I would like someone to define what Poland is and why would anyone miss it. I visited a few times and I couldn’t wait to get the hell outta there.
honestly, this question deserves a thread of its own.

Poles are actually quite interested in americans, brits etc. of polish descent who come to poland to live/work or just to vacation in the country of their ancestors. There's never any anger or hostility towards such people -
this i most certainly cannot agree with. i have found myself in many situations where a pole judged me because I am american even before i opened my mouth and when i did, it was only downhill from there. it used to happen in class as well. i remember having to notify a school director about a year ago that i couldn't do one of their contracts anymore because of the horribly flagrant america hater I had in my class....and he was in his 40's. he literally confronted me the first day of class, demanding an answer to "why poland isn't in the VWP? we're an EU country! I want to go there but they won't let me! this stupid country won't let me visit!" after a few more classes of similar treatment I had to resign before saying something I would have regretted.
