🇵🇱 IS THIS OLD TOWN GDANSK IN ALL IT'S GLORY? DO THESE TRACTORS SUPPLY ALL THE AMBER?

It's been over a year since I last visited Gdansk and explored some of these historic streets. This was a special day, I arrived in the middle of a protest and way too much construction. Join me as we do our best to check out the old town on this walking tour and travel vlog. We will check out the star map, find a cute little lion, visit a few churches, and explore the old amber alley. Expect a few stories, a travel tip or two, and of course some ideas on what to see and where to visit when visiting this beautiful city.
This is part one of two in historic downtown Gdansk.
Let me know what you think and if you enjoyed the tour.

No way! I used to follow your videos everyday in autumn. And now you're in my city? What a treat! I'm watching!

[@TravelwithMrJon]

@lukaszw1 Thanks for watching. Yeah, I'm back, new channel. I was in Poland for a week and got some new material. Gdansk there are three of four videos out right now. Then on to the next city. Glad you found me again.

[@lukaszw1]

@@TravelwithMrJon I'm glad too. I've introduced my brothers to your videos in hope to get them into Jonathan Kuiper's lore. They'll get there!

[@TravelwithMrJon]

The lore huh? That's funny. :)@@lukaszw1

[@lukaszw1]

​@@TravelwithMrJon my favourite word recently. You have your own style so that's a compliment 😀

[@TravelwithMrJon]

That's fair and true. :)@@lukaszw1

Thank you for watching. There's more in Gdansk coming. @jakujag2254

[@katarzyna4667]

The bells might be coming from the only carillons in Poland, which are in Gdańsk, in the town hall, and, the biggest in this part of Europe, in St Catherine 's Church.

1. They let you into two churches. I assume you went to confession 🤔 2. "I'm sure this is going to be the best view ever" - and then this construction fence 😅🤣😂 3. Rolnicy strajkują w całej UE przeciwko tzw. "Zielonemu ładowi" i importowi zboża i innych produktów rolnych z Ukrainy. Zielony ład ma na celu zlikwidowanie rolnictwa w krajach UE. Niemcy dogadują się z krajami Ameryki Południowej ( Brazylia, Argentyna ) żeby UE kupowała od nich zboże, w zamian Niemcy będą sprzedawać do tych krajów swoje samochody i sprzęt AGD. Do tego wielkie holdingi rolnicze z kapitałem zachodnioeuropejskim wykupiły na Ukrainie dużo ziemi rolnej. Produkują tam dużo żywności złej jakości ale nie mają gdzie jej sprzedać więc chcą wypchnąć swoje produkty rolne do krajów UE. Oczywiście UE kłamie że to wszystko po to żeby ratować planetę, żeby zmniejszyć CO2. Zielony ład i import z Ukrainy zabije rolnictwo w krajach UE. Dlatego rolnicy strajkują w całej UE. Do tej pory strajkowali w Niemczech, Francji, Belgii, Hiszpanii, Polsce, Włoszech, Rumuni, Słowacji. Dziś był strajk rolników w Czechach. Produkty z Ukrainy są dużo tańsze bo tam nie ma restrykcyjnych regulacji dotyczących produkcji żywności, można też stosować pestycydy zakazane w UE. Rolnicy pokazywali że do Polski wjeżdża spleśniałe zboże. W internecie są filmiki na których ludzie pokazują śmierdzący cukier czy śmierdzący makaron. Niemcy chcieli zarabiać na tanim gazie z Rosji poprzez gazociągi Nord Stream I i Nord Stream II ale interes im nie wyszedł bo Putin zaatakował Ukrainę. Chcieli kupować taniej gaz a potem sprzedawać go drożej takim krajom jak Polska, Czechy, Węgry. Teraz Niemcy chcą zarabiać na żywności 😞😞🙁🙁😡😡😢😢😢😢

@nonperson22 I felt really upset that I said it's going to be a great view to only have it ... be ruined. I let you down. Thank goodness I was able to get into two churches to make up for it. 3. I was not aware of the Green Deal. That's not a positive development. I didn't know about the other protests as I thought it was just Poland protesting. I am not surprised Germany is trying to make money of the situation. Wow. Thanks for sharing all of this for me to better understand.

[@zbigniewpillow6692]

Everyone who can read the letters of the Latin alphabet knows that this is the monument of Johannes Hevelius (in Polish: Jan Heweliusz).

[@TravelwithMrJon]

Not everyone is looking for the letters when they see the monument. I for one was more focused on the constellations and still am. I had to have Google Maps tell me it was Copernicus. @zbigniewpillow6692

[@pb218]

22:32 You didn't even notice that you passed the column with the thermometer of Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit, who was born and lived in Gdańsk.☝🏻🤷‍♂️

[@TravelwithMrJon]

@pb218 That sucks :( I wish I had noticed. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I'll have to look next time I'm in the same area. Never knew that fact.

[@pb218]

​@@TravelwithMrJon Look at the left side of the screen. The column is located opposite the green door. ☝🏻

[@TravelwithMrJon]

Thanks! @@pb218

[@karolkowalczyk33]

Not Copernicus but Hevelius. Astronomer from Gdańsk . XVII century. 100 years after Copernicus

[@TravelwithMrJon]

@karolkowalczyk33 As you might note in the thread, there is a debate on the astronomer.

[@michalkosmita5194]

You should more time to explore Gdansk, Sopot, Gdynia, Hel, Waldyslawowo and Kaszuby

[@TravelwithMrJon]

@michalkosmita5194 I made a Sopot video as well if you look. And explored more of Gdansk on this visit as well.

@@TravelwithMrJonhave you been to Wrocław my friend. Up the Penitents bridge. Although high. It’s marvellous.

Not yet. When I return to Poland, I'll visit. It was on my list when I moved to the country but never got there. @@callumkent7155

Because protesting. thats why

[@TravelwithMrJon]

@ZoeMuller80 Thanks Zoe :) I thought as much but figured it would be a good title to begin this vlog. Did anything come of the protest?

[@ZoeMuller80]

@@TravelwithMrJon probably nothing. as always lol

That's what I figured at least if thinking about all the other protests in Europe. Not much gets accomplished.@@ZoeMuller80

[@ramatgan1]

This city is so grey and depressing.

[@TravelwithMrJon]

@ramatgan1 Grey at times, depressing, I don't agree. There is more to the city to see and well the winter months are always tough, everywhere if no snow on the ground.
