Gamrot praises Poland over US, criticizes American hospitality and technology lag

Mateusz Gamrot shared extensive thoughts comparing Poland favorably to the United States across multiple dimensions including cleanliness, safety, hospitality, and certain aspects of technological adoption. He cited examples of Poland having contactless payment terminals a decade before some American restaurants adopted them, and criticized superficial American social interactions. Gamrot recounted bringing his own food to American barbecues or risking going hungry, contrasting this with Polish hospitality traditions. He described an incident where his genuine response to "How are you?" confused an American accustomed to superficial exchanges. While acknowledging the US offers career advantages for sports, particularly MMA, Gamrot emphasized that quality of life isn't necessarily better there, noting even his children preferred returning to their grandmother in Poland despite being in Florida. He concluded that navigating daily life is simply easier in one's home country where you understand all the systems.
