Poland
+ very cheap, can eat a dinner for 5 euro or travel by train all the way across the country for 15 euro,
+ beautiful nature and countryside - although you need to know where to look, as popular places get very crowded in the season,
+ western idea of political hypercorrectness is largely absent from the public attention,
+ natural disasters (volcanoes, earthquakes) are non-existent, extreme weather is rare,
+ overall life is generally decent as long as you're not working like a mule for minimum wage.
- everyone, even your friends, are extremely nosy and judgemental about how you're living your life,
- our government has obvious authoritarian ambitions,
- the catholic church has a massive influence on public life (luckily this is slowly changing),
- public healthcare is a sad joke,
- terrible air pollution in cities during winter.
