warsaw isn't that cheap either, especially when you are not local ;-)
i don't know latvia and estonia, i'm from poland and i know ukraine too (a litle)...
what i can say about Poland and Ukraine: it's quite cheap, terrible roads, HOT GIRLS, very nice food.
you can live very ok in Poland for 1000 euros monthly (if you don't rent something with prices for foreigners...), in Ukraine it will be even nicer for you with that money
oh yes and we have also very nice landscapes and nature in general...forests are not behind fence like sometime in UK they are... ;-)
So, Poland:
- schools - there are not so many foreigners in Polish elementary and secondary schools...only on universites they are...generally speaking schools are OK, higher level than in USA....
- hospitals - better to have private health care and insurance (you can get that for around 100 $ monthly)...
- taxes - it depends on the income, most people pay around 20 %
- long term visa: Poland is in UE so probably the same laws as for other UE countries...
- general quality of life: it depends what you are looking for...like i said: we have great food, hot girls, quite cheap alcohol ;-P, lot of monuments and nice nature.... we don't have: good roads and people over 40 don't speak english in general ;-)
SE Asia is better ;-P, except girls
