is it easy to live in Poland?

Even trolls are entitled to their own opinion

What makes me sick is how all you Poles are so stupidly patriotic..

What about the americans

All the old ladies are dressed like in the 1940s! And the men make Borat look like a New York pimp! Perhaps Poland will reach the 21st century in another couple of generations.

was born and raised in the UK - I have a good job - plenty money - but when I'm in Poland I feel alive. I'm sure it's the same with other recently freed eastern european countries - there is an energy, a feeling that anything could happen. Yes it's poor, sometimes bleak, but people somehow get by and they seem inspired. It's difficult to describe - this energy that exists, especially in larger cities - the charm and quirky character of the countryside. I have met English, Irish and Scottish people in Poland who are living there. They earn less, much less, but they survive, shop in markets, eat real food and are happy. They recognise a better quality of life. Not richer - but better quality of life. (to be defined?) Younger poles however recognise the hardships in their country and are tempted by the west, because they can earn more money. It's a practical thing. They come to the UK - they see, experience, ponder - but find their hearts remain in Poland. One day they will realise that money aint everything, and return and join those English Irish and those Scotts.
