@MacAindreas
Atch makes some superb points.
Life in Poland is certainly not easy.
And as for peace and quiet.... unless you are living in the Cold wastes of beautiful Podlasie.....you won't see much of that either.
Poland is what you make of it.
It has it's positives and negatives.
But if you are prepared to make the effort.
You can make it work.

Really?
I have known many Jews in my long life, most of them Polish.
I suspect that I know a lot more about Jews and especially Polish Jews than you do.
Look at yourself in the mirror and learn more.
There is nothing to be ashamed of.
Polish Jews had a huge and beneficial impact on Polish culture, society and cuisine.
You apparently have no idea what a Jew is.

Unheard of for an American car.

But I am in no rush to get an electric car.
I will stick with good old petrol for now.

I don't know what your experience of life is outside of Poland but I feel strongly that you have misjudged people's perceptions..
If anything, Poles are regarded in higher esteem for being brave enough to stand up against the mouth that feeds them.....Brussels.....
other people im Europa know Poland only from TV or newspapers and if you know they produce only negative news about Poland

Merged:
I thought that this might be an interesting thread for people to share experiences from both sides.
Those of us who don't live in Poland to share our experience's of going to Poland and also for Polish residents to share their experiences of visiting other countries.
I have a somewhat lengthy intro.
My Mums parents moved to France from Poland between the two world wars.
So I have a lot of family in France and have visited that country every two or three years since I was a toddler.
My earliest memories of France was of a very different country from England, fascinating,different but quite backward and primitive,
I am talking about the early to mid sixties now.
In 1966, when I was 9 years old, we went to Spain.
The Fascists were still in power then and as a nine year old I hardly noticed.
Except for the policemen with funny hats and batons patrolling the beach to control nut salesmen and topless bathers....
Then in 1968, aged eleven, I went on a school cruise to Norway and The Netherlands and discovered two countries that in many ways were closer to the England that I knew.
After many years,in 1969 my dad at last got a British passport, before that he only had a travel document issued by the British Government, that was only valid in a few countries and not in Poland.....
So now we were going to Poland...... it was 1969, I was 12 years old, but fairly well travelled.......despite the warm reception we had from family in Poland.The shock was immense...... backward France and Fascist Spain just did not compare.......
After that, we visited every three years or so and I have witnessed the huge changes that Poland has experienced and endured.
I have not been to Poland for three years now, but it is no longer the same country I first visited as a child in 1969.
I am proud of Poles and of Poland for how they have changed the country since 1989.
And would be curious about other people's perceptions of Poland and also of Polish perceptions of other countries they have visited or lived in.

You made the right move.
It is not a question of intelligence or stupidity though, more one of susceptibility.
I can take spirits or leave them, others find it hard to stop drinking.
To me, that is sensible drinking.
You have to be careful with alcohol, especially spirits.
I knew a few Polish alcoholics as I am sure you all have.
It never ends well.
so I stopped drinking

This is your biggest mistake and shows your ignorance of how Polish people think.
We are Slavs and most of us respect that history.
But Russians are Slavs too and they have done so much harm and destroyed any idea of a Slav union.
There is no Slavic unity and never will be until Russians change their ways.
Serbs will never gain any respect until they stop licking Russian arses.....
Belonging to the Slavic civilization
