Polish culture has a lot to offer but it's not as recognizable as other cultural powerhouses of the world. We don't have that many vibrant cliches like French, Italians or even Scottish, much smaller country that made absolutely everything they possible could to be distinct from English. In this shrine I'll try my best to compile modern Polish culture into a bunch of examples that I know and/or personally like and further explain the meaning of each entry from my perspective of born and raised Polish guy.
I have a love-hate relationship with malls: I love maps of malls, massive architecture and planning that is undertaken to build those things, I hate actually going there, except for food, necessities and some useful junk once in a while. They are impressive but often disrupting parts of urban areas and I'll give some examples of malls I personally visited in various Polish and European cities.
Before the smartphone era has begun, I owned three types of phones, in order: Siemens (basically a brick in the last year of my kindergarden), Sagem (cool flip-phone) and Sony Ericsson (monumental jump of capabilities and memory available). This little shrine will be my brief rundown of my experience of innocent days of "dumb" phones and maybe some extra electronic gadgets like the noname discman or usb mp3 players. Good times.
