Brace yourself autumn is coming

Recently one of Warsaw’s coffee shops has shocked the internet with their newest offer: coffee with human breast milk. They are promoting this ‘superfood’ as good for our health and say that it can boost our immune system. Local’s spokesman explains that the idea came from the western countries and there’s no legal regulation that would forbid this kind of practise. The concept arouse controversy mainly because breastfeeding for some still remains a taboo. Also one of the most repeated question concerned the origin of the milk. Even though there’s no medical proof that the breast milk would actually be beneficial for adults, anyone who is interested in trying can to this by going to Żona Krawca since 8^th of November

Here’s the list of 8 that I find particularly different. 1. In Austria, parents threat their children with Krampus- the evil brother of Santa that comes overnight on 5 th and 6 th of December and punishes bad kids. He’s truly scary and has goat’s horns on his head. During this night we may encounter many people dressed as Krampus in the streets. 2. Japanese eat KFC on Christmas Day. 3. In India the traditional Christmas tree is a banana or mango tree. 4. Women in Czech Republic have a tradition to make some predictions or foretells during the Holiday.
