*Poland is a great country* that has survived the horrors of Nazism and communism !! Greetings from Brazil

[pasulisss]

1. Poland is in CENTER Europe, not Eastern... Honestly center point of Europe is exacly in Poland
2. In Poland we don't have many people from Asia or Africa because Poland naver had colony in history, never had slaves, also for long time Poland was poorer country with no social money for people so not that interesting for immigrants
3. Poland never got any money from Germany... Because Poland was under Soviet Union occupation, all money which Germany paid, went into Soviet Union never to Poland

[siejac]

Lots of bullshit, sorry.
1.Prague was not first university in the world, it was first in Central Europe, second Cracow few years later.
2.German never pay reparations, only for some people that was usings as slaves during war, just Warsaw was destroyed in 85% of buildings, stolen gold, art, destroyed infrastructure, factories, mines, nobody pay for that.
3.Kiss in a hand is very rare.
4.Jews was not only victims of war, in Poland during WW2 dies 3 million ethnic Poles and 3 million of Polish Jews.

[kingagiemza]

In fact Polish goverment mentioned that Germany have never paid certain amount of war reparations, along with art, gold etc. stolen during war.

4:02 We are inclusive. We just don't have too many black people in our country because we've never kidnapped any people from Africa to make them our slaves (so we don't have here their descendants like you)
... and we have a lot of Assian migrants so don't lie about that.

5:47 MORE MONEY??? We've never get any reparation from Germany, because we've been controlled by Soviet Union and couldn't make our own decisions.

...but rest of this video is fine.

[bogicap]

I'm from Hungary, hi brothers!

Hello dear Poland
Love from Kerala, India.
I Love this country and it's people a lot, because I have a couple of polish friends and they are really fantastic people with lots of love respect and manner. One day one of them invited me to her house and served tea and had a really good quality time there. They are educated and ready to roll up the sleeves and earn for themselves and their families. They are proud of their Polish legacy and respect their culture and others as well. Besides that polish people are very much religious and family oriented which is a very good thing to my mind. This is what I understand after mingling with them.
Kudos to all Polish.

Dear Alux

Few important notes as in my opinion you pointed lots of shallow information instead of really showing people what Poland is all about and its history:

1. In XVIII and XIX century Poland was divided and disappear from maps for 123 years. The three countries which took it apart were Russia, Prussia and Austria. The spirit of Polish soul survived for quite a long time and Poland regain independence and some of their territories in 1918 November.
2. There are plenty of immigrants in Poland sadly no one talks about that. Just in the last few years Poland became a home for over 2mln (yes millions) Ukrainians who came to work and study after turmoil in their country. We also had a plenty of Black, Muslim, Asian people coming to Poland as a economical immigrants but majority of them just run to Germany and further. This is because in Poland there are almost no benefits hence they don't want to stay there. Aside of above there are tens of thousands students coming to English based Universities degrees aimed for students from abroad. Whatever you hear in mass media all expats are treated with respect and it's very easy for them to acclimatise in this country.
3. Poland is the hub of IT now, even called European Silicon Valley. Polish programmers, ux designers, IT specialist are among the best in the world. This is due to free or quite cheap colleges and universities and low cost of living so young people can easily work and pay for their education. Major firms opened their offices there (AB, Lenovo, Microsoft, HP, Dell, IBM...) and they offer positions in UK, US and other to constantly treating Poland as cheap hiring country for best personnel.
4. Nice you mentioned about beauty and fashion. Polish people (and specially women) are known to take care for themselves, exercise, keeping slim and dress appropriately. Just take a stroll in any major city to see for themselves and how it compare to other countries. No idea where those genes came from.
5. Politeness - Polish people are one of the nicest hosts in the world. You have to really step on their toes to make them angry. They always welcome you with some food and drink treating your visit like a national holiday where 7 course dinner needs to be prepared.
6. Nationalism - Again don't believe mass media about "angry right wing Poles". To understand Poles strong will and always be ready to defend the Country imagine for the last over 1000 years Poland was always in the middle of Europe attacked constantly from each side. Not many came to help Poland in the time of war the latest WWII where they have a pacts with UK, France and as history shows they were left alone. Because of those generations troubled by wars they will always protect and say good things about Poland which for some may appear as being to much Pro Nationalistic. That's why Government lesson to people and don't want to take trouble makers and destroy the cities from inside like Paris, London and Berlin.
7. Germany paid pennies to the damages caused during WWII. Most of money went to Jews, France. Please remember that Poland was almost completely flattened as this was theatre of war for German and Russian forces constantly passing through this country. Approx 6mln Poles and Jews were killed during WWII, 2-3mln more were taken by Russians to work camps or just simple executed (22000 executed in Katyn 1940 - officers, teachers, lawyers, administration, business owners - to cut top tier in the Poland to ease supervision of Poland). Poland has to literally scrap everything to rebuild itself.
8. Food, food, food - Polish people are proud of naturally cooked dishes. As much as they can they don't use genetically modified food, everything is cooked from scratch. Off course there are plenty of unhealthy fastfoods like Mcdonnalds, KFC, Burger Kings, Kebab huts etc but people prefer to go to small restaurant where they can find cheaper and healthier foods. The beauty of the Polish restaurants is that they are literally every 20-40meters so there is no excuse to eat healthy as opposite to for example London UK (living myself) where it's difficult to find something which is not pizza, kebab or chemical chicken.
9. Castle - Palace - those millions of $ was overstretched. You can buy renaissance palace or medieval castle for refurbishment literally for $200-300k (old palace, outbuildings, approx 10000-15000m2 land) where refurb will cost you maybe $500k-2mln ( they are listed buildings so you have to follow strict guidelines of main architect). There are literally hundreds of those available.
10. On the north sea, in the south mountains with ski tracks completely white in the winter. In the north-east a land of thousand lakes most of them connected by canals where you can make passages in yachts for weeks and weeks with unspoiled forests and greens (still Hitlers bunkers there even one in which assassination plot was undertaken with bomb case).

I could go on and on. In essence if you can go and visit Wroclaw or Cracov cities in Poland and be in awe. You will not be disappointed.

I was born and raised in Poland (30 years old).

Half of those informations are bullshits.

Hello from Russia to Poland

[s_feles_]

Everyone is getting mad about war reparations and central/eastern Europe, but my question is... Why is there not a single word about PIEROGI?

[twisters]
