Do NOT do this is #Poland! Paddy reacts to Wolters World’s tips on visiting Poland. #travel

[moira]

Also, never suggest a Polish person that they have any cultural or political connections with Russia (especially now). I get that all the time abroad, for example I get asked if a lot of people in Poland speak Russian. The answer is - not anymore!

Survival tip: never smile randomy at bald people near football stadiums

"If you meet Polish people and they invite you to YOUR home..." Great job mate

1. In China, India and on the Slav teritory there is sometimes an ancient belief that a house threshold separates cozy and safe home space from that of wild spirits and danger. And by holding a hand over that threshold you make a hole in the barrier making it possible for bad things to penetrate into your home. Threshold is a special place. Newborn children were placed on the threshold as a symbol of acceptance to the family. Dead feti and stillborns were buried under the threshold to have the innocent spirits guard the place. Dying people were placed head to threshold to ease his pain and give quicker death. And after wedding a groom carried his wife over the threshold. Threshold was a unholy place and also a burial place of kids. That's also why you don't welcome a guest over it. It could be seen by the spirits as lack of respect and anger them making you argue with the one you are welcoming. Of course we are talking about one story houses where threshold is in the ground, not the multi store buildings that nowadays rarely have a threshold as a physical piece of board.
2. By Savoir-vivire you should welcome a guest in the most representative place of the house

As a polish person i Say that the shoes part is very very very incredibly important. If you get invited and you'll Come in in shoes you'll probably won't be invited ever again

[Samuel-kuqb]

I love how shoes were used to also avoid dragging dirt with us everywhere, especially in the house, and yet American standard is wearing them indoors… WHY??

[wardism]

Honestly the shoes thing is pretty global. If it's not your house take you shoes off. Just common sense. Unless they say you can keep them on.

"Mauuuul halten!!"
My favourite quote lol

[lwr]

If u cant speak polish but can say "Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz" we will be happy, thats true xD

[randomchick]

I spent a bit of time in Poland and stayed with a family in a small town in southern Poland for a little bit. The family spoke little English and we spent a lot of time just trading words for different objects. One of the funniest moments we had was when the three of us (Americans) tried to pronounce the polish word for bee: pszczoła

Best of luck

I live in Warsaw and I’m taking Polish lessons. The struggle.

[BamaRushandLilMan]

I met Mark back in 2020 when everyone was doing livestreams and joined him while discussing when that travel would reopen. Very nice man.

[Void-mlbo]

In Poland, when you handshake in doorway, it means you invite a Bad ghost to your house. Something like that (przynajmniej u mnie na Śląsku tak jest)

[burst]

With the slipper rule, sometimes they will tell you that it's ok and you can wear your shoes but I always take them off
