I HAVE ASKED MY FRIENDS OVER FACEBOOK WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT POLAND AND THE POLES.

I ASKED THEM FOR WHAT THEY LIKE AND DISLIKE IN MY COUNTRY.

I HAVE GOT QUITE NICE PERSPECTIVES FROM VERY BRIGHT PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER.

ENJOY!

FROM MY EXPERIENCE I DON'T LIKE HOW ANTI SOCIAL YOUNG POLISH PEOPLE ARE, IT MIGHT BE A BAD EXAMPLE BUT I WAS IN KLODZKO AND WE WERE GIVING OUT LEAFLETS FOR YOUTH IN ACTION AND 9 TIMES OUT OF 10 WE WERE TOLD TO "FUCK OFF„

I LIKE THE SOUP BEFORE THE MAIN PART OF THE MEAL, SOMETHING WE DONT DO IN ENGLAND, I HAD A LOT OF CHICKEN WHEN I WAS IN POLANDI DON'T LIKE THE ROADS, A FEW TIMES I WAS ALMOST KILLED

Brandon Mason, UK

FIRST OF ALL POLISH PEOPLE ARE NOT ARROGANT; GENERALLY THEY ARE POLITE TO FOREIGNERS. THE MOST SURPRISING THING IS FOR ME GENERALLY THEY ARE HARDWORKING, SPORT IS A COMMON ACTIVITY; BUT THESE OPINIONS ARE RELATED TO TURKEY

ALSO THEY HAVE GOOD FAMILY RELATIONS

GENERALLY MY OPINIONS ARE GOOD

BUT I DON'T LIKE THAT PEOPLE DOES NOT KNOW THE HISTORY AND THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN OTHER CULTURES; GENERALLY PEOPLE HAVE PREJUDICE AND THEY DON'T GIVE ANY AFFORD TO LEARN OTHERS.

Ibrahim Dal, Adana

DO NOT LIKE: POLISH PEOPLE ALWAYS COMPLAIN ABOUT EVERYTHING, AND EVERYTHING EITHER ON MAXIMUM OR MINIMUM THERE IS RARELY IS A MIDDLE

LIKE: POLES ALWAYS DANCE, THE MOST DANCING NATION IN EASTERN EUROPE! WHEN RUSSIAN PEOPLE DRINK TILL DEATH ON WEDDING POLES DANCE TILL DEATH. POLISH LANGUAGE SAVED MY LIVE IN SO MANY COUNTRIES, BECAUSE POLES I GUESS ARE VERY UNITED NATION

HEY SOMETHING I LIKE IS THE ENERGY AND OPENESS, YOU ARE FULL OF IT AND IT IS NICE TO STAY AROUND YOU. ANOTHER THING IS THAT YOU ARE PROUD OF YOUR COUNTRY AND EVEN IF THE THINGS MIGHT GO WRONG SOMETIMES YOU DEFEND YOUR COUNTRY

I LOVE POLAND AND POLISH PEOPLE...THEIR YOUNG PEOPLE ARE THE BEST EDUCATED IN EUROPE..THEIR NATION HAS SURVIVED SO MUCH BATTERING FROM THE GERMANS AND RUSSIANS AND IT IS ASTOUNDING HOW THEY KEPT THEIR COUNTRY ALIVE AND RESURRECTED IT AFTER BEING TAKEN OFF THE MAP FOR 100 YEARS..GO POLAND AND HAIL THE PETRYKOZY PALACE, MY PARADISE

AREK - SOME FROM ME - I REALLY LIKE IT WHEN I SAY STH IN ENGLISH AND MANY PEOPLE JUST CLAM UP AND LOOK A BIT SCARED.. "OH DAMN, I CAN'T TALK TO HIM IN ENGLISH", THEY THINK - AND THEN I SAY SOMETHING IN BROKEN POLISH.. "DUZE KAWA, PROSZE" OR SOMETHING AND THERE IS A BIG SMILE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF MY WEAK ATTEMPTS AT SPEAKING IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE - IT'S VERY GRATIFYING.

ALSO, HOW ALMOST EVERYONE SAYS DZIN DOBRE WHEN THEY ENTER A SHOP AND DOWIZANIA WHEN THEY LEAVE, SHOWS THERE ARE SOME REALLY GOOD MANNERS TAUGHT TO POLES WHEN THEY ARE KIDS AND IT SHOWS 

Sami Jan, Pakistan
