Yep, back in 1995 Poland had about 10 fast food places and maybe two shopping malls. Now the stuff is everywhere and still it's not always better that way. For example the things you say - electronic equipment. It was really cheap in those times as you noticed. Now electromarkets like MediaMarkt, Saturn & Dixons (called Electro World here) battle with each other as well as polish companies and regular hypermakets in "making stuff cheaper", but to make it funny everything is more expensive then in the old days. Prices aren't lower then in Germany and sometimes even higher. Oh well, I guess that's just the way it is :-D

LoL.. Well, I was in Poland 10 years ago, and at that time, it looked more the less like we imagined - ie like Western Europe in the 60s/70s... I don't recall if we saw any McDonald's there at that time, but I remember the looks of a couple of my friends when we walked by an electronic store and saw advanced computer equipment and other consumer electronics for about 1/10th the price it was at home.. |

Actually I tend not to believe anyone these days. Especially movies, news programms and newspapers. Why? Because I live in Poland. And the shit that is in papers / TV in other country about us is so close to the truth as Warsaw to Ulan Bator. Most programs (and even encyclopedias) illustrate us as a country with horse drawn carts and no modern infrastracture. The effect is hilarious. During the last years my friends from the US and Canada came to see me and they took photos in front of every McDonald's and shopping mall, order Pizza from Pizza Hut just because they didn't believe it was possible in my small town, taped Polish MTV and VH1 and even took a Polish Big Mac, KFC Twister, can of coke and other "goods" home with them to proove that yes, they can be purchased in Poland and did other stupid things. That shows what "gossip" and "stereotypes" about other countries are worth and shows why I don't believe anyone except my family and friends and my own eyes :-D

Anyway watching videos & DVDs is a strange idea. Didn't know it was practised anywhere outside Saudi Arabia and maybe some other Muslim countries. Also Canada seems quite a tolerant country, so this comes as an even bigger shock for me. Poland (or some parts of it) is still very religious in comparison to the west and our customs only check the contant (on a scanner without opening) and never view anything.

too right!
I'm no longer sure which it was, but one of the videos I purchased a few years ago WAS opened and partially viewed. As best I can recall, it really wouldn't have come anywhere close to the Canadian definition of obscenity or pornography. Unless the "agent" was one of us, I'm sure he/she would have been pretty disappointed. Nevertheless, I think that all in the name of security and public protection, our customes/postal service don't have much respect for personal privacy.

Website: www.wetlook.com The Canadian Postal Service/Customs has always been problematic, as most wetlook producers know ! As far as I know, it's the ONLY country that insists that the return address for parcels is on the front of the package, rather than the back.
This was already a pain in the arse, but NOW I have had a DVD "REFUSED ENTRY" because my return label has "No Sender name in French or English"...
To not hint at the contents, my return labels are always just:
PO Box 3430 COLCHESTER CO4 0ZU ENGLAND
But now, for Canadian customers, I am going to have to put a dummy 'name' before the PO Box - and pay again to get it re-sent - how pathetic !
Other producers beware !
Does anyone from Canada have any idea why their Customs/Postage service is so screwed up ?
