Poland may not be an exotic country but you can feel safe here - well, maybe luxury cars get stolen still more often that in the US / Western Europe but you are safe when it comes to property / personal finances. You won't get fucked by the state, only have to have the patience to deal with stupid burocracy.
Many people here live the same life style as in Western Europe, but the majority does not, so the country is overall perceived as poor.
Internet connection is not a big problem and there are no dangerous spiders in Poland
