If you want to taste best comfort food i recommend checking out kebab. Just be prepared that you have ask your friends for to recommend you some place so you won't buy something we call 'kula mocy', which refers to low quality meet. In kebab always buy chicken. We have magical spell that will work in every kebab to order food and it goes something like this: "dzień dobry, kurczak na cienkim sosy mieszane". Good luck, share with us how it went. And remember good kebab will always be made by Turkish.

I wouldn't say that Poles value societal order (collectivism) over personal freedom (individualism). We are just taught from the beginning that everyone gains from order and cleanliness and one of the main mottos growing up is: "don't do to the others what you wouldn't want on yourself". Personal freedom, I think, is triving in Poland because of that. It's just not the destructive type. I rarely see anyone romanticizing asian (Japanese more specifically) work culture in here and most people want to get as far from it as possible. We have a really dark history with collectivism and everyone still remembers that and I think this is the main reason for Poles being individualistic.

Back when I studied, I had a Japanese neighbour in the dormitory. He studied Polish philology. Anyway, I got to learn from him a bit about Japanese culture and surprisingly there really are quite a lot of similarities. However, there's one thing that we Poles don't really get well (although still better than Americans I believe) is the idea of "honne" and "tatemae". I haven't had that problem with my Chinese friends as they were really open and sociable. But in Japan the idea of politeness is elevated way over the top from my perspective. Poles generally love being straight-forward. We don't sugarcoat and it actually seems as something rude in America as they, on the other hand, think there's always a necessity to express gratitude, especially in business relations where you have to be politically correct. That doesn't really apply too much in Poland. If you screw something up, well... you'll be told instantly. If you do something correctly, then just carry on, everything is normal. Optimal state of beings is expected as normality while abnormalities are scolded here.

In cities there is always somebody with beer next to shop or behind garages but it changes. there are much fewer such situations over time, Domestic abuse isnt common now, but for sure it exist but for smaller scale than 20 or 30 years ago. I have witnessed such situations but only verbally, Ive never seen anyone hitting anyone. What im getting at is that society is changing a lot and you can see a big differnce over the years.

Our history has left a strong mark on our families, where you don't tell other people what's going on at home. Only recently have we started talking more loudly about problems with alcohol abuse or domestic violence. All this has been there for years, but only the current generation of 30-year-olds is stopping hiding the truth. And we have always been taught that no matter how your family treats you, whether good or bad, you always have to be nice to them, good and ready to make any sacrifices.

I'm a Pole and here's few things from my side. I love nature and sadly there are so many places that are not clean, e.g. some forests, beaches, sea. Big cities try to look clean but when u go to the forest u may find so much rubbish... Empty bottles, cans, plastic bags, u name it; sometimes even a wild garbage dump (more common in smaller cities and villages). Nuclear families. Many couples stay in a long term relationship because they're married and usually woman is afraid to walk away from an alcoholic and abusive husband. It's better now than than it was in the past but still alcoholism (in general) is a very real problem in Poland. And lastly, food. Polish cuisine is quite heavy/stodgy what is one of the causes of obesity problem in Poland. I've been a vegetarian since I'm 14, recently become a vegan and it was so difficult to me to eat something in the Polish restaurant/canteen - other than potatoes with salad, sweet pancakes or pierogis. It's better now for vegetarians (now you'll usually get pierogi with cheese and spinach, or some vege dish but not vegan one) but still quite bad for vegans. I was the weird one for so long and special meal needed to be ordered just for me, cause a typical Polish dinner has meat in it. So I just love the fact that when I go to Asian restaurant I know that there would be something vegan there (not to mention vegetarian options) without checking the menu. And I choose Asian cuisine over Polish (especially Japanese and Vietnamese, don't think we've got good representation of Chinese food in Poland, and Korean is too hot/spicy for me) cause I love umami taste, rice, veggies and tofu ^_^

the quality of food dropping so obesity is increasing, the bread that people used to eat is not the same as people eat now. Poland has much more process food etc.
The Asian community is well perceived, as they are hard working people, never made any problems, usually humble and hardworking and form the historically point of view we had never had any battle or conflict with Asians 😂😂😂. But - especially in Warsaw most of Asian community are the Chinese, in some point related to the market with cheap Chinese products, and Vietnamese, who came in 1990’s. They are more related to the Vietnamese cuisine and restaurants and now it’s the second generation of them living in Poland - actually born and raised in Poland (so sometimes it might be odd when you see the Vietnamese young guy speaking perfect Polish, but then you realise he is actually Polish and his homeland is here in Poland.)

fun fact: if you want to pronounce the letter "Ł, ł" you have to say "aw", then the sound after "a" should sound like it, hope it helps in pronouncing that letter since it's the most used in sentences and words, mostly letters like "ą, ę" aren't so useful since they're pronounced as "a, e" PS Ł and ł are the same letters, they're just the capital letter and the normal one edit: forgot to delete something from the comments, sorry

Thats why relationships last in Poland, passion fades with time, but if you like the person youre with, you enjoy spending time with them, its easier to get through tough times together.

One thing. I see graffiti in Poland very sentimental way. If people would have a problem with grafiti and it would start disappearing from buildings I wouldn't feel like it's 'cleaner' or 'better'. A town without graffiti in Poland is not a safe town. Thank you for reading >:333

Never heard of family with domestic abuse or alcoholic problems, maybe because I'm from quite large city. But these stereotypes are still alive even among Polish people.

Indeed, the issue persists in the south and east of Poland, with many cases remaining unreported. Aside from this, Polish families seem to thrive, with both fathers and mothers enjoying equal rights and responsibilities.

These ain't stereotypes. Drinking culture in our country is pretty messed up and it has brought many people to the gutter causing domestic abuse both physical and mental. Every single day you can see many homeless people around cities and villages, in the buses and trains but some of them actually have homes which they go back to when they are done drinking. Few years ago there were some statistics that stated something like "1 million 100ml vodka bottles are sold everyday in Poland before noon" which is pretty believable and scary since you can safely say that these are bought by people who need a "morning fix" even if they are working and can be labaled as high functioning alcoholics. 1/4 of polish people were mentally ill at some point of their lives usually for anxiety and depression, only 53% of kids are seeking help from their parents when problems occur, bout 40% of kids have considered commiting sui**** and 1/3 of them is supected of being depressed. Social werfare centres in Poland are pretty useless and unfair just like courts when it comes to family issues (police too). I would say nowadays these problems ain't as big as they were a few years back but they still exist no matter the size of the city, there are hoods in almost every single one of them and despite them not being that dangerous anymore, behind closed door shi*t happens. I think everyone in Poland knows someone who was abused, had problems with their family or abused substances themselves.

Public order versus personal freedom makes Poland similar to Asian countries. I don't know where to start to say there is completely nothing similar to compare. First of all... Asiatic countries historically enforce public order at the cost of personal freedom. Poland is build on personal freedoms which united create public order. You most likely never learned about the Polish "Golden Liberties." Here is how it works historically. When all countries around Poland over the last many centuries engaged into authoritarian states (where populations were subdued to the public order against their personal freedom and will, Poland was a quasi-democratic country spreading personal freedom as the main idea of the society. If you see Poland as a country in which public order is good, it means this public order comes not from a whip or a gun held by the authority to Polish people, but because they understand that to express their own freedoms is to provide public order.

About polish relationships, you shouldn't think about two polish people as if they are coming together only to have sex or experience some sort of emotional crescendo - we treat each other as partners in crime and require stable, dependable someone who is not only a lover, but also a friend, a confidant and a truthsayer, in order to operate within the harsh reality of being di*ked over by both germany, our own government, UN and russia. In a way, in poland, even if there is societal order, most of the time you are on your own, and in a weird way, that fosters the societal order, because people try to belong to groups in order to have a safety net in their lives - those groups are parts of bigger collective which creates the society, etc. TLDR; Polish relationships are less about scoring a bodycount and more about a lifelong "partnership in crime", and I'm sorry if you do not understand the metaphor, but that's the most accurate way I could put it using english.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="80">1:20</a> I guess relations in Poland are not as strong as they may seem. Rather, the low divorce rate is because older people often stay in loveless marriages. You can often see memes in groups with an older couple who hate each other. I'm not sure why it looks like this, but it seems to me that such people decide that divorce makes no sense and it's better to stay in such a relationship.

Honestly in Warsaw I don't "see" many Asians when I don't think about it - they blend in so well. They mind their own, work hard, behave well, so the most times I notice there Asians is in Asian restaurants - I love the quality and reasonable prices. When the food is great I "suddenly" notice the kitchen is fool of Asians. ;)

Our Polish national sport is moaning and complaining. It's never good to respond to "how are you" by saying "great". The better response is just to say "it's ok, life's tough, could be better". Not that we don't feel great at this particular moment but the person you are talking to might get annoyed. And by saying that life's tough can be a good starting point for a nice conversation ;)
