[Fuyun] just came back from Poland and told you a real Poland, don't believe what is said on the Internet
Poland is a country with a long history. It has gone through countless splits and shocks, as if it had been rebuilt in brokenness forever. The national anthem of the Poles is titled "Poland Did Not Perish", which is not only a lyric, but also a stubborn response to Poland's long history.
Despite its turbulent history, Poland has produced many outstanding talents, such as Copernicus, Marie Curie and Chopin. Today, Poland still exudes a unique charm.
When I actually walked into the country of Poland, I was deeply struck by the warm and cheerful character of the people. There is no haze of history in their smiles, only love and cherishment of the present life.
This optimistic and positive spirit stems from the difficulty of living in peace, which makes Poles cherish the good times in front of them even more. Walking through the streets of Polish cities, you will see the imprint of historical sites everywhere.
The Gothic and Renaissance buildings are a testament to the city's long history and culture. The characteristic stone pavement is an important part of experiencing the atmosphere of the ancient Polish city.
When it comes to jobs for Poles, the minimum wage is 2,800 zlotys, or about 4,000 yuan, while the average salary is 4,639 zlotys, or about 7,668 yuan. Despite being a high-income group in Poland, most people earn only about 3,000 zlotys a month.
The working day for Poles usually runs from 7 a.m. to 3-4 p.m. It is worth mentioning that Poles have a strong tradition of working abroad, which they believe will not only broaden their horizons, but also earn a higher income.
If there is one of the greatest characteristics of Poland, it must be the culture of street vendors and street stalls. Here, hawkers can set up stalls on any street corner to do small business, and the number and liveliness of street stalls even exceed that of physical stores!
A wide variety of products meet the diverse choices of consumers, and this way of shopping also gives people a strong taste of market life.
When it comes to spending, young Polish people are more inclined to enjoy the moment and less focused on saving. This is thanks to the traditional loving support of Polish families, whose parents provide financial help so that they can enjoy life without any worries.
When it comes to prices, the prices of daily drinks and daily chemical products are only about 1.2-1.3 times and half of those in first-tier cities in China, while the prices of catering are also very reasonable and affordable. When it comes to buying a house, you can buy your own house after 12 years of working in Poland, which is hard to imagine in many countries.
The official language of Poland is Polish, which is closely related to Czech and Slovak and belongs to the West Slavic language branch, rather than the often mistaken Russian language.
Young Poles are less inclined to use German and Russian, which is related to the complex historical relationship between the two countries. But Poland is still a very friendly and welcoming country, and the streets are full of locals offering to help.
Their personalities are also very straightforward, they don't beat around the bush, and their likes and dislikes will be directly expressed. This kind of honest communication makes people feel extremely sincere.
Of course, it does not mean that a visit to Poland is foolproof, and you still need to pay attention to the safety of your belongings when traveling. Don't carry a lot of cash and don't show people in public, these basic anti-theft measures are very necessary in any country.
