as for shoes ... I think like this: home is a temple, the most intimate space when you enter it, taking off your shoes is a physical symbol not only of respect, but also that you leave all your sorrows, anger in your shoes and enter in to the place where to whom we want to give you all our love, in order to make your life more pleasant even for a moment.

[@Michal-gg3qz]

Na dokładkę napiszę, że mamy takie powiedzenie " Wchodzić komuś butami w ..." . To oznacza, że ktoś mało delikatnie, bez skrupułów wtrąca się w coś komuś, narusza czyjąś przestrzeń.

[@buritogringoson]

This is quite twisted in Poland It is a good practice to take off your shoes when entering And it's a good manners to tell your guests that they don't have to take their shoes off :D

[@marygembczyk]

You and your guests are supposed to argue a bit about it ‘because the place is so dirty!’ only for them to take off the shoes in the end

[@rabarba6]

Wrong just provide slippers without saying anything if you don't have slippers for your guests then IT is rude to tell them to take their shoes off.

[@Googaify]

This is really not a rule anymore in Poland and will depend on an individual. I'm Polish and I was raised that asking guests to take off their shoes when they come over is rude. Obviously close friends will take their shoes off to feel comfortable but that's totally up to them

[@Googaify]

​@@rabarba6 I'm Polish and I wouldn't feel comfortable having to wear someone else's slippers. It really depends on a person. Personally I never expect my guests to take off their shoes unless they want to. And if they want slippers, they will ask. Young people usually no longer offer or wear slippers at house parties, we usually hang out with just socks on.

[@sylwiazientek5182]

@@cheekymonkey5150 haha what country is that? Spain? I experienced something similar in Spain. When you go to a supermarket there and the cashier takes 10 minutes to move the three products over the counter, I get quite frustrated about how slow you can be. And then I go back to Poland, and the cashier throws all the products in 3 seconds onto the counter, and she does not even wait until you pack your stuff, she just starts serving the other client and throws their products at yours! Ridiculous!

[@zl8018]

@@sylwiazientek5182 Good place to train your patience in Poland before going to some "relaxed" country is a post office, especially if you have to pick up a registered letter. Usually it looks as follows: 1. You wait in a queue. You are lucky if people before you just want to send their letters, but if they are buying items not related to postal service or even worse if they also want to pick up letters or parcels - be prepared for a very long waiting. 2. It's your turn at last, but you must wait for the lady behind the counter to finish filling out some papers related to previous items she dealt with. 3. You hand over the advice note which the postman left in your mailbox (despite the fact that you were at home all day and the doorbell works correctly). 4. (Main part of the action starts): The lady takes a huge pile of letters from the shelf and starts viewing them slowly one by one (n-th time during that day). She makes it to the last one but your letter has not been found. 5. She checks carefully the date on your advice note and shouts to her colleague in the back of the office: "Krysiaaa, don't you know where else might be letters from . Krysia points her to some other shelves. After checking them the place where your letter is still remains a mystery. 6. The lady gives up and tells you that maybe the postman just hasn't left your letter in the office yet (although the advice note is from yesterday) and tells you to come again tomorrow. Not always all the above points occur simultaneously, but some subset of them - almost every time. I'm amazed how our post has managed to avoid implementing any of the improvements which modern technology (or just a sensible work organization) offer as it goes to handling registered mail. Fortunately more and more things can be done online now and, as it goes to parcels, private companies work decently and often even very well.

Przestałam się przejmować tym, że w Polsce się ściąga buty w domu po tym jak dowiedziałam się że w Turcji też. Jakoś mi się miłej zrobiło, że nie tylko my tak mamy. Ja sobie czasem biorę stopki do znajomych:)

[@PiotrPilinko]

W wielu krajach się ściąga: w Korei Południowej czy Japonii również uważa się, że łażenie po domu w butach jest nie tylko niekulturalne ale również skrajnie niehigieniczne.

Jako Polka, która mieszkała w Turcji zgadzam się z tobą 😉 Od razu byłam jak tubylec, bo zdejmowałam buty 😂

Ale w Polsce się nie ściąga butów w odwiedzinach. Jakiś cholerny upadek obyczajów ostatnio nastapił? W internecie widzę że ludzie piszą o ściąganiu butów w domu i nie rozumiem o co chodzi. W każdym starszym podręczniku savoir vivre stoi jak byk że od gościa nie wymaga się zdejmowania butów. Co najwyżej gość wychodził z inicjatywą że je zdejmie zeby nie pobrudzić i nie robić kłopotu. Czemu zawze towarzyszyły protesty gospodarza żeby tego nie robić, że nic nie szkodzi, że to żaden problem. Jeszcze gdy byłem mały to była to norma. Ba, jakoś z całą rodziną się uchowaliśmy i nie miałem pojęcia że teraz tak się to zmieniło.

The take off your shoes thing really isn't a rule in Poland anymore and will vary from house to house. I'm Polish and I was raised that it's rude to ask your guest to take off their shoes UNLESS maybe if it's winter and it's wet and muddy outside and you have carpets everywhere lol. Nowadays people (especially young) who come over usually just ask if they should take their shoes off and the host will usually leave it up to them. Most of the time people end up taking them off anyway but more for their own comfort if they're about to hang out for hours than for anything else. Same with slippers, when friends come over I think it's safe to say the majority of people especially young doesn't use or even own slippers anymore either.

[@Michal-gg3qz]

Z tym stresem to mogę się zgodzić. Szybkość dnia codziennego nie potrzebna jest w chwili relaksu. Czasami jednak ciężko jest tak nagle przeskoczyć🙂. Lepsze ubranie się na imprezę domową oraz ściąganie butów dla mnie to oznaka szacunku dla gospodarzy. Każdy dba o swój dom. Oczami wyobraźni widzę jak ktoś, nie raz na kolanach, musi tam sprzątać. I pewnie sprzątał tam przed moją wizytą. A na ulicy nigdy nie wiesz w co wdepniesz. Chodzenie w butach w domu gdzie są dodatkowo małe dzieci to już całkiem nie mieści mi się w głowie. Papcie dostajesz, bo z kolei gospodarz martwi się czy Ci nie będzie zimno w stopy, lub żebyś nie ubrudził skarpet. Podsumowując - każdy chce dobrze 🙂 Pozdrawiam 🙂

as a Pole I can tell you that the cold food is kind of a tradition that started in WWII. Because when people from the Polish underground resistance left to (for example) gather information about German troops or go on patrols, they had to eat cold food because they didn't have a way to heat it up. They started making food that will taste good even when its cold.

5:18 In Poland for the last couple of centuries a guest was not obliged to take off his shoes when visiting. A guest *could* take off the shoes of his own volition and initiative, especially if the weather was bad and his shoes were dirty as a result, in a gesture of good will and to show respect to the host. Although this was usually protested by the host.

I like your honesty. I am Polish and I also do not like desserts with fruits like you 👍, for example- 'szarlotka'. I like fruits in general, but I like to eat them only fresh, not mixed with something. I also do not like football and it is true, it's so boring. You also realized me few thinks that we polish people do, like giving the guest our 'kapcie' . We do it automatically without thinking ( most of us), because our parents were doing that. When we think it through, you are right, it is not hygienic to do it. Maybe only if they are new, plastic/gumy and washed properly and disinfected each time some of our guest will were them ;). Do not know if it is a good idea to be honest. I am team ' kapcie' ( our own 😉 ) as I found it not hygienic and safe to not were them. The floor is not never perfectly clean and sometimes can be something sharp on the floor, like some piece of glass that we can not even see and then it is a big problem when will go inside your foot. I agree with you about Poles rush to much. I do not like it too. I realized that the pressure of not having enough time make me rush, stress to much. Stress is a killer. We need to learn to do relax more with you and enjoy our life ;) I used to do thinks fast, especially the things that I do not like to do and then I had more time to enjoy my free time ( do it , forget about and then relax), but as I am getting older, I do not have energy to do thinks fast any more. Greetings for the wife and son.🤗

[@morsmitt3126]

I dont' think "kapcie" are that popular nowadays. But you HAVE TO take off your shoes. If someone asks you not to, TAKE THEM OFF ANYWAYS. It's just the thing we say but we never mean it. Every time I see in movies people on a bed or couch with their shoes on I have really hard time wathing this.

[@blinski1]

I mean it. I don't like this custom, it's just unfriendly to me to make guests do something particular with their own clothing articles. If they want to keep their shoes, hats, jackets, why not. Also if they feel comfortable with keeping their sunglasses on indoors, cool with me. My mom always hated when guest acted like they knew better what she wanted and put their shoes off when asked to keep them if they want to, especially when dressed up for some holiday dinner. I also never put off my shoes when told not to (I always ask), and never got any problems with that, but maybe I just have natural allergy for people who live more for clean floors than their friends or cannot communicate clearly and that's why I usually don't have to put them off (but often want to, if I know I would stay for longer and it's some casual visit).

I expected my viewpoint to differ substantially from yours, but quite to my surprise, I partly agree with your opinions (I'm a Pole). With points 3, 4, 7, and especially with point 6 (too fast, stressful lifestyle - I definitely thinks that we the Poles, should relax and just slow down a little bit). Points 2 and 5 are a matter of tastes, mine differs from yours. About the Polish summer, I'm not its fan either, not because it's hot as a rule, but because it's so changeable, tropical heat alternating with cool/rainy spells that may ruin the plans to have a good time at beaches (as this July has been, too). In general, I feel tired with Poland's perpetual weather instability and temperature ups/downs from one day to another throughout the year, regardless of the season. I never get used to it. Btw ... there are also a few things that I definitely dislike about my country, that you didn't mention. ;) Speeding for example.

If you don’t like Polish Summers, then never live in Chicago or Japan. Especially Japan! Talk about unbearable heat and humidity!!!! As for taking your shoes off, this really is a cleanliness issue and you can always buy yourself your own personal pair to take with you when visiting someone else. It is also a sign of respect and if you think it’s bad in Poland, in Japan you have to do it everywhere not only in peoplePeoples homes. Try finding your shoes after visiting a Japanese historical place where there are hundreds of shoes. Takes a while to find yours. The other thing that the Japanese do is put on surgical paper coverings on your shoes. Those are easy because you can put them in your pocket. Poland is not the only place or Japan, where this is done. Also had to do it in China and in many parts of Europe. There are many non-fruit desserts in Polish cuisine, but generally European desserts are fruit focused unlike the horrible artificial and sugary desserts available in North America.

I painted the door frames after six years. It was after a hundred or so questions from my wife when I will. The answer was always tomorrow. Doing things fast is not really Polish, it is rather a thing of Polish women. Men in Poland live the mañana culture in relation to their wives - I will do it tomorrow :-) Not wearing shoes at home in this climate zone makes sense. You will not wear shoes that are wet or in snow, etc. In summer, in shoes that are dusty.

I also hate cold food!!! Warm is always better

So... This is your point of view. Fortunately for you if we are talking about desserts you should try some cakes like Wiener cheesecake, one pound cake (ciasto piaskowe), ciasto półkruche, babka drożdżowa (szczególnie jeszcze ciepła z masłem).

Też nie lubię piłki nożnej, agresji i zdejmowania butów (u mnie nie trzeba), ale to są osobiste, nie narodowe cechy. A to zwlekanie ze zrobieniem czegoś, to chyba męska rzecz. Międzynarodowa. ;-)

With the taking off shoes the best commentary on that I saw in a vid by a Hungarian guy living inthe US: Guy takes off shoes - oh, you don't have to take shoes off here! - you sure? I just stepped in a huge dog sh.t?! - weirdly, we don't xare about that here.

I love polish summer I was born there

[@ricardobartolomei3562]

Oh wow llevo tres en Varsovia y estoy de acuerdo contigo. I can be on my socks but I'm not gonna use someone else's chancletas. Sweets are too sweet, si lo comes completo tendrás dolor. And definitely, I can't understand the stress, porque están apurados para todo, nunca viven ni disfrutan el presente.🤔😂I think that we latinos live in the Xtreme left and poles on the extreme right. Aunque los más jóvenes son diferentes 👍👍

[@magdamorrissey7640]

I hate old kapicie too, I do not take shoes off in my house , but in my mom’s when I visit, I do. I dress in jeans and sneakers for the house party, but my friends are used to it

[@rafalszczepanski98]

I am a Polish and I hate cakes with fruits too. I am a one of those who don't eat grandma's baking because of that. Unless it's makowiec :)

[@cheekymonkey6573]

Well in my parents/grantparents' house as soon as the guest would start taking off the shoes, the host would say "oh, no, you don't need to take the shoes off, the floor is dirty, it hasn't been swept today" (the floor obviously had been swept, but it was kind of a polite formula). Then the guest would make up his/her mind whether to take the shoes off or not. In my mind kapcie are for the guest's comfort, not everyone likes to sit hours in heavy, dirty shoes. On the other hand not everyone likes puting on someone else's kapcie. So the decision is up to the guest, definitely not to the host. In my house guests usually sit in their socks, but I also have kapcie for guests who stay overnight to have something to put on after shower. Those kapcie are always put to the washing machine after the guest leaves, so they are clean for next guest.

[@vanvink8593]

😂😂😂 Very clever! You complained about Poland in such a way that.... not complain about Poland :) "I don't like summer, I don't like fruit, I don't like football". You have a great understanding of what 'zdrowo kombinować' or 'wyślizgać się z tematu' means, so you are already ours :))))

If you haven't been to the Lech - Legia match in both cities Poznań / Warsaw, you missed a lot. The setting of the match is a championship, how the fans can cheer their team. You must see it!!!

Wow, what a great episode, so good to hear I am not Polish being Polish :) #1 - Polish summer sucks! Hardly anyone likes it here, really! July for example again is so cold, rainy, terrible... We've had only a few hot days in June, and they were unbearably hot. But then rain and wind again :/ #2 - Hmm, I am not typical Polish then :) For me "our" desserts are WZka, napoleonka, sernik, "murzynek", karpatka, piernik, makowiec, babka and no fruits there ;) You are right, fruit cakes are not good! #3 - I know practically nobody around to have kapcie, most people have flip flops ;) So maybe that is going to change in a way you like too ;) #4 - dressing up for house parties, yest it is weird, but thank God not when you go to your friends / homies ;) #5 - ha ha soo true, when on holidays we always eat warm breakfasts, then coming back home we magically turn cold again... #6 - ha ha so true again, I don't like it too, better always to take your time #7 - So true, football sucks! :) PS. Try żużel :D

[@blinski1]

żużel hooligans can also act quite brutal tho

[@bastian33o2]

Wearing someone's old slippers is a pet peeve of mine. It's gross and I'm totally with you on that one. I never complained about Polish summers when I lived there. They were bearable and at night they were pretty cool. That is not the case here in the States. Summers are hot and very humid, even at night (unless you live in the Southwest where the air is dry). Imagine temperature reaching 36 (or higher) and have 95-98 humidity. After, several minutes of being outside, your shirt becomes wet. Honestly, I would rather have Polish summers than Chicago summers. Cold breakfasts? You can always toast the bread, or have a hot meal such as bigos, fasolka, boiled Polish sausage, scrambled eggs, zapiekanka, etc.

[@aniagalas2100]

Well then try kopiec kreta (banana's) my fav. And krówka

[@sylwiazientek5182]

Yeah I am the same, I hate when they add JAM to wuzetkas! Wuzetka is good with chocolate and whipped cream. Jam ruins wuzetkas. Same happens with cheese cake, don't add orange bits in there or raisins, noooo. But yeah I love ciasto owocowe... if it is not dry. And makowiec, that is also true, many times it is too dry. Normally, rolada makowa is less dry and more tasty. Just don't buy cheap makowiec haha. The best makowiec I have ever had comes from cukiernia OLSZA. And it comes in two versions, with white cholocate or dark chocolate, I love ther makowiec, and I have never had a better makowiec, and believe me, I tried a lot of makowiec.

[@r2r.m]

You are more Polish in this video than many Poles 😅😉

[@VigosDad]

[@alice8156]

I agree. wearing other people's slippers is just disgusting for the hygiene reason. But it's the same at ice skating rinks, at bowling, hundreds of other people were wearing these shoes before 🤢

[@izabela1961]

Being Polish I also hate two of the things from your list: 1. The summer heat in a city when you can't concentrate, have a shower 5 times a day and smell people in crowded places. 2. Taking off the shoes. This comes from the village culture. After working all day in the field the farmer had to take off the shoes because they were for working and they got dirty. Nowadays, walking in slippers (somebody’s!) is a shame. I understand if it’s raining or snowing outside and you have been walking then yes, you should bring clean shoes with you and change them. The same at a house party. But walking in socks wearing an elegant suit or dress and maybe dancing, is very untasty. For many Poles a house or a car is like a temple, has to be clean at any cost, even if they die from tiredness at the end of the day, the floor must be clean! That's why we are overworked, stressed and tired all the time. And doing things in such a big hurry as you say, because cleaning takes lots of time. No time for enjoying life. But, on the other way I hate the latino-mediterranean slow pace of working, a few pages of xerocopying takes hours for a hotel employee there. Never on time, never finish anything. An everyday mess! I used to work in an Italian and a Spanish company. It was a horror!

[@mrtomcruise5192]

Hi guys dobry den for the video. Sorry i don't know bye in poland.

[@izabela5097]

1. zgadzam się 2. nie zgadzam się, owocowe dobre 🙂 3. 1/2, młodsze pokolenie raczej nie zdejmuje, starsze tak, można chodzić boso, po co kapcie 4. zależy do kogo idziesz i z jakiej okazji 5. co kto lubi 6. zrobić, co zrobić, a nie zastanawiać się godzinami, szkoda czasu 7. zgadzam się, siatkówka lepsza, dla mnie bardziej dynamiczna i wymagająca

Hello again! we agree with some things here too! the thing of the shoes it is a bit crazy, and to top it off when i come home i have to put on home clothes... there is specific clothing for everything! the thing that Polish have to do everything there and than, it drives me nuts! we end up ( my polish other half) arguing about it, as me being a Maltese, always we take things more relaxed. And last the football here...yeah it is too extreme, seems like hooliganism ( once i saw a news footage of a group attaching other supporters with a sword on a tram!) is a trend for the most part, you will see graffiti of their football team literally everywhere!! I learned the Ruch Chorzow logo by heart seeing it painted everywhere ( i live in Chorzow for now)

It was not a sword, but a machete, and (IRONY ON) it's a form of a traditional greeting in Krakow between Wisla and Cracovia gentleman, please don't be judgemental. Especially since they are kind enough to almost never kill outside of their own. (IRONY OFF) For real it's not really that much of an issue no more, it's cooling off if you will and these days it's not uncommon - finally! - to see whole families enjoying the game at the stadium safely.

[@magorzatawinecka334]

Hehe, great video. I like to take off the shoes at home, it's like respecting the space of others 😉 But I do not wear other peoples "kapcie" 🙊🙈 I don't like it and in Turkey they are pushing others to do that, they do believe if your feet will get cold you will have upset stomach🙆 So I was crazy Polish in there 😂 And to be honest, football looks stupid, I don't get it 🙈 I always was more latino in doing things than avarage Pole...I don't understand that rush 💁 But anways you're catching Polish features very well 😳😍
