MY IMAGE OF POLAND

Visiting Poland has been an incredible experience. Poland and Catalonia are very different places with very different cultures and lifestyles. The weather is also quite different from here.
People there have a very simple life, without many possessions. They live in humil houses, most of them made of wood, with all their family. However, they are very familiar, close together and grateful and our Poland families were so nice and lovely with us.
Their culture is quite different. Polish people are more religious than Catalan people, they go to the church every time they can and they believe in church values, they are also very traditional and follow the catholic traditions, for example they eat fish instead of meat on Fridays. There is a lot of folklore, like the paper flowers or their typical dances which everybody knows.
The landscape in Poland is really beautiful , it’s like a huge green carpet, where the trees seemto touch the sky and you can feel a lot of peace and breath pure air.
In general Polish people eat a lot of soups with vegetables, meat, and drink a lot of tea. Unlike Mediterranean diet, in Poland they use butter instead of olive oil and they don’t eat much fruit or fish so we think that they don’t have a very healthy diet.
Their level in English isn’t very good but they try their best. We think their maths and chemistry classes were more interactive because they practice what they learn in the laboratory. They also have a higher level in those subjects.
Our Polish students were Magda and Basia, we have a very good memories of them and our stay in Poland was great.
Thank you for all :)

Queralt and Emma.
