Life / Expat Wife Moving to Warsaw, Poland [30]

There is a really large expat presence in Warsaw who you will get to know in no time. For example, I'm American, our neighbors are Polish, Israeli, and Korean. My son goes to school with French, Swiss, Korean, Russian and Israeli kids and they all speak English to each other, it's really cute.

You should check out American Friends in Warsaw, a great organization for people of all nationalities that live in Poland.

You've got a good start there. Let me add some ideas. I'm a Florida cracker transplanted to Warsaw.

Polish drivers: think every crappy road they drive on is the autobahn and that they are mario andretti. Will not let women drivers pass them under any circumstances. I like to play a game to see how fast I can get them to go, just to keep me from passing.

Polish women: As a women, they inspire me to do better. Dress better, wear cuter clothes, etc. As a stay at home mom, it's hard to keep up, but I'm trying. And, unlike other nearby countries, Polish women are not throwing themselves at my husband all the time. They have self-respect and decorum.

Lastly, customer service. An idea whose time has come. Check it out. Don't be yelling at me in line at Tesco. I'm about to give you my money and that money should buy me groceries and a friendly greeting : )
