Holding doors for older ladies, smiling, saying dzień dobry and do widzenia, talking to bums on the street, throwing trash into trash bins. You got my respect.
👍👍💯
Poland sometimes had a reputation of not being friendly to foreigners. People are called racists. I think that there is a totally wrong statement. Polish people are not welcoming to the people who are not good to Polish citizens and Poland. It is not the colour of someone’s skin that makes them bad, but their deeds and their words .
I came to visit Poland 2 years ago with my Tanzanian friend. He learned some Polish and use to speak whenever he had a chance . Of course he kept smiling . People loved him !
I introduced him to my family. He spent more time with them than me. My family doesn’t speak English but they managed communicating. They even cooked together using a recipe in Polish- he translated the ingredients to English. They thought each other the languages . This reminded me of building Babel tower .
The meal was delicious!
Good people good vibes ,
@@gratitude5740 I have never felt that people were not friendly I've had curious looks and even people coming up and asking about having my face tattooed but I'm always happy to talk to them, in the market in Wroclaw one old lady came up and held my arm and looked for a few seconds ,then smiled and said "artistic" and people around smiled to .
I love Poland and the Polish people .
@@gratitude5740 Leftist newspapers, television and politicians give us this opinion. It hurts them that we are conservative and 99.5 are Poles and Catholics and that's the whole truth but I know that we are afraid of Marxists. Openness and hospitality is typical for Slavic peoples
jak Polak nie robi...smh
You are totally right. Im from the Netherlands and lives now for almost 4,5 years in poland. I love this country so much. I do guide tours in krakow and people always tell me thst they are surprised about the country in a good way. It was the best decision in my life.
Excuse me, why did you travelled to Poland? Just curius
That makes me happy and sad at the same time. It's great to hear you love it here but the fact that people are so eager to make assumptions and don't try to find out more about other countries is really disappointing. I'm Polish and currently living in England. My boyfriend is English so every time we go to Poland to see my family people think he just simply goes there on holiday and ask him "why on earth would you go to Poland?" The same with other non-convetional holiday choices - "why would you go to Georgia/Slovakia etc"
People are still so very narrow minded at times... 😔
you're right, everyone is looking for their place on earth. I know people who don't feel comfortable at home until they find their place that will become a new home
I would also love to know what made you move to Poland in the first place? I'm really glad you are happy in my homeland ❤️
Ik kom uit Polen en leer nu Nederlands :p
I am from Dominican Republic and lived in several European countries and, Poland is amazing. Its people are so friendly and warm. I suggest to visit Poland. You will appreciated it!!
This video demonstrates perfectly why it bothers me so much, that some people think poland is turning towards racism. Just because polish citizens want to keep their core values and traditions alive does not mean we care for skin colour. There is a reason why poland and its traditions survived so valiantly in the face of utter destruction. Its because we value the heart of liberty, love, identity, justice and family. Anyone cherishing these pillars of existence is polish in my eyes, they just dont know it yet.
My ultimate respect and love to Poland and the people . I still feel lucky that my first love was a Polish man. We shared same family values, love for children and older people ,culture, intellectual stuff, politics ,had our own perspective on everything etc etc. Two weeks back, I did a solo trip to Poland after years of wishing to go there and 😌😔
Stop trolling....
Poland saved the west before and must be strong again holding fast against those that seek to undo the realm. I have faith in your peoples and God will bless those that seek to do good.
Poland is a beautiful country, I have been living here for almost 4 years...I love it here. This is my home now
@Studio B Thank you
Me and and my husband would like to move to Poland. He is US soldier and I’m polish with three kiddos. Do you guys have any employment advice??!! He is finished with his IT Bachelor.
I'll join you soon
@@marianogonzalez2210 In case you haven't moved yet: IT is one of the best paid sectors in Poland that always need more people. Depending on his skills he can make anywhere from 30 to 150 thousand $ in a country where you can get by on less than 15 thousand per person. And if you have: how is it?
Our langauge isnt popular so its always pleasure for us, when someone trying to learn just few words.
I love trying to speak Polish, even with my Scottish accent, the people are kind to me.
@@TheCraigaberdeen I'd love to hear polish with heavy Scottish accent XD
@@TheCraigaberdeen Poles like Scottish and Irish people and Celtic culture ;)
jakszemasz from NY
More people like you and world will be better place.
When people say to me 'go back to Poland' I just smile and heart fills with happiness because I know how much better Poland is and one day I will come back 😂😂😍😍
Bo wszędzie dobrze ale w domu najlepiej 😆
Ja też chcę wrócić. Chcę też pokazać Polskę mojemu mężowi z Kamerunu. Nad nasze morze i w góry
I totally agree with you. I'm from India living in Lódz since July 2019. I'm extremely surprised how is it possible that each persons are extremely polite. Polish people, you earned my utmost respect and love.
I am Polish but you've seen many more places in Poland than me!
Polish people, we should start to love our country! Big thanks for this video, you're amazing :)
That's what I was going to say ! You beat me to it !✊🏼👏🏻🇵🇱
I'm Brazilian and live in Kyiv. Just come back from vacations and visit Krakow, mostly because of your recommendations, and I loved! Is a great city and I really wanna to come back to Poland!
visit Wroclaw and Gdansk, you'll fall in love..
I’m Polish and I live in Brasil 🇧🇷 🎉🎉
Wanna= want to; I really wanna come back to Poland
I'm french and thinking of settling in Poland. They have a wonderful Country.
You're doing a great service to Poland. I like that this is being recognised and rewarded by Polish people.
I'm from Poland and I have to say that you made me cry when you were speaking all of those amazing things. Thank you for saying them. I know that Poland is not the best country in the world so thank you for visiting it and loving it❤️❤️
After visiting more than 70 countries in the World actually, I can tell that it is one of the best in the World!
Love watching these videos. I'm American but my entire family is from Poland, my dad was born there and his family is all still there. I've been with a black woman for almost four years and I can't wait to take her there! My dad was surprised when I first told him I'm dating a black woman, but now they hit it off so well, it's awesome. God bless!
Poland needs people like you! Thank you and you are very welcome to our country! :)
I've been in Poland for 10 years now, after Chicago, Denver, then Seattle, and I've never regretted the move. I've been in Krakow but for 2 years that I lived in a small village, and I think that I was the only native English speaker within 10 miles, maybe more. And I never had a problem communicating in the village. A few people were embarrassed or shy to speak to me, but it seemed like most people thought it was an interesting situation.
Kudos to you for going on your adventure.
I bet that you are fluent in the Polish language after 10 years of living there?
I was in Poland a couple of years ago and I loved it. It offers everything that I like. The food, architecture, people, history, culture, geography and much more. It felt as though it is my home. If I was younger I would be happy to live there.
"If they don't have the English menu, this is the place" 😂😂 I immediately imagined you passionately expressing what you would like to order and poor waiter/waitress trying to figure out what you're saying 😅😂
@Kapitan Odbytnica well you're not the best example then 😅
@Kapitan Odbytnica I'm just having a hard time while figuring out whether something is a troll or not. No offence tho! Have a good one 😏
Dobrze ze jesteś bo dzięki Tobie bardziej kocham Naszą Polskę Jesteś wielkim ambasadorem Polski i za to wielkie dzięki :) Niech mój Bóg będzie z Tobą i Ci owoce szczęścia rzuca pod nogi....

Luke please live here one day brother Poland is your country and the Polish are your people. You are Polish to us much respect to you brother.
That's some compliment 💯😎👍👍
I thing to write the same . Good people are well receive ! I can give Luke my spot in Poland 🇵🇱 since I have left my beloved Ojczyzna ! So long . Never goodbye!
❤
You are the best 😊 you make me smile.
Thanks Luke. Please talk about the Warsaw Uprising. Have you seen a Legia Warsaw futball match.
Love your channel. First time commenting.
I haven’t traveled as extensively as you Luke but I get to travel for work and people always ask my favorite city. I tell them Barcelona. But then I always add that Krakow was the biggest surprise for me. I’ve been a few times. Spectacular! Poland is a jewel. Wonderful people. Gorgeous sights. Amazing history. People shouldn’t sleep on traveling to Poland.
I’ve convinced my wife to plan a tour of Poland next year. Start at Gdańsk and head south to Krakow.
Safe travels!
Luke, I just love your channel so much. As a black, female, traveler from California I have always wanted to go to Poland but was worried I would not be received well there. But because of your amazing amazing vlogs and love for Poland I did make the trip to Poland after all. In the summer of 2018 I went to Krakow and had and amazing time. I pretty much owe all of it to you. Thank you for your work. I hope one day you start a tour group. I would for sure travel with you
Please come back!
Big respect man, I love ur videos because of your truthfulness and very interesting content. Hope you will come to Poland again soon cause this country needs more people like you !!
I know exactly what you mean bro ,Poland is amazing and I just bide my time until I can get back so when we get home it's a matter of seeing how quick we can get on a plane again.
The people are just so nice and the cities have always made me feel safe ,I've never felt uneasy no matter what time of night we've been walking around unknown streets and I hope Poland will always feel so welcoming to me ,but I know it will.
@@22ergie what exactly do you have a problem with,how nice I think Poland is or how friendly I find the people ??
@@Archie15559 I have no problem-as I LIVE in PL -silly question...
@@22ergie sorry I must have answered the wrong person 🙄 ,sorry if I offended you
@@Archie15559 No worries...have a good evening...:)
They are noce,because you are different looking.
The personal relations among Poles are full of anger,hate and bull shit.
You lucky,you werent born Polish Man...
Poland loves you too bro. You need to visit more places in that country especially South side tatra mountains etc. Guess nr 3 is Pszczyna 😎.
Ps. Youre gonna love Szczawnica, Kroscienko nad Dunajcem, Karpacz, Szklarska Poręba.
@Cardio_Is_4_Da_Weak this is his decission. If he decide to spend more time in Poland I reccommend these towns. If not I'll be happy to watch his actions from other countries. Simple as it.
Yep, you're absolutely right! South of Poland is beautiful! Especially Bieszczady 😊😊
I was in Krakow this May and I loved it. And I had a similar experience: when I talked in English, they were polite, but when I spoke a word or two in Slavic, they immediately warmed up to me.
Slavic is an ethnic group. Polish is the language of Poland
I’m from Poland and it’s so nice to listen to you ❤️ anyway everyone in Poland has to learn English in school and that’s probably why we know some basics (especially young people)
You gotta see polish mountains! There are amazing places to visit and a multitude of breathtaking spots for you to discover. You ought to go for it someday and check this out for yourself. Regards!
You are really great guy!
Greetings From Katowice!
Mariyacka tonight?
Watching it ages after release. But it honestly made me smile and appreciate my country more. Thank you for that!
I am also incredibly happy you enjoyed Poland, as well as my home town- Łódź. For such attitude, you definitely deserved the best time!
No way dude, it was emotional.. 4 first 10 mins i thought Ur goin' to say goodbye to us cause Ur goin' back to france.. now i dont know, but seeing myself after a year!! from meetup just makes me smile and tear in the same time... maaan its pure pleasure to support your channel for about 2 or 3 yrs now.. Its great to have such a person in internet, in Poland, in life .. Your motto is like a roadsign for everyday routine. And im finger crossed to meet u once again someday, somewhere... Cheers Bro' .. just Amazing.. just love your compilation video's.. just luv it...
I love your Poland videos Luke. I’ve just been to Poznan and Warsaw and loved them both.
We do realize that polish is hard to learn. That's why we don't expect foreigners to learn it. But like you've said few words like dzień dobry or dziękuję are greatly appriciated. I used to work as a bartender in Warsaw. So I know how it feels when foreign tourist says dziękuję. You feel respected by that person. Great video. Thanks!!!
Such a good guy. You're like medication for negative people.. myself included
It is really good feeling to hear a lot of good things about our country from someone like you. You are not talking it to be nice you just really like our cities I am really happy about that :)
go in Polish mountains Luke !
Yeah, he definitely should visit Tatras, Pieniny or Sudety!
Zakopane is the best
Just 2 hours from Krakow
@Czterdziestysiódmy morskie oko and the salt mine is amazing I went there on winter I like it on winter not a lot of people. More local and white snow 🥰 plus a hot beer 😎
Old people dont speak English usually because they wasn't learned at school during COMUNIST time they had to learn Russian now in Poland young people learn English since kindergarten then Primary school and College and they have to pass test from foreign language when usually is English before they go to study at Uni so young people speaks English so if you stuck in Poland and needs somone with English language ask people in 20s and 30s we know English and is becoming our second language. Therefore is a Education gap between old and young generation in knowing English. Many old people have problems to learn English but I'm teaching my Mum and my Dad some English and they're in their 60s and they bit struggling. Thank you so much for your videos and you always welcome in Poland !! We love you Luke ❤
then benagcz it is not the Poland that I lived in many decades ago . I have not seen one black person in my life till I emigrated out of Poland . Now I am making up for those years . I have a charity in Africa . I support disable children, those that were hidden for years from society because it is believed that they are possessed and the family is ashamed of them .
I’m being received very well there and I hope Luke is always well received in Poland 🇵🇱
Long live Poland 🇵🇱
Poland is highly developed, but some dumb people still thinking that going there is something like going to Yemen 🤦🏻♂️. Poland is the same like Germany, Netherlands, France and even more safety. The only difference between Poland and "western" Europe is salary.
I think such comment about Yemen is so uncalled for and could also be considered as dump thinking. There is always a good side to every place in the world - it's just up to the people to make it enjoyable...
@gajagna1 i feel sorry for people you know. All my Polish family and friends, and people I know, can afford to go abroad :D
@gajagna1 no 😂
@gajagna1 😂 I just think you made it all up. I lived in Poland and that's impossible that you cannot afford to go abroad. When flight tickets sometimes cost 39 złoty (8 pounds/9 euro).
I will be totally honest and its based on my own experience. I'm kind of a brown skin guy I visited Poland twice and i LOVE the country, the villages the culture and people were super nice... but, the there were still some people that hated my skin color and they showed it. One example... when i set in train a family prefered to stand next to door rather than sitting next to me. Its sad that there are still people in this day and age behave this way. And also a few incidence in clubs, they hate seeing brown guy dancing with them. Poland still lacks this issue. But I say they are overall great people and they just need to get used to being mixed with other races. I love Polish people
Number one city for Me Torun, I ve been living there for 13 years now, and still love it, Poland Rocks. Greetings from a French guy
Toruń is great 😉 did you try pierniki toruńskie?
@@WielkiHapu gościu żyje 13 lat w Toruniu a ty się pytasz o pierniki xD
I hope you will keep on having positive experiences in Poland. So many things to see, to do. You are an amazing person, so wholesome, mindful and exploding with energy. Take care!
Bro....You dont even have any idea how much my heart is warming up and how much Im proud of being Polish beacuse of your words and your vlogs.Your vlogs reminds me how beautiful country we are living in and how beautiful people we the poles are!!!I dont want to write too much here....I just want to say big thank you!!!It is pleasure to watch your vlogs!!!One love Luke! Magic from Radom ;) Have a nice stay in Poland yet....5!
im always happy to see people having a good time in poland. unfortunately, for me, my family and friends its the other way around - once i have the chance to, i HAVE to leave this country as its painfully suffocating in here (and a lot more of painful stuff).
so it never fails to bring a smile to my face when others are enjoying their stay here, meet amazing people and make great memories and i hope it stays that way.
seeing you so happy and excited warms my heart :)
I have polish roots and i went to Poland three times, speaking not many, but a very little polish, and i always tried to commuicate with "Locals" in my littlem polish, and they were so warm and friendly and quite surprised that a "germanski" speaks polish or is even interested in learning polish^^ Even older ladys without any english were friendly when i was in those little cooking stores, you know which i mean, were two older women are cooking fresh meals for less cash, and you meat every "class" there, old women, "supermodels"(true Luke? I mean, look at these natural beautiful polish women, they don´t need Makeup or fancy dress to be absolutely stunning ;) )Workers with mustaches, and as soon as you as an "clear outsider" start to talk a little polish to someone, even if you are talking to your Buddy from work in german brings up a smile on their faces. I love Poland, and i love Kielce and Warswaw, and of course my family´s "hometown" Wroclaw. Go there, the polish people are no xenophobic morons like they are portraid in the media, i must know it, i am a heavily tattood goth guy with a mohawk, and even they could not show me any disrespect, so make your own experience ;)
Greetings from Germany ;)
Awesome content. I am from Poland currently living in Florida and I truly enjoyed your story. You give us polish people another perspective to look at ourselves and our country.
And you are such a likeable person. 2 thumbs up for what you do. Enjoy the travels !!!
To takie wspaniałe że powiedziałeś tyle miłych słów na temat Polski... Pozdrawiam z Lublina
Powerful and clever mind. Your personality influences on people and make them better. I do the same. And smart ideas. Just simple smile changes the world. It works. I hope you'll never meet evil people. But I think that your behavior can even make racists get friendly and helpful:) Good luck and big smile from Wyźrał near Wadowice!
You are very positive person. You smile a lot, you are open, and you're saying "hello" for random people. It's generate positive reactions. And you discover this simply regularity: smile for people, and they will smile to you! Greetings!
Moving to Poland in a month!
Can’t wait!
Which city are you moving into? :)
Studying in Katowice. Gonna start doing RUclips and a podcast
@@AdAstraLabs Ok, then I hope that you will have a great time in my country :)
Your a lucky person 👍
Zapraszamy 😊
All the best from Luke, a resident of Kalisz.
3rd place is Kalisz :)
Ryszard Kalisz 😂
When you go to Poland ,show respect to country it's self and people will love you . Poland and people with in are wonderful. Love you Poland. Sinsirly ,Henry Oleinski.
You are really very positive, thanks for new cool video, continue make the same amazing blog)
You feel a different vibe in small towns or cities, I agree with you.
What you're saying is inspirational. There's so much respect and kindness in you. You're also very humble. Great qualities to have!
Luke, thank you, for being so positive and for having such a great heart. You are an inspiration to seek out joy and adventure.
Most older people don’t speak much English but you are so right !! If you add even a small polish word they see you’re willing to at least learn and do look at your different ! Greetings from NY
It's very nice to listen to you!🤗😀♥️
thank you that you liked Poland, there are still a lot of cool and beautiful places here, so we invite you!
😍You show that smile, and simply words have power of magic. I live in Poland and sometime think that people here sad but so happy you see other side Poland. THANK You🌞✌🙏
Are you from Poland am loving this country
I think they are sad because salaries are not high like in Germany that is really close
❤ you have mentioned Radom. I am glad to hear that you have visited that small city. It has it's charming side too that many can't see. I salut you.
Awww! This video moved me! It's so nice to see, that people from abroad love Poland this much, while we, poles don't appreciate it at all... Thank you for sharing this with us!
Thank you for all the videos you’re making it’s so amazing to watch your views on the world. Aw, thanks Luke.
in regards to your first point, i think it's mainly about the combination of "exotic" look and polish language. I don't mean nothing bad. When i see a black man or an asian speaking polish it literaly warms my heart. For many years we didn't have much minorities of different color, so it is something we are not used to yet, and hearing polish out of their mouths is an amazing experience. also nothing makes me more happy than when you break stereotypes about Poland.
You're absolutely spot on with your first point, this has been the case for every country we've visited especially Japan. If you make effort to learn or speak even a tiny bit of their language they're generally more hospitable towards you. So take note guys, this can go a long way! 😁🙌
I think you love this country more than most Polish people do. It’s kind of sad that we as a Polish citizens do not admire what we have - I think it might be because of the history of Poland. Anyway I’m happy that there is someone who see more positive things in this country. :)
As a Pole born and raised in Poland i can tell you that i prefer small cities too. And it's not about tourists, but a small community. They know each other and are not indifferent
I would have never expected to click some random recommended English-speaking youtube video (usually I don't watch much of the stuff like that) and see pictures of Kalisz there!
I live in that area and sometimes it feels like it's the middle of nowhere that rarely gets mentioned anywhere.
Hey I lived in Poland for 18 years .... and it's not easy when you are different....so respect
I'm from Pszczyna.
Thank U, for Your visit and find the beauty of the city and people, U've met.
But moustly, i want to thank U for the message u send.
I love my country, althought I've been in few other countries, which i really liked involving people i had pleasure to met..
.. but i love discover MY OWN country 🇵🇱 ..the MOST.💕
This is what i'm showing and "learning" my teenage kids .
Hope, Your visit in Pszczyna, Bielsko-Biała wasn't first...and last 😊
Wish U Best 😊
We need more people like you! Great job. I've never seen anyone to talk so lovely about my country. Well done. xx
I really love the way how you speak :D its so fluent and 'musical' -its really nice to listen. Your attitude is great :) that is why people are also nice to you.
If you were in Cracow, you should also visit Wieliczka, we have beautiful salt mine and city itself is pretty too
Mate I don`t know how this works but you know more bout Poland than I do and I was born there . Thumbs up from me
You are good man.Enjoy Poland.
If you respect people they respect you back.
I just found this channel and I love how you are talking about life and people. Actually, when you were in Bolesławiec, you were only an hour (direct train) away from Żagań, a town where I grew up, which has many interesting sights. If you've seen the 63' movie The Great Escape - this is where the original escape from a war camp happened. There is also a castle worth seeing, which used to have one of the largest castle surrounding parks in Europe, and now most of it has become a beautiful forest with deers and other animals :) There are also, as you'd expect in Poland, some really interesting churches to see; and one of these used to be monasteries (now a school) from the 13th century houses a unique library with the whispering gallery/ceiling (so the sound of a whisper carries from one end of the room to the other as if someone was standing right next to you). There is also a replica of Christ's grave in Jerusalem (one of three in the world), but it actually looks like a small sarcophagus in the yard of a small church. There is a river (same as in Bolesławiec - Bóbr meaning Beaver) winding through the town, and there are some really pretty landscapes to see. It's a small town, but it has a huge military base with some American soldiers stationed there, so people may be used to speaking some English there. :)
You had me at "I don't know why people don't think I am Polish". Nice :)
Luke, you're such a nice and positive person! ☺️ It warms me up inside when I listen to you talking ☺️ great stories, great observations - keep them coming. Cheers! 🙋☺️
You've just made my day. Now when we are bombarded with negativity, when so many people who never been to Poland are calling us all sorts of names. Thank you for showing the truth. How we really are as a nation. Love from the south of Poland.
About the fifth point... I really hate when foreigners say that Poles are unfriendly. This is so much different in Poland and countries we consider as more developed.
I do experience it everyday, as a Pole living in Poland but working mostly with clients from North America or West Europe. They always smile and ask me how am I, but the fact is that they don't really care about it. I would even say that they don't even expect the answer :). Polish people may seem unfriendly by default. But no matter if we've known each other for 2 minutes or 2 years - if I ask you if everything is all right, I'm ready to help you if it's not. If I invite you home it does mean a lot more than just adding connection on facebook.
I would say that people relations in Poland are just... honest. We may seem less approachable but whatever kind of reaction you will get - it's not fake.
Man what a pleasure to find your channel and your upbeat, open-minded and warm-hearted content.
Greetings from Poland. I are doing splendid job dude. Now it is a time to get to know our history.
I love your since of humor " I don't know why because people don't think I am Polish"😂😂😂😂😂😂
You're right people are very friendly even you don't look like Polish but they love to help you and they love when you smile and say thank you in Polish or anything nice.
Well, there are gypsies who have lived in Poland from like 500 years and almost everyone still don't think they are Polish so...
@@ewabrzakaa6395
The spelling of your last name telling me you are Polish
Łódź is awsome thank you for visiting. It becomes one of the most modern places in Poland.
Luke thanks sharing your experiences with Poland. I came across your videos by chance, and I have to admit I am so gutted that my family and I couldn't visit Poland last summer due to Covid. I'm Ethiopian and my boyfriend is Polish, and this visit was for our toddler sons to meet their father's side of the family. But you are right, they are such genuine people. In the meantime, the boys and I are trying to learn Polish until we can visit. Or who knows, maybe uproot and move there from Canada. Your videos have definitely given us something to consider. Thanks again :)
Welcome to the club of travellers - you are not a normal tourist anymore ;)
Totally agree with point 3. US is not only New York and Poland is not only Krakow. It is in the small cities inbetween you see the real country
A person who speaks the local language also takes the local culture more to him self - a regular tourist only lives in his/hers own bubble to he/she gets home.
You're totally right. I've lived in Katowice for for years now and I love it here but people always ask me, why Katowice? and I always answer why not?
Cuz they're stealing palm trees from Gliwice!
Nathalia Peña. Are you still living in Katowice? Where are you from? ¿Eres Latina?
Hi Luke, I've only just discovered your vlog yesterday when it popped up on my RUclips because you went to Bielsko-Biała and I've been looking up trains to and from B-B as that's where I'm from, though I live in UK, and so Google did its job of linking your video with my search. And I'm pleased it did for I've enjoyed watching your visit to my home town, and made my self laugh when you came out from the station and turned right I heard my self shout 'no no not to the right Luke! You ought to turn left to the city centre!' And later on you walked down the very street where I grew up and where my mum lives, I got a bit emotional there, and thought hang on, imagine if I just spotted my mum among the people you were passing by, that would've been incredible! But she wasn't there and so I'm going to see her personally very soon 😊I was also laughing reading all the comments under that video, mostly letting you know that you have not seen the best bits in B-B! I do agree, but you saw what you saw, and you liked it and that's the main thing. You'd need a couple more days there to take the cable car up the mountains, that's a really special treat, also wonderful hikes in the Beskidy mountains. Anyhow I was very nicely surprised that you went to Bielsko and took the video, it was touching to see familiar places, especially that I do miss my folk, so thank you! And thank you Google 😁
I've enjoyed hearing your Polish, very good pronunciation! Hence my question, or a request..can you video yourself saying as many polish words as you can remember? Just for fun 🤓
Btw I've also liked Katowice, I had to stop there as Rayan air failed to fly one evening last year, and so I've a had a good walk all around the central part at night and have noticed huge changes. Katowice as you know is the main city in Silesia which is synonymous with soot from coal mines, and have been neglected for many long years in terms of renovation. This has greatly improved since 2004 when Pl joined the EU.
And Warszawa has been beautifully restored in the last 20 years or so. I'm happy to hear in this last 'hostel' video that you like Poland, and are encouraging people to discover it for themselves.
All the best in your travels, basketball and learning new languages, you sure are already a polyglot!

You're making me fall in love ❤️ with Poland
GO and see for yourself. Have your own opinion. Don't judge the book by its cover. I really enjoyed watching. 👌🏼
Just found your videos and love it that you are so positive about Poland. We retired here 5 years ago and it is an amazing country to live in. Lodz is our nearest biggest town and we love it- so do our visitors.
Born and raised in Warsaw Poland moved to USA in the 90s ..yes if you pick up one or 2 words is life changing..my husband is American and he only knows the bad words 🤦♀️🤣I am proud of my Polish ppl..we are one of the kindest and heartfelt ppl in this world ❤️ and we have amazing food!!thank you for doing this video. Poland is a hidden gem. ❤️
No.3 Wrocław 😄 my home city 😄 it was nice to hear all these things about my country. Thank you.
I'm a Brit living in Lodz and whilst many street spots are krusty but there are many skaters and we have a real good scene here... especially at the big theatre. If you ever come to Lodz and want to skate go to Nervous skate shop or hit us up
Hi Luke. I found Your channel today and I watched a few videos about Poland. I'm happy to hear good words about my country. I'm glad You enjoyed visit in Poland and I hope You will comeback soon. I'll send my regards. Peace✌️
Inspiring, man!
Think open positive people, can open most people with their energy, curiosity, open-mindednes and appreciation. People are drawn to people like that. It doesn't feel awkward, and people like to talk to strangers if they feel comfortable.
I will be totally honest and its based on my own experience. I'm kind of a brown skin guy I visited Poland twice and i LOVE the country, the villages the culture and people were super nice... but, the there were still some people that hated my skin color and they showed it. One example... when i set in train a family prefered to stand next to door rather than sitting next to me. Its sad that there are still people in this day and age behave this way. And also a few incidence in clubs, they hate seeing brown guy dancing with them. Poland still lacks this issue. But I say they are overall great people and they just need to get used to being mixed with other races. I love Polish people
Thank you for this video on the behalf of Polish people. We are often perceived as rude, infantine yahoos with a small country totally not-worthy to visit. Because of these opinions, people are scared and detered to come and see for themselves. You are showing, that there is a beauty in people and in places and I was really touched watching, because I cought myself not appreciating where I was born and raised. If you ever come to Łódź again - we'll be waiting to shake your hand and give you a warm hug of appreciation for your attitude and work :)
I am from small city in poland and i only know what i lerned in middle school. Suprising i understand everything what you said. Very good speaking, people should learn your English. Thank you this video. Hope more fantastic people like you will go to our Country to smile together. :)
Poland is as Poland is. Everyone who visits Poland will have a wonderful time, as long as you respect their culture, respect their traditions and respect the people. Show any disrespect, and you will be shunned, if not dealt with quite forcefully. They are a proud people.
