It’s the first time I hear this theory, it might be true when talking about some Warsaw logos, but the anchor in Poland is the symbol of Polish resistance. Here’s an official explanation: “The sign of the Fighting Poland, popularly known as the Anchor, became the symbol of the Polish Underground State and Poles' resistance against the occupier during the German occupation of Poland.”

@@PolandwithEla Understood. Thank you pani. It was only my opinion based on the story. Did not realize about the anchor.

It is! And not just thanks to the parks :)

Wow, who would have thought! I always thought of Vegas as a place with the „quick-wedding” chapels. Thank you for sharing!

@@PolandwithEla Oh, Vegas is always gonna be famous for that. But go out to the Catholic churches in the Valley and it is a booming population. The AOLV is quite stern and strict about Catholic couples being joined in Holy Matrimony in front of the altar and with all the rubrics of a Catholic wedding. Even the wonderful Quincenearas celebrated by the Hispanic community is devoutly Catholic as the debutante will be kneeling before Our Lady of Guadalupe as Ave Maria is sung.

@@lesevesel2898 beautiful! Thank you for sharing!

That is true of Warsaw :)

Yes! They’re all amazing! When the hustle and bustle of the city gets the best of me, I like to visit them :) and there’s so much going on there, all kinds of events…

Almost there!

Thank you Danny!

Thank you!

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you like the city and I have a feeling you'll love it even more, once you get here. I live in Warsaw though, so won't be able to show you around during the second week of June. I will be in Kraków on Sunday, 23rd of June though and that's when I'll be recording an episode about the Jewish parts of Kraków with my brother (who is the best tour guide I know), if you're around then, you're welcome to join us :)

Thank you!

Yes, and the many attractions there :)

Na stadion Narodowy też się wybieram, ale jak będzie mecz Legii :D

@@PolandwithEla Ooo intuicja mnie nie zawodzi ;) Noo to powiem Ci, że kawał polskości zaprezentujesz widzom, kiedy pomysł dojdzie do skutku :D

Yes and no :) They do make sweet pierogi but for lunch/dinner, not dessert, which would be pies or ice-cream. Pierogi with blueberries or strawberries etc… are some of my favorite lunch dishes and Polish grandmas make them so good…. But when you come for a visit we can eat pierogi every day! Even for dessert :D

To prawda :)

I’ve never tried the porcini mushroom flavour- will have to do that. Any of the things you mentioned is fine to go on top. I personally enjoy fried/caramelized onion on top of the sour flavours and sugary cream on top of the fruit ones. When I eat my pierogi, I usually drink buttermilk. Polish kefir is fine too. But if you like to have wine with it, why not :)

You don’t like?

@@PolandwithEla love it. was rather surprised that this video was recommended. that's all

Ruthenian dumplings come from the (historically) Polish region of Red Ruthenia. Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, some people started calling them Ukrainian dumplings, because of the misconception that Ruthenian (in Polish „ruskie”) is the same as Russian (in Polish „rosyjskie”). People sometimes use it interchangeably.

Jeszcze nigdy nie jadłam pierogów z jabłkami, ale na pewno kiedyś spróbuję.

Thanks for the question. I will look into that. Usually the best dumplings are made by our grandmas so Poles don’t go to restaurants for dumplings that often. The one we ate at is called „Zapiecek” and it’s a chain of restaurants with traditional Polish dishes, among them dumplings (pierogi) of course. It’s certainly worth to check it out when you’re in Warsaw.

It’s my pleasure! Thank you for your comment!

My pleasure :)

I ja również pozdrawiam!

Not yet. I had to juggle few different projects at once, so had less time to focus on the channel. During the summer I will be doing a series about Warsaw and different kinds of places there, and maybe will manage to film the Jewish Kraków in September or October. But till then, check out some of my other videos - I show places like Kazimierz Dolny or Zamość, which are much less known but also very beautiful.

Thank you!

I don’t think it’s just a US issue… unfortunately, it’s worldwide :/
