Tap water is not polluted, I drink straight from the tap for at least a decade or so and it's all fine. You'll get a different taste from it because it's 'hard water', which means it contains a lot of minerals, mainly calcium bicarbonate and magnesium bicarbonate. You can notice it by the amount of limescale in kettles etc. For health it's completely neutral but yes, it can force you to use other cosmetics, I've heard complaints of dry hair. If it bothers you, you can always buy a filter. For the bathroom I'm not sure, but for drinking get a filtering jug of the "Brita" type, they're easy to get in a hypermarket and very affordable. In particular, they do get rid of the limescale effectively.

People being friendly on the street is much more pronounced during summer. It's more common to strike up conversations with strangers in summer, I remember a few years ago I ended up talking to 3 random people on my (short) way to work about nothing in particular, it was a bit of a shock.

Honestly, I haven't noticed "a lot" of interracial couples, not that I pay much attention. I think most people don't care so much about race once they get to know you. It's the US and to some extent the Latin American countries, and former European empires (Britain, France etc.) that have this divide according to race, which is strongly encoded in culture and a centuries-old tradition. In Poland people, especially in the small towns, can be wary of people who look or in general are very different to them, but it's not so much the case in Warsaw, because there are so many.

Vietnamese diaspora has indeed been in Poland for decades, since the communist times. They are very appreciated due to being hardworking and not causing any trouble. In the Włochy district in Warsaw, you have the Asian town, where tons of Asian restaurants and shops are. Warsaw is of course the most cosmopolitan city in Poland as it has the best job opportunities.

As a Lithuanian, i super love Warsaw. I come over to Poland in general at least once a year for the past 4 years, but this year alone inwas already there a few times, including Zakopane and obviously my favourite Warsaw. Nothing to compare with Vilnius at all :)

[sifatreza]

I’m team Warsaw. I love Krakow and it has a different vibe but I lived in Warsaw for a year and fall In love with the city. Food scene is amazing, restaurants serve food from all over the world, living cost is still tolerable, lots of greeneries in the city, public transport is available and super easy to navigate. Most importantly, people are amazing there. I made some precious friends there that will last forever. I had the most beautiful time of my life living in Warsaw ❤ Thanks for sharing and your video captured everything pretty well. In future I’m planning to moving back to Warsaw😊

Tap water in Warsaw is not polluted, it is simply harder than in other cities! You can safely drink it without filtering or cooking - it is 100% safe for people. If you have a problem with the feeling left by hard water, try for example, going to the Tatra or Bieszczady Mountains - the water there is phenomenal.

Thanks for this video! I'm going to Poland tomorrow so this is great to know.

[MarkS-jv]

Warsaw is also one of the safest cities in the world.

This is my second video of yours (first one was 13 things you just don't do in Poland - I agree 100%). I must say you are very observant and your videos are interesting. I am Polish myself (born and raised in Warsaw but currently living in Wales). I laughed so much when you showed "the Polish smile", I loved it! I haven't realized it until now :D I do it very often. I hope you have a good day!

Hi. I am Polish. Born in west of Poland. Living outside of Poland at the moment. Going to Vietnam for vacations in December for 2nd time (last time 2023). I love Vietnam :).
I am impressed how 'to the point' your observations are about Warsaw or Krakow. You come up with really good conclusions. Sometimes for a Pole they are not so obvious, but you are able to get the 'core' of the topic. I am impressed.
I lived in Warsaw 3 years and I confirm it is a place to live in PL with most options to choose. I moved to Krakow though later and I also enjoyed it but not so much as in Warsaw. Krakow is still a small city, while Warsaw is a cosmopolitan city with so many opportunities and ways to live.
Thanks for your video!

Only one, short visit to Warsaw and so many good observations. I live in Warsaw for over 20 years and I like it! The city develops so fast, you can be surprise every month by many changes on every level; transport, restaurants, cafes, skyscrapers, green areas, events, concerts, museums. And it is still very safe city with clean public transport. Krakow is lovely, but for me great for a weekend trip, more like holiday vibe. Warsaw is high energy and progress.

About the graffiti - you're right. Most of it appeared during the lockdown, but now the city authorities' indifference to this problem is annoying. About the tap water - what "pollutants" in it are you talking about? Warsaw's water treatment plant is ultramodern and effective, tap water here is perfectly clean and straight drinkable, some experts say that it's better than bottled water.

[Sup_bro]

I appreciate the video man. Ima check out Warsaw and who knows maybe that’ll be home 😎

[HealthyTravelsNow]

Beautiful, well done 👍 Keep up the great content. Subbed.

[HogfatherPL]

Interesting fact about the water in Warsaw's taps. It is not poluted, only mineral, like from a bottle. The point is that it can be drunk from the tap and is healthy. The minerals contained may influence the sensations during bathing, for example.

[Ryan-uldy]

The infrastructure there looks amazing. Something that I miss in Colombia.

[BeeboiZam]

Good video Wes! Looking forward to seeing more of you in Warsaw!

[persi_why]

Appreciate man 👍 I was living for 2 years in Warszawa and it was amazing time of my life

[kaj]

You nailed it with that polish smile. I bet I look exactly like that half of the time I interact with strangers 😅

[chevychase]

I was last in Warsaw in 1989. I loved it. Lazienki Park was fabulous and I loved the community gardens which I hope are still there. I loved how they adored Chopin then and I hope that hasn't changed!
