- Living in the West, I never lost contact with the Polish. Here I still have a house, own VAT and PIT.I have friends here. My parents raised me to believe that Poland is the best and most beautiful country. Thanks travels around the world understand that this is not entirely true that there are countries more beautiful and richer. But love of country is like love of a mother. You have to love it and respect for it, that is. The more poor and tormented, the more need of love.
