00:00:26.217 --> 00:00:29.617
Dobra, ja mam dla ciebie dzisiaj dosyć ciekawy temat.

00:00:30.317 --> 00:00:33.897
I really wanted to talk about this today, so I'm going to be a little better,

00:00:34.037 --> 00:00:36.597
but I'm going to be a little better, I'm going to be a little better,

00:00:37.037 --> 00:00:39.317
I'm going to be a little more interesting, okay?

00:00:39.597 --> 00:00:48.757
Okay, I'm going to be a question, because I know you already a little bit,

00:00:48.757 --> 00:00:53.617
but I don't know where you live in Lodz. W-w-w-Wodz.

00:00:55.117 --> 00:00:58.277
Okay, Łodzi. A ja byłam kiedyś w Łodzi, wiesz?

00:00:58.537 --> 00:01:03.837
A gdzie dokładnie? Znaczy, nie musisz dawać adresu tutaj publicznie, ale jaka część Łodzi?

00:01:04.637 --> 00:01:12.237
I was widze. Widze, widze w Łodzi. It's like nowy, solny. To jest żywne, how would I say?

00:01:12.377 --> 00:01:14.877
It's junction. It's like ocean, tak?

00:01:15.637 --> 00:01:19.577
Cross. A nie mam świat. There's no lamp, nie ma ronda.

00:01:20.097 --> 00:01:24.017
A, nie ma, tak? Yes, it's like it always falls, yes?

00:01:24.157 --> 00:01:28.337
I remember the team of the rugby club in Lidze w Łódź, yes?

00:01:28.837 --> 00:01:35.817
Yes, yes, I was about 15-20 years old in Lidze w Łódź. Ah, in Lidze w Łódź.

00:01:36.117 --> 00:01:40.697
Well, I lived close to Łódź, so... Yes, yes.

00:01:41.077 --> 00:01:43.977
Łódź is known for me, Toczkowska. Yes.

00:01:44.557 --> 00:01:48.277
Okay, so you live in the city, it's a city.

00:01:50.757 --> 00:01:56.157
How do you think or how do you think, if Łódź is a big city or a small city?

00:01:56.717 --> 00:01:59.937
It's Polish. It's a lot of information.

00:02:01.557 --> 00:02:06.757
Sometimes it's a second city, and sometimes it's a fourth city.

00:02:07.597 --> 00:02:15.697
So it depends on when you look, but it's one of the top three,

00:02:15.877 --> 00:02:17.977
the first, the third. OK.

00:02:19.477 --> 00:02:25.237
Tell me, did you always live in Łodzi? Where did you live before?

00:02:26.097 --> 00:02:28.217
Ireland, Cork, Ireland.

00:02:29.217 --> 00:02:40.797
So I live in Ireland, I live in Cork, so it's a new city in the morning, and I have a close city,

00:02:41.737 --> 00:02:46.417
and I am 18 years here.

00:02:46.777 --> 00:02:52.177
First I live on block, on the block, on the Piotrkowska, Manhattan.

00:02:52.757 --> 00:02:57.677
It is a high-end living on Piotrkowska. The second is a kosher.

00:02:58.137 --> 00:03:03.357
And then I have a commercial in New York.

00:03:03.857 --> 00:03:07.757
And now I have a home very private

00:03:07.757 --> 00:03:17.077
and it's blisko kilka sklep and restauracja ale it's chico też so ja mogę na

00:03:17.077 --> 00:03:24.057
spasor na viaż tak aha dobra czyli mieszkałeś w Irlandii teraz mieszkałeś w

00:03:24.057 --> 00:03:27.697
Polsce no to zmiana zmiana tak dobra.

00:03:28.747 --> 00:03:35.287
Where do you want to live? Today we will talk about the contrast between the city and the city.

00:03:36.067 --> 00:03:39.687
Like a small place, in which you can live.

00:03:40.087 --> 00:03:45.247
So without a store, without a restaurant, without... In general, nothing like that.

00:03:45.727 --> 00:03:50.207
Like a typical city. Tell me, were you when you were in a typical Polish town?

00:03:51.107 --> 00:03:58.507
I have a village on the river. Yes, it is. Okay, I know what it is.

00:03:58.707 --> 00:04:03.907
Tell me, do you like to live in the city or in the village?

00:04:04.127 --> 00:04:06.507
Why? In the village.

00:04:07.927 --> 00:04:13.767
For people. For people. I really like nature.

00:04:15.027 --> 00:04:16.447
Nature, yes. Yes.

00:04:18.687 --> 00:04:28.827
Many people, sometimes it is okay, but for me, my time is the same.

00:04:30.787 --> 00:04:34.727
The smaller cars are better. Look at the dogs.

00:04:35.387 --> 00:04:40.647
Look at the dogs. Yes, the dogs. Yes, the dogs. Yes. Okay.

00:04:43.447 --> 00:04:46.967
When you lived in Ireland, was it a place?

00:04:47.327 --> 00:04:51.567
Or something like that? It was a place, but it was not a block,

00:04:51.707 --> 00:04:54.287
it was a home. It was a home too.

00:04:55.667 --> 00:05:01.267
Okay, tell me, what are the pluses in living in the city?

00:05:02.487 --> 00:05:05.607
What are the pluses in living in the city?

00:05:05.847 --> 00:05:11.327
What is the best in living in the city? We are talking about Lodz, right?

00:05:11.647 --> 00:05:17.947
Yes, maybe there is always something to do, right? You are close to a large restauration.

00:05:18.907 --> 00:05:22.067
In the center, you may meet a friend.

00:05:22.747 --> 00:05:27.647
It doesn't matter where he lives, he goes to the center.

00:05:27.867 --> 00:05:32.587
You know, very rarely. I think that's true.

00:05:34.067 --> 00:05:40.867
And sometimes when he lives in the high ground, the view is beautiful.

00:05:41.607 --> 00:05:45.927
The view is beautiful. The view is beautiful, yes.

00:05:46.347 --> 00:05:50.067
Now, what does it bother you in Łodzi?

00:05:50.647 --> 00:05:53.987
What does it bother you? The office.

00:05:56.107 --> 00:06:03.287
I think it's not only in Łodzi. Yes, yes, yes. There are many closed streets, people work sometimes.

00:06:04.067 --> 00:06:05.967
There are many doors on the street.

00:06:07.307 --> 00:06:10.807
They say that Łódź is the worst city.

00:06:12.408 --> 00:06:18.368
So, with the worst road in Poland. So many people are asking for it.

00:06:19.248 --> 00:06:23.928
And it doesn't like it. It's just in the middle of Lodz. There's a problem with these roads.

00:06:24.788 --> 00:06:30.208
Okay, tell me, I know how it looks like nocly life in Lodz.

00:06:30.388 --> 00:06:33.148
But tell me, how it looks like nocly life?

00:06:33.408 --> 00:06:38.808
Nocly life means you leave, some clubs, some places where you can put it,

00:06:38.808 --> 00:06:43.188
weekend, ale w tygodniu też nocne życie, tak zwane.

00:06:44.068 --> 00:06:48.988
Na miasto żyje. It lives, Zach, there's like dużo ludzi, and na Piotrkowska

00:06:48.988 --> 00:06:50.468
there's like dużo pop club.

00:06:50.828 --> 00:06:54.008
Nie tylko na weekend, ale po student.

00:06:54.708 --> 00:07:00.708
Może poniedziałek, nieważne, tak? Tak, student. Ale Roy, ty nie jesteś już studentem.

00:07:01.648 --> 00:07:05.348
Nie. Jestem. Jestem nie dawno temu.

00:07:06.448 --> 00:07:10.388
Tak, czyli jest nocne życie, Great. A tell me in the meantime,

00:07:11.088 --> 00:07:15.728
how do you think is it easy to meet people or, I mean, it is easy to meet people

00:07:15.728 --> 00:07:18.828
or, I mean, it is easy to meet people?

00:07:18.948 --> 00:07:19.968
How do you think?

00:07:20.988 --> 00:07:26.688
No, I mean. Yes, I mean. Yes, I mean. Yes, I mean. Yes, I mean. Yes, I mean. Yes, I mean.

00:07:27.248 --> 00:07:34.528
If you're talking about transport in Lodz, do you like communication or car?

00:07:35.228 --> 00:07:38.248
How better? For me always car.

00:07:38.728 --> 00:07:45.528
I think I lived on tramway two or three times since 18 years,

00:07:45.708 --> 00:07:48.788
and the bus also always car.

00:07:50.148 --> 00:07:56.688
So, you know, it's not really good. You can travel faster.

00:07:57.288 --> 00:08:02.128
But sometimes when there is a lot of movement and a lot of cars,

00:08:02.308 --> 00:08:05.528
it's also not good, right?

00:08:06.068 --> 00:08:12.728
It depends on how many hours it is. Yes, I just went to the direction of the

00:08:12.728 --> 00:08:17.048
street, so that's what it is. So, in the morning and at the 17th,

00:08:17.348 --> 00:08:18.568
when people come from work.

00:08:18.828 --> 00:08:21.468
So, in the morning, all the people go to the street.

00:08:22.028 --> 00:08:25.528
My son is in the middle of the school.

00:08:25.948 --> 00:08:32.708
It is near Piotrkowska. And from the morning, from the 9.30,

00:08:32.708 --> 00:08:37.988
So, a little bit change, and at the end, at 15.15,

00:08:38.688 --> 00:08:41.388
or 14.30,

00:08:42.208 --> 00:08:46.008
it's a very big city, so it's a good time for me.

00:08:46.288 --> 00:08:49.928
To are the minuses of the city, right? To are the minuses of the city.

00:08:50.568 --> 00:08:55.548
Okay, so we talked about the city, so let's go to the village.

00:08:56.368 --> 00:09:00.948
Let's go to the village. I'll tell you for contrast, because you said you live

00:09:00.948 --> 00:09:07.688
in Irlandia, In the city, so you all lived in the city, so you never lived in the city.

00:09:09.411 --> 00:09:14.031
No. To ja ci powiem, że mieszkałam na wsi. Tak, mieszkałam na wsi,

00:09:14.131 --> 00:09:17.831
więc tutaj ja mogę się wypowiedzieć raczej, szybciej, tak? No dobra,

00:09:18.051 --> 00:09:19.191
ale ja chcę posłuchać Cedia.

00:09:19.611 --> 00:09:24.251
Powiedz mi, co może być fajnego w mieszkaniu na wsi?

00:09:24.711 --> 00:09:27.351
Czyli tak zwane po prostu plusy życia na wsi.

00:09:27.991 --> 00:09:31.431
Pamiętaj, że to jest wieś, tam nie ma nic. A zami jest dobra.

00:09:32.671 --> 00:09:38.851
Ciko, ciko. Tak, może lezi na twoje działkę, tak? No, I'm not sure.

00:09:39.911 --> 00:09:45.291
Maybe you read the book, you don't listen to the car, or people, or people.

00:09:46.471 --> 00:09:50.331
And the nature is very good for you, right? Okay.

00:09:51.231 --> 00:09:54.451
Tell me, what can be minuses in the city?

00:09:55.011 --> 00:09:59.351
Because you have some minuses. For example, when you have a chance to pick up a pizza or a chiun.

00:10:00.011 --> 00:10:08.691
You can sell it, because... I can't believe it. that no one doesn't have a pizza,

00:10:08.991 --> 00:10:10.411
no one doesn't have anything to buy.

00:10:10.431 --> 00:10:17.591
If you want to buy something or buy something, you have to go to a place to

00:10:17.591 --> 00:10:19.871
buy something else and buy something or buy something.

00:10:21.671 --> 00:10:29.131
Because it's far away. Sometimes, I'm in Poland, there are some people who are

00:10:29.131 --> 00:10:31.031
totally without transport.

00:10:31.371 --> 00:10:35.691
There is no bus, there is nothing, there is only a car. If someone doesn't have

00:10:35.691 --> 00:10:39.891
a car, he can have a car. If he doesn't have a car, he can have nothing.

00:10:40.271 --> 00:10:43.951
So, life in the city can be difficult. It's easy to do transport.

00:10:46.071 --> 00:10:51.031
When you are young or something, but when you are stary, and you can't have

00:10:51.031 --> 00:10:54.311
a car or a car, it will be later.

00:10:54.811 --> 00:11:02.131
If you take it from the city, it will be very difficult, when you are very stary. Mhm, tak.

00:11:02.491 --> 00:11:07.611
Ale mimo wszystko ludzie mieszkają na wsi. Dużo osób, tak? W sensie jest taki balans.

00:11:07.771 --> 00:11:11.611
Część mieszka w mieście, część mieszka na wsi. Jest nam dużo ludzi,

00:11:11.791 --> 00:11:15.131
którzy mieszkają na wsi i są szczęśliwi, są szczęśliwi.

00:11:15.491 --> 00:11:20.031
I co więcej, mówią, że nie chcieliby mieszkać w mieście. Ale o tym zaraz porozmawiamy.

00:11:20.531 --> 00:11:27.511
To powiedz mi, jeśli chodzi o ludzi, to czy uważasz, że ludzie na wsi są może

00:11:27.511 --> 00:11:29.931
bardziej otwarci, tacy bardziej, wiesz,

00:11:30.311 --> 00:11:36.571
mili niż ludzie w mieście, no i też, że ludzie na wsi znają się.

00:11:36.931 --> 00:11:38.871
No, jeśli byś jest mała, to wszyscy się znają.

00:11:39.451 --> 00:11:42.291
Jak myślisz? Tak, normalnie.

00:11:43.031 --> 00:11:49.171
Wiesz wszystko o ciebie, tak? To jest plus i my, że czasami nie chcą i tylko

00:11:49.171 --> 00:11:51.791
chcą, w ogóle je znaje dla wszystko, tak?

00:11:52.511 --> 00:11:57.971
Też może, kiedy jesteś na przykład chory, sąsiad będzie pomóc.

00:11:58.816 --> 00:12:04.796
Mhm, tak, dobra. No to tak, rozmawialiśmy sobie o rozrywce w mieście, tak?

00:12:05.356 --> 00:12:10.756
Nocne życie, tak? Czyli powiedziałeś, że są kluby, są puby, są bary,

00:12:11.116 --> 00:12:14.096
są restauracje, jest bardzo dużo miastu, żyje.

00:12:14.316 --> 00:12:17.276
No to teraz takie pytanie, a czy wieś żyje?

00:12:19.116 --> 00:12:28.596
Sometimes there is a local pub for a group, but it's better to drink wine or whiskey in the house.

00:12:28.836 --> 00:12:33.156
In the house, it's not to drink at home, you need to drink at home, right? No, no, no.

00:12:34.456 --> 00:12:41.236
Okay, tell me in a minute, how do you think, where is it safe in the city or

00:12:41.236 --> 00:12:43.476
in the house? Where can you feel safe?

00:12:45.236 --> 00:12:49.256
In the house for me. Na wsi, czyli mimo wszystko na wsi, tak?

00:12:50.016 --> 00:12:56.636
Tak, dobra. A powiedz mi, jeśli chodzi o hałas, tak, samochody,

00:12:56.976 --> 00:13:01.296
autobusy, tak, dużo hałasu, boli głowa, to powiedz mi,

00:13:01.756 --> 00:13:09.516
wolisz hałas w mieście czy nudę na wsi, gdzie nie ma nic i nie wiesz co robić?

00:13:10.756 --> 00:13:16.676
Always, because there is always something to do. You can read a book or learn something.

00:13:17.036 --> 00:13:20.736
Maybe you can learn a language, Spanish, something. There is always something.

00:13:21.256 --> 00:13:27.636
I think that's what I do. You know, if I learn something, I learn something. Please.

00:13:29.396 --> 00:13:34.376
Okay. Okay. Now we have to... Okay.

00:13:35.076 --> 00:13:42.996
A powiedz mi, w takim razie, gdybyś teraz miał kupić dom, tak,

00:13:43.576 --> 00:13:46.516
to kupiłbyś go w mieście, czy właśnie na wsi?

00:13:46.996 --> 00:13:54.836
Na Hiszpanii obok plaży. W Hiszpanii obok plaży. Ok. Wiesz, to podobnie do mnie.

00:13:55.456 --> 00:14:02.836
Dobra. Ok. A w takim razie w Hiszpanii obok plaży, no tak. Okay,

00:14:02.956 --> 00:14:03.936
but we're talking about Poland.

00:14:04.536 --> 00:14:09.956
But tell me, I'm interested in one thing. Do you think you eat in the village

00:14:09.956 --> 00:14:12.896
is better than in the village? In the sense of food?

00:14:13.196 --> 00:14:15.096
Maybe you eat healthy food?

00:14:15.983 --> 00:14:22.423
Well, chyba tak, bo jest świeże, tak chodne jajka. Oczywiście.

00:14:23.403 --> 00:14:30.143
Tak, bo ja kupię wszystko, ziemnaki jajka od rolnika blisko.

00:14:30.223 --> 00:14:32.463
Od rolnika, tak. Od rolnika blisko.

00:14:32.823 --> 00:14:37.743
Na miasto nigdy wie, bo czasami jest wszystko zna zysk, profit,

00:14:37.903 --> 00:14:46.103
tak, zarabia, to jest jajka numer 3, nie zdrowa, to jest mięso that the antibiotics are not healthy,

00:14:46.843 --> 00:14:50.583
but sometimes there is a good restructuring, there are good ingredients,

00:14:50.743 --> 00:14:53.823
which you must know. I think everything is fine.

00:14:54.763 --> 00:15:03.823
Yes, good. And if you had to go to the end, just after analyzing these pluses,

00:15:03.903 --> 00:15:09.563
these minuses, if you had to go to the end, what would you have to go to the place?

00:15:11.463 --> 00:15:15.643
What would you have to go? Weeś. Weeś, czyli definitywnie weeś.

00:15:16.043 --> 00:15:19.423
Definitywnie weeś, chociaż mieszkasz w mieście. Bardzo ciekawe.

00:15:19.663 --> 00:15:23.483
Ja na odwrót mieszkałam na wsi i mówię, że wolę miast w Dudań.

00:15:24.243 --> 00:15:30.503
Więc chyba to jest jakaś wydaje mi się zasalo, że jak ktoś mieszkał na wsi, to nie chce tam wracać.

00:15:31.703 --> 00:15:37.743
Ale tak. No dobra, Roj. Więc tak, wolisz w wieś. Nie ciwię się.

00:15:38.463 --> 00:15:44.483
Faktycznie, czasem fajnie is to escape from the chaos in the city and to actually

00:15:44.483 --> 00:15:48.623
relax in the village or in the beach in Hispanii.

00:15:48.863 --> 00:15:51.743
In the village or in the beach in Hispanii.

00:15:52.363 --> 00:15:57.343
Roy, thank you very much. I've learned everything, what I wanted to know about

00:15:57.343 --> 00:16:02.063
this topic, so thank you very much for the conversation and have a great time.

00:16:10.283 --> 00:16:15.823
Spanish, so for instance, do I in Spanish? Gracias, gracias. De nada, de nada.

00:16:17.103 --> 00:16:20.863

And as mentioned, I've just started a school for podcasters.

00:16:26.343 --> 00:16:29.823
