    And I am surprised that you are surprised m8. First time I went to England was in1994 where I have stayed with host family. Boy, that was a jolly time. They were asking me question like "do we have electricity", "do we have running water" and more of such silly questions. It's 2024, 30 years later yet still a bloke from that very same country seems surprised that 80 years after the war there is not much rubble and ghettos in Warsaw. N'joy your travel m8.

      When I was in NYC 20 years ago one girl asked me: Is Poland different than the US? I answered: Yes, it is. She wanted to find out more and asked: Do you have streets and buildings? I looked at her thinking she is joking but no, she was dead serious.

    Going to Poland just to see the Polin Jewish Museum is like going to Great Britain just to see a camel in the zoo.

      ​@@leno_o17 it's an acurate comparision. Even in Warsaw there are at least 3 more impresive museums. He could have seen world's biggest castle, highest building in EU, biggest barracks ever constructed, we even have christmass all year long in Bielany. He choose this 😕

    If you mark the exact center point of Europe, it's in the middle of Poland, near by Warszawa. And it's been 35 years that Poland is not a part of political "eastern block". So. Educate yourself, cause you offended a lot of poles with the title of your video.

      Guess you're only joking there? If not, fact check: Finland was never part of the Soviet Union or eastern block. It's a nordic country. I'm Finnish so I should know. Finland is a pretty low profile country, so there is a lot of ignorance about it, and also intentional disinformation, even on some RUclips channels. But the truth is out there for those few who may be interested. Just saying...

    Tu jest Europa Centralna. Szukasz Wschodniej Europy, to jedź do Moskwy, Kazania, Samary, Ufa, Perm. Ze stolicy Polski do wymienionych miast leci się samolotem od 2 do 5 godzin. No i wymienione miasta naptawdę są w, Europie, a nie Azji.

      What does classification and origin have to do with it ? 😄 Eastern Europe is a geographical direction not an origin , only most idiots from the west think that eastern europe is some mythical land inhabited by mythical and dangerous beasts 😂 But this is what happens when you read nonsense on the internet and listen to some stupid hate propaganda 🤦‍♂

    Poland is in Central Europe, not Eastern Europe: geographically and mentally.
    The Iron Curtain fell more than 30 years ago, and it really is high time to understand that that division of Europe no longer exists. The geographical Centre of Europe is in Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine or in the east of Poland (depending on what method of measuring is used). East Europe means Russia.
    If you say that Poland is an Eastern European country then you are insulting Poles with this statement. East is Russia and other countries to the east. And we certainly do not want to be associated in any way with this barbaric country.
