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

Real Estate / Property insurance in Poland [9]

1st
bigger insurance companies generally pays easier (PZU, Warta (yes!), Hestia). Of course, in case of bigger damage they all are trying not to pay at all

2nd
talk to multi-agent -one who sells insurances of few companies. They have some comparition and sometimes know reliability of companies

Language / Thingummyjig... Whatsisname... [4]

There is no such word. Maybe polish is so simple there is no way to forget anything ;-)

Life / The romance of an unknowable country ... Poland - my story [35]

Impressive. This story is much better then ones I heard from my family (all polish and I still live in Poland). As one live all the time in one place don't know what is strange and interesting for others. I nearly don't remember comunistic and more traditional times.

I'm waiting for next part.

Travel / Recommend staying in Sopot or Gdansk? [12]

Yes, it's nearly the same- except no tourist rush, of course there is also no street life. All the pubs work and are full of people.

It's hard to giving advices, as I don't know what do you like- pubs, dancing places, techno party or jazz pubs. All kind are rather full of people in Jan

Language / Short version of the name Krzysztof [10]

Krzysiek for friends, Krzysiu as a child or for girlfriend, Krzyś- for me rarely used- sounds not soft nor serious

Study / US student on Politechnika Gdańska - will it be hard to survive? [9]

I can't compare, but Politechnika Gdańska is really hard to survive- especially maths and mechanics- as I heard (I never studied there)
It's about 30-40 % students to graduate, but students teams wins many international prizes.
I wish You luck- and You can contact me when You arrive. I can help with accomodation or smg

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.
