I love both of your channels but this channel has opened up the possibility of all these new places to travel. I'm so envious, I didn't have the want or know how to travel when I was young. You are very blessed and smart and I am really proud of you. 😊💜💙💚

[@catherinekayy]

Oh my goodness thank you so so much! :') what a wonderful compliment thank you for watching!

[@haitianotr]

I definitely recommend that you travel. There's so many things to see, the experience is worth it. What are some of the places you want to see?

[@lindseyedgell-wilkinson6991]

[@catherinekayy]

Oh thank you so so much 🥹🤍 honestly that coffee place is AMAZING ❤😂 I wanna go back we bought beans to take home and we’ve used them all 😂❤

[@maximus4peace]

I must spend Christmas 🎄 there. So different than in North America

[@Liisaa2010]

Love Krakow during christmas!! I had the best latte from there. Miss it everyday :( and sooo much comfort food.. YUM!

[@catherinekayy]

so delicious hehehe

[@mashapokazhet]

On 7:10 there are old 19th century ads on the wall of the Cloth Hall, from the period of Galicia, district of Austrian-Hungarian Empire, which Krakow was part of. The ads promote First National Soap Factory from Lviv (which also was a part of AHE) and it's sales stand inside:)

[@Paperinparadise]

WOW WOW WOW this was a beautiful vlog and how beautiful is Krakow! Loved the ambiance

[@catherinekayy]

It’s so stunning! I want to come back 🥹🥹🥹

[@roisinohagan1711]

That's unfortunate that Dean felt sick, hope he recovered for the following day...nice vlog, tfs!

[@catherinekayy]

I know right! 🤍🤍 he managed to still have a good time after thankfully!

[@katewets5457]

ahh what a shame I didn't know you going to visit Kraków, I would love to say hi in person! Love your vlogs from Krk, I live here and still didnt know about couple of places :O hihi, lotf of love xo

Oh wow! You live in suchhhh a beautiful city I love it here 🤍🥹

[@katewets5457]

@@catherinekayy thanks

[@boskee]

Pierogi Ruskie are "Ruthenian Dumplings", not "Russian". They come from a region called Ruthenia, a historical region, formerly part of Poland, now in Ukraine.

[@catherinekayy]

Oohhh thank you so much for sharing this! 😮😮😮❤❤ super informative! You da best!

[@karo4524]

@@catherinekayy The name is confusing, for sure. Boskee explained it well. I'm just going to add that the word "Russian" translates to "rosyjski" in Polish.

[@robertrobski1013]

Pierogies originally came from China

[@jynstardust]

@Robert Robski and? Potatoes, tomatoes, sunflowers, squash/pumpkins and apples are all from the Americas. Pierogies have a dumpling type outside and potatoes inside. Who cares, they are delicious.

[@jynstardust]

@@robertrobski1013 btw there is a LONG list of new world plants that the old world has embraced into their cuisine. We don't care. Enjoy!

[@romeoandjuliedotcom]

fascinating. i never leave nyc of course every other person on this island does. btwn them n u its eye opening. i adore these vlogs

[@jynstardust]

I was born right outside NYC and it's amazing how many people that don't know NYC is all islands! Everyone knows Venice and tropical islands, but I guess NYC just doesn't have that 'island vibe' so to speak 🤣 And I agree with you, I love watching these!

[@romeoandjuliedotcom]

@@jynstardust i think ppl like me are bad at geography! no sand, a rock w concrete on it. its fun tho! xo

This was incredible! Now I want to go to Poland!

[@catherinekayy]

Poland is such a cool country! We love it!

[@MarlyLynn]

The travel vlogs have been so lovely to view and live vicariously through you. Hoping one day to see more of the world, myself 😊 Thank you for sharing.

[@tarabooartarmy3654]

Catherine, I want you to know that your videos (here and on Katnipp) are always the very first ones I view in a day. Every time you post I feel like it’s Christmas, and I can’t wait to open my present! ❤

So fun! I love a good market! When I had my business I participated in a monthly market for almost 5 years. I love visiting all the different vendors and hearing their stories.

Its crazy isnt it, such good value for money here!

Aww poor Dean missed that really cool wizard place 😢

[@catherinekayy]

I know right!!! We took some videos to show him! It was such a cool place! 🥹🤍

[@nikka00]

Please, don't call them "russian pierogi", cause they're not. They are "ruthenian pierogi". Thank you :) Very nice vlogging!

[@margplsr3120]

My hometown :-) Now I live in Tricity in Poland :-) You are making beautiful, estetic videos! and informative and interesting! You are waaay better than other youtubers I ve ever seen I think. Of course sub for you :-)

You had a chance to try the poop coffee and you DIDN’T?? 😮 Taylor R tried it! 😅

7:10 - You've asked for translation. It looks like these are old shop/market signs. - The first one says 'Steam factory of Chemical Products, Karol Rzacy (Karol Rzacy being a name)'. The text below is too out of focus + cursive to read, but it mentions paints, oils and products made of leather such as belts or shoes. - The second one says J. Jhnatowicz (a person's name) 'First national factory of perfumes, bathroom and hygiene products from Lviv recommends it's services in Krakow'. I suspect a factory from Lviv was selling it's products in this building. My translation might not be the best, but hope it helps.

[@catherinekayy]

This is super helpful! This was indeed a market all the way back, thank you so so much ehhehe

[@inac2496]

@@catherinekayy You're welcome love, glad I could help and pay you back for all the content that brightens my days :)

[@yakeosicki8965]

These dumplings with potatoes and curd are called "Ruthenian dumplings". Some translate it into English as Russian dumplings. This is wrong, ignorance and primitivism (I don't hold a grudge against you. You don't know the intricacies of our history.). Ruthenia was part of Poland for 1000 years. St. Jacek Odrwoąż brought it to the rest of the country from this place. These dumplings are called "pierogi ruskie" in Polish. The word "ruskie" means something from Ruthenia. This word began to mean Russians in everyday language at the end of the 19th century. That is why many people associate the word 'ruski' with Russia, not Ruthenia. Ruthenia today is western Ukraine. Russian dumplings are pelmeni. 🙂

it wasn't sheep's cheese, it was made from cow's milk. You can get real sheep's cheese only in the mountains in shepherd's huts, only in a certain season from the beginning of May to mid-October. Everything else is a fake

[@paulikaarinen7325]

It's not Russian pierogi, it's RUTHENIAN PIEROGI. Ruskie = Ruthenian Rosyjskie = Russian

[@catherinekayy]

ohhh thank you! The translation on the menu was Russian! So this is super helkpful!
