities (well technically Sopot is more like a village but does have its city rights) and of course the whole metropolitan area is constantly growing and incorporating thr smaller villages.

    Dude speaks about Warsaw being relatively cheap... for a Westerner. My man, the rent prices in the past 5 years have easily tripled and they are still going up on a quarterly basis. I have lived in Warsaw all my life, born and bred, but I'm seriously debating moving out to the countryside and renting my apparent out, because it gets to the point of becoming unaffordable for the common person. Rent alone for a commie-block flat is now almost 1000PLN for a single person, and that is without electricity bills taken into account. It used to be less than half that in 2019 and it was even less in throughout whole 2010 and kept on a stable level rising only slightly in that whole period. It started to climb during pandemic and now, after the full scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the prices are in almost constant rise month by month.

    If you are interested in single relationships, I think that Warsaw is the best option for you. There are a lot of clubs, at night Warsaw is teeming with life in these places, so you can definitely meet women there who are interested in men in a different way than Polish women from smaller towns ;). Women from Warsaw are "easier" and want to "experiment" ;). Are they prettier... a matter of taste ;) living in the capital certainly means that women who live there have to "take more care" of themselves, especially if they work in offices. Good luck.

    From the ugly high-rise buildings and the foreign immigration to Warsaw, to mixed-race relationships, entrepreneurial investors, etc., it's only a matter of time before the city turns into a grab-bag for investors, a multi-racial swamp, and a casualty of globalism. The global diversity of different cultures, built by the ancestors of a particular race, this diversity which we all love, will succumb to the melt-down of white western culture, a melt-down defending itself by the accusation of racism. It is disconcerting that you present these changes, which are destroying the nations's homogeneity and special charm, as positive. Would Japan or South Korea welcome such a demographic transformation?
