[French] - Hi to all the Language Tsar viewers! We are in Krakow. We are going to make something special.
We are going to get some interesting shots both in the center and
the Jewish quarter to show you the mainstream side of Krakow and then
we are going to bring you to the dark side. Strap yourself in for this one! 'Till later!
[English] - So welcome to Poland ... super pumped to be here ...
gonna be hitting Krakow in eastern Poland for the
first time in almost a decade that I've been here. Gonna hook up on my friend
Rémy and we're gonna celebrate New Year's Eve here. Unfortunately this is
gonna be the first video in a while where I will not have any drone footage
because yeah yesterday I had a little incident with my drone. My drone is a little bit sick.
I was chasing my father's Renault Alpine and yeah it hit
what looks like an electrical pole. I'm gonna see what the damage is. All four
propellers are broken for sure it looks cracked in a few places.
[French] - Hi! Where are we going now? - We are going to the most hipster quarter of Krakow.
You are going to see that we are going to eat deliciously.
The riskiest thing that I've ever done all year
is to go to an open bar party with Conor, the Irish guy.
We are going to go to the city center of Krakow to the central square.
There will be a massive amount of people on the main square for the final seconds of 2017.
We are going to show you what it's like. It will be interesting. See you!
[English] - What's your name, by the way? I didn't ask you yet. - Helen - Cool. Nice to meet you here.
- So we are here just in the middle of Krakow on the main square.
- What's the name of the square in Polish? - Rynek ... Rynek Główny.
- It's kind of like Market Square or something? - Yes, exactly, market square.
- How do you feel being from Krakow? It's know for being one of the most beautiful cities in Europe.
- Yes, it is. It is really beautiful and in my opinion it's much more beautiful than Warsaw is, which is
the capital city. - 100% I can confirm that.
- I mean it's very touristic right here so ...
you won't find many people from Krakow that are like going here every day.
- So Krakow, it's got a population of 750 thousand people. It's definitely the most
famous city here in Poland and right now we're in Kazimierz or 'Kazimierz' as
I've been mispronouncing for the last two or three days that I've been here
and this is the historic Jewish quarter of the city. Now you probably might
recognize a lot of this from Hollywood blockbusters like Schindler's List. That
was actually filmed here in Krakow to a certain extent and of course Schindler
was based here the factory and they actually have a factory Museum here for that.
So here in Kazimierz is really really nice it's kind of a trendy area
just away from the historic center and it has been renovated in the last decade
and it's kind of pretty cool. There are lots of cafes, bars, restaurants here so it's kind
of a hip area to hang out in in the evening as well as the day and I
remember it here in 2009, it was not nearly as nice so definitely thumbs up
on the renovations that have been done here in the last decade
[French] - Asshole! - How do you feel after your defeat?
- Shut up, asshole! I let you win on purpose!
[English] - So I've tried to repair my drone myself a little bit by putting on four new
mounts and buying new four propellers but not really sure it's gonna work so
there's only one way to find out!
- So this behind me here is Wawel castle and that's one of the highlights of Krakow.
One of the kind of picturesque postcard pics you'll get is of this castle so
it's quite beautiful. So let's go and take a look at it from a little bit higher up.
So here I'm back on the main square in Krakow during the day as you can see and
it is quite a beautiful view. So yeah this is why so many people are attracted
to come here to Krakow, as you can see one of the most beautiful cities in
Eastern Europe, very similar to Lviv in Ukraine - similar history overlapping so
the architecture but here is probably yeah probably just a tad bit more beautiful
but with about 10 times as many tourists so you can always decide which you prefer.
So that's it for me here in beautiful Krakow in Poland. Next up is going to be
Lviv in Ukraine, going there for two weeks to work on my Ukrainian a bit. I did
that about a year ago so super pumped to be going back to western Ukraine, another
beautiful city: Lviv, very similar to here in Krakow so if you liked this
video, give it a big thumbs up! Whack that notification bell right
beside the subscribe button and I will see you in the next video!
