Thanks for the informative video! Last year (2023), I volunteered for a temporary assignment with the US Army Reserve and was stationed in Poznan, Poland. Very good overview of Europe and Asian culture.
Love the content. I went to Poland 2 months ago. I live in Medellin. Most of what you have said about Medellin is correct. Went to Poland for 2 weeks. I love everything there minus the winter!
In Poland when someone doesn't understand what we are talking about or we can't understand what is spoken to us, then we say: "We don't talk in Chinese " or "don't talk in Chinese to me", because Chinese is considered as a very difficult and completely incomprehensible language 😊
But this is a carbon-copy of english "it is all Greek to me" / "it's all Chinese to me", Chinese is realitively not so hard to proponounce and even learn for Slavic people, as we share a lot of similar phonetics (dż, dź, zi, szy, si, etc).
Take care man, hope you will find your future in Poland. It's a real pleasure watching your videos, I like the way you compare and speak about Poland, it's something new and refreshing to listen such point of view. And I also envy you a little, but just a little, of flexibility of your life. Cheers mate!
If you get your Spanish citizenship, you will have to give up your USA citizenship. Spain only allows dual citizenship with a handful of countries (previous territories)
Or even UK citizen which is a shame cos Uk is also part of EU and part of reason why brits go to Spain often but don’t get involved with the Treaty compatible. So that’s one thing to find out about it.
Timely. I have the same vision and done my research about the 2yrs thing. Dilemma is present considering different factors: culture, food, job opp, col , etc.. Have to be wise and future/long term centric. Thanks for the honesty
你好！你的普通话不错！I was just living in Fuzhou, pretty cool your family is from Fujian, love Fujian. A good friend of mine is from Manila and his ancestors came from there also, I think like late 1800's, I learned a lot from him about the Chinese in Manila, very interesting history. Glad you are enjoying Poland. Peace from Krakow.
Thanks again Wes for sharing your thoughts! Answered a lot of questions I wondered too! Keep on the good work and hopefully you find a compatible Polish girl, indeed the culture is definitely as close as with us Chinese/Asian compared to other Western girls
East Europe countries is definitely super beautiful, vibrant with rich culture and has many ancient histories. The people are tall and striking beautiful looking with nice body shape.
Enjoy your videos Wes. You seem to be a very honest and open person. You’re intelligent and charismatic which will presumably lead to success in RUclips and any other pursuits you undertake. Keep up the good work Amigo, all the best 🤘🙏
I once spent a few weeks travelling and spending a lot of time with a Vietnamese-Australian girl (she went to Australia as a 2-year old). Her family was extremely strict ("Asian strict") while her environment was super-liberal, and Kim was kind of somewhere in between, switching from one to the other... and she felt more Polish to me then any other person I met. And that's kind of why we got along so well. :)
Do you have a Philippines passport already? Interesting about the 2 years thing in Spain, I did not realize that, opens A LOT of doors. Of course you can also own land in the Philippines, which is awesome. Peace from Krakow.
Come to Ireland, 5 years working here and you can apply for Irish citizenship then you can move to any other EU country or UK as UKhave free movement agreement with Ireland.
I totally agree with you and I'm from Spain... I lived abroad for 3 years in Germany , Netherlands and Lithuania and I ended up coming back to Spain this year because of a good job opportunity. In my experience, Amsterdam and Barcelona, where I'm currently living, are very bad places to live at, considering the cost of living/salaries, the ideology in these places, the insanely high taxes and the general feeling of unsafeness. I would definitely not raise my children in any of these places. I spent three weeks in Warsaw on holidays 1 year ago and I'm still in love with the place, the prices are still reasonable compared to the salaries and it's completely safe and with good family values.In fact, my intention would be to move there or to Luxembourg as soon as I can request to be relocated... Therefore, if I were you, I would think twice before you move here, specially if you have Barcelona in mind...
Hi, nice channel ! But I think you should learn the language. Don't get me wrong, I know it's difficult and I understand you are busy with other business and maybe you will move to Spain or whatever. But if you are here now, it's a kind of disrespectful to a country you live in to not learn the language because "you can survive without it". Being a good immigrant starts with learning the host's language. I know many people use the excuse of not needing it but I personnaly don't understand
Considering how you presented yourself and your views, and how many times you mentioned Polish girls, this video could be a profile on a dating site. XD
I find it funny how you are kinda conservative and un-enthusiastic about the LGBT movement but so pro weed and trying all those drugs 😂 Sounds so California to me 😂 Universal healthcare and smaller wealth gap is pretty cool, but I prefer your weather and roads... Or at least I did until draughts and fires became a common feature instead of a random emergency 👀
I'm glad you enjoy living in my country and I feel humbled to hear so many nice words about Poland in general and Kraków in particular, the city I live in and love :D The trick to surviving winters in Poland is having the right gear, like warm shoes with good traction and Gore-Tex membrane, breathable thermal underwear, good jacket, buff-like neck warmer and good gloves etc ;) I also highly recommend trying skiing - for me, it’s something that virtually saves the winter because it’s an amazing outdoor sport and something to look forward to. And I’m certainly not the only one, as I know plenty of Poles who feel that way, especially those from Kraków and its vicinity ;) If you’ve never had the chance to ski or snowboard, a gloomy Polish winter might be the best opportunity to do so. Since Kraków is relatively close to the mountains, I recommend checking out Białka Tatrzańska - probably the best place to take your first steps on the slopes :)
As a fellow Chinese-Filipino, I'm getting more and more tempted to travel in Eastern Europe... I've also never heard anyone else say our culture was similar to theirs.
As a Polish woman, I will say this: I understand why abortion on demand is needed in countries like Colombia (where you said in your previous episode that cheating is normal there). However, despite modern times, Poland still consists of a majority of people who want to create serious relationships and not just one-night stands. Maybe this is also due to our history; if we want Poland to exist, we have to be serious about it and create a family to prolong the existence of our genes. So abortion on demand is simply not needed. Are there people in Poland who want it despite everything? Of course. We are seriously divided internally, just like America on the left and right. The left side wants everything we could see at the last Olympics in France, especially the way they presented themselves at the opening of that event. We aren`t a unanimous mass and because of many extreme views (from left to right) we can even argue with each other, especially in the family. For example, I don't talk to my mother about abortion because she is a total supporter of it and I think that it is good as it is - that abortion is only necessary when child threatens the mother's life, etc. We can't talk about abortion even though we are women... because we will start shouting at each other ;). There are taboo topics that are better not to discuss, especially at the dinner table when there are knives and forks at within your reach ;). You don't give the impression that you want to stay in Poland longer, but I'm glad that you decided to come to us and get to know our culture on your own. I think that's the best thing to do when you are curious about the world, still free, looking for a place to start a family and put down roots. You are acting very wisely, I hope you find a fertile land with the right partner
It's better if abortion can be done on demand than if it's completely forbidden. I started supporting it because of the women who died after PiS meddled with abortion rights. Before I was pretty much against it. We had the best compromise possible in the world and those bastards destroyed decades long compromise where no-one was fully satisfied but everyone was content enough. And I'm not leftist, so don't apply pro-abortion just to the left. Some people just believe in body autonomy and want doctors not to be afraid to perform abortion if a woman's life is endangered, unless she states otherwise.
You are wrong about the connection between abortion and Polish history. It used to be more accessible and more common than it is now. Even in villages there were women who involved in performing abortions (often they were the same ones who were involved in childbirth), for example, if a child was born without the parents being married or when a guy cheated on his wife.
@@MadMatTom7769 , no, it doesn't. If you cannot decide for yourself who's more important - you or the baby you carry, especially if you already have babies waiting for you at home, then it means you don't have the body autonomy. Since the introduction of the new law, we had women who died together with babies because doctors were afraid to intervene and didn't talk to those women and their partners about what is going on and what are the real options. The doctors decided for those families and failed. Also, because they removed one of the exceptions, you can no longer decide if you want to remove the baby which is fatally ill until your life is in danger, which effectively means that if the baby is meant to die in the 8th month of pregnancy, you're forced to still carry it and push it outside of your body. Again, you have no body autonomy.
Not sure if you're mostly hanging out in Warsaw (or Krakow, Wroclaw, the 3-City area-basically the big five), but you might want to check out some of the cozier, safer, more traditional mid-sized cities for that classic Polish vibe. Places like Szczecin, which is super close to Berlin for a quick day trip, or Katowice, Olsztyn, Lublin, Bydgoszcz... In these smaller cities, you'll probably be the only Asian person around in most places like streets, libraries, restaurants, pubs, etc. Honestly, I wouldn't bother learning Polish - English or Spanish is enough to get by and make some connections. And definitely don't waste your time with ruZZian lang... people pretty much hate them everywhere, not just in Poland, but across the civilized world. I doubt you'd ever want to live there - it's the polar opposite of Poland, combining the worst parts of Asia with the worst parts of the West. From what I've seen in your videos, their so-called 'culture' (yeah, those quotes are on purpose) isn't even close to what you're into.
Wiele rzeczy mnie zaskoczyło w Twoich wypowiedziach - zresztą nie po raz pierwszy. 😳😄 Chociażby jak imponująco wiele krajów widziałeś. 🤩👍 Dotychczas wydawało mi się, że Twoim przyszłym kierunkiem jest Azja (może nie najbliższym, ale ostatecznym docelowym i tym zasadniczym) - taki powrót do korzeni, rodziny i świata, w którym jak zakładałam się łatwo odnajdziesz i zaklimatyzujesz bez przeszkód (nie sądziłam, że jednak są jakieś bariery). Do tego Hiszpania wydaje się być wspaniałym miejscem pod wieloma względami w zestawieniu z Polską (np. polską zimą 😁). Ciekawe przemyślenia na temat zjawiska rasizmu w Polsce i tutejszego podejścia do imigrantów. Nie wszyscy rozumieją polskie stanowisko i nasze obawy dotyczące napływowej ludności. My mamy trochę swoje 'odmiany rasizmu'. Trochę także taki rasizm z jednej strony ukryty-nie wprost. Albo jedynie powierzchowny, dla samego trzymania się takiego poglądu, że Polska tylko dla wybranych przyjezdnych. Jest chyba wiele wersji tych awersji do napływowej ludności - w zależności, o jakich imigrantach mówimy. Generalnie ładnie wypowiadasz się o Polsce, więc miło się tego słucha. 😃💪 🇵🇱🤍❤️ Interesujący filmik. 👍
Having husband that speaks Chinese and wife who speaks Polish would be something else lol (positively) (as having household with two of most difficult languages xD)
I've watched a couple of your videos and I would probably refrain from writing this if it was just one or two videos of yours that featured extensive comments on Polish culture and society, and especially the question of the LGBT. Being _not_ an LGBT person, but a Pole, and having now learned that your command of Polish is limited to an understanding of a couple of dozen most common words, I'd like to ask you what gives you the audacity to keep pushing your personal, uninformed opinions as information about a thing you apparently know hardly anything about? You claim that Polish society's attitude toward gay people is exemplary. No, it isn't. Actually, it's anything but. Not only does Poland not have same-sex marriage, but there's even not an option for gay people to have a civil union. There is a bill prepared for another attempt to legalize the partnership of gay people, but the chances of it being passed by the parliament -- a parliament which is currently of liberal-democratic majority -- are slim. One of the major points of dissent is the clause that would allow the gay partner of a parent to become a legal guardian (with parental rights) of that child/those children. How do you like them apples? Do you still think that Poland is so awesome and neutral when it comes to the treatment of LGBT people? BTW, did you know that in Poland in order to be legally allowed to undergo sex change, you have to enter a civil court case against your parents for "misjudgement of gender"? That's cool and very well organized, isn't it? Or have you simply had no idea about any of this? Well, to be honest, I'm a little surprised. I'd say that some of this stuff is interesting/shocking enough that it should easily have made top headlines in English-language media reporting about Poland. Do you actually read anything about Poland, or are all your "insights" about this country based on what you can gather from your personal experience (which is admittedly quite limited when you don't know the language)? And, I probably shouldn't say this, lest I come across as some kind of a hater, but it does strike me as quite surprising that after having lived here for a couple of years, and being so appreciative of the country and what you were able to perceive about its culture and customs, your knowledge of the language and willingness to acquire it are so exceptionally limited and that you talk about the learning process exclusively in terms of an effort. What is a country's culture to you, then? Food and architecture? Women?
@@rychugruby5603 Nie wiem, o co Ci chodzi. Każdy ma prawo do swojego zdania. Ja np. zrealizowałem to prawo pisząc to, co powyżej. Inną rzeczą jest natomiast to, iż powtarzane wygłaszanie fałszywej opinii, szczególnie gdy ma się świadomość swojej popularności i zasięgu, jest wyrazem albo nieodpowiedzialności, albo chęci celowej dezinformacji/manipulacji. A co najmniej zadufanej głupoty: "mam jakieś wydumane wyobrażenie o czymś i to się liczy, a nie jakaś tam prawda".
We welcome easily Asians, Turks (and some other Middle Eastern people) and Hindus (Indians?) but not certain immigrants (that's why they proclaim we are "racist"). It's only because they do live on work of natives in Western Europe. While Asians and Indians are well known for their hard work and like not being trouble makers (unlike immigrants that are pushing at our borders xD). Actually we appreciate such foreigners cause if you work, become part of our culture and are respectful, we are going to welcome you as one of our people. Just how people don't seem to have problem with sportman Wilfredo Leon (volleyball), even though he's black person (ok, technically latino) in non multicultural country. It's the only reason. Notice how Poles NEVER were against any Asians (even Muslims, like from Indonesia or Malasia), (especially) Indians and we are kind of fond of Turks. It's different with SOME other immigrants. I think we all know why :)
Great video. Regarding illegal immigration, it's important to mention that Poland was heavily involved in the wars that destabilized the countries that make up many of such immigrants. In 2001, Poland deployed thousands of troops to Afghanistan under direct US Command. Poland was also at the head of the forces invading Iraq in 2003 (top 4). When you go around the globe causing havoc, don't cry about the people running away from the countries you bombed showing up in your country. I find it funny they refer to illegal immigrants as "invaders" when it was countries like Poland that invaded them in the first place. Countries that destabilized other countries do not get my sympathy.
Ok so it is true the government made our army involved in Iraq but to call it heavy involved is BS. Not comparable to what countries such as France, UK, US did in Africa, Asia or elsewhere.
Past few months I could say You're one of my fav youtuber - check how many I subscribe and how old I have my account :) I really enjoy Your channel and it doesn't matter if it's about Poland or not. I love it. Best from Kraków

Another amazing video from Wes
appreciate it bro
Great topics and insights...I was especially interested in the part about living in Poland vs. Spain in the future.
Wow you did so many things in your live! So great to grow by such a experiances. Greetings from Tricity in Poland :-)
I’m hooked, love your content. I hope you never leave Poland my homeland welcomes you.
I'm glad! thank you for watching.
If you get your Spanish citizenship, you will have to give up your USA citizenship. Spain only allows dual citizenship with a handful of countries (previous territories)
There are ways around it
Wasn't California and large parts of US south part of Spanish Empire? Also Philippines were Spanish if I recall correctly.
Or even UK citizen which is a shame cos Uk is also part of EU and part of reason why brits go to Spain often but don’t get involved with the Treaty compatible. So that’s one thing to find out about it.

Jest chyba wiele wersji tych awersji do napływowej ludności - w zależności, o jakich imigrantach mówimy.
Generalnie ładnie wypowiadasz się o Polsce, więc miło się tego słucha. 😃💪 🇵🇱🤍❤️
Interesujący filmik. 👍
I see you didn't have a regular winter in Poland. Normally you should have seen snow, sunshine and frost. Polish winter can be very beautiful.
Those polish words that you have spelled were correct. You will have no problem with communications in polish
U are cool guy:), pity u are not gay😉. Come to Wrocław again for beer.
Having husband that speaks Chinese and wife who speaks Polish would be something else lol (positively)
(as having household with two of most difficult languages xD)
So you think Spain is woke, but you still want a Spanish passport? 😄
yup it's the easiest path to an EU passport for me.
I've watched a couple of your videos and I would probably refrain from writing this if it was just one or two videos of yours that featured extensive comments on Polish culture and society, and especially the question of the LGBT. Being _not_ an LGBT person, but a Pole, and having now learned that your command of Polish is limited to an understanding of a couple of dozen most common words, I'd like to ask you what gives you the audacity to keep pushing your personal, uninformed opinions as information about a thing you apparently know hardly anything about? You claim that Polish society's attitude toward gay people is exemplary. No, it isn't. Actually, it's anything but. Not only does Poland not have same-sex marriage, but there's even not an option for gay people to have a civil union. There is a bill prepared for another attempt to legalize the partnership of gay people, but the chances of it being passed by the parliament -- a parliament which is currently of liberal-democratic majority -- are slim. One of the major points of dissent is the clause that would allow the gay partner of a parent to become a legal guardian (with parental rights) of that child/those children. How do you like them apples? Do you still think that Poland is so awesome and neutral when it comes to the treatment of LGBT people? BTW, did you know that in Poland in order to be legally allowed to undergo sex change, you have to enter a civil court case against your parents for "misjudgement of gender"? That's cool and very well organized, isn't it?
Or have you simply had no idea about any of this? Well, to be honest, I'm a little surprised. I'd say that some of this stuff is interesting/shocking enough that it should easily have made top headlines in English-language media reporting about Poland. Do you actually read anything about Poland, or are all your "insights" about this country based on what you can gather from your personal experience (which is admittedly quite limited when you don't know the language)?
And, I probably shouldn't say this, lest I come across as some kind of a hater, but it does strike me as quite surprising that after having lived here for a couple of years, and being so appreciative of the country and what you were able to perceive about its culture and customs, your knowledge of the language and willingness to acquire it are so exceptionally limited and that you talk about the learning process exclusively in terms of an effort. What is a country's culture to you, then? Food and architecture? Women?
Czyli gościu nie może mieć swojego zdania? Bardzo tolerancyjne
@@rychugruby5603 Nie wiem, o co Ci chodzi. Każdy ma prawo do swojego zdania. Ja np. zrealizowałem to prawo pisząc to, co powyżej. Inną rzeczą jest natomiast to, iż powtarzane wygłaszanie fałszywej opinii, szczególnie gdy ma się świadomość swojej popularności i zasięgu, jest wyrazem albo nieodpowiedzialności, albo chęci celowej dezinformacji/manipulacji. A co najmniej zadufanej głupoty: "mam jakieś wydumane wyobrażenie o czymś i to się liczy, a nie jakaś tam prawda".
We welcome easily Asians, Turks (and some other Middle Eastern people) and Hindus (Indians?) but not certain immigrants (that's why they proclaim we are "racist"). It's only because they do live on work of natives in Western Europe. While Asians and Indians are well known for their hard work and like not being trouble makers (unlike immigrants that are pushing at our borders xD). Actually we appreciate such foreigners cause if you work, become part of our culture and are respectful, we are going to welcome you as one of our people.
Just how people don't seem to have problem with sportman Wilfredo Leon (volleyball), even though he's black person (ok, technically latino) in non multicultural country.
It's the only reason. Notice how Poles NEVER were against any Asians (even Muslims, like from Indonesia or Malasia), (especially) Indians and we are kind of fond of Turks. It's different with SOME other immigrants. I think we all know why :)
You can get by without Polish, or with very limited ability.
Great video. Regarding illegal immigration, it's important to mention that Poland was heavily involved in the wars that destabilized the countries that make up many of such immigrants. In 2001, Poland deployed thousands of troops to Afghanistan under direct US Command. Poland was also at the head of the forces invading Iraq in 2003 (top 4). When you go around the globe causing havoc, don't cry about the people running away from the countries you bombed showing up in your country. I find it funny they refer to illegal immigrants as "invaders" when it was countries like Poland that invaded them in the first place. Countries that destabilized other countries do not get my sympathy.
Ok so it is true the government made our army involved in Iraq but to call it heavy involved is BS. Not comparable to what countries such as France, UK, US did in Africa, Asia or elsewhere.
Past few months I could say You're one of my fav youtuber - check how many I subscribe and how old I have my account :) I really enjoy Your channel and it doesn't matter if it's about Poland or not. I love it.
