10 Weird Facts About Poland You Probably Didn’t Know [Video]
How Well Do You Know Poland?
As our site is oriented to while away the time in a fun & exciting (see what we have in our offer) way we’ll not tell you 10 boring facts about Poland. Before we even managed to collect 10 interesting or fun facts about Poland, a guy from Estonia, shot a video about 10 weird facts about our country and we thought you might as well want to know them as the seem quite funny and interesting.
Correction to Fact #10
Most of the facts are facts except for the number 10 when it comes to photo of our nation’s pride. Mariusz Pudzianowski – the strongest man in the world looks like in the photo above. Just by the way – he held the Strongest Man in the World title for 5 years. Thanks to his appearance in the contest he well presents himself advertising products that are strong & endure. No so long ago Mariusz Pudzianowski moved to MMA and had several spectacular fights.

Video transcript for those who prefer reading to watching
00:00
hello my friends my name is Arthur Ray
00:02
and I’m an Estonian youtuber today we
00:04
are going to talk about Poland
00:06
more specifically ten weird facts about
00:10
Poland now this is a series I’ve done
00:12
weird facts about Finland Latvia
00:14
Lithuania and now it’s Poland’s turn
00:17
without further introduction let’s get
00:20
right into it first fact Poland is one
00:22
of the most Roman Catholic countries in
00:24
the world but that’s not impressive or
00:27
impressive is that they have an entire
00:29
TV channel dedicated to the Pope wow
00:33
that’s crazy I wish I had my own TV
00:35
channel I shall become the next pope
00:38
then I will have my own TV channel write
00:41
in the comments if you would like me as
00:42
your Pope Poland second fact in Poland
00:45
there are things like name days we also
00:47
have them in Estonia but in Poland name
00:50
days are considered as important or more
00:53
important than birthdays in Estonia we
00:55
have name days but we don’t really
00:57
usually consider them very important if
00:59
it’s your name they just a it’s my name
01:02
day and everyone claps a little and then
01:03
it’s poof gone but in Poland is a little
01:05
bit different if it’s your name day it’s
01:07
kind of a big deal so if you want to go
01:10
to Poland first check out which day is
01:13
your name day and then go to Poland on
01:15
that day so you will get presents and
01:17
stuff first fact Polish people usually
01:20
come off as cold reserved miserable and
01:25
angry what these are all negative words
01:28
now before you go into that I know bear
01:30
in mind that I’m not saying they are
01:32
like that I’m saying they usually come
01:34
off the Western people like that
01:36
I am from Estonia which is more north
01:37
than eastern Poland and I am the Krampus
01:40
person in the world they don’t want to
01:42
talk to anyone and I don’t smile to
01:44
anyone when they come up to me in the
01:46
street so Eastern European people and
01:48
Poland people might tend to be like that
01:51
that doesn’t mean that Polish people are
01:53
not happy or capable of positive
01:55
emotions no they really do have all that
01:59
joy and everything in them but they’re
02:01
more reserved than your typical American
02:03
Polish people only show their emotions
02:06
to their closest people to their most
02:08
intimate situations and
02:10
also only in honest situations if they
02:13
really don’t care how are you they’re
02:15
not gonna ask how are you they’re just
02:17
gonna krump and do and go away fact
02:20
number four the largest section in a
02:23
grocery store tends to be the candy
02:25
section this is actually surprising
02:29
because vodka is invented by poles or by
02:32
Russians we still don’t know it’s one of
02:34
those two but in Russia the biggest
02:36
section is a vodka section but in Poland
02:38
the candy section I kind of do want
02:41
candy now maybe send me some candy and I
02:44
would like to taste it and I can make a
02:46
separate video of Polish candy fact
02:48
number five 94% of Polish population is
02:51
Polish that makes the country one of the
02:54
most homogeneous countries in the world
02:56
meaning that it’s one of the few
02:58
countries that the native population
03:00
makes out the almost hundred percent of
03:03
the total population you go Poland but
03:06
the dark side of that fact is that it is
03:08
nowadays like that because of Nazis back
03:11
in the 30s and 40s Nazi state ethnic
03:14
cleansing not killing only poles but
03:17
also gypsies black people and Jews who
03:20
are known to be not ethnically Polish
03:23
and now you have all these Polish people
03:25
in Poland and not very many other people
03:27
because Nazis killed them all off yay
03:30
fact number six polish language is one
03:33
of the most difficult languages in the
03:34
world
03:35
some would say the most difficult
03:37
language in the world it sounds like a
03:39
mix of Russian and some western language
03:42
I don’t know which one also they have
03:44
some few words that are similar to
03:46
Russian with Russian word roots but they
03:49
used Western alphabet which makes it
03:51
even more confusing facts number seven
03:54
as I mentioned vodka comes from Poland
03:57
or Russia we don’t know let’s say it’s
03:59
Poland all right what comes from Poland
04:02
although they do not drink that much
04:04
alcohol no no if you go crazy on me
04:06
poles and you will drink a lot then look
04:09
at the statistics first in Europe or
04:11
Finland Russia Estonia and Latvia
04:15
Lithuania those very very East East East
04:18
European countries and Poland is
04:20
somewhere ten
04:21
to 15th place so polls don’t really
04:24
drink that much
04:25
[Music]
04:28
Oh
04:33
[Applause]
04:35
fact number 8 Poland has a very dark and
04:39
bloody history much like Estonia where I
04:41
come from Poland has been occupied
04:43
numerous times Poland has fought for
04:46
freedom in different forms 43 times from
04:50
1600s to 1945 43 times most of the
04:54
countries have one or two fights for
04:56
independence remember this Poland us
04:58
done this 43 times it’s a lot of times
05:02
to remember it 43 different days for
05:04
independence I know it doesn’t work
05:06
exactly like that but still the number
05:08
is huge fuck number 9 the most popular
05:11
dog name in Poland this Perec or poo
05:13
deck I’ve novice pronounce this right to
05:16
