To move or not to move?

20 years ago

Hi there,

This seems to be the only reasonably active group of expacts in Poland. I hope someone will respond to my question--to move (back) or not to move?

I was born in Poland but have lived in the U.S. for the last fourteen years. My American husband and I have just started considering on whether it would make sense to move to Poland or not with our two-year-old son. We would want to buy a house near Warsaw, and he would continue running his Internet buisness, which I hope would be enough for us to live on.

However, I'm still not sure if I should do it and if my husband, who only saw Poland a couple of times for a week or two each time, would be able to adjust.

Are there any Americans here who live in or near Warsaw? Is there any American community in Warsaw that meets from time to time? What was the hardest thing (besides language) to get used to when you moved?

Any comments and responses are appreciated. I'll forward them to my husband.

thanks
