Food / Feeding of Livestock in Poland [13]

It seems to me the whole world is involved in mass production. I live a sustained organic life on my organic farm without the drug induced or chemically sprayed foods. And yes it tastes wonderful. I did however purchses some pork ribs from denmark the other day. It doesn't seem to make sense that ribs from denmark are cheaper than those from USA. ....Justy Your guy is lucky !

Related: Taking antiques out of Poland

A friend of mine is ready to relocate to the UK and wanted to take some of his furniture and paintings.
He's been told that if the item is pre-1953 then he needs to get a valuer to inspect the item and then has to pay 25% of the item value just to take the piece out of the country !! I understand why they don't want to lose "Polish heritage" but this seems a bit excessive !
I told him to ask them if they give him his money back if he decides to move back to Poland one day ! :D

Hello, Yes, antiques, fine art dealing in Poland is still a headache. I do understand why is that, Polish heritage is a big taboo. Every time you take lets say violin out of the country you must prove that it is not stradivari... hopefully it will change soon as we are EU and Schengen Area country...

Related: Retro Items What Polish Like

What would you think was polish retro and in big demand? There's a bit of a fashion for old PRL stuff, I think.

Definitely retro clothing, shoes, hair styles and make-up. False eyelashes have made a comeback nowadays. I also noticed lots of oldies music being played in Warsaw and Lublin.

What's old is new again ;)

Life / Polish attitudes towards drinking alcohol [72]

The US highscool age drinking problem is far worse than any other country from what I am seeing It is the abuse and drunkedness that is the problem here. And some say this problem would not be so bad if children started drinking at a young age.
