NO!
NO!
I live in Czech Republic (just south of Poland) and OP is insanely misinformed.
This part of Europe sucks, people are too affected by communism and former Russian occupation. This is not an interesting place to live, work or do anything really. It has gotten better in last 20 years, but still, people move away from here to west all the time.
It is not absolutely horrible, but it is not interesting and mysterious at all. It may be for someone living in USA, but that is just because of the sheer distance. This is no North Korea, we hear news from Poland, Hungary, Ukraine all the time, there is no informatin enbargo or nothing like that.
Just corrupted politics, assholes and idiots all around. In major cities it is acceptable, it is west-like for tourists, but majority of the country is absolutely horrible.
I live in a small town few miles (never trust an european about miles) from the capial.
Trust me, I know what I am talking about.
I will not go into details about all that is terrible about this country, I will not write long about assholes from eastern Germany driving here to fuck few cheap prostitutes, corrupted politics and things like that, just please trust me. Nothing interesting to see here. If you want info, it is on the internet. We have democracy here, no internet censorship to be seen here.
Our politicians care about their wallets, not about internet. I am always amazed about how many laws and attention internet and things like video games (nudity,violence) gets in USA. No one cares here. No one.
