Americans are flocking to expat websites after the election: 'They want out, fast'

Poland sounds good actually, strict immigration rules.

Poland is actually one of my favorite countries in Europe. I first visited because a flight to Wroclaw was cheap as hell and I needed to fly all my family members. We arrived and had a blast. Cheap food, lodging, clean as far as the places we visited, food was good, lots of good beer and people were generally welcoming to Americans. Id go again in a second.

Live there? No, I'm American. This is the greatest country in the world IMO. But could I spend months there in the summer? Yes.

I could get citizenship in Slovenia if I wanted to move to somewhere in Europe. I dont speak the language but I loved the country.

Which Polish political party controls Warsaw?

Then take a step back and imagine judging America by one of our gateway cities, which of course by nature of being a city is governed by...

I don't expect to ever leave, but my wife's father immigrated from Greece, so her path to citizenship is easy. I like to think she'd bring me along.

Opa!!

You know that I've been learning how to slice gyro off the spit, I'm just about ready.

Been dying to get one but my littles don't eat enough to justify it.

My wife's grandpa was the priest at her Greek Orthodox church. They have a festival every summer, so much food, so good, but it's getting smaller.

My job has been to shave gyro off the spit. Here in Chicagoland we have 40 pound beef/lamb cones.

My dream is to always have a cone in the freezer and have one of the spits to be able to do it on demand!

Which church? I live very close to the one at Palatine and Roselle roads. Go to Greekfest there every year.

St Demetrios. We live in Lincoln Park, but her church is in Hammond, Indiana. There's tons of Greeks in Northwest Indiana, and of course also in the Illinois side of Chicagoland.

Ah, Hammond is the exact opposite side of the area from me.

Well, speaking of Greek run eateries, do you go to Billy’s on Northwest Highway? @ThorneStockton
It was the FIL’s go to place. 20 ish years ago it was a bit like the diner on Seinfeld that Elaine got all worked up about due to the busty waitresses. The owner would have all his busty Greek daughters there on the weekends. Good pancakes, too.
I haven’t been there in 5 years or so, not since the FIL passed away.

Greek food is one of life’s great pleasures. The enormous Greek Orthodox Church here on the south side of Jacksonville had their Greek Food Festival last weekend. We thought about going but the traffic backup was over an hour just to get into the parking lot. 🤨

Huh…never been, will have to check it out.

Continuing wth Greek food, if you manage to have leftover gyro, put some in an omelet the next morning. Then slide that omelet into a pita that you were heating in the gyro fat.

Delish.
