Life / Reasons for moving to Poland [291]

Love- BF in studies
Adventure- I was here in less than 2 weeks after the possibility presented itself!
Fate- Who'd a thunk it? From small town MI to Poland? I never did!
Youth- I'm too young to not live everywhere once!

I don't care where you come from where your going is always better even if it's going back home!

Yes, but not like the US. Our courthouse is getting a $900,000 upgrade to add a elevator for the 2nd floor! Have to love Americans wasting cash!

My flat is on the 4th story and there's no elevator. In the US i'm sure that's illegal! LOL

I forgot a HUGE miss! Sweet Corn!!!! Mmmmm Sweet Corn

It's just not the same here though. I had a friend come stay the summer from Chelm and she admits the Sweet Corn in the States just has a special little something that makes it's so yummy.

KFC here has corn and it's, well, corn. 1 more month and I'll be porking out on Sweet corn!

I had BBQ wings and was appauled. I invited everyone over for REAL BBQ wins and they were shocked. The BBQ here was deep fried chicken in a mustard-ish sauce.

Applebee's could make a KILLING here! #12 missing: Applebees Boneless Chicken Wings

I agree! Those 3 show up in Poland and I'll be one happy American! Now, if we could get Polish beers, bread and chocolate in the states... I could be more excited about coming home.
