Indonesia and Poland

An Indonesian flag is a Polish flag upside down. The capital of Jakarta is a long way from Warsaw town. On the islands of Sumatra, Java, and Borneo, sauerkraut and kielbasa is something they don’t know. Has the average Indonesian ever heard of Thaddeus Kosciusko? Does anybody know a good Indonesian joke? People tell Polish jokes until they choke. There is little to compare between these two countries. Poland and Indonesia bear very few similarities.

I have learned something new today. Thanks for this. I have some Polish in me myself. My grandfather has a "polish cup" - the handle is at the bottom of the cup. He has a load of Polish jokes, nothing of Indonesian of course. ;) Always, Laura
