Opinion about Polish lifestyle: do you like? Strengths and weakness [8]
Ciao.
I am not from Poland either. I was born in Brooklyn, New York, USA. My parents both immigrated to New York in the 90's and I was shortly born after ( 1996.) I have always loved going to Poland for summer vacation and I thank my parents for teaching me Polish before English.
Anyways, from my observations on my trip this year ( summer of 2012) I would have to agree with you on most of your opinion. The biggest difference for me between Poland ( more specifically Bialystok) and NYC is that people in Poland generally are apathetic towards clothing style and brands. In Poland it really does not matter what type of brand of clothing you where or how much your shoes cost while in NYC people even sometimes care about what type of undershirt or underwear you are wearing lol.
I agree with you on them not drinking still water. I drink maybe around 2 liters of still water per day, and my friends and family thought it was weird. There is of course both healthy and not healthy food in Poland, just as in every other culture and country. There is also good and bad music, like in every country.
Are there many Italians that visit/live in Poland? I'm guessing that some of the people who came for the Euros will come back next summer. I am quite fond of Italian culture, actually. I grew up and live in an area that is about 70-80% Italian ( American.) Growing up, I loved going to Italian restaurants and eating all the different types of pizza ( fresh mozzarella and Sicilian squares being my favorite) and Italian bakeries make some of the best cookies I have ever eaten. I hope to one day in the future to make a trip to Italy; from what I hear from my friends, it is beautiful.
