i'm sorry but, you are a typical american.. why do u only understand your way of life/thinking? if you REALLy can't tell, you are in a entirely different country and the only thing you can find to make a video is american things and then say poland (the entire country) LOVES americans.. i'm not going to go in depth in trying to explain it to you but, I swear, i thought someone was gonna bump into you on purpose or worse.

When I made this video, I was dealing with lots of cultural changes. Comparisons,Poland and America, what was popular seemed quite normal to me. From my 20some videos in Poland, I tried to find ways to show Polish culture, obviously from an American perspective. You say I only understand my way of life... I'll agree with that. Can you really say that you understand other cultures way of thinking? or that you could, after just a few months living there? It takes time, at least I was trying!

[zapasiewicz]

I don't know why You're stating that people in Poland love McDonalds. Well we use it like everybody in the Western world but there are 500 better restaurants in Wroclaw that I would rather choose than the MD. :)

And why don't You appreciate KFC? The food there is 5 times better than in the MD. :) (ofc still no cmparison to other restaurants in Ww).

Have you tried the food in Piramida? There are two of those 200 m from Rynek.

Btw. are You still living or will You be still living in Wroclaw?

[missjamierose]

Of course I know Pyramida, I like that they bring all those little sauces to your table. But KFC to me is the worst of the worst. We'll have to agree to disagree. I am in Wroclaw now, but only for a few more weeks...

[zapasiewicz]

All those american fast-foods are crap. However, I like the taste of KFC food.

Do You think of coming back to Wroclaw? :)

[missjamierose]

I don't know... I love it here, but teaching English is temporary. My friends and I are talking about coming back in 2012 for a reunion and to see how much Poland has changed with all of the upcoming changes...

[skalar1986]

in Wrocław now there is alsi Burger King, T.G.I Friday's, Pizza Hut and Starbucks as well

[CRACOVIA1515]

Most people in Poland don't even go out to eat. They just eat at home.

I am right because i live in Poland and never buying food in mc Donalds and KFC.

[pipo3a]

Well, let me say you are not right. Poland is a very americanized country, and McDolands is very popular, in fact, after the UK is probably the county in Europe where its most popular.

[major9]

Its not true that polish people likes mc Donalds . In Poland there is Mc donalds but most people never buying food there . MC Donalds foods is unhealthy .

Anyways, it's a pity that there aren't many more movies on Poland by foreigners... ;)

Hope to see you back here soon. A lot has changed since 2006 :P

[Arkanista]

The funniest thing is, that most of us really hate the idea of McDonald or KFC. It's junk food, and everybody knows that.

But... it's tasty... but I wouldn;t go as fas as to say Poles love it.

I find your video trully interesting. It's fun to see my country with the eyes and mentality of the foreigner. Gives a perspective.

I think you got a lot of misconceptions about Poland during your stay... Maybe if you had a fluent English-speaking guide to explain to you some cultural details.

besides, the mcdonalds there is amillion times better.. for one, they arent' some rude/trashy americans serving you, and 2.. american mcd's doesn't have fried banana's with chocolate dip..
