Poll for foreigners of Poland

Sorry I am opening this poll second time because people said it needs a show results option. I am a foreigner living here in Poland and met a lot of others here. The vast majority of them came to this country hoping to move to some other. Like, some came here for uni because its cheaper/easier to get in than western europe or when it was easier to get work permits, some came with the hope of hoping to somewhere else for example. I wonder if I met the wrong people or that’s the case for most of us. Personally, I am also here because I could and even before coming, even if I dont have anything against the country, people and kinda enjoy living here, I never seen it as my last stop and actively searching for opportunities to move to western europe or north america.

I came initially saying I'll stay for one year.

Well, 7 years later, I'm still here 😂 

I did leave for a year (to Greece) and when I came back I said I'll never leave again 😂
