From Miami to Warsaw: A Polish Expat's Surprising Return

From American Dream to Polish Reality: One Woman's Unexpected Return. A recent video by Klaudia Tuğul, a Polish woman who recently returned to Poland after living in the US, has highlighted some surprising cultural differences. "Returning to Poland has been a shock," Tuğul said in her video. She points out that paying for water in restaurants is a common practice in Poland, unlike in the US. "I had to pay 6-8 zlotys for a small bottle of water," she explains. Another unexpected aspect was the noise pollution. "Someone was shouting political slogans outside my window at 3 AM," she said. Finally, she noted the inconvenience of shops being closed on Sundays. While these are minor inconveniences, they illustrate the differences in cultural norms and expectations between the US and Poland. Tuğul's video has sparked a discussion about these differences online. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly small details can create a significant cultural contrast.
