Piotrkowska Street is the longest street in Europe. Łódź as a city began to develop in the 19th century. It was a city of very rich manufacturers and the working poor. There is a film nominated for an academy award from the 1970s. Title The Promised Land, directed by Andrzej Wajda (he received this award, but later). The film tells the story of the formation of Łódź and capitalism. Lodz will be a beautiful city in a dozen or so years. Old buildings are slowly being revitalized. We still need time and money. A new city center is slowly being built. This city resembles cities in the USA more than Europe in its structure. The monument depicts Tadeusz Kościuszko in the middle of the renovated square. He is a hero of Poland and the USA. He was an American general in the Revolutionary War and a friend Prezydent Jefferson. Manufaktura is a former factory complex of Izrael Poznański, known as the king of cotton. 22:57 Manufaktura borders his palace.
These are some great facts about the history of Lodz. I did not know about the cotton king or that Piotrkowska Street is the longest in Europe. It's good to see this city being restored. 🇵🇱👏
"Fart" in Polish slang means good luck. This monument in the center is a monument to the national hero of Poland and the USA. General Tadeusz Kościuszko - a close friend of Thomas Jefferson, with whom he shared ideals of human rights, Kościuszko wrote a will in 1798, dedicating his U.S. assets to the education and freedom of the U.S. slaves. General Kazimierz (Casimir) Pułaski (also a national hero of both countries). Casimir Pulaski was a Polish nobleman who became a brigadier general in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. One of the United States’ first cavalry commanders, Pulaski brought organization and proper training to the Continentals, securing the titles of “The Father of American Cavalry” and “Soldier of Liberty.” During a cavalry charge on October 9, 1779, Pulaski was mortally wounded by a grapeshot. They both took part in the American War of Independence against the British.
Tadeusz Kosciuszko is a big hero of both the uprising in Poland during partitions as well as Revolutionary War in America against the British. He was a skilled engineer with a military education by the time he arrived in the American colonies from Poland in 1776. Offering his services to the revolutionary cause, he masterminded a key British defeat at Saratoga and oversaw the building of military fortifications at West Point.
@@TravelAddictGuyYes, both Tadeusz Kosciuszko and Kazimierz Pulaski (who came to the United States in 1777 to serve in Washington's army and helped form the American cavalry, which played a crucial role during the Revolutionary War,) should be included more prominently in school curriculum here in States, for sure. Btw, one side of that Tadeusz Kosciuszko monument in Łódź shows a relief of George Washington on it.
Cieszę się,że odwiedziłeś moją rodzinną Łódź🙂. Łódź to miasto fabryczne,taki polski manchester. Aby te Łódź odkryć,należy wcześniej poznać jego historie. To unikatowe miasto na mapie Polski. Wiele jest w nim perełek architektonicznych, ale trzeba wiedzieć gdzie szukać😀. Pozdrawiam ruclips.net/video/OZzY--3DpXE/видео.html
I really liked Lodz, it does have some grim areas though, I walked from Kaliska train station to the main street in Lodz and that area is a bit run down.
Yeah the worst thing is not getting a good nights sleep in a hostel if somebody is making lots of noise. I had a bad experience in Katowice with a guy from Ukraine putting the light on throughout the night, playing his mobile loud and drinking cans of beer in the room. I know for some it might even be their home but you still have to respect the other people in the room that are maybe tourists.
Lodz was the most run-down city in the 90-s. Heavily destroyed during WW2 by Germans. There was a huge Jewish diaspora in the 30-s of XX century. It has been an industrial/manufacturing city. Some of it has been rebuilt after ww2, but most of the resources have been allocated to Warsaw. Not to mention that some of the buildings have been disassembled and re-constructed/used in Warsaw. Lately, this town is getting a lot of investment and let me tell you - it will be awesome 10 years from now. Especially that the buildings which have been saved - will be renovated and made into hipster-feel areas.
There used to be 2 Galcias in Europe one in Spain and one in Poland/Ukraine (Galicja in Polish) Galicia (/ɡəˈlɪʃ(i)ə/ gə-LISH(-ee)-ə;[1] Polish: Galicja, IPA: [ɡaˈlit͡sja] (listen); Ukrainian: Галичина, romanized: Halychyna, IPA: [ɦɐlɪtʃɪˈnɑ]; Yiddish: גאַליציע, romanized: Galitsye) is a historical and geographic region spanning what is now southeastern Poland and western Ukraine, long part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.[2][3][4] It covers much of the other historic regions of Red Ruthenia (centered on Lviv) and Lesser Poland (centered on Kraków).
@@TravelAddictGuy No worries, if you go to southern Poland you will see - Galicja word in many places. Cracow is still called by some ....oh that's Galicja.
19:00 - You have to try these! It is some kind of ukrainian "franchise" in which You can drink a delicious cherry vodka. You can find those locals in some main cities in Poland (and Ukraine ofc)
A lot of Italians in poland, especially Lodz, working in office spaces, customer support, the jobs that need italian language. Next to Ukrainians, Slovakians (neighbours), Hungarians, Romanians and even Brasilians they are pretty much one of the biggest minorities here.
nah, I have lived in the UK for over 8 years. You can compare how Lódz is perceived in Poland to how Luton or Brighton is. THese were drab to me while I was visiting them. Still - love both countries. Not so cheerful like Italy or Spain, but for sure both better for professional life and work culture.
@@HCforLife1 Appreciate you weighing in on the subject. I guess it's not as pretty as cities like Krakow or Wroclaw. But I found the people to be quite warm and friendly.
@@HCforLife1 there 10x worse places in England than Luton and Brighton and 100x better places.. Gleadless in Sheffield and bootle in Liverpool.. And better places like york and Chester
'fart' means luck... u can call it slang. and it was used close shop. again łódz is old industrial city. was like 60% of Jews. after war ... well ... moust of the city was dead. repopulated of well not very educated folk. manufakora means workshop... or industial aeria. galicja is part of poland region.

I enjoyed visiting Łódź. From what you shared, it seems as though this city was the heart of the manufacturing revolution in Poland. Dziekuje Dawid.
You need to visit Lublin after Warsaw, it's a beautiful city with very friendly people.
Good to know.
I really liked Lodz, it does have some grim areas though, I walked from Kaliska train station to the main street in Lodz and that area is a bit run down.
Yea, some parts don't look too good.
Great videos. You seem to be stuck in Lodz :) greetings from Krakow. Come here :)
Thanks for the invite. I'll make it there one of these days. Cheers.
Manufaktura is a cool shopping mall.
That place is cool, I thought it was a train station at first.
Some very neglected parts of town, but i hope they will be also renovated soon 😢
I would love to come back and see it when it's finished.
5:00 have been walking there countless times, and was laughing about some american or englishman reading it, and here you are 😂
Hahaha, you were right about that. 💨😄
Been to Poznan 3 times as well, even more construction going on there than Lodz but it's a very underated city and certainly worth a visit.
I was there over 4 years ago. My first time in Poland. It's a nice city.
Poland at the moment is the biggest construction site in whole Europe (that is fact not opinion) and you can see it in Travel Addict Guy videos 😉
Great video Kerry and I wish you the best of “fart”, safe travels my friend
it is funny on so many levels.... i mean im polish and iam lugin' my ass off.
try to say szczeście... with means luck.. we r makin easy 4 u guyz.
You used the word correctly. Good "fart" to you my friend. 😂🫘🐂💨
Actually, fart is much easier.
Yeah the worst thing is not getting a good nights sleep in a hostel if somebody is making lots of noise. I had a bad experience in Katowice with a guy from Ukraine putting the light on throughout the night, playing his mobile loud and drinking cans of beer in the room.

Drinking beer in the room and playing his mobile loud. Total lack of respect. 😮

Yeah my hostel in Warsaw was also basically run by Ukrainians too, can't remember if I told you that in Bratislava. Hope you're doing good man!
I'm doing good. Nice to hear from you. Happy travels!
'FART' = luck, not to be confused with other meanings. The shop owner wanted to be clever. :)
It's funny to someone who doesn't know what it means. 💨😄
Pijana Wiśnia means "drunk cherry" and it's a chain of Ukrainian bars serving cherry liquer.
and then again cherrys and melons... r kinda visualy.... nice.
Nice, I liked their advertisement.
Galicia is a region in Poland and Ukraine, not Spanish Galicia.
I didn't know there was another Galicia. Nice to learn something new. 👍🇵🇱
Fart in Polish means , Lucky, i believe ....an old Polish girlfriend used to call me ,Lucky, i`m starting to wonder if she mean`t something else ? lol
