[May 2009] Poland is a beer country.
It was memorable that when I ordered beer instead of wine at a restaurant, the waiter bobbed his head in approval with a big smile in Krakow in 2009.
Before that, in 2001, when I went to this country for the first time, it was difficult to let them understand that I wanted to order a bottle of wine with a meal.
It seemed that it was not a usual thing to do in Poland at least in those days.
