0:41 It's coming to me and in Poland. Some people are also taking it. Some people, because they are especially young people. They are rather stars... No, no, no. I wanted to talk about Halloween in Poland. Because we still have a holiday. Halloween. It's not a Polish tradition, but it's not an actual tradition. It's an actual tradition. It's an actual tradition, and it's an actual tradition. So, Roy, tell me, what do you know about Halloween? Because I honestly tell you, I'm just telling you, I'm just telling you, that I'm just telling you about Halloween, I don't know about it. Because, like I said, it's not a popular holiday in Poland. It's not a popular holiday in Poland. I don't know. But I know everything I know, I know.

1:28 I know, I know, I know, I know, that there are dynies, and all of them are in the color. In sum, it's all. What is Halloween? I've been living here for 18 years and when I was first, I was very small. It's always old-fashioned. There are a lot of candles in the sky. In the sky. Yes, but for people who have advertising from Halloween, there are a lot of shops. Everything is Halloween. It's like the USA. It's like everything, but it's a real situation, because this pumpkin in Irlandia was the first.

2:13 It was not a pumpkin, but it was a turnip. It was like a candle in the middle of the world. People sing and sing things. When there was a lot in the USA, there were not turnips. And that's why pumpkins. So, Irlandia organiza Halloween. You were in the USA, and now pumpkins return to Irlandia and to the whole world. So, they will organize you from Irlandia. Globalization. Everything is the same. Well, right. Is it good that everything is the same?

2:56 I think it's not. Because when you read, it's pagan, right? It's pagan tradition, to be the Vikings and to be the first, I don't know. But it's all negative. Diablo. It's all. And the people think, oh, it's a joke. It's all. It's a lot of fun. It's going to be sold. But if it's going to be sold, then marketing and companies adapt to and do something that can be sold. Maybe a company doesn't say, that it's a pagan holiday, but it's going to be said, that they're going to sell it.

3:43 So it's going to work. So it's not that it's a pagan holiday, but they can sell it. So it's like that. Halloween. A powiedz mi, czy ty kiedykolwiek świętowałeś Halloween w jakiś sposób? Kito, tak? Ty. Czy ty świętowałeś Halloween? Nie, ale my syn będzie na szkole chyba piątek, będzie na szkole i będzie spędzać noc w szkole na Halloween party. Aha. Ale ja nie mam nic w domu od Halloween. Nie masz nic w dyni, dobrze. So, okay, you mentioned that in Poland is more popular, so I think it is more popular, so I think it is more popular, so I think it is more popular, so I think it is a marketing, but what is it is, is it is a marketing, really, is it something that you can do, because people like it is, it is something that you like, or is it a day.

4:52 Wszystkich Świętych, Z Dniem Zmarłych, osób, które nie żyją, czy w jakiś sposób ma to jakieś takie głębsze znaczenie, że to faktycznie, Okay, there are cookies, there are some events in home, in school, I don't know, but that is actually a kind of a gift, that is actually a death of the dead, that apart from the fun of the cookies, we actually remember those who don't live. Or rather it's just marketing and commercialization. I think it's a lot of sugar, sweets, because there is always a bread, or something, like, she has a lot of tea, and she eats everything, and it's not good, so much sugar, sugar.

5:45 Aha, a no reduction, is it good? No, so it's just marketing. We have our Christmas in Poland, which we are going to be 1st September. It's a Polish Christmas, so it's not. Halloween? No, it wasn't. It just took place. We are going to be the same. So, so we are going to be the same. Okay, now... So, tell me, how did it change to Halloween in the past? Because when it was a little bit, a little bit, a little bit, a little bit, a little bit, a little bit, but it was not like that.

6:27 How is it now? Because it evolved, it is evolution. At first it was a little bit, now it is a lot. And how do you see it? Is it evolved and is it even better? Or how do you accept it? No, because I tell you that things like Halloween are only in the city, because in Warsaw, Łódź, some of the most places, I tell you that, in the wsi, if you do this, it would be a place to meet you. In the wsi there is no such thing. How do you see this evolution Halloween in Poland? It's like, you said it's a big city and there's also a lot of lamps on the window and in the middle, and there's also a lot of children from home to home, and so people are there.

7:19 And in Polish, these kids say, sugar or psicos. Right? Sugar or psicos. Tell me, did you get to your door children and told you sugar or psicos? No, but Ireland is very popular. When I was young, my mom always gave everything to them. Everything is like in the night, maybe 50 people to your home or so. Mhm. Tak. Aha. Dobra. No, ja tutaj też nie miałam takiej sytuacji, żeby dzieci przyszły do mnie i chciały cukierki. Ja bym nawet nie dała tych cukierków, no, bo ja nie jem cukierków, no, bo jestem na redukcji, tak? Dzieci nie rozumieją tak.

8:02 Więc, u mnie słodyczy się nie szuka, niestety. No tak, ale no, no właśnie, dla mnie Halloween nie ma sensu. Na przykład. Ale to moja opinia. Dobra. A powiedz mi, co sądzisz, What is it? Because everyone wants to be a question. Who wants to be a duch, who wants to be a monster, who wants to be a mum, who wants to be a mum. What do you think about this? What do you think about Halloween? We are talking about Halloween as a day that is associated with all the Holy Spirit. So, for people who don't live and so on. And here, someone who wants to be a mum. How does it mean?

8:43 Because people have an impression and they have a costume and they are happy to drink alcohol, do a lot of danger, everything is in the same way. It's just a topic to drink, drink alcohol. To is a so-called pretext, so to be able to drink, no właśnie. A tell me, a if you had to take a costume, what would you take to take a costume? And what I would say... What? What? For nothing. For nothing. For nothing. I would say this, you know, I would say that I would say for a diabo.

9:26 No, I don't know why, but for a diabo. It's like a kind of just a little just a little. It's something funny. Well, we were talking about that is more commercial than normal. No, good. Better than the urinary, right? No, I don't know. I don't know what the urinary is. It's a difficult topic for me. Good. Tell me, if Halloween is a Halloween. Pomaga w relacjach międzyludzkich, czy to jest po prostu naprawdę już tak komercja, komercja ostra?

10:06 Czy faktycznie Halloween jakoś wpływa na nas? No bo wiesz, mamy na przykład Boże Narodzenie, tak? To też jest jakieś takie dni święto, tak? No i właśnie, no i Boże Narodzenie to jest zupełnie coś innego, tak? Ty spotykasz się z rodziną, ty jesz, tak? Pijesz też, spędzasz czas z rodziną, więc to jest taki ważny dzień. No a Halloween, no właśnie, czy on łączy, no bo tak, dzieci idą do szkoły i spędzają tam noc, okej, no ale co z tego? Jakby, a dorośli? No właśnie, dorośli, bo to święto jest dla dzieci dosłownie, no bo ty nie świętujesz, ja też nie. Nie wiem, czy ktoś z naszych słuchaczy świętuje Halloween, może napisać, ale no nie wiem, wydaje mi się, że nie, zgaduję. No właśnie, więc to nie jest święto dla dorosłych, to jest święto dla dzieci, tak?

10:50 Dokładnie, tak. Dzieci, szczęśliwe, to jest impreza dla dzieci. Impreza dla dzieci? No bo tak, no, dzieci and you know, it's sweet and so on, like we were talking about it. No, because... What do you think about the adaptation of these days? Because, let's say, that it's imported, because it's not Polish, but it's imported from other countries. What do you think about the import of such events? For example, to Poland? Because we have another event that is imported and not Polish? We have Halloween. Save Patrick's Day. Not a lot of this country in the USA.

11:30 St. Patrick's Day is a lot of Australia too. So it's March 17th, March 17th. St. Patrick's Day is a long day. Because a few countries have a river, a snowboard, a lamp in a yellow. I am cool. And an impreza, a big impreza, a carnival. An impreza from the world. No, no, but, now I have a question. How import such international events? I speak here in Poland, because we are in Poland, we're talking about Polish, Polish, so, how import such events Where we have our culture, our religion, our culture, and we have a very strong history of our holiday, and we have a very characteristic holiday.

12:23 And now how the import of events in Europe, in the USA, can influence on us, to mean on our history and culture? Because these events must be adapted, Halloween adapt. How can we change our culture? Because it changes, because it was not Halloween. Now it is. It is negative or positive. What? Pirogi. Pirogi. Pirogi. Pirogi.

13:07 Pirogi. How can we change the culture adaptability? We all have to do universalism. In USA it is Halloween, we can do Halloween in Germany, Halloween in Austria, Halloween in Poland, and all of them are all the same. Is it good or not? No, everything is commercial. People can buy something, because sometimes they don't have money, but a friend has everything to you and you have to buy for a friend. It's all from class, all from class later, all from class later, all from class later, all from class later.

13:53 Well, unfortunately. Well, I think that it's not good for universalism, because everyone is different. And what is the most interesting thing is what is the difference between us. Because if we were all the same, it would be hard. Exactly. No. We can't be so happy. Then the world was nudny. I'm a teacher. Now imagine, that everyone is a teacher. No, no. One person is a teacher, the other person is a teacher, or another person, or another person, and the whole world is different, color and interesting. And so, I'm going to end my podcast today.
