@@damianz6248 There are videos of Poles being unable to do the same (Matura to bzdura). On top of that I found the educational system in Poland I had experienced in the late 90's to be enslaving. Filling your entire days with school + homework plus filling your head with a lot of dry knowledge that needs to be memorized while most of it ends up becoming useless once you reach adulthood. I remember memorizing all rivers, countries and their capitals on all continents in high school in Poland in geography class. It's better to know where to find information and using/expanding on it when needed than flooding your brain with all of it at once and then just using small part of it. Expanding your knowledge should be driven by passion instead of mindless memorization.

Regarding bakeries, Sunday meals with the entire family, and walking everywhere ... you described MY childhood in a small city in Wisconsin in the 50's and 60's. My mother lived this same way till she died in 2011. To this day, I can't eat that soft, white cotton-like bread that you buy in stores. I still make my own bread the way my mother did and I'm so grateful that she taught me how to cook and bake the old fashioned way ... everything made from 'scratch'! The aromas in my kitchen are heavenly when the bread is baking! I also agree 100% with you on how American education could be vastly improved. Sadly, too many Americans do NOT know their OWN history much less know anything about other countries. Great video! I can't wait till you publish Part 2!

I would add: 1. Considerate drivers - driving through Poland, and other European countries, the driver etiquette is much better than in US. People get out of your way, let you through, and keep out of the way when driving slower. In US it's "I have this huge SUV/truck. I own the road! I'll drive however I like. GTFO of my way!" 2. Dress code in public - doesn't matter what time of day it is, you will not see a Pole in the grocery store or supermarket wearing pajamas or looking like a total fashion disaster. I'm looking at you Walmart. I will also unquestionably agree about the knowledge and thirst for knowledge, as well as the greater awareness of global issues. It is something needed very badly in US. Pretty much everyone has a smartphone, which easily gives access to every piece of knowledge created by humans in history of humanity. To remain willfully ignorant, and stuck in a bubble, and echo chambers, seems to be very popular in US.

As a sport fan I'm really impressed how universities and even high schools have an own American Football , Basketball , and Baseball teams. And being an athelte and player dosen't colide with finishing the school and university and it's even a pass for playing in pro league. In Poland it could be intersting to have an Univeristy League for example in soccer or as an alternaitve for Ekstraklasa and other leagues.

I find it interesting, what you have found interesting in Polish way of life. Having myself emigrated from Poland (in communist time) and living in Canada for more than 30 years, still don't accept certain things in north-american way of life. Possibly it is less common in Canada than in US eating junk food. Still lot of even poor people don't cook food at home but buy processed frozen food.

Another great video - regarding bakeries I agree but try to find a good bagel anywhere like you would find in Montreal or NY, after bagels were invented in Poland and Vienna after Sobieski's liberation. Car repair canals were the norm in Canada when I was growing up - yes I learned how to do my first oil change and underbody inspection from my mechanic dad back then. Eating out - I am not the norm as I ask my wife where we will go out for a meal tonight, but now with COVID its all eat at home and I noticed we now shop for food daily for out meals - back home in Canada we did on grocery shopping spree on Saturday for the week - unfortunately on Thursday we were going through the fridge tossing food we did not use or was going bad.

Russel, if you do a part 2 of this, one idea i really like (although its maybe more of a European thing rather than only Polish) is the diamond right of way on each street. So if the lights are out for example, people know who has the right of way instead of the 4 way stop which many just fly through the intersection without stopping. The second thing I also liked is that when the city gets less busy, the lights start flashing yellow where the right of way streets are good to go while the the side just waits until the street is clear and can go through. Less time waiting at the traffic lights...

[@penguinsfan251]

Cześć! This is one of the best videos you have made. Enjoyed it much. As for Americans showing an interest in the outside world, well, a they say, good luck with that. I will use my own Polish family (my dad's side) as an example. Great Grandpap stowed away on a ship to leave partitioned Poland and never looked back. To this day, my extended family never has and does not have any interest in setting foot in Poland. Not me - I can't wait to go. Polish unity - well, my family, being of Polish ancestry, has had its share of bickering and grudge holding. Poles love to argue. There is a major divide in the USA - between the West Coast and the Northeast, and the rest of the country. It's fine with the coasts if the manufacturing gets sent to China. Walking - well put. Most Americans don't live in large cities and don't want to. Lousy housing stock, poor schools, high taxes and crime drive most to the suburbs. Nobody wants to raise a family in most American cities. The suburbs are NOT designed for walking. Thanks to Amazon, the Internet, social media, malls, which were great for just walking around on a hot day just to people watch, are dying out. Being brutally frank - great idea. One can thank American "higher education"...if you want to call it that, it's really an expensive ripoff - for turning young American adults into a bunch of foaming at the mouth crybabies. Corporate America shoves "sensitivity training" down the throats of the cubicle dwelling drones, lest someone get offended and sue everyone in sight. While TV shows and TV commercials tend to make the white male dad a blithering idiot, don't dare offend anyone else. The permanently offended class will dox you, complain to your employer and try to get you fired. Home prepared meals - always cheaper than eating out. The thing is, this requires planning and hard work. Hand in hand with this is growing a vegetable garden and maybe even some fruit trees. We had a huge vegetable garden and countless fruit trees. This was common among many people, not just those of Polish descent. My great uncle and aunt served a big Sunday dinner for her daughters and their families - did it for many years. Not my grandma - because my family lived 100 miles away, and my uncle's family was 330 miles away. Poles had to be resourceful during so many difficult times. Americans had victory gardens during WWII. Bakeries....yup. The megasupercenters have driven them out of business throughout the US. My Great Grandpap lived across the street from an Italian bakery in Tylerdale ("Washington, PA"). My dad always bought a couple of loaves to take home with us when we visited. That bakery is long gone. The closest bakery to me is the Bethel Bakery in Bethel Park, PA. Awesome place! As for the pit in the garage....wish I had one. Great Grandpap had one in his garage in Tylerdale. I would not suggest much in the US to implement in Poland. One exception - the right to own and bear arms shall not be infringed. Poland, if you had your own guns back in 1939, imagine how many dead Germans and Russians there would have been.

Also i will agree with bakeries, but it depends- i mean random bakery in Poland is ok, but if You find that one bakery in whole city usually owned by some older couple- its best bread/ buns etc. In my home city there was bakery owned by that older couple, they opened up at 11:00 (normaly bakeries in Pl opens at 6:00-700), and like an hour later they could close, because they didnt had anything left to sell, they were selling out in one hour every day for few years :D

Hey Russell my Polish wife agrees with you on most everything in your videos, we are in the USA currently but we have an apartment on Aleja Tadeusza Kościuszki right across from Cinema City in Częstochowa, we are looking forward to returning soon👍

Jestem zdania, że polityka ma na nas wszystkich zły wpływ - nie ważne w jakim kraju żyjemy. Społeczeństwo nie powinno się dzielić tylko dlatego, że ma inny sposób patrzenia na świat i wartości jakimi chce się kierować. Wszystko co ma w sobie politykę dzieli - filmy, seriale, sposób nauczania. Powinniśmy być uczeni przede wszystkim wzajemnego szacunku dla siebie i nie narzucania niczego siłą tylko umieć dyskutować i podejmować decyzję za pomocą zdrowego kompromisu. Zupełnie jak w małżeństwie. Lubię cię słuchać i oglądać :) Cieszę się, że mamy takiego Polaka który reprezentuje nas godnie na yt :)

[@AmiRa-wj9jt]

A co do nie marnowania jedzenia: Już od paru miesięcy nauczyliśmy się z mężem mrozić pieczywo które kupujemy w większej ilości. Nasz polski chleb czy bułki po odmrożeniu smakują dokładnie tak samo jak przed zamrożeniem i są świeże/pachnące. Dzięki temu nie marnujemy już pieczywa, kupujemy tyle ile pomieści nasza zamrażalka, pakujemy je do worków, nic nie leży na wierzchu, nie psuje się. Moim zdaniem to świetny sposób na zaoszczędzenie pieniędzy i nie wyrzucanie ich w błoto ;)

Hi Again For your next video - I suggest bringing up the point of in Poland and Europe we have on demand hot water heater that are either gas or electric. These only heat the water when flow is detected in the water line. Back in Canada and US we normally have these big 25 gallon (100 litre) hot water tanks that are kept hot through out the day until hot water is used - they continually are heated by gas or electricity. Canada and US can save huge amounts of energy using these on demand hot water heaters, but unfortunately the energy suppliers will not be happy with less energy used. Food for thought.

[@damnedmadman]

But in Poland most people have the hot water provided by the supplier (I guess that's the right term). When it's not available, they use the electric boilers which are insulated and keep water hot for a long time. They are more ecological because they use the cheaper electricity during night and early afternoon. However on demand gas-powered heaters are very popular too. Electric on demand heaters are the least effective solution and that's why they are rarely seen here in Poland.

[@WGal-er8bm]

@@damnedmadman yes and no. in apartment blocks the general heating is through a centralized heating system - similar in Belgium where I lived. But for everyday showers and general running hot water it is usually through a point of source on demand hot water heater, normally using natural gas. Centralized heating systems are a left over from soviet times - just think if you are not in your apartment for a period of time the heated water still keeps coming. no do not get me started on all the homes that still use coal or wood to heat their homes - this is the biggest problem with air pollution in our country, i.e. Krakow smog.

[@WGal-er8bm]

just one more point in N. America where it tis cold homes are normally heated with forced air systems providing heat in cold weather and coolness in hot weather - this is aside from the hot water system for supplying heated water for showers, bathing and cooking.

[@Monika-tv8np]

This girl who called your hair "sciernisko" is a new generation type of Polak. My generation would never said that openly and definitely not into a teacher's face. As a matter of fact I remember my biology teacher who had a funny 90's hair style and we quietly were referring her to have an egg smashed on the top of her head lol, but never was said in her face.

In your videos there's so many interesting things about PL/US differences that I simply have to ask - what's your personal opinion on weapon access?

[@LoveMyPoland]

100 percent pro gun!

[@amjan]

@@LoveMyPoland You have to make a key distinction here, Russel: Where? In Poland: Of course no guns, as has always been the case. Zero reasons to introduce them. And I'm sure you yourself appreciate how safe you feel in Poland and how much a non-issue guns are and how gun violence is literally non-existent in Poland. In the USA: That's a different question. It is too late not to have them as banning guns would be a process impossible to carry out. It would be better if the USA didn't have guns in the first place, but that's not possible anymore and practically unattainable at this point. Agree with me? :)

[@LoveMyPoland]

@@amjan Friend, you'd be surprised how many Poles illegally have guns. I have a friend who's a criminal prosecutor. I am ultra conservative about guns. I do feel safe in Poland, but at the same time, we (Poles) are not really free. I'd like to see Poland adopt gun legislation like the Swiss. Poles have ZERO ways to effectively keep the government in check.

All of those things would improve America a 100%. Even I have a tough time with the snowflakes. Today now it's all about other people's feelings. It's very sad to see and a product of our school systems. Another sad thing to see. I agree with healthier foods. I've met many people that have come over from other countries and they just can't eat the food here. The food is tasteless due to the chemicals used to grow them to send them to the stores. I look forward to a day they stop using them. Many Americans are starting to turn to homesteading to eat better food because we know how it's grown and put on the plate.

[@rheinhartsilvento2576]

It's an interesting trend ☺. And I totally understand people doing that. But I must say I find it convenient to be able to go the store, buy food, and not be eating pure chemistry. (I'm in Belgium)

It’s so true about bakery’s. I cannot find one bakery in the state of Virginia that can bake bread. I’m from Jersey and there are quite a few bakery’s that make rye bread and fresh Hard rolls. There are plenty of Polish delis that sell freshly Made babka, rye bread & chrusicki. If I opened a bakery here in Virginia I would make quite a good living.

Wow, impressed y your Polish vocab 😊👍. Great! The plural of bakery, however, is bakeries. Not bakery's. That's the possessive. As in- I love this bakery's products, especially the makowiec 😉
