World according to Polish people - geography in Polish sayings

Polish language contains cornucopia of comparisons to places all around the world to describe things, emotions, or a state od being. Geographical regions, countries, cities - everything is in play! Try to name the places which Polish people think about, when they describe their world. Good luck! :) P.S: Some answers rhyme with the hints (in Polish) :)
