I keep hearing stuff like that Poland has bad air and that only half the locals are nice and such and that Italians are so much friendlier, the country's sunnier, and "don't ever go to Poland, you wouldn't like it there".

Some people say just vacation to both countries, girlfriend says live in Italy but vacation in Poland, and my dad and uncle say to vacation in Italy but live in Poland.

I'm still young so I won't worry about it now, but which seems to be more welcoming, more opportunities, and clean to live and all? Both seem about the same to me and both seem very culturally rich and pretty.

Apologies if this is offensive.

I've been living in Poland for the last 13 years and can only say good about the country. The language barrier still exists after all that time but luckily most younger Polish speak English. It's definitely a nice place to life.

I cannot comment about living in Italy as I have only visited it for vacation a few times. It's a beautiful country and people where nice everywhere but if it comes to work, I'm sure Poland has more to offer. It's the outsourcing country of Europe. Good wages and highly qualified people.
