Nice to here such interesting live story about you! Greetings and always all the best in Poland!

[@PrinnieSophia]

We are so enjoying your videos. We were lucky enough to visit Poland and stayed in the sofitel old Soviet hotel on the square. We visited the memorial every day. Good to see your hubby on the other side of the camera. My dad retired from the Air Force and my husband served. We know what that life is like. I loved growing up seeing so many places! Please keep the closed kitchen videos coming although we love the cooking videos too.

About the bricks, my father-in-law used to say, "Next people not from Warsaw will say Bemowo, Bielany, Ursynów etc. is also built from these bricks" ;) (Tongue-in-cheek)

I really enjoy your Friday episodes and appreciate all the work and research you put into it. Your Zurek looked wonderful, Mark and I could definitely hear the crispness of the crusty bread but I am sure it doesn’t compare to Anna’s. An ice cube maker while camping is a fantastic idea! Warsaw looks very beautiful and it’s amazing that it was rebuilt to its original layout and architectural design.

So impressive that Warsaw was rebuilt just as it was before WWII. I completely understand, because it's beautiful. Anna won the great ice debate. As it should be. But I'm with Mark on tripe. No sale. Love these Friday travel vlogs.

Really enjoyed that, I was in Warsaw in January 1991 right after they were independent from the Soviet Union. I’m pretty sure the large building you see behind the guards at the tomb was the hotel we stayed in, can’t remember the name. Old town and the castle still look the same. Would love to go back

uhh I'm curiositied, love your footage of the old town square. All those apartement looking buildings are they mainly offices or do people actually live in them? I assume you'd have to be a tourist, crowd loving millionaire to get into one, or like parts of New York (i think) they are handed down the generations father to son type a deal. would be interesting to wake up late on a Saturday opening your curtains and be an exhibit to a thousand tourists piled into your courtyard. If a Warszawiak sees this please let me know. Dzienkuje.

I grew up in Warsaw and never heard anyone calling Pałac Kultury Stalin's penis. Maybe they do now ... like it or hate it, it is and will be a major Warsaw landmark, just like The Chrysler building or The Trump tower in New York. I know that they try to get rid of all names associated with communism but Pałac Kultury i Nauki sounds better (in Polish) than Pałac Młodzieży.

It’s a good video. Mark’s narration provides plenty interesting information about Polish history. I like it, but I would like it more if Mark had said in it that it was Germans who invaded Poland and destroyed Warsaw, not Nazis. The Wehrmacht was a military arm of German state, not the Nazi party and only 31% of Wehrmacht officers were the Nazi party members. I’m sure Mark would not say that Republicans invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, or that Democrats invaded Vietnam. Nowadays, the ‘Nazi’ label is used as a weapon to discredit political opponents in many countries and it gradually becomes less and less identified with Germany. It’s not a joke, but some Germans claim that Germany was the first country invaded by Nazis (!?) German propaganda machine is working hard on taking responsibility of Germany for the WW2 aggression and war crimes. The term, ‘Polish death camps’ is a German propaganda fabrication created for this purpose.

[@lindalankowski474]

I was in Warsaw in May 2013. Many, many more people on the streets, including gypsies (Romany). You did not talk about the people of Warsaw saving artwork from the Palace. And Stalin's .... is a dead giveaway for where you were. Warsaw still has too many ugly Soviet buildings.

@@markhurning8051 He didn't put it in a nice way but this is true, from what I remember (and I'm not that old) no Polish soup was served in a bread bowl, we just wouldn't waste a loaf of bread to make a bowl out of it. But I also remember that żurek was served with a slice or two of good Polish bread, as you eat it you'd dip the bread in żurek, so yummy so good so filling. So serving żurek in modern Polish cuisine in a bread bowl makes sense as they go together very well. BTY, the żurek looks so good that it made me hungry and homesick.
