Mateusz Gamrot says Poland is cleaner, safer, and more modern than USA

Mateusz Gamrot stated in a podcast that the more he travels, the more he appreciates Poland compared to the United States. He described Poland as clean, safe, and modern, despite its governmental and legal issues. Gamrot criticized American hospitality, saying he was invited to barbecues twice but would have gone hungry if he hadn't brought his own food, contrasting this with Polish culture where guests are well fed and cared for. He also noted that Americans are not as technologically advanced in everyday life as commonly believed, citing an example of portable payment terminals only recently arriving at US restaurants when Poland had them a decade earlier. Gamrot described American social interactions as superficial, sharing an anecdote about how people are caught off guard when given genuine responses instead of the expected "fine" reply. While acknowledging the USA has advantages for sports careers, he emphasized that life quality is not necessarily better there, noting that even his children prefer home in Poland despite being on vacation in Florida.
