Kind of, but I married her 15 years ago. She wants to go back for a few years which is cool but I'm very concerned she's going to stay...with the kids. Legally I'm screwed if..., but maybe it'll work out and be a great adventure.

It's not bad, especially if you're still working in the US. The US dollar travels very far here

Poland was actually surprisingly beautiful. They have lots of great nature spaces even in the city parks. There are definitely downsides and the cultural sadness is weird to get used to, but it’s still an adventure and we should always think carefully before saying no to adventure.

Which city would you move to?

Torun was my favorite place but it's getting busy with tourists, Zakopane also. Weiliczka salt mine was incredible! I have noticed the cultural sadness too. I worry my kids might catch that but for now they are excited to be there. I am an adventurous kind so I appreciate your words! We'll be just east of Warsaw.

Nice. If you get the chance, I recommend Wrocław, too. The little gnomes all over town are adorable and such a fun, publicly-driven art project.

I've heard of that :) I'll probably make it there at some point since the company I work for here in the US (remotely) actually has an office there.

If you do, then you NEED to go the polish markets and buy loads of cheap cherries and other berries, also, you have to try different pickles fresh from the market. They are lovely! And much better than the trashy store bought ones.
I never actually dared buy normal storebought ones, because i have heard such bad about them. I only buy pickles from store if they are polish, and the polish cashier recommend them.
