Are you sure it wasn`t Irena Santor`s concert but you don`t remember now coz you were too intoxicated to distinguish what kind of music was played???????

"Baby please don't go" was a huge hit in Poland at the time. No, that wasn't Santor.

I didn't know that only Jews are allowed to immigrate to the US.

It just makes it a lot easier. The communist are Jews and so are the capitalist.

The communist are Jews

Jews are too smart to be communists. They are great at using communism to pluder and exploit the true believers.

What country is your home?

Wouldn't the word 'clever' fit better here?

Quoting:

Smart people are necessary when you have complicated situations to work out carefully over time.

Clever people are useful when the situation requires unusual and quick thinking in a way that will delight.

While in communist primary school, I remember we exchanged addresses of car companies located in Western countries. A good address might bring you sth that your peers appreciated very much and respected you for possessing - namely, brochures about the produced cars.

I still have that sheet of paper with the addresses in my archives. Some of them were located in Japan!

What I still find amasing is the fact that a lot of companies DID send the brochures to the communist country although they sold close to nothing there.
However, they displayed amasing anticipation skills coz I am sure some of those youngsters who had studied the brochures so carefully in their childhood later on decided to choose cars made by the company.

I remember one brochure I had - advertising a car which hasn`t been produced for decades. French Simca 1100!!!!

Which are called prospekty in Polish. Prospects - a false friend for an English speaker so watch out!

After the collapse of communism, of course.

Communist propaganda covered the topic of coming Christmas as early as capitalist media, which means already in Novemeber.

The most important product brought to Poland for Christmas was tropical fruit - already in November the press triumphantly announced that "ships with citrus fruit have set off from foreign ports for the Christmas table".

One of my fave books as a boy was Method on Alcybiades. The story is set in early 1960s and shows a secondary school with single sex classes only for boys. Amasing!
