Olsztyn, I used to hang out there with my friends when I was a kid
I moved to Poland from Canada. Best decision of my life. Its a great country and the Government so far doesn't follow the Bull💩 the Western Countries or North America believe in.
I eat such sandwiches everyday - the main difference is mayo. Sometimes I use it sometimes I dont. This is how we live in poland.
Noone serves 'czernina" today.. It's not XIX century haha. And about herring, it's disgusting. My parents like that fis, bit to me it smells like.... well it smells.
Too bad this was all about dating women, and nothing about dating men in Poland

I have great grandparents who were Polish. Does this help with immigration?
Very disappointed in this interview. No discussion about ones eligibility for healthcare or the income taxes or inheritance taxes charged in Poland. Also no discussion of retirees and what they can expect in Poland.
I wonder if the POLES still retain the ways of the communists. Their jealousy is one fact and never mentioning money is another.
Now I want to visit Poland for at least one month or two. I just hope I can find something to eat that is familiar. Maybe you have French restaurants in Poland?
Oh my goodness! I agree. I could not eat those foods. What can you eat? How about yogurt and fresh fruit? Dinner: How about some broccoli, califlower, carrot, and wild salmon with an arugula salad?
WOW! I really appreciated your presentation. The jealously aspect of the Polish was really strange to me. Imagine living with people who are jealous of everything you did or have. Is everyone still thinking like communists? I loved your stories about how jealousy affected you. It really instantly explained so much.

It’s really good after hiking for 10 hours in the tatras washed down with beer.
Nicholas Copernicus was not a Pole. He was a German astronomer living in Poland. Poles (like myself) are indoctrinated into the belief that he was a Pole, during all primary and secondary education and they mostly believe it. And they bravely export this idea onto the world. Why? Because he lived in Poland? He had never learned Polish language. His parents were German. Half of the family were, partly, of Polish ancestry. They all lived in times when nationality did not matter. But language and culture always does. Maria Skłodowska-Curie, known outside Poland as Marie Curie, was as Polish as you can be, though. Culture-wise, language-wise, blood-wise. She just lived outside Poland. As there was no Poland then, anyway.
The napkin thing calls for a deep study. I myself gave it a lot of thought. Kudos
Grosz coins and tens groszy coins differ in weight, heat conductivity and color. What else do you need?
Oh man, regarding vodka, I can see you're experienced. You've been through a lot. And I see you live in a traditional, middle town, historic-central Poland, among people who sing traditional songs at parties. That's ok. I feel you.
Chewing gum while speaking to someone, esp. a stranger, is considered rude in most of the world. Asking too many questions too... :)
After watching this, I instantly know the social environment you're in in Poland. Well... Just remember that regarding politics, culture, musical tastes, contemporary history, etc. etc., this is a deeply divided nation.
Shaking hands with women: a few decades ago the custom of kissing women in the hand still held strong, at least in cities. Now it's dying out and we still haven't figured out what to do next. It's complicated. There is no formula. You must be open and vigilant. :D Queuing up is a nightmare in Poland. A long story to tell...
"Nie chwal dnia przed nocą" is perhaps even more common than "...przed zachodem słońca". "Widziały gały co brały" is funny because it sounds very informal and rather rude in old-fashion way, like (and surely deriving from) marketplace women's speech 70 or 100 years ago. "Gały" is dialectal for "eyes" but simply means "balls", so the whole expression sounds goofily straightforward like "balls saw what they took", only one word fewer. :) "Nie można wejść dwa razy do tej samej rzeki" is a famous sentence from Heraclitus of Ephesus, 6 c. BC.
English translation: Everything flows, nothing stays still Everything flows and nothing stays. Everything flows and nothing abides. Everything gives way and nothing stays fixed. Everything flows; nothing remains. All is flux, nothing is stationary. All is flux, nothing stays still. You cannot step twice into the same river; for other waters are continually flowing in. You cannot step twice into the same stream. For as you are stepping in, other waters are ever flowing on to you. You cannot step twice into the same river. It is impossible to step into the same river twice. No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.
"Ekstra" in Polish also has a tint of that meaning "more", esp. in the expression "coś ekstra" - "something more (than the standard)". The main contemporary meaning "fine, super" is secondary in fact.
Mam nadzieje, Ze ta wspaniala inicjatywa dojdzie do skutku!! Trzymam kciuki!! 🎉
Great video! Thank you!! ❤
There is plenty of wrong of dancing and jumping in churches. Its sacred place place of solitude and worship. This is why and how demoralising society starts.
Poppyseed cake is amazing i love it 🫠
100 percent. Met my wife in CA after she moved from Glogow Poland. Things that drive my wife crazy; Ceiling Fans She is wrapped in three layers in the summer Extremely cold temperatures. Talked to her about moving to Colorado. She refused. How big the vehicles are in America. She has now adjusted and drives a Ford Explorer. After we started dating she confessed to me that she believes People is US are overall stupid. This has been proven many times to me. We are currently in Poland visiting her family and her cousin Anna teaches 6-7th grade physics. How often people eat out. When Justyna was growing up she never went to a restaurant to eat with her parents. On road trips they made sandwiches to take with them. How sweet every thing is, even the cheese. She makes her own cheese. When I visit. They already know I need a fan to sleep and I need ice for my drink. I have brought property for Justyna’s parents to build a house. I will have to pay to have the house built which we are in the process of doing. Her parents still live in a 600 sq ft apartment she grew up in up in.
Russell, I know that you probably have enough already but I brought three American motorcar registration plates for you from England to Czestochowa for your wall displays. I called in several times but always met Polish men with goatee beards sitting and playing with laptops! I called in on my way back on Friday morning after an evening spent in Katowice. I could hear your lesson from the door but did not bring the plates as I was not sure if you would be in or not and there seemed no point in taking American number plates all the way to Katowice and back should your school doors be closed and locked. Please thank the man from Warsaw who was there the first time I called in. He told me that he has known you since the first day of your arrival in Poland-I loved his dog. I could have sent you an e-mail but you never seem to read them. It must be quite a fun job teaching conversational English, as it was, I did hear the part about the Cuban missile crisis and that it all took place before you were even born. I have left the plates with relatives outside the centre of Czestochowa but do not know at this early stage if and when I will be back again. Katowice airport is only served by Luton airport with Wizzair so it is a bit of a struggle getting there in the first place. I enjoyed Poland but it was really too hot for me this last week so sat mostly in the shade!.
Please send me a test email to [email protected]. I'm just having issues with your emails, buddy.
Cymbał - to dziecko walące w cymbałki jak głupie :D 13 - Palant połączeni od 6 - 12
About our Baltic sea... There are many spots on this sea, that water temperature are much higher then in others area. You can check this on 'water temperature' data and go to place, if you wanna go into sea.. swim, etc., where this temp. is higher. For example.. in same day in some places, water temp. will be around 15-17 Celsius degree, but in other this same sea can have around 21-22 Celsius degree. This few degree can make BIG difference for you. 😀 If you have good spot, you can spend almost whole day in sea. And have great fun from waves and from that, that you can go far away from cost line on food. 😀 Because Baltic sea is v. shallow sea. And often you can go around 500 meters from cost line into sea, just walking. 😀 And water in sea is great, because have less salt than 'normal'. And sand beaches... ARE THE BEST!! 😀
Good Polish, congratulation!
I compare Poland to Ukraine. Their landscapes..... mountains, lakes, rivers, seafront areas, and even their cities are more or less very similar. The only difference is that Poland is a bit more modern and developed.😊
You haven't said anything of substance, what's your point?
No offense, I thought Texans played football( American football) all year around.
The difference between American television and Polish television is that American tv is woke while Polish tv isn’t
Well, TVN is creeping in that woke direction due to its American parent company...
Opium, desire or will...
Uwielbiam widok maków. Od dziecka zawsze się cieszę, gdy je widzę.
Poppy seeds are from a different poppy; it has white flowers and is much larger plant.
Nie potrafię dociec czy to polski czy amerykański akcent. Normalnie brzmi jakby Polak nauczył się idealnie mówić po angielsku, ale nadal są tam przebłyski polskiego akcentu.
Rodowity Amerykanin. Tu nie ma przebłysku polskiego akcentu.
@@ark6969 nieprawda. Sposób w jaki wymawia wiele głosek, szczególnie twardych na końcach słów, zdradza, że on mówi po polsku.
@@rafadydkiemmacha7543 od ponad dwudziestu lat w Polsce, bez żadnego związku z krajem wcześniej (zobacz pierwszy film) . To długo, być może ma już jakieś naleciałości. Ja tego nie słyszę.
@@ark6969 przeciętny człowiek w ogóle nie ogarnia akcentów, więc mnie to nie dziwi. Ja mieszkałem też w USA i tak nie mówią Amerykanie. I nie, regionalne akcenty tu nie mają nic do rzeczy. Nikt nie zniekształca tam głosek tak, że przypominają naszą polską wymowę słów. Może rzeczywiście gość nabył polski akcent po latach w Polsce. Albo coś ściemnia, co też by mnie nie zdziwiło.
Great episode, thanks!
Nie wiedziałam tego wszystkiego 😂
Cool project. I can't donate now because my sister is getting married next month but I will try to chip in after that, after I recover financially.
We would certainly appreciate it, thanks 🙏👍🙏👍
I love Pizza Hut. One of my best childhood memories was going there with my mom and sister as a kid in the 90s. It was such a cool and modern place compared to the rest of Poland at that time. The cheese pizza (the topping was just 4 kind of cheese, greasy as fuck 😂) was my favourite. Pizza Hut and McDonald's made me feel the US is super cool.
Czerwone Maki na Monte Cassino is such a powerful song with an interesting history. I recommend reading the wiki page about this song.
Hi Russell, I often look at my Polish pottery cross hanging in my bedroom. It was given to me by my sister in law when she was stationed in Europe. It’s one of my most prized possessions. One day I hope to visit Poland. Thank you for all your videos about the beauty that is Poland. All my best to you and your family. Kevin
Thanks, Kevin. Thanks for sharing this with me 🙏😊. Pozdrawiam
"Bo najpiękniejsze są polskie kwiaty - stokrotki, fiołki, kaczeńce i maki, Pod polskim niebem w szczerym polu wyrosły ojczyste kwiaty, W ich zapachu, urodzie jest Polska". To fragment pięknej piosenki pt. "Polskie kwiaty", polecam posłuchać, naprawdę chwyta za serce.
Poppies are one of the most beautiful Polish wild flowers that you can find almost everywhere. Right after them, I would mention Niezapominajki/"forget-me-nots", lovely blue wildflowers that look amazing near small streams/lakes/ponds. I must admit that Mother Nature gave us amazing many views, I'm glad that Poland isn`t all covered with concrete and you can still see them. By the way, I'm curious about wild flowers and where they occur in Europe, I need to learn more about them to satisfy my curiosity ;). I wonder if any other country in Europe is interested in its wildflowers, or if their culture pays any attention to them at all. In our villages, people even decorated their houses with painted flowers... Which I find very cute.
I remember watching the news in the late 80's/early 90's on Polish baseball. It looked way different from American style baseball. It seemed more linear if I remember correctly. Are there two different styles of baseball in Poland?
