Today I spoke to Chris Thornborrow, a Brit from Bristol who has spent the last seven years living in Poland. After spells in Warsaw and Zielona Góra Chris has now settled in Wrocław and is married with one daughter.
We spoke about how Chris met his wife, why he came to Poland, how he found a job, being a Dad, where to get a good curry, and what Chris thinks is wrong with Polish trees. Listen to the podcast below to find out why Chris thinks the best place to learn Polish is in Egypt.

Excuse me, is he married with one of HIS daughter?
No, because in English you are married ‘to’ somebody, not ‘with’ them.
Hey, thanks for that personal interview. After 9 years in Poland
I can understand Chris very well.
@Chris: I you want oaks, big oak trees go to Mazury. They still
have them. But you are right, most of the forest you see normally
here is of the industrial kind to produce quick growing straight trees :-(

Haha! Everybody has a story as to why they’re in Poland and it’s never straightforward. I met my Polish wife in the States and now we’ve got 2 kids and live in Warsaw!
I always said it’s fate, but it seems to happen to a lot of people.
Good idea with the podcast!
