@@JayandKarolina what part of Poland does Karolina come from? I spent the whole of september in 2003 in Warsaw we were with the Prince's Trust and stayed in a hostel that looked like an old Prisoner of war camp as there were bars on the windows and barbed wire on the top of the fences lol I could not beleave the speed of the traffic (very fast lol) and the tram system was great

My first trip to Poland was in 2006 and I was impressed by the beauty of the country. In 2020 I met my Polish girlfriend in Barcelona and we go every summer and every time we have free days. Warsawa is a beautiful city, I think it is the cleanest. of the world . I miss coming back.

[@JayandKarolina]

We’re happy to hear you always make great memories when you come to Poland 😍🇵🇱 For me it was kind of the same because when we met with Jay, he started to visit me frequently in Warsaw and it became one of his favourite cities too! It’s very convenient to live as well 🙌 [Karolina]

So have you decided to make Warsaw your home now? I have been to Warsaw myself and was there before Brexit. I came for a long weekend and had to visit the Polytechnic of Warsaw's Mathematics department. Foreign people have to get a certificate called B1 hence my long weekend tour. The exam itself was a waste of time but I met some very nice people from the former Soviet Republics who wanted to settle in Poland so had to take the examination. Freezing cold with ice and snow on the ground, Warsaw towards the end of November was not the best time to travel to a place like that. A moze latem bede znowu w Krakowie i moge przyjechac ku Warszawie pociagiem na kilka dni, zobaczymy. Trzymajcie sie!

[@JayandKarolina]

Great question Michael! Basically, you can say that we have just started our series of travels, so the longer we manage to be smart and start making real money, we will probably continue until we get bored 😂 We thought to make our base between Poland and England, so that from time to time time to see family and shoot videos! Poland is definitely colder in the warmer half of the year - in this video we were filming at the beginning of March and we were also freezing 🥶 Thank you for watching!

[@KukusPique]

27:00 some say that the other meening of the PW sign is "Pamiętamy Wawer" ("We Remember Wawer") in memory of Wawer Massacre that took life of 106 men on 27th of December 1939

[@JayandKarolina]

Thanks for sharing! It is certainly an extraordinary symbol of the Poles' determination to regain the country from the past, which every Pole recognises... I personally was very impressed, especially after visiting the Warsaw Uprising Museum, because many people do not know Poland's past 🙏

I'm glad you liked it in Poland. Poland does not start in Warsaw and do not end in Krakow, Wrocław and Gdańsk. I recommend the Polish mountains (Tatra Mountains, Bieszczady, Beskids, Sudetes...), but also the "lungs" of the whole of Europe, i.e. Masuria (a land of forests, thousands of beautiful lakes and many interesting places worth visiting).

[@JayandKarolina]

Spent two nights in Warsaw before my final stop to Budapest few days before xmas. Stayed at this apartment style hotel room and the room is like a one bedroom apartment, modern and tastefully designed and good service and costs like SGD70+ per night and located in the central of Warsaw. Gutted I got food poisoning on my first full day. Did a free walk tour to learn about the dark history of Poland during the Germany invasion.

[@JayandKarolina]

It's great you had a chance to dive into Poland's history a bit because its turbulent past explains a lot about the current state and culture 😉 Actually, the accommodation cost is quite affordable but with the rapid development and inflation the prices have been constantly rising! It's a shame you got the food poising but maybe also because of a different bacteria? I had the same situation in high-developed Asian countries where the food was great 👍

[@chalayan]

@@JayandKarolina travelling is all about learning the country's cultures and history and I used the couchsurfer app a lot to meet likeminded travellers to hangout. Yes it was a bummer and I was having dinner with a few others on my first night at a local polish restaurant and a light breakfast the next day. But I remembered after the history walk, went to the foodcourt with an American guy and halfway through, started feeling unwell and vomited in the restroom. Went straight back to the hotel and immediately KO. Woke up feeling better and I realised inlost my Moncler beanie and searched the hotel lobby the whole evening and thank god the hotel concierge found it and kept it for me :)

[@Tweewhite]

I really enjoyed the video, finally watched all the way to the end. Any chance you guys going to Italy in the near future? I’ll be in Rome next week. 😉

[@JayandKarolina]

We are glad to hear that ❤️ It's completely different approach when it comes to filming but since we wanted to implement some more history and inflation, we enjoyed strolling around and actually creating something more insightful for you 😍 We will be in Italy in June indeed, but only for the friend's wedding!

0:55 You have to add that the king was Swedish nationality , that fact should be interesting for foreigner .

[@JayandKarolina]

That's right 👍 Sigismund III Vasa sat on the Polish throne, and after his father's death he also became the Swedish king 🇸🇪 (as well as Grand Duke of Lithuania 🇱🇹 and Finland 🇫🇮). Unfortunately, developing Sweden needed a ruler in place so due to this, Sigismund was later dethroned.

Nie wiem dlaczego Polacy zawsze biora za pewnik, ze kazdy Angol jest po prostu bezmozgowcem ale to nie prawda. Dzisiaj Anglia juz nie tkwi w Unii, co najmniej teraz kazdy Anglik musi sie uczyc i zdac ten egzamen B1 aby zostac w Polsce. Moze to nawet sprawi, ze angielski umysl stanie sie bardziej otwarty.

Hey Jayesh. When are you planning on putting karolinas name in the youtube channel name? Give her more credits she deserves man.

[@JayandKarolina]

I understand where you are coming from but Karolina is happy with it being my name. We aren’t a typical travel KZbin couple - I’m the one at the forefront doing the camera work, editing, thumbnails and video ideas. Karolina prefers to do things in the background and so we compliment each other very well. The truth is I’ve spent the last 4 years learning about KZbin and now I’ve created a situation for Karolina where she can leave her 9-5 corporate job and travel the world. So yes Karolina deserves credit for supporting me in what we’re doing but it’s easy to overlook all hard work I’ve put in 😅

[@iiyaan]

Not denying all the work you put in but I guess if this works for you then so be it. Wishing you you both all the happiness and success. Bless

18.17 Very tasty will be bardzo pyszny or bardzo smaczny, the adjective dobry has a more general meaning.

[@JayandKarolina]

I always mix it up and Dobry/aor Dobre e is the easiest for me to remember 😂 But the further we went, the more confident I felt to start speaking some basic Polish! It’s so difficult though 🙏🇵🇱😅

[@michaelmckelvey5122]

@@JayandKarolina it is not your fault, rather the fault of your girlfriend who should have translated the word better, pyszne jedzenie or smaczne jedzenie. Dobry is simply the masculine form of the adjective and dobre is the neuter form of the singular adjective. I was simply questioning the choice of words not any grammatical issues.

[@izabela1961]

We are probably the only nation in the world where people don't smile when a foreigner tries to speak our language which is quite difficult and your pronunciation, Jay, is very good. Sorry. The French are the same. Doesn't matter how good your French is (mine was excellent once) they would always smirk/sneer when you speak it. Or pretend they don't understand. Especially waiters and shop assistants.

[@JayandKarolina]

Yes, that's so true Izabela... Why is that? For me as a visitor from abroad it is unfortunately an unpleasant experience, because I don't know if people are upset, angry or if they don't want tourists haha. That's another thing - we came to the conclusion with Karolina that whenever a person doesn't understand or doesn't want to speak they pretend not to hear you or just go away. It's very sad because a smile and a little gesture or using the translator would solve sometimes or in most cases the issue 😥 In my mind there's no reason to be ashamed of anything.

Warsaw is still not a modern city comparing other capital cities.I know it was destroyed and it was renovated but there are still many things to change such as many ruined buildings, graffiti on walls and many oldfashioned technological solutions(e.g.lack of lifts).There are nice places worth visiting but comparing other capitals in the world there is still a lot to do in Warsaw.Warsaw in not tourist oriented(lack of big shops with beautiful souvenirs like e.g.in Vienna, the museums are still not developed to global level).I strongly recommend visiting Vienna to see how the city can be beautifully managed and developed(Wien Hauptbahnhof is amazing, many beautiful buildings in excellent condition, cheaper toilets for citizens than in Warsaw,many well developed attractions and amazing transport connections).

[@JayandKarolina]

It's true, Warsaw could still be improved in many respects. You've mentioned Vienna here - the cradle of European culture, senses and art and, of course, the capital of the historical monarchy. However, in terms of prices and the standard of living, Warsaw is a city that rose like a phoenix from the ashes and we really couldn't get enough of modern solutions :)

[@michaelmckelvey5122]

Try visiting it in the summer though. Like most places, it 'comes alive' with a bit of sunshine. I remember I was in Warsaw in late November some years back and it was absolutely freezing. I had to walk through some of the streets close to the main railway station and make my way to the Polytechnic of Warsaw. I was taking my Polish language examination and I came to Poland in a new pair of shoes that were not 'broken in.' A big mistake, I was in absolute agony so at the last minute I had to borrow a pair of old sports shoes from a lad with whom I was staying. As it was, the shoes were split with holes in them! Just imagine how cold it was for me walking through the ice and snow of a wintry Warsaw with a pair of shoes with holes in them and I had to pass my Polish B1 citizen exam at the same time 'to boot.' I always remember my short experience in Warsaw, Poland in winter. Spring is a much nicer time to visit Eastern Europe. Anyway, as it was, all went to plan and I still got 89% even with such cold toes!
