You hit the jackpot with that last one. We can't help this mentality especially when Poland struggled so much to gain independence. You know what the Iron Curtain was right? Every western country had a chance to develop economically but us. If we had a chance to get something western it was like touching God's feet. So even long after the Curtain fell, we still think that everything that's western is better. The word "zachodni" still equals "better" in Poland.

@Hades Eye Are you kidding me?! We had no money - the number of people expropriated from property, living in extreme poverty and the homeless was astronomical, there was no food and other everyday products in stores (rich man was recognized by the fact that he had several rolls of toilet paper at home), our products were of much lower quality than western ones, people were repressed and murdered on a daily basis and it was virtually impossible to get out of this hell to the rich Western countries. Because of that, Poland is now a poor country, with people full of inferiority complex who only dream about living in prosperity in rich countries (rich, because they have never experienced communism) after graduating from school.

I am Polish, living in Finland and if you want to see winters that are long and hard you better come to Finland. ;) Poland is like an island in the Carribean when compared to Finland. And about the questions you get asked - that’s probably asked by people who never lived abroad, maybe even never went abroad. I would absolutely prefer to live in Poland but for now I have job here. Looking forward to coming back to Poland. I have my family, friends and my flat there, and hey I miss Poland everyday. Everything seems to be less complicated at home. For example healthcare - cheap and easily available - don’t get fooled by anybody saying that Nordic countries are the best places to live, all the perks are only available to people born in there or those who obtain citizenship (and that’s a lot of time and work). As an EU citizen working here I am just a taxpayer for them. I actually know more foreigners satisfied with living in Poland than those who are happy living in Finland. As for the napkins - they are actually very good in absorbing fat but I understand where you’re coming from :) Thanks for speaking kindly of my country, I am glad you like it in here :)

About that annoying things in Poland, You are absolutely right. They are annoying to everyone living in Poland to. But some of those examples need an explanation. 1. Body distance - it depends who you meet. As you said younger people keep their distance. 2. People are always late - that's just not true. Problem with your students its because they paying for your lectures. Reason for that is they think i paid for that so i have a right to be late. People did not feel that obligation like in a school or university. 3. Money is a problem not a sizes. There is not enough of that smaller coins because they are just too expensive to make and National Bank did not make them enough. 4. And last one thing that need explanation. Average Pole is a very insecure. It's because of we tend to think about ourselves as a poor nation that everyone laughs and that we are always losing and noone is respect us. That's why you get this stupid question why you live in Poland. Its because horrors of world war and 50 years of communism killed spirit of this nation.

We have to understand it, because we can either struggle with inferiority complex, or get so cocky and arrogant we think we can surrvive as an isolated island among countries we look down upon (unfortunately I'm talking about you, Piotr Lenar). And those napkins are really stupid, even though I know exactly how to use it. The point is they suppose to sit on the table like a pocket square in your jacket, it is only for looks, but often times they are the only napkins available, and there are no *real* napkins to take out from the counter!

I explain the problem with coins. In 1995 there was new denomination of polish currency. The problem is that that time they went to far and they "cut too many "zeros". I mean they changed 10.000 polish zloty that time to 1 zloty. They should have done that 1.000 złoty to 1 złoty. This was because they had prediction that inflation in Poland in next years will be high and small amounts on money (paid in coins) will be soon pushed out from market because many goods will be more expensive so small amounts of money (below 10 złoty) will not be in use. But the inflation wasn't so high as they predicted (Leszek Balcerowicz - master of economy). So we stayed with so many coins in turnover. Coins are generally more expensive in production than paper money. So this is why this problem is so common.

I find it easier to say "no, sorry" and take the scowl from the cashier. I have been known to hide in the corner, and pre count out the exact money before lining up to pay.

I live in Ireland. I always try to convince Irish people to come and visit Poland 🤗 They usually go to Spain because there is more sunny days annually and you can buy all inclusive very cheap but Poland is a little bit underrated gem in Europe. Thanks to open borders it has changed a lot in last 10 years.

4:42 This is a good point about shops not keeping enough change. This was a constant problem in my parent's time in the 70s/80s, and when I visited Poland in 2009, several times the shop didn't have the required change and gave me extra. I have never had this problem in Australia. Why is it so hard in Poland? I guess this issue may disappear now that Paywave/Paypass is faster and much easier than using notes and coins, but the problem with change has been an issue in Poland for many decades.

Mam wrażenie - niczym szczególnym nie poparte - że takie treści pojawiają się u osób które nie specjalnie dużo wiedzą o innych krajach, nie znają obcokrajowców, nie rozmawiają z nimi itp.

Nie mogę się zgodzić. Nieskromnie uważam, że wiem trochę na temat innych krajów i znam więcej obcokrajowców niż Polaków, a mimo wszystko ta opinia wciąż ma ogromny sens. Polska to jeden wielki chaos polityczny i ekonomiczny. Przyrównując teraz do Wielkiej Brytanii, która na chwilę obecną też nie jest krainą mlekiem i miodem płynąca: -Lepsze zarobki (A kto mówi, że pieniądze nie mają znaczenia miał szczęście nigdy nie widzieć biedy) -Lepszej jakości produkty: kupując tanią koszulkę w Polsce od razu spodziewam się, że po kilku praniach będzie nadawać się tylko do kosza; kupując tanią koszulkę w Wielkiej Brytanii wiem że prędzej ja się rozsypię niż ten materiał. -Edukacja: pomijając tonę idiotycznych nakazów i zakazów szkoły w Wielkiej Brytanii są dużo lepsze od tych w Polsce, uczą myśleć i analizować, a nie wykuwać całe książki na pamięć. Organizacja też jest lepsza, wolne dni w szkołach są dużo bardziej sensownie rozlokowane, tak samo plany lekcji. -Kultura : sprawa dosyć dyskusyjna, jednak odnoszę wrażenie, że jakby na to nie patrzeć większość ludzi w WB, a przynajmniej tych z którymi się zadaję, ma dużo zdrowsze podejście do życia, nie mają w sobie tyle... złości, zawiści, zgorzkniałości? Naprawdę ciężko określić co kieruje znaczną liczbą Polaków. -Wsparcie od państwa: absolutnie nie mówię, że rząd podejmuje same dobre decyzje, ale mimo wszystko jest wiele udogodnień dla obywateli: dobrym przykładem jest to że ludzie nie muszą kisić się w 6-7 osób w jednym mieszkaniu jak to w Polsce bywa. Oczywiście, są też rzeczy które wyglądają w Polsce lepiej, i też takie które są dość porównywalne. Na przykład powiedziałabym, że pod względem stanu mieszkań i domów, a także komunikacji miejskiej jest podobnie. Podsumowując uważam że opinia o pozycji Polski względem innych krajów w kontekście dobrobytu(?) jest tematem na tyle obszernym, że absolutnie nie ma możliwości rozstrzygnąć która strona ma rację. Tak więc osobiście uważam, że punkt 5 odcinka jest bardzo subiektywny, zwłaszcza biorąc pod uwagę że istnieje możliwość że ludzie ci zadawali te pytania ze zwykłej ciekawości.

Jeśli chodzi o zarobki mogę porównać 2 stolice. Mój mąż programista z niezbyt dużym doświadczeniem w Londynie dostaje 2,2 tys na rękę, w Warszawie 8, przy czym cena wynajmu mieszkania w Warszawie to ok 2-2.5 tys zl więc ok 1/4 wypłaty, a w Londynie tej samej wielkości mieszkanie 1200 daleko od centrum, a więc połowę wypłaty. Kwestia zarobków to nie do końca kwestia kraju, raczej zawodu jaki się wykonuje i wielkości miasta. Poziom życia mieliśmy podobny lub odrobinę lepszy w Warszawie. Znam osoby które porównują Londyn do małego miasteczka w Polsce. Wtedy rzeczywiście różnice byłyby duże.

A co do kiszenia się w jednym mieszkaniu po 6-7 osób. Nie znam w Polsce żadnego 30 latka który mieszka jak student z grupą ludzi. Większość moich znajomych kupiło mieszkania lub wynajmuje z mężem, partnerem, samodzielnie. Tutaj natomiast jest to nagminne. Ludzie mieszkają w 2-3 pary w jednym mieszkaniu. W zespole mojego męża on jako jedyny z 7 osób wynajmuje mieszkanie. Pozostali wynajmuja pokoje. U mnie w biurze jest podobnie. Są nawet małżeństwa po 40 które mieszkają z dziećmi w małym wynajmowanym mieszkaniu. I jeszcze podnajmuja pokój żeby było taniej. W takich warunkach to i w Warszawie można by było sporo oszczędzać.

Well, I wonder when was the last time you have taken US collage classes. Happens to be that I took them about 10 years ago and..... students were notoriously late, so we have first disagreement here. Second is about US coins. Have you noticed that penny is bigger than 5 cents , and also bigger than 10 cents, more so 10 cents is smaller than 5 cents. So, sometime it is a good idea to look around, perhaps than you would notice that all US bills look exactly the same, same size same color same general pantern.

I visited Canada some twenty years ago and had two "adventures" related to a personal comfort zone. I think Canadians share the same point of view on that matter as you, Americans. The first one happened when I was leaving the grocery and accidentally walked into a lady. She looked at me as if I killed her favourite pet hamster with a hammer. Or a microwave. I apologized to her a few times, but as you may suspect it didn't work too well. The other time I was the victim ;). I was queuing at the theme park for a roller-coaster ride. In front of me there was a lady with her kids waiting for the same ride. And then it happened. She moved backwards and stepped on my foot. She turned around and what she saw frightened her. I am a rather tall (186 cm) and massive (around 120 kg) person and she was a small woman (I guess she was 155 cm or so). I saw she was frightened, she started to apologize and then I did something she didn't expect - I shrugged and said "it's ok". She just couldn't believe it. I guess these two stories clearly illustrate the difference between how we feel about personal zone comfort and potential incursions into it - in both cases in Poland short and plain apology would have solved the whole issue.

Personal space depending of region. With Asia and Middle East having closest and US, Canada fathers. You just have deal with that. What westerners doing in poor countries? Same as in previous centuries, mostly exploits natural resources and cheap labor or enjoy cheap vacation. Polish old napkins sucks, but seen in Warsaw this year western styles. Poles was traditionally late to work, school because of poor public transportation and lack of cars. You didn't mention paying for restrooms, that's really old tradition, should be changed.

I'd say maybe 5% of Poles tend to be late quite often. When it comes to the personal distance I think completely the opposite 😜 - we rather tend to keep it much bigger than ppl from other European countries, which makes it funny when you talk to a foreigner and try to keep distance while they try to get closer. Who still uses those napkins? 😂 I do remember them from the '90s and maybe early 2000's. However, I see them quite often in Spain.
