I moved to Poland mainly for cheap booze and smoke. The latter aren't cheap anymore due to convergence with the EU. Alcohol is still cheap though. Some places sell beer for less than half a euro on special nights. It's always fun to take visitors from Norway to such a place and watch their jaws drop.

My Polish friends always wonder why I would leave San Francisco for their country. Poles love America and San Francisco in particular is a symbol of civilizational achievement. There's even a popular song about it. Well, one of my friends went on a work trip there and stayed at a hotel on lower Market for a week. When she came back she told me "yeah, now I understand why you're here" (or something to the effect).

Why she didn't like San Francisco?

Could you talk more about the process of moving to Poland and what you do for work? Remote or do you get a local salary?

Interesting, which places do you live and prefer in Poland? Warsaw, Krakow or smaller ones?
