What are the best countries to live in?

That is why I wouldn`t trade Poland for anything else.

That's why it has to be done early.

My country, my home, my castle etc.

My home is where my DNA lives and the woman who helped me spread it - aka my wife.
Castles are bs. There are many people in Zakopane who never made it to Gubalowka or Morskie Oko.

Why has to? :):)

Proofs, please. :):)

Besides, you don`t need to go to Gubałówka summit to feel that Zakopane and Poland are your country, home and castle. You just know the summit is there and you can visit it any time you wish. You live in Pocahontas or what`s-its-name, I don`t remember now. Have you visited all its districts yet??

That's the key. If you leave, the longer you're away, the harder it is to return.

In German exist meine Heimat-my Homeland and mein Zuhause-my home. For me is Poland my Homeland but Germany my home.

Jeremy Clarcson considers expat to Poland !!!?

Jeremy Clarkson

Poland had better start organising some self-defence training for hotel and TV staff then, in case he hits somebody else because his steak isn't ready.

He's the worst thing to come out of my home town since, well, ever.

I reckon we are about equal and both above Ireland!

As the lad says 'ah sure what would you want to go home for?'

Absolutely best country in the world :))

Just what I want when I'm tired and just want to get home and crash.... a full blown hootenanny! My only question is where are the haystacks?

And you won't have any better luck if you're waiting for a taxi in Dublin ;-)

And how does Poland rate with you?

I can't imagine raising my children anywhere else or living abroad permanently. I travelled a lot and lived in Ireland for 3 years but the more countries I visited the more I actually appreciated Poland, with her natural beauty, rich culture, Christian heart, and this elusive something that soothes my soul, when I smell morning air by a Kashubian lake on a rainy summer day, buy a serving of pierogi at a local agricultural fair or attend a Mass with my family.

As Pawian said...

I wouldn`t trade Poland for anything else. My country, my home, my castle etc.

As for the foreign countries I've been to, my best memories are from: Ireland, Italy and Russia. Oh, and of course Czechia is lovely as well, but I don't really consider them foreign. ;)

Depends on what one means by "live".

America is definitely not a good country to "live" in, but it provides potentially more opportunity than any other place.

Similarly in Russia - Russia may not be as nice a place to live as Georgia, or some place like Kyrgyzstan (I love Kyrgyzstan) - but the opportunities are simply on a different scale in Russia.

So for me, it depends on your system of moral coordinates, and where you are in your life at that point.

When I visited Hawaii, I thought I had discovered paradise on Earth. Perfect climate, stunning views, warm people, amazing food....

But after being there for two weeks I wanted to hang myself. I started to view the locals with extreme contempt, for their laidback lifestyles, and couldn't wait to get back to NY.

So for me, with no kids, no wife, and still relatively young parents - the best place to live is where I can maximize my potential.

As a troll on PF? Come on, man, find something else to do.

If I can't be a troll for Russia, I would like to become a bodybuilder.

:)

And when I'm not trolling for Poland, I spend my time as a handsome heartbreaker without mercy.

Paradise (def.) - a place where I don't see Asians, blacks, and Latinos in every damn TV commercial, faggot flags in every mall, non-binary a-holes on every street, an obligatory gay black dude in every sitcom, a 100-pound chick beating the crap out of six guys with guns, and where people don't wave their hands when they speak.

Hmmm...Have you just described Poland?

You are a genius!

Finally, someone appreciated me, although when driving through Szczecin today I had the impression that it was far from paradise. Although on the German side there is also squealing poverty. At least in Mecklenburg.

No, Poland is no Eden and neither is any other country in Europe,North America or Australasia.
But if I was forced to pick a country, despite all the chaos within them, I would pick England, France or Italy. and yes, maybe Ireland...not perfect by far, but much better than the alternatives.

At least you can have a quality of life in those countries.

I would pick England,

I enjoyed visiting Ireland and England it was always fun and has a lot of scenic beauty.

We might just visit York again this year:)

You're saying you can't have a quality of life in Poland?

no wonder pawian calls you names....

A really nice quake of life even. Compared with London where prices are crazy and there are too many people, Warsaw is a dream.

Poland can have its challenges, however on the whole it's an easy place to live.

@mafketis
In another thread yesterday, I wrote a barbed reply to Mopey Rich but you posted just before me and it looked like I was being snarky with you. I wasn't, and hope you weren't too offended.

Warsaw is a dream.

So few Muslims and other scum...99.9% white...If they could just deport foreign LGBTs...

Muslims in Russia, like their brothers in the US, are good Muslims - to scared to act like the violent morons in the UK, France, and Germany.

A while back, I went to the mosque in Des Plaines, was given a tour, watched them pray, and felt I was among friends.
To my pleasant surprise, everything was in English.

Yes, you left.

It's perhaps the most diverse city in Poland and we're well rid of you.

Best place to live in the world is either Kyrgyzstan or Montenegro.

However, I must say I am very partial to mountains.
