hey this is MatSan

and welcome to our culture section

what are we going to talk about today?

we're going to talk about some

number one

Taiwan is not China

I knew it's gonna be the first one

why? Sansan

it's not about politics

it's more about...geographically

Taiwan is a separated island

we have our own government

our own president

our own economical system

social system as well

let's not talk about politics,

Taiwan is just a separate island

next to China yea

the second point

Taiwan is not Thailand

I think it's also because of

Polish

because of the language

so Taiwan, in Polish is

Tajwan

and Thailand in Polish is

Tajlandia

so every time when I say

I would say

in Poland

people can misunderstand

Taiwan and Vietnam

because

in Polish is Tajwan and Wietnam

sounds pretty similar, right?

not right

for me it's different

please

and the third thing

people are asking me

what kind of language does Taiwanese speak?

Taiwan...ese?

Chinese

we speak Chinese

Mandarin Chinese

thank you

the differences of Traditional/ Mandarin

and simplified Chinese is

about writing

writing looks different

but about speaking

you can communicate with Chinese

we can say

it's more like British English & American English

about Poland

which I really see this often

Poland does not have Polar bear

I just don't understand this really

why Polar bear?

but

there was an interesting story

before I came to Poland

and I was asking him

is there any Pull & Bear in Poland?

but Pull & Bear is a brand

a clothes brand

PULL & BEAR

and he was so...

angry, like: oh my God

why Polar bear

even she's asking me about that?

and he was like

you know, it's lots of people's misunderstanding

but Poland actually doesn't have any Polar bear

and Sansan was like, what's going on?!

I'm just asking about Pull&Bear not Polar bear

am I that dumb in your mind?

no

you're not

but we have brown bears

they only love in Tatra mountain

in mountains

which is at the south side of Poland

and it's only like few of them

it's rare

about Europe...

Romania is well known about brown bears

other than that...

well

Poland doesn't have Polar bear

so my friends

don't keep asking me

are you going to see some bears in the forests in Poland?

no

no my friends

I'm from United States!

this appears more about Taiwanese I think

Poland is not Portland

I know it sounds similar

but come on, Portland is a city

and Poland is a country

people are asking me like:

oh Sansan

how's your life in Portland?

Poland

and they're still like

whatever, Portland? Poland?

Jesus, for some people

even Poland & Holland

is pretty much the same

Taiwanese doesn't eat dog

yea yea

this is so often

especially here in Poland

people think that

all the Asian eat dogs

who eat dog in this age?

ok sorry

I know

Vietnamese

according to my friend

Vietnamese they eat dogs

Korean

probably still...?

some parts of China maybe

parts of China

not generally, but I'm not sure

but definitely not Taiwan

dogs are our best friends

and it's very popular to have dog as your pet

so we don't eat dog

because it was Easter

and I was just reading the menu

from Biedronka, like the supermarket

menu

and I was like

oh this looks good, it's cheap

but what's this shape?

and then

it's a rabbit!

and especially

it's super normal for me in here

you can actually buy rabbits

in a very small corner shop

and because of Easter

we put lots of cute rabbits in the commercial

and they're moving, chewing

and then you can just buy it and eat it

no

no no no

we shouldn't eat rabbit

you know

well we eat turtles

yea they eat turtles

and I had a turtle as my pet...

we eat crabs

they eat crab

and I had crab as my pet as well...

Poland is not a cold place

I mean, really

believe me or not

Poland is not a cold place

in winter it's very, very cold

especially for people who is from the hot countries

but

if it's about (summer) holiday times

it's super warm sometimes

really warm

30 degree, 30 something even

so I would rather say

Poland is like this

very extreme, winter is very cold

summer is very warm

but for sure

if you're going to Poland

especially on holidays

don't take a very huge jacket

to protect yourself

no, it's not really cold in holidays

not every Asian is from Japan

okay?!

every time

when people meet me at the first time

they're asking me

oh you're from Taiwan

Asia

so do you know Japanese?

I don't!

or even in the bus

on the street

we can hear people

from far distance saying:

Japanese!

or some people is like:

hello! hello! (in Japanese)

there was a guy in Łódź

saying that to you every time

we're living in the same district

it's a teenager, I don't know him

but every time he saw me

he's like: Hello! in Japanese

and I'm like

not Japanese (in Polish)

like, I'm not Japanese

I'm Taiwanese

Polish don't speak Russian

really, Polish don't speak Russian

just don't understand this wrong

we speak Polish

I'm from Poland, I speak Polish

People from Russia they speak Russian

I don't even know Russian

I know Hello (in Russian)

because it's reversed of Hello in Polish

and I can count to 10 in Russian

that's all I can

is it like

(as Polish) it is easier to understand, to learn Russian?

for us

I would say yes

but

not about writing

because they've got different writing

they don't use the English letters

Roman letters

we do

Russian don't

lots of people from Asia

as I heard from you

they think that

all the Caucasian are very tall

like, all of us

including girls

what I have to say

in Poland

you would be very surprise

that lots of girls especially

are very small

lots of them are smaller than me

I'm 162cm

and they are mostly like

155cm

something like this

really

very very tiny

I mean, nothing offensive

it's cute!

very nice

I'm just saying that

don't think

that everyone here is so huge

guys are

how tall are you?

182cm

182?

no 184cm

184...

I'm pretty tall

but it's not really super huge in here

people are even like 190cm, or more sometimes

I'm usually hanging out with he and his friends

and they're all super tall

over 180cm

so I feel so tiny

like I'm walking with a bunch of forest

like trees

I think that's pretty much it

we can make more of this topic
