No one in Poland assumes that tourists should speak Polish! But there are many translators, immigrants and hobbyists who speak English naturally.Every city in Poland has an old central district, also small towns, which we love. Warsaw is extraordinary because we rebuilt everything brick by brick, also monuments and tenement houses destroyed by the Germans to the ground, they were to liquidate this city. But compared to Mexico City, Warsaw is small....

@AleksandraOstrowska-Jagoda thank you for the Information!

You don't "perceive Poland as Central Europe" because the image of Europe has been shaped by communism. So people today associate Eastern Europe almost entirely with the former Eastern Bloc. Theoretically, there wouldn't be anything wrong with this if it weren't for the various stereotypes-of Eastern Europe being portrayed as gray, backward, undemocratic, etc.-which are often completely inaccurate. The Iron Curtain fell over three decades ago, and most countries, that never wanted to be under Russian influence in the first place, have done everything they could to leave this part of history behind. Moreover, historically, it’s just not accurate for Poland. In the past, Europe was rather divided based on Latin influences or Orthodox influences, which shaped political and cultural settings. Poland used to be an empire that was always Latin, closely connected culturally and economically with countries like France, Italy, and Germany. Therefore, it feels quite strange to be lumped together with Russia and countries more similar to it, as historically we've always been in opposition. There’s probably no other country in Europe that fits the concept of "central" better than Poland-it’s a Slavic country, but also Latin and Western-oriented, despite having a history of being under Russian influence that still affects us today.

Personally, I like Warsaw a lot-the 'glass center' is beautiful in my opinion, for example the Plac Europejski area. But that's exactly because here it's the opposite of what you said-all the cities here are several hundreds years old. We have old architecture in pretty much every little town. I'm from Kraków, which is very historic, and while there are skyscrapers and modern buildings too, they usually form a separate part of the city, because the center is already densely built with old architecture. So it's just that-what you are used to and what you find interesting because it's something different. As for Warsaw, many people actually don't like it too much because it's a bit like a 'patchwork'- since it was destroyed, there are different patches that were rebuilt at different times: some old buildings that survived the war, the reconstructed old town, some lackluster communist buildings, and now some very modern districts. It isn't very consistent, but I think it's part of its charm-it reflects the history of this city and how much it has survived.

Poland is a royal country. There are hundreds of castles, palaces, and noble manors. You had the first prince of Poland, Mieszko I, mentioned here. Until the 18th century, Poland was a monarchy. The most important castle for us Poles is the Wawel Castle in Krakow. The place of coronation of many kings and queens and the burial place of rulers and presidents. The castle in Malbork is the largest castle in the world. In Poland, there is no problem with communication even if you do not know the language or a Pole does not know your language or English. Poles are helpful, friendly. Using English or another language will be more visible among young people. Because my older generation, due to the Russian captivity, we were forced to learn Russian. Hence, it is harder for us older people to learn English. There is no such thing as Russian or Ukrainian pierogi. You probably mean Ruskie pierogi, which everyone translates incorrectly as Russian, and here it is a region in Poland and Ukraine called Ruthenia (in historical times there was Kievan Ruthenia - Kiev is the current capital of Ukraine). During the Russian-Ukrainian war, the people who do not know geography and history change the name of Russian pierogi to Ukrainian. The bulletproof vest, its creation was not related to the difficult history of Poland. Poles often had to flee the country from enemies, of which there were many in our history for hundreds of years. The bulletproof vest was invented by a Polish priest who emigrated to America to the Wild West and there noticed a certain relationship, that cowboys who wore silk clothes were less injured by bullets. So he invented a vest made of different layers of fabric. This has now transformed into another discovery by a Polish woman who invented Kevlar. Fighting for freedom in Poland is because we are often attacked. Poland was partitioned three times. The last time Poland disappeared from the world map for 123 years (Poland was divided between Germany, Russia, and Austria) and it was not until 1918 that we returned to the map. But in 1939 Hitler and Stalin started World War II and attacked us again. After the war in 1945 the West handed us over to Russian captivity and it was not until 1989 that we returned as a free country. We have to fight for freedom all the time. Poles are about 75% Catholic. Mieszko I, mentioned at the beginning, incorporated Poland into the Catholic community in 966. Catholicism has historically had a huge influence on Poland. It is closely interwoven with Polish culture. Pope John Paul II, for example, had a gigantic influence, for example, on the overthrow of communism in Poland and then in the world. There were many priests, martyrs and lay people during the German occupation and the Russian occupation, who with their heroism and faith went down in history, often giving their lives for others. These are stories that could be read for months (examples: Captain Witold Pilecki, the Ulma family, Father Maksymilian Kolbe, Irena Sendler).

People change the name of pierogi ruskie to Ukrainian, not because they don't know history- quite the opposite. They do this because some people mistake ruskie for russian. And the region of Rus where these pierogi come from is much closer to today's Ukraine than Russia.

[@MonikaMazgola]

Yes, younger generation speaks English. Some people from older generation as well. If you are lucky some people speak also Spanish and other languages.

About monoethnicity. You mentioned history, so indeed, Poland's monoethnicity is a result of its history. Poland was never a colonizer; we were not like the Anglo-Saxons who traded slaves and transported people from Africa to America or Europe, or like France who colonized half of Africa etc. Furthermore, after WWII, when Stalin changed the borders of Europe to create Soviet satellite states or Soviet republics, he made sure that they were ethnically homogeneous. That is why, for example, there is practically no German minority in Poland, and Poles from Belarus or Ukraine were resettled to today's Poland. Moreover, our culture's long struggle for independence made us less interested in multiculturalism and we do not necessarily see it as something inherently valuable. Furthermore, as Poles, we do not have a colonial or racist history, so there is nothing to apologize for and we do not feel the need to integrate or blend in with communities with a different historical background. So your observation is spot on, but as I mentioned, it has historical roots. Some people think that multiculturalism is beneficial, but... you only have to look at the Balkans to see the potential problems, or consider the current conflicts between Israel and Palestine. So for now, the mono-ethnic model seems to work well in Poland.

[@DanioUliettthegallivanter]

@robercikgb.6745 Yes I absolutely agree and I think because Poland still be in it majority a homogeneous country that makes Poland to keep its traditions, and still be an authentic country, I hope that never change because that makes Poland very special !

The Baltic Sea is warmest in August and coldest in February. In August, the water by the coast is up to 21 degrees Celsius, and in February, if the sea does not freeze, from 0 to 2 degrees Celsius. In May and October, the sea has a temperature of about 8 degrees. The Baltic Sea is not a typical sea. It has low salinity by the Polish coast, about 7 per mille, compared to 35 per mille of the average ocean salinity and about 37, for example in Cancun and Acapulco. There are many layers of water in the Baltic Sea with different salinities and temperatures. It can therefore happen, for example, in August, that due to the action of the wind, water with a temperature of 2 degrees and a salinity of e.g. 2 per mille will reach the surface, or, for example, in February, as a result of a storm inflow from the North Sea, water with a temperature of 10 degrees and a salinity of e.g. 12 per mille will appear by the Polish coast. To sum up: in July and August in most resorts the water temperature is above 15 degrees, usually between 17 and 19, which allows bathing especially at an air temperature of 25 degrees and above.

Hello Anuliet !! Sorry if I didn't spell your name correctly. My name is Bogdan, and I also live in Canada like you. I accidentally discovered your channel/vlog and you already have another subscriber and loyal viewer. I know you are going to visit my home country Poland. If so, I wish you a pleasant stay, and maybe you will be able to see what was built after the fall of the "wall" that divided Poland and other countries of the "eastern bloc" from the western countries. These countries included Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and the former Yugoslavia which was not covered by the USSR regime after the end of World War II. All the countries mentioned except Yugoslavia were occupied by Russia and Stalin. If you want to know more, give me some contact. I will also send you another opinion to read.

The word combination Śmigus-Dyngus is so ancient that it is currently incomprehensible, like a children's rhyme, Śmigus means fast. It is the name of Easter Monday - a youth custom with water, derived from the spring joke of hitting with a young branch, picking up girls at the river or maybe baptizing ?

No "baptizing", since it's a pagan Slavic custom.
