>>4710892What the fuck, it's exactly the opposite. We get all excited if anyone from the west comes here, heck if some American wanted to live here it would be quite an event. Showing slightest interest in our country is a great thing in our eyes; we, generally speaking, consider ourselves a bit irrelevant, especially compared to the big boy First Commonwealth was.
I don't know about other countries, but Poland at least isn't that much worse than the west, quality of life is comparable. The thing is though, that we earn four times less and stuff in shops is four times cheaper, so it's all well and good up until you want to buy something from abroad.
