    We were in Poland 3 weeks ago. I love everytime we go thrre. My husband grew up in Rszesow. We spent a week with his aunt and cousins who lives in Worclaw. We also went to the Tantra Mountains. We did the 12.5 mile hike to Morskie Oko. We typically go every other year, but I'm thinking we should go every year so I can see more of Europe. After we finish Europe, it will be time to try for our cross country tour of the US.

    Well it depends what you like to see , we are lucky to almost have it all ( including the Palm tree in Warsaw ;P and we had a very flameable rainbow :D ) . If you are into urban tourism and that kind of jazz the old cities mentioned in the video are spot on , If you like midle ages visit Malbork /Toruń/ Gdańsk /Karków those were the ones thriving in that period . If you are nature lover a Białowieża is a Must see , If you are into Industrial architecture the whole silesian region has it ( plus tons of castles ) and I belive that`s the reason why we are getting more and more tourism recently as it`s kind of a chain reaction when some1 fairly excited about a recent visit tells his friends about us ;) Having said that I am really supprised some of the gems are yet to be discovered by You but I blame the infrastructure and remoteness of those places . eg google search Jezioro Białe ;) or Piotrków Trybunalski Turkusowe Jezioro ;) I like lakes sue me :D

    Guessing you've been there but if not you should consider visiting/covering some areas of Southeastern Europe, particularly Slovenia (Bled, Kobarid area, Ljubljana, Skocjan), Croatia (coast + Plitvice, maybe Zagreb), Sarajevo and Mostar, Montenegro (e.g. Kotor, Durmitor NP), Albanian Alps. It has some of the best nature in Europe, good food, cheap, and lot of interesting cultural blends with the Italian Austrian and Turkish influences, though their hard-to-pin-down historical/cultural nature does make for more difficult subject matter for 10 things shock/love videos. Think Romania also deserves separate treatment (esp Maramures, Transylvania historic towns, Carpathians).

    You forgot these rules: 1) Don't visit a friend's home and NOT bring flowers for the woman of the household. 2) Don't worry about tipping. It's ok to tip a bit at times, but for the most part, Poles want to keep the idea of raising prices via "tipping culture" to am minimum. 3) Talk in our indoor voice with an indoor voice. American and Germans can talk loudly at times (as I've been educated!) 4) Kiss on BOTH cheeks when meeting friends. Including the men. 5) TAKE YOUR SHOES OFF when visiting a Pole's home (sort of like Japan). Better yet, bring slippers with you EVERYWHERE.

    Large parts of Germany have always been ethnically and historically Slavic: Berlin - Braliń, Berolin Hamburg - Bogbór Monachium - Mnichów Frankfurt nad Menem - Frankobród nad Moganawą Koeln - Kolonia, Kolin Leipzig - Lipsk Dresden - Drezno Zwickau - Ćwikawa, Świków Chemnitz - Kamienica Saska Schwerin - Swarzyn, Zwierzyn Potsdam - Postąpin Rostock - Roztoka Magdeburg - Dziewiń Halle a.d. Saale - Dobrogóra Jena - Jenawa Gera - Gierzawa Erfurt - Jarobród Cottbus - Chociebuż Regensburg - Rzeźno Fuerth - Bród Moguncja - Mogucz Wolfsburg - Wilków Luebeck - Lubeka, Bukowiec. As you can see, the Germans can steal everything. In ethnic cleansing you also have a master level.
