OK, so I read a lot of blogs about Poland. I came across one recently which points out some interesting statistics about Poland. If you look at the top 42 most developed countries in the world, Poland comes in at 41: http://www.tastingpoland.com/blog/poland-hdi2010.html. This means that Poland is one of the poorest of the richest countries in the world!
Ok, the above may be somewhat “tongue-in-cheek” humor, but it is really impressive that Poland is in this list. Yes, with the downfall of Communism, Poland and a few other former “Eastern Bloc” countries are now climbing into the ranks of high achievement. Based on my recent visit there, I can see why!
