Neat! I'm always amazed at how you introduce me, an expat Pole, to Polish contemporary culture ;) I'm a bit confused by the video - but I guess it is someone in an English-speaking country (hence the left-sided driving) who misses Poland?
Like all good Poles, I had to learn the Inwokacja in high school Polish class.
