text: Greg: Without giving details and jinxing anything, how is the Polish academic scene and how friendly/functional would it be for a foreigner, like me, who can't shut up in a timely fashion some days?
  Greg: Someone wants to bring me out as a visiting prof.
  Sam: Visiting profs have quite a nice time in Poland
  Sam: Red tape is hellish
  Sam: But you won't have much of it as a visiting prof
  Sam: Which uni invites u?
  Greg: I'll have to look up the name again. They sent a message after I was at a conference with their Chair or Vice-Chair, but I was afraid to just jump enthusiastically in.
  Sam: Right
  Sam: University and city matters and some faculties are more messy than others
  Sam: But most Poles speak English so you won't have troubles communicating with tgem
  Greg: Thank you <3
  Sam: Warsaw, Cracow and Poznań are the best for foreigners
  Sam: Poles, like Americans I guess, are pretty divided right now and you can feel the right wing getting stronger
  Sam: if you were to move in here, I would recommend postpone it till 2020, till new elections
  Sam: but for a visiting prof it won't be an issue
  Greg: I'm such a chicken. I'm afraid of every town in the world.
  Greg: Thank you. I'll have to pull it up and tell them I'm interested. I'll send you an update around the same time.
  Sam: it would be great if u were in Warsaw
  Sam: I just told my bf that you would have lots to talk about, he studied Chinese language and culture and we could hang out!
  Sam: but whenever you'll be in Poland, I would meet you up <3
  Greg: That would be fantastic! :D
  Sam: :)
target: Greg has been offered a visiting professor position in Poland after a conference he attended and would like to know the realities of academic life in Poland. Sam describes them to Greg. Greg will respond that he is interested in the offer.
