Wishing you the best in my country!

Dobko, I am glad that you are so enthusiastic about your staying here. I believe you wear rose-coloured glasses because of your new love. It is so inspiring to see someone radiating so strongly with optimism. You must have noticed that Poland is still poor when compared to Canada. On the other side, Poland has strong points as a country which is capable to embrace modern European approach while preserving traditional family values. Surprisingly, Poles were able to soften communism instead of being softened by communism themsleves.
At the moment, the political temperature in Poland is still high after the presidential elections. The frustrated religious zealots try their strength in the streets of Warsaw. They use the Cross as a tool for demonstrating their vox populi as a VOX DEI. It does not look nice and a new president has to be careful to avoid their provocation.
Happily, politics has a limited influence on our present life and there is a middle of sweet holiday time in the country at the moment.
Best wishes for you and your family, I believe that next time you extend you trip to Warsaw as well.
Zbyszek
