I visited Poland (Warsaw) for the first time. Here is my impression of Poland. - Flat and foresty - People don't smile and don't greed you- I got "emerging country" vibes. I could tell people don't live bad. Standards of living are decent. It's clean and peaceful. Stable country, growing in all areas, but it's in the early to mid stages of its maturity as a country- Consumerism is still in its developing stage.- Safe and high trust society. I never felt unsafe anywhere at any time. I forgot my bag at a bench late at night, and when I came back after 1 hour, it was still there. I also saw some stuff left on a bench, and nobody was touching it. - Law-abiding people. I noticed nobody was crossing on red even when there were no cars anywhere to be seen. Late at night, I saw some red-light-crossing, but most people were patiently waiting for the green. - Not a cosmopolitan city. It's slowing becoming more international, and diversity is creeping in, but for the most part, people are not used to foreigners and tourists. It seems to be a novelty for them.- Similar to Germans, people are friendly if you ask them something, but they don't want to engage with you beyond that. - Lack of organizational skills. Things do work, and it's an orderly country, but not highly efficient. E.g., the bike lanes are so chaotic. The pedestrian lane is always in between two bike lanes, so if you want to cross the street, you always have to first cross the bike lane, and you have to look for flying bikes. This was really annoying, and I almost got hit a couple of times. Also, in front of tourist attractions, there were big parking lots and a lot of parked cars. It makes it difficult to take a picture without a car being in the middle. - Not pedestrian friendly! It seemed like the city was not designed for people walking, but for cars and recently updated to include bicycles too!
>>199964178>I noticed nobody was crossing on red even when there were no cars anywhere to be seen.That's because it's strictly banned here and the police loves making money on fining people for it so we are already taught in kindergartens that crossing on red is the worst felony possible. >- Not pedestrian friendly! It seemed like the city was not designed for people walking, but for cars and recently updated to include bicycles too!Yes, commie cities are always like that and it's hard to improve this because of how they're planned (wide roads, tall commieblocks). It's better in pre-WW2 areas but Warsaw has few of them for historical reasons. Also, Warsaw is not really good representation of Poland, sadly it's our capital so most foreigners end up here which skews their image of Poland (in both positive and negative sense, it's just a world on its own).
>>199964178Adolf, you have to come back and make order with ukrainians.
>>199964520shut up, Ukrainians are our bros
>>199964178Why would an Austrian go to Warsaw instead of Kaiserliche und Königliche Stadt Krakau?
>>199964178>not mentioning skyscrapersWarsawbros, we didn't spam this board enough apparently, time to correct it
>>199964555More like you're their bitch lol
>>199964178everything on point, also Warsaw stands out when it comes to pedestrian unfriendliness, other cities are much better in that regard
>>199964730>other cities are much better in that regardbut they don't have skyscrapers
>>199964178>It seemed like the city was not designedYes, that's a correct assessment of w*rsaw
>>199964178The problem I have with westerners writing anything about Poland here is that I never know if they're real native westoids or immigrants so I don't know if I should take their opinions seriously or ignore them.
>>199964178>I noticed nobody was crossing on red even when there were no cars anywhere to be seenGermans and Poles truly are the same people <3
>>199964778all Polish cities are like this in this way or another since urban planning in the western sense doesn't exist anywherejust some cities look better by the virtue of having more historical architecture and some don't have it, but modern planning is equally non-existent everywhere
>>199964555Go back to the trenches, Mykola
>>199964178>the pedestrian lane is always in between two bike lanes, so if you want to cross the street, you always have to first cross the bike lane, and you have to look for flying bikestotal cyclist death
>>199964178t. Karol Wedel>>199964744Either-or.
>>199964800You should ignore them in both cases and work towards a fully autarkic 100% pure Lechitic ethnostate.
>>199964892Wedel was German not Austrian THO
>>199964178>- Lack of organizational skills. Things do work, and it's an orderly country, but not highly efficient. E.g., the bike lanes are so chaotic.

>>199964178I will not read your blog
>>199964948>German not Austriansame thing
>>199964178so basically Poles are like Ossis and Poland is like the Ossiland yet the biggest Poland-hater on this board is the butthurt Ossi kek, feels like a family conflict
>>199964178I want to escape Korea to live in Poland or Latvia
>>199964990>feels like a family conflictalways has been. ossis are germanized wends and polabians
>>199965027what for
>>199964688Pawel from Warsaw oblast here, I totally agree with this random Polish comrade kurwa
>>199965027Come to Wrocław, lots of Koreans here. There is a whole Koreatown for them
>>199964178I've been to Austria recently and I am jelaous ever since. Your country is very wealthy, pristinely clean, and well organized. I wish we would one day reach that level. The only thing I didn't like is that even in small towns there are lots of immigrants, but I hope they will assimilate and it will somewhat work out
>>199965069To escape this extreme weather and complex geopolitics
>>199964948Austrians are germans THO
>>199965122Wedel was protestant THO
>>199965102>The only thing I didn't like is that even in small towns there are lots of immigrantses ist vorbei>but I hope they will assimilate and it will somewhat work outlollmao
>>199965102so just go to Slovenia, it has all pros of Austria without the cons>>199965119>extreme weatheridk what you mean but it's quite hot in Poland now too. And the winters here are harsh>complex geopoliticsI think our geopolitical location is as bad as Korea's
>>199964178From my experience the biggest diffenence I've seen after visiting most European countries is that Poland really stands out when it comes to the fatherhood. I have never seen a father walking alone with a stroller or walking with a child on his back anywhere else than Poland. Men seem to be proud fathers here, other than that Poland is really nothing special, it's a homogenous country with given set of rules that most people abide and life just goes on.
>>199965226>Men seem to be proud fathers here,lol, and that's why we have almost the lowest birth rate in the world?
>>199965102>I didn't like is that even in small towns there are lots of immigrants, but I hope they will assimilate and it will somewhat work out
>>199965037Bros, why did Wendish languages have to die? Polabian was so kino. I can't believe the Germans have done this.
>>199965280>lol, and that's why we have almost the lowest birth rate in the world?No low birth rates are caused by women choosing careers over having children.
>>199964668Oh, yeah I forgot about this lolYes! Warsaw has more skyscrappers than London. This also made a big impression on me.
>>199964821>just some cities look better by the virtue of having more historical architecture and some don't have it, but modern planning is equally non-existent everywhereYes, exactly. Most of our old cities at least have the old planning as a framework modern devshits (TDD) are forced to work around, whereasbeit w*rsaw has nothing. It's an architectural Frankenstein's monster, a garish, tasteless hodgepodge of all that is ugly in all possible styles. Concrete commieblocks, glass-and-steel skyscrapers, occasional attempts at restored pre-war architecture, anything and everything in between, all mashed together and clumsily scrambled. Tragicomedically enough, this architectural chaos perfectly mirrors the nature of this "city" in nearly every other aspect.This isn't even a sovless place - it's a place with a negative anti-sovl, one that actively drains its inhabitants of normalcy, decency and sense of belonging, turning tgem vain, void and utterly unhinged.

>>199965280One may be somehow a result of the other, yeah. Normies are slowly noticing just how fucked we are in the long term with our demographic collapse, so having a kid may start to be something rare znd impressive. It might be a good thing, a foundation for eventually reversing this trend.

I'm PL but I spent a shitload of time abroad in multiple countries. PL is getting better, which is nice, but people still remain rather close-minded and materialistic. They feel very intimidated by the wider world and frightened by anything even remotely high-brow.
