      +DrinkoolaiDs Well, we thank you very much for such wonderful statement :) We have our moments like everyone else but you are right, we are usually hospitable and friendly but at the same time can fight for what is ours. Protect our nation and our borders that have been invaded for ages. Like in food, we are a mixture of sweet, bitter, sour and spicy :)

I would love to go back and see the rest of the country and meet more of it's interesting people. my visit to Auschwitz, Birkenau and Oskar Schindlers Factory museum left me with a sense of saddness I had never felt before.. I wll never forget either my visit or the havock caused to the Polish and others who suffered during WW2.

This was a tough one to watch, Rick, but I’m so glad I did. Human beings are flawed but fascinating creatures.

    I have never been to Poland or any other European country but I am so fond of Polish history and literature ( I adore Adam Mitzskevich, I know I spelled that wrong) good old times when you were sitting in Moscow in 17th century...Love from Azerbaijan!

    I have been to Poland, twice, both for the trainings of one of the Big 4 companies. Even if i don't have memories of kind and welcoming people there (maybe because like Hungary it's highly regarded as employment entry by so many immigrants) there is something that makes me come back to this country again. I had also been to the outskirts of Warsaw which was amazing. All in all, i feel some affinity which sounds strange to me as well.

    I wish Rick Steves would go back to Poland and do a second episode showing the changes as this episode is almost 20 years old. He also has not shown Gdansk, Poznań, Łódź, Zakopane, Turoń or the Malbork Castle.

    I visited Krakow and Warsaw last month. What a beautiful country and wonderful people! Krakow is such a charming city, though there were quite a lot of tourists, it seemed unspoilt, peaceful, welcoming, and relaxed. The people are so nice, many speak excellent English. Warsaw is also an amazing city, love those Chopin music benches along the street. Apart from Auschwitz and the magnificent Salt Mine we also paid a visit to Chopin's birthplace Zelazowa Wola, which give us an opportunity to see the lovely countryside. Will go again. :)

      I forgot to mention the food, the Polish food are tasty and rich, good for their cold winter days I guess. Pierogi and beet soup are common and yummy. Two restaurants we liked the most are Kamahda Lwowska in Warsaw (lovely Polish - Ukrainian traditional food and atmosphere, we went there twice in 3 days) and Pod Nosem in Krakow (fine traditional Polish cuisine), both food and service are superb, good value especially the former. We wouldn't have found them if not for Rick Steves' guide book 'Kraków, Warsaw & Gdansk'. It is very informative and user-friendly. In the book there is a description about Polish people, that they have a 'quiet elegance', which is so true! There are something about the Poles that make them stand out, make them proud. A lot to do with their history and culture I think.

I am impressed by this country, known for its unique and vibrant culture.

    I visited Krakow in March 20017 I absolutely loved the polish people we visited The Salt Mines and Schindler's Factory but I found Auschwiz very harrowing and we should never forget what happened but it took me a few days to feel normal I just couldn't comprehend what Auschwiz held and what happened there if like me you think too much and are an empath don't visit Auschwiz it's so very very sad

      Karen - yes, you express it well. It's the grimmest place on earth and has a profound effect on the visitor. I went to Aushwitz 3 times but avoided Birkenau until the 4th time, and I would never go there again. Like you, it took me days to recover from the full horror of the reality of the greatest crime in history, and even now, the memory haunts me and makes me shiver when I think of it. RIP so many.
