Hi everyone, I’m a foreigner (from the US) who’s been lurking around this sub for months as I’ve been wanting to visit Poland for some time now. Finally got the chance and now I’m here in beautiful Warsaw having a fantastic time. I absolutely love it. Can’t say enough good things about y’all’s beautiful country. Seriously.

Every single person I’ve interacted with has been wonderful so far. The city is very clean. The old town is gorgeous. I was walking through the old town today and I happened to see a group of school girls doing what looked like a K-Pop dance routine and it seemed so healthy and innocent and safe I said to myself “you don’t see this in the US.”

I stopped by the University of Warsaw on Nowy Swiat and I thought to myself “the American education system is such a f*cking scam compared to this, honestly”

I’m convinced that, in a lot of ways, some Americans would benefit from a shift in priorities and can learn so so so much from the Polish. I certainly have.

I also tried meat Pierogi for the first time today at a small restaurant in the old town and it was chefs kiss.

I also noticed that Sundays are a very special day in Poland. Most stores are closed and the pace of the city slows down a bit. Today felt like a day people spend with their families walking around relaxing and enjoying their life. A stark contrast to what I’m experiencing in the US currently where every day is practically a work day and “the grind” never stops.

Anyways, long live Poland 🇵🇱🇵🇱

  1. Warsaw is good for culture, but it’s not really representative of what Poland is really like. Try heading out into the countryside.

  2. Lucky you! Such a beautiful, vibrant city. Warsaw stole my heart ❤️

  4. I recommend trying boiled pierogi , those deep fryer pierogi are something they only serve in restaurants to heat up dumplings made much earlier. They don’t taste the same.
