I'm watching from the vicinity of Zakopane, from a small village (4,500 inhabitants) . If you want to see an "Italian" Renaissance town, I suggest visiting Zamość. The entire urban layout, which is a practical implementation of the Renaissance concept of an ideal city-fortress (citta ideale), was designed by the Italian architect Bernard Morando . For me, the most beautiful railway route in Poland is the one from Krakow to the spa town called Krynica Zdrój . If someone wants to visit the wildest areas of Poland where bears live, they go to the Bieszczady Mountains which are on the Poland-Ukraine border. There is also a very nice town of artists called Kazimierz Dolny
In Poland we have a proverbial saying: don't laugh like an idiot into the cheese which means you laugh without a reason. We laugh when we have a reason. And while walking down the street, rushing to work. Pick up your child from school, we are primarily focused on the goal not a smile without reson 😂
18:40 this is a regional cheese originating from the Tatra Mountains. You can buy it practically all over the country, but it is identified with the Tatra Mountains and Lesser Poland, sometimes with other mountain regions. Personally, I recommend it with the addition of cranberries, because the cheese itself is salty and smoky. We call it oscypki (plural)
Yes, it is cheap, but for a foreigner. Prices in Poland are adjusted to the earnings of Poles. You divide Polish prices by 4.5 and you get the price in dollars or euros. And this grilled bread, which you thought was too small, is called Oscypek. This is smoked highlander cheese and grilled. It is smoky and salty and is eaten mainly with cranberries which balances the saltiness. Foreigners like it because they don't know how it tastes. The best time to visit Poland is May because it is already green and not as hot as in summer (30 C) and early autumn - it is still warm and the trees take on various shades of yellow, called the Polish golden autumn.
about the face expression .... we r not Fake Americans with the smile all the time... we just dont care if u r stranger to US.... we r just neutral in buses, crowds etc
Polak jeśli się śmieje szczerze i bez potrzeby nie suszy zębów. Nie zakładają fałszywej z reguły maski wiecznie uśmiechniętego. Polacy nie przepadają za fikcją i obłudą.
Hey man! Service in Poland 🇵🇱 is much better than in many places in the 🇺🇸 USA. At least majority of Polish servers smile naturally. They don't wear a " Hollywood style" artificial smile. That's for sure!
When it comes to traveling by train, I personally love and recommend the Olsztyn - Suwałki route. "Land of a Thousand Lakes" (kraina tysiąca jezior)you can get off in Ełk and from there go to the "Biebrza National Park", in my opinion the most beautiful place in the spring season
this video from Wolter (great guy btw) is already 6 years old which is - nowadays - already quite some time gone = some noticeable changes (prices, tourist numbers, more cashless card options, more progressed economics, structures etc.) ...
When man in video talks about the difficult Polish language, he gives as an example the word "prosim", which according to him means "please" in polish and that Poles are happy when they hear it. Maybe they are happy, but "prosim" means please, but in czech launguage - Poles understand this word. In Polish "proszę" (pronounced 'prosha') means "please".
To be honest i 've got very similar looking female friend Julia, i mean very very similar :) she's polish as i am. Thanks for learning about Poland by the way!👌
Go from gdansk - malbork (a castle) - torun (a preserved medieval city of copernicus and gingerbread) - warsaw - czestichowa (pilgrimage) - katowice - krakow - zakopane (tatry)
I recommend you guys train from krakow to warsaw it's just 2h drive and it is the fastest train in poland (pendolino) you can also watch the whole thing I mean polish nature and the views:) maybe this is not the cheapest option because the ticket costs ~$42 for one person but you can go in the middle of the week like tuesday - thursday because "intercity" trains have a 3-day ticket which means you can go anywhere in poland for $50 (one person ofc)
W Polsce jest dużo różnych atrakcji .To zależy czego szukacie .Jeśli lubicie w szybkim tempie dużo zwiedzić to polecam wielkie miasta .A jeśli chcecie wypocząć to raczej polecam mniejsze miasteczka z okolicznymi atrakcjami.Przykładem może być Krosno i okoliczny zamek oraz Prządki [potężne skały narzutowe}W takich miejscach często działa lokalna Agroturystyka czyli domy gdzie wynajmuje się pokoje z pożywieniem lub nie.Takich miejsc jest bardzo dużo.w całej Polsce;nad jeziorami,blisko lasów ,a także niedaleko stoków narciarskich.
I don't know if she has Polish ancestors, but i'm sure she's Slavic. Absolutely! And she is so much beautiful! 😊 18:40 This is a sheep cheese, called "oscypek", originaly comes from Tatra Mountain.
Polish jokes are popular in USA. In XIX c. Imigrants from Germany came to USA with their stereotypes - that's where it came from. English and German languages are in the same group. Polish is in Slavic group. Even Iranian language is closer to Polish (and other slavic languages) than English. But we have lot of words from other eupean languages: Latin, German, French and English (espacialy in new technologies). In Polish there lots of sounds, that aren't in western languages. And our grammar - it's very sophisticated. "Prosim" is in Check but we understand that. In Polish Please is "Proszę" [say as: proshe]. Probably it wasn't fermented fish, it was just fish (herring) in vinegar. Pierogi - fried, but not at deep fry. Lot of people are visiting Poland, but most of them are just at 10 always the same places and no where else. Check some smaller and less famous towns. For us it isn't so cheap here. You said that food was at half of German price. Yes, but we earn 1/3 of German payment (and that is progress, 15 years ago it was 1/5). Tatra mountains are our only really high mountains, but there are o lot of tourists. After you go there, You can try another mountains: Beskidy (Krynica, Żywiec), Bieszczady (Solina, Wetlina), Sudety (Karpacz, Kudowa) or even Góry Świętokrzyskie (Kielce, Nowa Słupia) - they are smal, but still mountains. In northern Poland there are a few lake districts. Town squares in medieval towns were their hearts and advertisements. So if already were at big cities, go to smaller towns - there's always something more. At ending on grill, there was a cheese "oscypek" (traditional kind from Tatra mountains region). In Cracow is The Biggest Medieval Town Square in Europe. But even in Poland there bigger, but not medieval.
ZAKOPANE means "Buried" and is not an ordinary City. According to some of the Oldest People living in the city (Górali), there is a Cave of Sleeping Knights who live in the Tatra Mountains, this is related to WAWEL CASTLE, according to them, The Mount "GIEWONT" looks like a "sleeping knight", something like the King of Poland Tomb of Władysław III Warneńczyk in Wawel (his body was never found ).There are legends about this. Our dear beloved John Paul II loved the Tatra Mountains, he loved to walk there and pray to God. According to the oldest people living in the city, there is also a secret of the wind which is called "Wiatr Halny", according to them, when it blows, some people behave "strangely indescribable", there are also legends about it. "City of Wizards". Wooden Cottages At The Foot Of Tatra Mountains by Sebastian Pitoń Before WW2, Warsaw was considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and was even called “Paris of the East" its architecture.
Hi. Most beautiful railways are in mountain regions in south. Visit Lower Silesia, this region has all you want and it's only 250km from Berlin. Cheers!
No scenic train routes to speak of really, the landscape is mostly the same throughout. You can have a great experience if you stick to the Pendolino trains tho :) Old towns are the best in the big cities, mountains are great for walks, seaside is great only in the hottest months of summer. If you manage to reach Dębki at the coastline in the north, you'll find one of the best hidden gem beaches there are. Have a good one :)

18:44 - This is oscypek cheese (sheep's milk cheese) - traditionally heated on an alder wood fire - delicious with cranberry jam my suggestion for the next time about Poland (put it in YT) : The Polish Language (Is this real?!) PS. small bonus: Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz (HD)
Guys, 1. The biggest old market square in Poland and Europe is not in Krakow but in Wroclaw. 2. Your type of beaty suggest that you can have Slavic roots. Maybe Polish, maybe Slovakian, Czech, Ukrainian, Lithuanian, Yugoslavian, Bulgarian or even Russian...😉 If this is true - be proud because Slavic girls are most beautiful girls in the World (believe me - this is not only my opinion...🙂). 3. Very good and interesting material... Take care Greetings from UK
as South Africans you have most likely a Dutch, German and/or British heritage (of course also other European influences (even American/Austrian/Canadian) are possible but as implied, they are less likely). Your and also your (grand-) parents names and/or talks with them should give some indicators (or they even still know that and can simply tell you about) ...
This information is from 2017, so it is a bit outdated, Poland has changed a bit since then. When it comes to customer service culture, there is nothing to discuss here, the gentleman from the clip is American, there is a completely different customer service culture focused on tipping, in Poland we have the so-called mirroring - like the customer, like the service. If you are not nice, if you are condescending, you will be treated the same way. Rolling out red carpets and getting up the a*s is reserved for very luxurious restaurants or shopping outlets, but even there you will be treated appropriately for your rude behavior, maybe in a more subtle way. And one important thing, do not mess with the kitchen or the restaurant staff, unless you want to have a "surprise" in the food.
Do you know what is a paradox in the context of fish? we have access to the Baltic Sea, and finding good fish to fry at a decent price is almost a miracle. Apart from herring and canned fish, I don't eat them because the fillets are so full of chemicals that they fall apart. disgusting .
I think James, that you have a more British background (& a little Dutch or else some other Germanic strain, possibly even German.) As to Sune, I think that your background contains Polish & German (& probably some Dutch & possibly other Germanic strains.) The 2 of you should try to do one of those DNA kits that will tell you your cultural background (& some can tell you a little about health precautions & give you a chance to find genetic relatives if you want to.) This is something that I have been thinking quite strongly of doing myself. There are companies such as 23andme, Ancestry DNA, My Heritage DNA etc. If you decide to do one, some will give you health info such as a weakness or family gene that leaves you susceptible to an illness. This scares some people. For me, this info means that I will try to be aware of that health issue & keep my ear out for any info on it & be careful of certain things that may be an issue or bring out the problem in me, so it doesn't scare me.
Hehe, you have blue eyes, so we come from one ancestor, we are 8 percent of the entire population on Earth. And this is the result of a mutation in one person. In fact, our eyes are not blue, and this visible effect is the result of light refraction.
The thing about this expressionless Polish face is that we are not Americans who smile at every opportunity. I think that our neutral facial expression also has a historical background when we were under partition, not to express our emotions officially because it could cause a lot of unpleasantness. That doesn't mean we don't laugh, but when there is an opportunity to laugh. And besides, in Poland, if someone laughs at anything, they are considered an idiot. On the street we have a neutral facial expression because why should we smile? And in a restaurant, a waiter works, takes orders and fulfills them, and that's it.
I understand that an American may be shocked by the lack of artificial expression in facial expressions. We don't like fake smiles and exaggerated optimism. If a smile is to appear, it must be sincere. And we like to complain ;)
Its a problem with reacting for reacting... This guy made it so many year ago (Iwould said ten or 15) - its a big difference for receiving Poland as tourists or future citizens Its to much things(not ten but like 40 to agree or dis it) few things are instant, few depends on peaple you met and few are rubbish in 2024 - just check it, probably will be best time in Your live (if You don't need so much sun as at Hawaii(as example) or as our RUclips hosts from South Africa;)) Kind regards
this Englishman or American has no idea what he is talking about, he has no idea what Poles are like, and based on one day in Poland, he determines what nationality a Pole is? funny 🙃 this guy😂
if you have an English background (especially if additionally Afrikaans which is basically a Dutch dialect) then German is (both are West Germanic languages with some Latin/Greek influences) less difficult, because you can already without any translation recognizes MASSES of words and sentences.

the point here is that many people (in this case English speakers) who are not aware about languages, languages families, similarities etc. start already with a wrong perspective on languages. people who are aware about that and know for instance a bit more about the common older roots of English, German and Dutch, look different on such languages and if they get a bit of a feeling how the once very same or at least similar Germanic dialects changed over time like Brother (English), Bruder (German) and Broer (Dutch) ... or Haus (German), House (English), Huis (Dutch) or Vater (German), Father (English) and Vader (Dutch) then one has the chance with a bit of pattern matching to reconstruct a lot of context. This usually does not work if one just expects 'totally different' words and language, just because everything seems foreign on the first superficial glance... finding the right perspective is the key here .... btw., the variations of the same/similar words are also not that much different within the same languages if one looks at the different dialects...
I would say that religion has nothing to do with morals. Its not like every immoral man is an atheist. Its oposite. Most vicious people in human history were devoted to god. About religion in poland. Most people are baptised but this dont mean that they are religious. Most poles are non-practicing believers. So there is a Bible at home, but I receive the priest after Christmas carols only because it is tradition.
Those religious Poles in many (too many cases) are also intolerant. So I don't think it is a virtue in a modern world. I am from a Slavic background and I don't think German is so difficult. There are many types of "pierogi". My children love those ones with fruits (strawberries, or blueberries, and so on) with yogurt. They are available in the UK, however in Polish shops only. You can get those ones with meet, or those with potato and cottage mixed together, in Tesco. Don't go to Zakopane! There are too many tourists! It is like in Tokyo even on summits crowds of ppl. Those locals are very conservative and greed. I've never been there and I don't want. I couldn't see that very well, however it is difficult for me to imagine pierogi being grilled unlike bread, so I think it was bread.
If you smile i Poland, you might be judged as crazy or get punched in the face because some people may think you're laughing at them or are simply envious. Additionally, we are financially struggling; everything is expensive, and we don't have enough money for travel, housing, etc. Moreover, the weather is mostly dull.

To those complaining about the "Polish face":
When a Pole smiles, it is a sincere expression of affection and not just a conventional lip-gesture.
You do really have typical Polish features. Of course you might be from other Slavic country, but Poland is very likely.
I think there is a good chance that your lady is of Slavic origin 😉

That thing on the rack over the coals was Oscypki - its smoked goat cheese (quite salty) served hot.
We’ve seen through previous comments that it looks like a polish delicacy
Yes buddy, your "beautiful better half" has central/eastern european look. It is possible that she's roots are from Europe. Take care of her :)

Lot of people are visiting Poland, but most of them are just at 10 always the same places and no where else. Check some smaller and less famous towns.
For us it isn't so cheap here. You said that food was at half of German price. Yes, but we earn 1/3 of German payment (and that is progress, 15 years ago it was 1/5).
Tatra mountains are our only really high mountains, but there are o lot of tourists. After you go there, You can try another mountains: Beskidy (Krynica, Żywiec), Bieszczady (Solina, Wetlina), Sudety (Karpacz, Kudowa) or even Góry Świętokrzyskie (Kielce, Nowa Słupia) - they are smal, but still mountains. In northern Poland there are a few lake districts.
Town squares in medieval towns were their hearts and advertisements. So if already were at big cities, go to smaller towns - there's always something more.
At ending on grill, there was a cheese "oscypek" (traditional kind from Tatra mountains region).
In Cracow is The Biggest Medieval Town Square in Europe. But even in Poland there bigger, but not medieval.
It is not that cracow wasnt destroyed in ww2, but in comparison to other cities, yes, it was lucky 😅
One of the lucky few!
That was a sheep milk cheese caled oscypek not bread ;)
from Krakow!
ZAKOPANE means "Buried" and is not an ordinary City. According to some of the Oldest People living in the city (Górali), there is a Cave of Sleeping Knights who live in the Tatra Mountains, this is related to WAWEL CASTLE, according to them, The Mount "GIEWONT" looks like a "sleeping knight", something like the King of Poland Tomb of Władysław III Warneńczyk in Wawel (his body was never found ).There are legends about this.
Our dear beloved John Paul II loved the Tatra Mountains, he loved to walk there and pray to God.
According to the oldest people living in the city, there is also a secret of the wind which is called "Wiatr Halny", according to them, when it blows, some people behave "strangely indescribable", there are also legends about it.

Before WW2, Warsaw was considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and was even called “Paris of the East" its architecture.
I like both of you. You seem to me very genuine and natural young South Africans......and your beautiful South African accent. I love it ❤.
18:40 is “oscypek” it’s sheep cheese
Hi. Most beautiful railways are in mountain regions in south. Visit Lower Silesia, this region has all you want and it's only 250km from Berlin. Cheers!
Around the corner 🤭😅
God ,Honor, Homeland
It if very possible you have polish ancestors. Many Poles emigrated to Africa during the many wars. Your polish pronunciation is very good.
Go visit STARY MŁYN in Toruń or Wrocław :) They have pierogi there from oven
Zapraszamy!!! 🤩
We will be there soon 😆❤️🤫
No scenic train routes to speak of really, the landscape is mostly the same throughout. You can have a great experience if you stick to the Pendolino trains tho :) Old towns are the best in the big cities, mountains are great for walks, seaside is great only in the hottest months of summer. If you manage to reach Dębki at the coastline in the north, you'll find one of the best hidden gem beaches there are. Have a good one :)
Thanks for the tips! We’ve heard the coastal routes and ones near zakopane are beautiful!!!

Thank you so much for this! Awesome 😋
turystów jest mniej ale zimą........kiedy jest cieplej więcej ludzi podróżuje, wtedy są też tłumy
Guys,
1. The biggest old market square in Poland and Europe is not in Krakow but in Wroclaw.
2. Your type of beaty suggest that you can have Slavic roots. Maybe Polish, maybe Slovakian, Czech, Ukrainian, Lithuanian, Yugoslavian, Bulgarian or even Russian...😉 If this is true - be proud because Slavic girls are most beautiful girls in the World (believe me - this is not only my opinion...🙂).
3. Very good and interesting material...
Take care
Greetings from UK
as South Africans you have most likely a Dutch, German and/or British heritage (of course also other European influences (even American/Austrian/Canadian) are possible but as implied, they are less likely). Your and also your (grand-) parents names and/or talks with them should give some indicators (or they even still know that and can simply tell you about) ...
This information is from 2017, so it is a bit outdated, Poland has changed a bit since then. When it comes to customer service culture, there is nothing to discuss here, the gentleman from the clip is American, there is a completely different customer service culture focused on tipping, in Poland we have the so-called mirroring - like the customer, like the service. If you are not nice, if you are condescending, you will be treated the same way. Rolling out red carpets and getting up the a*s is reserved for very luxurious restaurants or shopping outlets, but even there you will be treated appropriately for your rude behavior, maybe in a more subtle way. And one important thing, do not mess with the kitchen or the restaurant staff, unless you want to have a "surprise" in the food.
Maybe we should make a new one when we visit. “Poland in 2024”
Yup, initially I though she is Polish.
I'm shocked by how you placed the TV
Versatility💁🏻♀️ it was cold in the room 😉🤫
Slavic gens - you must check that
18,40s wędzi się Oscypek ,ser oryginalnie tylko Kozi a nie Krowi
And I always thought it was sheep's?
Do you know what is a paradox in the context of fish? we have access to the Baltic Sea, and finding good fish to fry at a decent price is almost a miracle. Apart from herring and canned fish, I don't eat them because the fillets are so full of chemicals that they fall apart. disgusting .
I think James, that you have a more British background (& a little Dutch or else some other Germanic strain, possibly even German.)
As to Sune, I think that your background contains Polish & German (& probably some Dutch & possibly other Germanic strains.)
The 2 of you should try to do one of those DNA kits that will tell you your cultural background (& some can tell you a little about health precautions & give you a chance to find genetic relatives if you want to.)
This is something that I have been thinking quite strongly of doing myself. There are companies such as 23andme, Ancestry DNA, My Heritage DNA etc. If you decide to do one, some will give you health info such as a weakness or family gene that leaves you susceptible to an illness. This scares some people. For me, this info means that I will try to be aware of that health issue & keep my ear out for any info on it & be careful of certain things that may be an issue or bring out the problem in me, so it doesn't scare me.
Hehe, you have blue eyes, so we come from one ancestor, we are 8 percent of the entire population on Earth. And this is the result of a mutation in one person. In fact, our eyes are not blue, and this visible effect is the result of light refraction.
She looks Slavic
This thing which looks like pierogi is oscypek, its salt cheese made from sheep's milk.
The thing about this expressionless Polish face is that we are not Americans who smile at every opportunity. I think that our neutral facial expression also has a historical background when we were under partition, not to express our emotions officially because it could cause a lot of unpleasantness. That doesn't mean we don't laugh, but when there is an opportunity to laugh. And besides, in Poland, if someone laughs at anything, they are considered an idiot. On the street we have a neutral facial expression because why should we smile? And in a restaurant, a waiter works, takes orders and fulfills them, and that's it.
Go to Lublin. Before the II WW it was a very multicultural city. 🙂
Prosim is Czech :P Also PL is a coconut society not avocado.
zapraszamy gości :)
NO worries. the fried pierogi are NOT deep fried. Its crunchy and great. And not soaking in fat.
I can bet You've Polish roots. 100%
Prosim is czech, actually 😅 in polish it is prosze :)
Okay thanks for clarifying 😅
yes she's polish
👀
Poles don't like to pretend and they don't have artificial smiles, they try to have sincere emotions!
I'd say German is rather easy for native English speakers as it comes from the same, Germanic, family. It's not even hard for native Polish speakers.
I understand that an American may be shocked by the lack of artificial expression in facial expressions. We don't like fake smiles and exaggerated optimism. If a smile is to appear, it must be sincere. And we like to complain ;)
About being religious, it's depends, older generation, yes, but younger people, not so much
Older generations are just different. I don’t know if we fans of the newer generation coming through 🙊
She may be polish, she is cute.
About the face is even more popular in other post soviet countries
Crazy
If you South Africans than Poland will sue you .We have the same lvl of madness .The same wild inner energy etc
Go with deep-fried pierogi 😅
Sounds absolutely delicious! Google ‘samoosa’ it’s the South African alternative
Its a problem with reacting for reacting...
This guy made it so many year ago (Iwould said ten or 15) - its a big difference for receiving Poland as tourists or future citizens
Its to much things(not ten but like 40 to agree or dis it)
few things are instant, few depends on peaple you met and few are rubbish in 2024 - just check it, probably will be best time in Your live (if You don't need so much sun as at Hawaii(as example) or as our RUclips hosts from South Africa;))
Kind regards
this Englishman or American has no idea what he is talking about, he has no idea what Poles are like, and based on one day in Poland, he determines what nationality a Pole is? funny 🙃 this guy😂
if you have an English background (especially if additionally Afrikaans which is basically a Dutch dialect) then German is (both are West Germanic languages with some Latin/Greek influences) less difficult, because you can already without any translation recognizes MASSES of words and sentences.

the point here is that many people (in this case English speakers) who are not aware about languages, languages families, similarities etc. start already with a wrong perspective on languages. people who are aware about that and know for instance a bit more about the common older roots of English, German and Dutch, look different on such languages and if they get a bit of a feeling how the once very same or at least similar Germanic dialects changed over time like Brother (English), Bruder (German) and Broer (Dutch) ... or Haus (German), House (English), Huis (Dutch) or Vater (German), Father (English) and Vader (Dutch) then one has the chance with a bit of pattern matching to reconstruct a lot of context. This usually does not work if one just expects 'totally different' words and language, just because everything seems foreign on the first superficial glance... finding the right perspective is the key here .... btw., the variations of the same/similar words are also not that much different within the same languages if one looks at the different dialects...
If you don't like fish in brine try tuna in sunflower oil. I hate fish but this shi slaps.
IT was sheep chees wery teasty
Don't believe in everything. I go for skiing to France. Not that I love France but there is much cheaper there.
she looks more Irish
Why would you smile without the reason? It would be weird
Go to South Africa and watch everyone you look at smile at you when you walk past. It’s so warm and beautiful
You are right. Religious people are more humble, compassionate, and understanding.
Hi guys. Love Ur vids. Sorry but the guy doesnt know what hes talking about...Im polish, and to b honest, 90 precent of what he said is just wrong.
The guy mixed Poland 🇵🇱 with North Korea. Neutral face ????? He isn't an expert, anyways.
I would say that religion has nothing to do with morals. Its not like every immoral man is an atheist. Its oposite. Most vicious people in human history were devoted to god.
About religion in poland. Most people are baptised but this dont mean that they are religious. Most poles are non-practicing believers. So there is a Bible at home, but I receive the priest after Christmas carols only because it is tradition.
Those religious Poles in many (too many cases) are also intolerant. So I don't think it is a virtue in a modern world.
I am from a Slavic background and I don't think German is so difficult.
There are many types of "pierogi". My children love those ones with fruits (strawberries, or blueberries, and so on) with yogurt. They are available in the UK, however in Polish shops only. You can get those ones with meet, or those with potato and cottage mixed together, in Tesco.
Don't go to Zakopane! There are too many tourists! It is like in Tokyo even on summits crowds of ppl. Those locals are very conservative and greed. I've never been there and I don't want.
I couldn't see that very well, however it is difficult for me to imagine pierogi being grilled unlike bread, so I think it was bread.
rather German and some Ukrainian than Polish roots...
If you smile i Poland, you might be judged as crazy or get punched in the face because some people may think you're laughing at them or are simply envious. Additionally, we are financially struggling; everything is expensive, and we don't have enough money for travel, housing, etc. Moreover, the weather is mostly dull.
Szok . Durne są te filmiki o reakcji ..
btw....Polska dla Polaków nie jest tania
Young generation has nothing to do with church
Not all* young people
