Yes Deb, going farther east could be an option for Poland. Only question is whether the English language level in these cities and friendliness, will be lower than in the more western cities of Poland.
Anybody been to Lublin? which is in the easternmost region of Poland.
This is what Wikipedia has to say about it:
"The Lublin region had the lowest per capita GDP in the European Union until Bulgaria and Romania joined in 2007 (it was 32% of EU average in 2002). It is a part of eastern Poland, which has benefited less from the economic transformation after 1989 than other regions of Poland located closer to Western Europe. While the standard of living in the city of Lublin is considerably higher than in the surrounding countryside, the city's relatively poor economic performance is tied to the poverty of its surrounding region".
"Lublin is regional center of IT companies. Thanks to near 100 000 university students each year, and 5 universities in Lublin which teach computer science Masters of Arts".
Sounds like it has potential, since it is a poor city and has many universities, which usually is a good combination for a foreign pussy chaser, in terms of DHV and bang opportunities, especially after Euro Cup 2012. The only problem is that it has a population of only 350,000.
