Thank you, will be traveling so to Germany this year before end of 2024 & close countries to blog... WARSAW is interesting
I mean I know your a full blooded Americana Polish woman and I think its wonderful to speak different languages its very cool that your religion is catholic, Love Life To The Fullest Please. Thank you as long as you speak English I can understand better, Polish language I get really lost for good so it will take a lot of PRACTICE to learn Polish language it will be a challenge learning it daily.
somebody should definitely highlight the fact that no other City in Europe has changed as much as Warsaw during the last 3 decades. An incredible energy, a constantly changing City, in a very high tempo. I rembember Warsaw in the last 80's...another City, another world. Just a fascinating City, not comparable to any other one -also due to its tragical History what can be seen in its mix of architecture today. Unic City Varso viiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie !
Thank you for your comment! It’s indeed incredible to see how much Warsaw has changed over the last few decades. The city’s transformation has been nothing short of amazing. That mix of old and new, with its deep history, really makes Warsaw one-of-a-kind. We're glad you feel the same way. Varso viiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie! 🧡
@@explorewithkojo indeed it became my really favourite city in Europe. Currently by the way all the center (since 2 years) in complete transformation. Absolutely fascinating city ! are you polish ?
@@vodkila194 We’re so glad to hear that Warsaw has become your favorite city in Europe-it’s such an incredible place. Just to let you know, we're actually a team of travel vloggers and bloggers, not just one person. And yes, the presenter in this video is partly Polish, which makes exploring Warsaw even more special for us. We’re excited to share more of this amazing city with you!
@@explorewithkojo so that...how are you organized, means how do you choose your destinations, in how many places have you settled, and how many time do you seat in one capital ?
Are you actually an American?!? - when you speak polish it is exceptionally good, that makes me think you are rather a polish girl, who speaks very good english.
I have to see Warsaw😮
You really should. It is a very beautiful city.
You're wrong about the quality of Vistula river's water (its colour is determined by natural sediments). It has improved greatly in recent years, and now does not render swimming dangerous in this regard anymore. So why (most) people don't swim in it in the city area? Because it's officially forbidden - the city authorities quote whirlpools and strong currents as the reason. But the truth is, they are just unwilling to invest in floating pools (like those in Helsinki, Oslo or Copenhagen, etc.). This has been discussed for years without conclusion. Perhaps the climate warming may eventually force officials to take action to let people swim in the river (as they did until the early 1970s). You have stated long gloomy winters and unstable summers as Warsaw's weather drawbacks, but increasingly frequent heatwaves should be added, as there's no escape from them in the city other than a/c malls and overcrowded outdoor swimming pools.
Hi Benwars9524, thanks for your enlightening contribution and correction! We appreciate the insight about the Vistula River's water quality and the real reasons why people don't swim in it. It's indeed frustrating that there's been so much talk but little action on creating better swimming options in the city. And you're spot on about the heatwaves-definitely something that should have been mentioned in the video. We'll definitely tackle that in a future video. Thanks once again for sharing this with us; it really adds to the conversation!
hey i have a question,as someone who currently live in london does it feel cheep for me?
Hi Gerald, thanks for your comments. However, can you please rephrase your question as we are finding it quite challenging understanding it? Thanks.
Yes, Warsaw would feel cheap for you if you compare prices to London.
Never ever eat in of those "pierogi" joints... Next time try on typical Polish "bar mleczny"
Hello, what do you use as camera and accessories ?
Hi there! Thanks for watching! I use an iPhone for most of my shoots. If you have any more questions or need recommendations, feel free to ask!
I think you should see some place conected with ww2 history, for example POLIN - museum of polish Jews history
Pierogi z jagodami jemy wyłącznie ze śmietaną z cukrem!
Tak samo jak pierogi z truskawkami czy z innymi owocami.
Absolutely! Pierogi with fruit just aren’t the same without that creamy, sweet topping. It’s the perfect combination! 😋
Można je jeść z podsmażanym boczkiem i cebulą.
@@konyadanmeryem7712 nie mozna. Tak mowi prawo
pierogies to dumplings xD
They are Poland's number 1 comfort food (:
Where’s the bbq?
Już tak nie chwal tej naszej Polski, bo się tu za dużo "turystów" najedzie i będziemy mieć to co w Anglii ☹️.
We totally get what you mean! It’s always a bit of a double-edged sword-on one hand, it’s great to see people appreciating how amazing Poland is, but on the other hand, we all want to keep that special charm intact. Let’s hope that any visitors who do come will respect and cherish this beautiful country as much as Poles do! 😊
are senior citizens free on trams, etc
Thanks for your question, POLMAZURKA. The answer to your question is "yes". If you are 70 years or older, you can enjoy public transportation in Warsaw and every other city in Poland for free. However, in order to enjoy this free service, you'd need to proof that you are actually up to 70 years old and you can show proof of this with an official ID or your passport. Apparently even foreigners 70 and above can also use Poland's public transportation for free.
Do they know what "hello" is in Warsaw? 😂😂😂
And in New York they know what it is " Siema ".😂
OMG you’re so beautiful
your eyes are loooking at someone else.... not to the camera
That's interesting to note. Thanks for your contribution.
racial replacement in poland 🤣
Thanks for watching this video and leaving your comment.
Polishpeople do not
Respekt each other!
Zuch dziewczyna :)
