atlantic 17 | 65 22 Jun 2023 #1Hello all, I'm contemplating a move to Switzerland with my wife and two kids. We are currently in NJ in the states and are both Polish born, hence a move to Switzerland would be convenient when we want to visit family in Poland. Does anyone know of Polish communities in the Zurich area?

Couldn't hurt.Where did or do you live in New Jersey, by the way? My family and I live in Fort Lee.

OP atlantic 17 | 65 27 Jun 2023 #8@Cargo pants The Polish food has gone downhill recently. I stopped buying the meals from Piast when I ended up with food that seemed like it had been heated up yesterday. And apparently, Piast is supposed to be one of the better ones. Regarding the fake Biedronka, I wonder how they get around trademark infringement issues regarding use of the logo and name. I guess the Biedronka in Poland could care less and or there's very little they can do.
