Travel / Gdynia info / Hotels to stay [17]

I live in Gdynia all my life, so I can tell about and show most of tourist attractions, pubs, etc. Taxis are safe, and even public transport is (except nights)- also metropolitan train (SKM) is often better then car. Nightlive place is rather Sopot (it never sleeps). I know nothing about hiring a car and very little about hotels.

Law / Starting a Business In Poland - what should I know? [28]

I think You are asking abt something else- law You can check yourself (or your attorney will help)
1. Polish administration is not helpfull. In fact stupidity and avoiding common sense is normal. You may have luck or simpliest things can take months
2. restrictive bankruptcy proceedings- now it's hard to avoid personal responsibility of Board in case of bankruptcy
3. And something better- there is many different inspections, etc., but if you already have estabilished bussines any penalties are symbolic for 100+ employees company
4. abt labor law- polish workers are used to longer workin day. Formally it's 40 h/week with very limited overtime. In fact working day in one-shift factory is 10 hours

other things or my help as attorney- PM please
