This reminds me of a Czech expression we use when we encounter something unfamiliar we struggle to understand. We say "to je pro mě španělská vesnice" (that's a Spanish village to me). In German, it's "Das ist mir ein böhmisches Dorf" (that's a Czech/Bohemian village to me). A bit of background and some expressions used in other countries (written in German):
It says that to Polish people, things are "Chinese", and something incomprehensible is a "Czech movie" to them. Do you use these, Martin? :)
Tetris taught me that when you try to fit in, you'll disappear.
