History / Music and movies from the PRL times in Poland [5]
What I remember the most is the Alternatywy 4 TV show - very famous and great series (about reality in Poland's PRL)
Beside that my favourite movies were those directed by Stanislaw Bareja - great comedies with fabulous actors.

The 00-001 is a Warsaw postcode - so it may be valid:
pocztowekody.pl/index/index/zipcode/00-001
Oh, this is the website of this company, and judging from no Polish version, or how they wrote the Jagiellonska Street, they are rather not Polish. alstroz.eu/contact.html
It's hard to determine their genuity basing on that (looks a bit weird imo)

I don't know if there's a particular region of Poland where this name is more popular. It seems it's very rare though..

If I should be guessing, that would be Cichowicz.

Poland's economy is quite good and still growing. Year after year people from Poland are travelling more distant places during vacations. But Poles love warm sea. Jordan has very limited access to the Red Sea and it may be a problem. The same with visa.
An Arabian restaurant? Why not - a large city seems to be good location although the competition will be bigger.
International service company - try to find some Jordanian business in Poland, check how they are doing.
