Searching for Traditional Women in Poland I Interviewing Locals in Rzeszow, Poland

Do you guys speak French? Why? Pourquoi? We're from France. We're here for vacation. Are you guys Polish though? Or French originally? Polish originally. But you live in Paris. How do you know them? You just know everyone? They went here two years ago. They came back again. Really? And they recognize you. I guess it's hard not to recognize you. Cool. When I ask AI about this city, AI says that this is one of the most conservative cities in all of Europe and in Poland. What do you guys think about that? I think it is. It's true. When I say conservative, what comes to mind when I say that? It's a tough question. For me, that's a hard question too. I don't actually know what this means anymore. It's hard to even explain. I don't know. How can I explain? What would it mean for you? When I say conservative, is there anything that comes to mind? I'll make it a little bit easier. Religious attendance? Is everyone Catholic in this city? There are a lot of Catholic people here. Are your parents kind of Catholic? Yeah. I cannot say that it's really a Catholic place here. There are some people that are not Catholic and there are some that are Catholic. I guess it's not that Catholic as everyone thinks. Are you guys Catholic? I'm Catholic. Is it normal for young people to go to church on weekends? Totally not. I mean, it is normal. It is normal because maybe it's not that popular that everyone in our age are going to church every Sunday. Old people mostly. No. They can be Catholic but they are not practicing. They are not going to church or something but they believe in God. Do you guys go to university here? Actually, I'm going to high school here. You're in university or high school too? I'm in high school too. You guys look older. I was going to say you guys look around 20. How old do I look? You look like... 25? No, 24? That's a very nice compliment. I'm 28. That's actually nice. My watch tells me I'm 23. My whoop. I should start saying that. Maybe last question for you guys. When I walk around here, I feel super safe. It's weird because I've traveled to many places around Europe and I just think, why is Poland so safe? Poland is really safe, I guess also because of the political stuff. But I think people here also want to be safe here because there's not many places in Europe that you can feel that safe, for example, this time because it's... It's like 11, right? It's 12 almost. No, it's 11. Is it rare to see immigrants in the city? There's not many people tan-skinned like me. You probably don't see too many, I assume? I think in this place, in this town, in the city, not that many right now. But in Warsaw, for example, or in Krakow, you can find a lot of... In the big cities. But here also because we are near to Ukraine and there is a war or something. Maybe the last one, actually, I know I said it the last time, but I have friends, for example, that are... Like my best friend, his girlfriend is Russian and she says most of the young people in Russia want to leave Russia, they don't like it. Do you guys love your country? I love Poland, I want to live here, I want to stay here. You guys don't have a desire to leave? Actually, Poland is a really beautiful country and also, yeah, it's really safe. It's really safe here, but I think after my university I'm gonna leave. You do want to leave? Yeah, I want to leave because, you know, I want to share my future with music and stuff, so I would like to post music in another country or something. Yeah. Awesome, well, thank you guys. Thank you so much. Have a good one. Thank you. That was fun. Thank you. Yeah. What's up, guys? Uh, English? Uh, interview. Do you wanna, do you wanna have one? I was asking your friends. Sorry, sorry. Room, room, room. Are we gonna be on TikTok? Uh, YouTube. YouTube? Yeah, if you want to, you don't have to. Actually, I don't even have one yet, I just bought the camera. Okay, but why are you doing an interview? I travel around Europe and I just talk to local people. Okay, we can talk. Yeah, you wanna talk? Yeah, we can talk, we can talk. Alright, alright. So, I was asking your friend about, um, your country. So, like, when I walk around here, I feel so safe and it's almost like... Again, again, again. I just know English. I know, I know English. I, kurwa, rozumiem. Ja, dobra, okej. Again, again. I guess maybe your first one is, do you guys learn English in high school? Yes. You have your classes and everything. Yeah. Okay. Everywhere, you know, everyone is talking English. You're not doing so good, hey? In Polish, everyone is talking English, but, you know, everyone have a problem with some people talk about bad accent, you know? Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. My idea is just to... Your accent is not bad. I know. It's okay. I know, I am Siwan. I am Siwan. Siwan. Kurwa, jesteśmy Siwan. Serio? No. Tomaka, kurwa, nas wyszkoliła. Here's the next one. Next question. I was telling your friend, so when I ask AI, Czacipity, like, what is the most conservative city in Europe, in Poland? They say this city is one of the most. What do you guys think about that? Do you think that's true? Again, again. Again, yeah. Nie, bo ja rozumiem. Much to move. Dobra, again. So, when I ask AI, when I talk to AI, and I ask, um, what is the most conservative city in Europe or Poland? They say this city. Do you think that's true? Yeah, me too. Warsaw. Okay, gotcha. Why? Here's a different one. Are you guys all Catholic? Like, Catholic Christian? Is that, like, normal for you guys? Yeah, everyone in Poland is Catholic. But do you guys go to church or is it more your parents that go? For me, for me. I'm answering for me. For you? Your parents go? Yeah. For us, I'm, uh, I just quit. I don't know. I don't go. I sometimes go. I don't go to your church. Anyway, I'll let you guys go. It was fun. You guys are funny. Have a good night. Good job. Yeah, that's all good. Kacper. Kacper? Cool. Your name? Olga. Cool. And? Victoria. I'm Andreas. I'm from Canada, but I'm touring Europe right now, and, um, when I went on ChatGPT, it said that this city is one of the most conservative cities in Europe. What do you guys think about that? Well, actually, we don't live here, so... Oh, you don't live here? Where do you guys live? In Krosno. Okay. It's another city in Poland? Yeah. Okay. Generally, I guess... Is that close to here? Actually, maybe one hour. One hour? Not bad. Is it closer to Krakow or is it, like, further... Actually, I think... No. Closer to Bieszczady. Okay. Maybe, like, if we're... Right now, would it be north, east, south, or west on the map? I don't know. It doesn't matter. I guess, like, the point is, um... Would you say Poland in general is, like, pretty conservative and traditional, or... What do you guys think about that? I think... Well... Yeah. Okay. I've heard that this town is, like, very religious. Or, like, other cities in Poland are, like, very religious, but not... I guess with the young... Actually, I think every city in Poland are religious. Oh, really? Yeah. Do you guys go to, like, church? Are you guys, like, Christians? Like, consider yourself Christians? Or not really? No. Not you guys? No? You guys? Yeah? And you go, like, on weekends? Or, like, is it normal for... Oh, Sunday. Oh, really? Cool. Is it pretty normal to, like, go for young people to go? Not everyone, but there are some people who go to church and pray. You do, then? Yeah. Amazing. Very cool. When I walk around here, I feel that the city is super safe. Like, do you guys feel that, too, or no? Like, is it... I think Poland is a safe country. Yeah. Okay. So, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I feel very safe here, actually. Yeah. Okay. And when... I think... Is it uncommon to see people that are not from Poland in your country? Like, when you see me, kind of, walking around, is it kind of, like, rare? Or... Well, maybe... In our city, yes. Yeah? Okay. Yeah. Because we live in small... Even smaller than here? Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah. You're like... Yeah. Why'd you guys come here, then? Just to get away? Or... Well, that's for weekend, actually. Just for weekend? Yeah. Okay. Cool. Yeah. What... How big is your city? Like, how many... Does everyone kind of know each other in your city? Or... Actually, yeah. Not really, but... A lot of people know each other. Yeah. Okay. Very cool. When I google on ChattyBT and I ask about this city, it says it's one of the most conservative cities in Europe. What does that kind of mean for you guys? Do you guys agree with that? Or... Not really. No? No? Some people, yes, but... Well, I see you have the cross symbol. Is religion kind of a big thing here, or no? No, it's my special symbol. Oh, really? Yeah, I don't... It looks good, that's all. Okay, I hear you. I just like... It looks nice. Yeah, it looks nice. I had one, too. So, yeah. What's up, bro? I wish I could speak your language, my friend. Bro, where can you piss, you know? Oh, where can you piss? I have no idea. I'm not from here. Where are you guys from? We are from the village close to here. I'm from Germany, bro. Were you just going to the strip club? Bro, I'm from Germany, bro. You're from Germany? Where in Germany? Mannheim, bro. Where are you from? I'm from Canada. Canada? But Paraguay as well. Big country, big country. Big country, yeah. Right now, you know, I'm actually... Excuse me? I've seen a lot of people, bro. You guys are from different places, then? Nah, bro. We're not from the same place, but... We're from here, bro. That guy is crazy, right? Yeah. I'm recording for YouTube. I just do tours of cities. You want to be in it? You guys want to be in it? Just wait for the camera. Where are you from, bro? From Canada. You're from here? Yeah. How is the city? Do you like the city? First time here with my friends. But you grew up in the city, right? No, no, no. I'm from a rural town. 40 kilometers from here. Oh, nice, nice. By the train. First time here with my friends, but I've been a lot here with my parents. All you had when you were younger. How many... Let me get you in the frame here. I've been to Germany once. And you can see the difference. It's crazy. A lot less immigrants than in Germany. Maybe it's the reason. Let me ask you this. Is it rare for you to see someone like me? With tan skin? No, it's not really. In very big cities it's not that uncommon to see someone from abroad. Like USA or something. But to see immigrants, like people who stay here for a long time, that's rare. But tourists? It's a lot of normal. Is this considered a big city for you then? Yeah, it's like Poland. It's like... I don't know. It's like states in the United States. It has 16 of the so-called states. And this is the main city of our state. That's cool, man. Last question, because I know you guys gotta go here. No, we're not really gonna go. We're waiting for our friends. The guy who's gotta take a piss. Who wants to go to the strip club too. Is that a strip club? He was just checking it out. It's funny because it doesn't go with it. The city is so chill and then a strip club right there. Were you ever in Germany? I was in Cologne. In Frankfurt. My friends actually snuck out once to go to a strip club when we were all 16. Do you know Mannheim? Mannheim? Is that where you're from? Frankfurt. What it's called? I don't know what it's called. I'm curious though here for Poland. So this city or Poland in general is considered very conservative and traditional. When I say conservative and traditional what does that mean to you? Do you believe that? A lot of older people. More so like let's say religion. Do young people still go to the church? You can see a lot of less and less people in the church. Do you go? Yeah, I go. It can be seen that there are a lot of less people in the church. It's not that no one is coming but it's a lot less than when I remember when I was a child. He's got to go now. I was just interviewing your friends until you got back here. I do tours of Europe. Do you have a YouTube channel? It's actually my second. I was in Sweden two days ago so I was just doing my first video there. I haven't edited it yet. Then I'm going to go to Romania, Croatia. I don't have a name yet because I haven't made it yet. I'll add you on Instagram once I make it. I don't even have a TikTok. I got nothing. I just got my personal Instagram. I'll just put you in here. Once I edit it, maybe I'll... Let me add this guy. I'm a little bit drunk. I don't know, man. I do it as a hobby. I have my normal job. I do software. I'm in school right now. It's like equivalent of high school in the States. I don't know how it is in Canada. I'm in high school right now. You choose your profession when you go to high school. My profession is creating software. Cool, I'll let you guys go. I know you guys want to party. It was good to meet you guys. How long are you in Rzeszów? I'm here for two weeks and then I go to Krakow. Are you from here too? No, we are not from Rzeszów. We are from a village close to here. You're from the same village as him? Yeah, we are all from the same village. You said Germany though. No, I'm from Germany but I live in the same village as them. Thank you, I'm good. I need a train tomorrow morning. Where's the Z? Do you guys not use a Z here? Oh, there it is. Interesting. He was born in Poland. His parents moved out to Germany. Let me ask you then. Do you guys love your country? I love the country, not the people. They are not the same. Some people are really stupid. Wrong politics. Not the right. What would be the right one? Conservative? Like the one who doesn't let the immigrants come to the country. I don't let the wrong immigrants come to the country. The right ones can come and work a normal job. The wrong ones can't live for nothing. Let me ask you this then. When you say some people are voting in the wrong way, who's voting in the wrong way? The guys who are running for the left. Are they the left-wing party? Yeah, the left-wing party. This ---- is the wrong party. But they're not popular, right? I mean, it's 50-50. It's like the third place. You guys are doing well. Canada and the U.S. are doing well. But not the best. There are two main parties. There's the far-right. And it's not far-left. And the second one is not far-left, but low-key. Between. It's interesting that you guys are in high school, but you're already aware of this stuff. That's great. Keep defending that. Do you guys follow it on Instagram? I've been playing games, video games. Oh, so you're like all this woke stuff in my video games. Get it out of there. What are you playing? Me? Call of Duty. It's classic. I was an addict, but I tried not to. America, it's classic code. I know. League of Legends, Counter-Strike, Minecraft, low-key. Typical for Europe. About the politics, a lot of them can be like... You can get them from your family. Yes, good. Because a lot of dads, mainly it's because our dads are like far-right, conservative, and all that stuff. Because they had their parents go through ----. Because Poland is not like... Poland was a communist state. Your country was decimated. Maybe that's why. Well, keep fighting, young man. Keep fighting. When I go on ChattiBT and I ask ChattiBT about this city, it says it's one of the most conservative cities in Europe. What do you guys think about that? Do you think so or no? You don't think so? No? Okay. It's like the middle. You guys are from this city, all of you guys? You guys study here as well? Yes. Some of us don't live there, but we study there. What says most conservative and then most religious as well? Like, are you guys like Christians? Is that pretty hardcore over here or no? I think... I think most of our grandfathers and grandmothers are really previous generations. But not you guys? No. Most of us. When you guys see someone like me walking around that's like tan skin and you know I'm not from here, is that pretty rare? No, it's not pretty rare. Last night, we were talking with some black American guys. So you guys got a lot of immigrants. It's normal here. In September, when this is like a student town, does this just get super busy? I think it's always busy. It's always busy on the weekends. It's getting busy around cities, around the schools of students. There is a lot of places that they are just drinking and making fun of everything around those facilities. Gotcha. Last ones for you guys. I guess maybe first one, where are you guys going tonight? Are you guys partying tonight or you guys just walk around here? To be honest, it's just hanging out. Just chilling. I guess maybe last one. Would you say Polish people are proud Polish people? Do you guys have a lot of culture and tradition where you're proud to be Polish? I think most of the Polish people are proud of it.
