tangerine: I am planning to make a trip down to Poland and maybe settle there for a couple of months, maybe a year. Good for you! It will certainly be an interesting experience for you. Why Poland though? What is it about our country that makes you so curious about it?
Is it our glorious history? Great historical sites? High culture and friendly population? Or maybe you just can't resist the handsome Polish men? ;)
tangerine: I have a deep curiosity and a certain kind of love for east-European countries. Well, the closest eastern European country to France is Belarus. You can also visit Ukraine or Russia - very interesting eastern European countries.
Poland is a central-European country.
