Food / To find veal scalops in Kraków ? [8]


Jesus :o Poor meat !
Well, thanks for the info. I like to shop in an old market from time to time. I love Nowy Kleparz, especially in the summer, so I'll give a try to your butcher. By the way, you're the person who posted about lamb some time ago. Does your butcher still provide lamb as well ? I love lamb chops from time to time and prepare them in a pan with rosemary.

Language / About: w tytę [12]

It's definitely w tytę, as I mentioned this link above : define.pl/termin,Osz_ty_w_tyte,1798.html

Somebody gave the answer with the translation of tyta, and also the general meaning of the expression and its variant. So I think it's OK now ;-). Have a good weekend all.

Language / About: w tytę [12]

OK thanks

Language / About: w tytę [12]

Thanks for your replies. But one last thing :
how should I understand the expression "Ja Cię w tytę" ?

Thanks in advance

Language / About: w tytę [12]

Actually it's "w tytę". I found it here : define.pl/termin,Osz_ty_w_tyte,1798.html

But I was curious to know exactly what the word tyta means. And the second expression :
"ja Cię w tytę".

Law / How to get a private NIP number in Poland (for a foreigner) ? [28]

jonni

Thanks for your input. I talked to my lawyer. But here is a copy/paste of his e-mail reply, so you get the situation:

"Because of a resolution of the Supreme Court issued just two weeks ago, it's null and void to conclude a labour contract between a limited company and its sole shareholder being at the same time the only member of the board. In such case a solution would be to conclude a contract for manager. But still, according to paragraph 210 item 2 of Commercial Companies Code, in case like yours such contract (legal action) requires a form of notary deed.

In other words: you - acting as general assembly of shareholders - are authorized to make a resolution setting a salary for you, without notary deed. But in order to let your accountant make money transfer (salary), a legal basis is needed. And this would be e. g. contract for manager, but in your case it has to be undersigned as notary deed."

Teemu, Jonni

The thing is that, on the akt notarialny, indeed there is no mention of a salary for the "prezes". When we wrote the umowa spółki, my lawyer had foreseen for me, that I would later sign a contract as employee with my firm. I talked again to the notary on Friday. He told me there are 2 possibilities. I can do a "kontrakt menedżerski" (or whatever it is called in Polish). No need for akt notarialny or registration. So it wouldn't cost anything. Or another contract (can't remember all the details, because anyway I discuss that kind of details with my lawyer) which requires akt notarialny, sworn translator, and registration at the court by the kancelaria.

Can you give me precisions about the contract with your own firm, without all those cost and hassle? I'm obviously interested in a similar solution...

Anyway, with the original umowa spółki, I just followed the recommendations of my lawyer. If it appears I just wasted time and money because of ill advise, I'll grab him by the balls and stuff his nostrils with them!!!

News / Kaczynski to be buried at Wawel ?! [289]

Question to all:
When Lech Walesa will die, where do you think he would/should be buried ?

Law / How to get a private NIP number in Poland (for a foreigner) ? [28]

Actually it's more than just shareholder. I'm the only person in the company. So, I'm both unique shareholder, president of the board and legal representative. In these conditions, my lawyer told me (and the notary confirmed it), the contract must be a notary deed and be registered at the court.

Life / 3G availability with iPhone in Poland ? [4]

Actually it's OK now. I went back to the Orange shop and they told me to a hard reset . After the reinstallation from iTunes, it worked perfectly.

USA, Canada / My boyfriend is being deported to Poland because his US visa expired, help needed [53]

No, it was a few years before we met. Sorry if the way I wrote it was not clear. She was with the Pole and expected him to become the man of her life, so she fully trusted him.

USA, Canada / My boyfriend is being deported to Poland because his US visa expired, help needed [53]


It's very high. Mine is on "electric chair stand-by" ;-)

Worried. Don't do anything stupid and don't ever try to use somebody to stay, if you have some morals. Respect the country you pretend to like.

And I'm taking the opportunity to quote a story that happened to my ex-(Polish) girlfriend. She was legally working as a doctor for 2 years in the U.S. a few years ago. She met a Polish guy there and thought that she had found the man of her life, expecting them to get married and have children, happily going to church every sunday together. But he found himself in an illegal situation (probably expired visa). He wanted so badly to stay in the U.S. that he met an American girl of Brazilian origin which he married after 3 months, dumping the Polish girl straight away (but telling her he still wanted to have sex with her on the side because she was the one he loved). The poor girl was so devastated and just got back to her mother in Poland, with an emotional shock from which, I suspect, she never fully recovered, and a complete distrust in men.

Some people are just ready to do anything to stay in the so great America :-/ It's disgusting.

Life / Horribly cold in Krakow at the moment , how do you cope with such temperatures ? [124]


I don't cope. I freeze. This morning I went to finish the painting of my new office. It was OK doing the job as the radiator works. But going from my home to my office was awful. I'm not used to such temperatures. I have the impression that everything (not just me) is functioning slower... ;-)

Language / in Polish slang, what is the difference between Siema and Siemka? [64]

Jan 2, 10, 00:59 - Thread attached on merging:
Siemka !

Hello,

What does it mean, when said at the end of a conversation, where people leave each other: "Siemka !". Couldn't find it in my dictionary.

Thanks in advance.

Law / Settting up ''self-employed'' status in Poland [9]

This is an official website. Full of useful economical facts about Poland. In the "Polish Law" section, you will find all the regulations for setting up a business, paying taxes, and of course immigration law.

Life / Winter in Poland? [160]

Actually I just arrived from Western Europe to settle down to Krakow. It's freezing now. I temporarily live at a friend's house in the suburb and must sometimes wait for a bus for very long minutes. All this weather condition actually makes me very tired. In the evening, I already feel sleepy at 9 o'clock. The cold and the very fresh air ;-) I'm was not used to such stimulating climate in my country. However it's only -10 C. Another guy from my country who settled near Warsaw told me the temperature now where he lives is between -20 and -15 C.

History / Poland and Muslims (Tatars and others). [81]


Hej ;-) Although I generally agree with your analysis of Muslim immigration, I think you should refrain from posting things like that about kebab. In all European countries, food served in shops or restaurants is submitted to occasional inspections by local or national authorities. If such problems sometimes arise (like having pieces of cat in your Chinese dish, or meat used past the preservation date independently from the recipe's nationality), it is far from being the general rule.

History / Poland and Muslims (Tatars and others). [81]

Yes we are, but compassion doesn't mean that we must be naive. Not only we have a heart, we also have eyes and everybody saw the problems that Muslim immigration caused in Western Europe and we don't want to see the same happen in Poland.

Love / India guy Polish girl [57]

It's fascinating to see the impact of love. Probably the best way to discover another person's culture. Polish cooking and culture have delights. I bet you were a vegetarian if you're Indian, and you eat meat now? Hehe ;-) Beware that this girl doesn't eat YOU ;-) Well, good luck anyway. But be carefully, it gives you wings but the landing could be more of a crash if you misunderstand her intentions about you. Anyway, you should enjoy as much as you can those moments spent with her, as it seems they bring you a lot of positive things...

Life / How Polish are you? [74]

This quizz is ridiculous. I got 65% although I'm not at all of Polish descent, nor is anybody in my family. Probably it had to do with the improved knowledge of the language, using it with friends, and practicing catholicism.


I got 100% at that one.

Well, I'm getting better at knowing Poland. My move to Krakow next month shouldn't be a big problem ;-)

Food / Problem to find "cream" in Poland [23]


Well, at the beginning, I told my gf that we needed to buy "krem" for the recipe. She laughed and explained the difference of vocabulary. Of course that evening I massaged her body with krem. And with smietana another day. She enjoyed the combination of hands and tongue ;-).


Exactly! And that's the problem I had while cooking in Poland, besides the difference of taste.
