Travel / Szczyrk- Snowboarding [6]
I think Czarna Góra (in Sudety mts) or Wierchomla (Beskidy range) are more friendly do skiers, especially the beginners. The former is great, the latter is second best.

Law / Zloty vs US Dollar for relatives in Poland? [7]
If one has a USD denominated account in any polish bank, that should not be a problem (i.e. to receive USD from abroad). But now I'm thinking that the exchange rate used in a US bank would probably be crap compared to the rate offered locally in polish banks/kantors, so maybe it would make sense to send USD after all.....

I would prefer Zloty, but who knows what they think. USD cannot be used here unless converted to PLN.

In your case, I would recommend Saska Kępa (Praga side of the river, ul.Francuska and nearby) or Powiśle. Powiśle is much larger by the way, so many more opportunities for apartment hunting.

Vlad123, you are a pinko red homo soveticus, you had learnt sovietlike history from soviet books, which have always lied, and you are (at best) a russified Ukrainian, but not a real one. Those Ukrainians we have historical problems with, at least are self conscious and they do not bow to Kremlin propaganda like you do.

Language / which one sounds better? widziałem/zobaczyłem [30]
Not in this case, you are clearly wrong. The verb 'widzieć' by and large denotes ability to see. Therefore a question like Czy mogę widzieć jadłospis? would sound plainly stupid for the native polish speakers, however if used by a foreigner would be totally understood.
widziałem is more safe for learner.

Language / Polish word "no". Is it a slang word? [22]
it has evolved even further.... into: niom. But that was too camp and has by now died out, mostly, as well as nom itself.
No is OK. It is simply an emphatic particle. Can replace "tak" here and there in spoken language. Totally acceptable.

The law stipulates you have to have specific analysis of such transactions including proof of services provided and how the prices have been arrived at, as far as I remember. Now, whether Tax Office execute the law and how, is another matter. But technically the law is there to remind everyone that they should not transgress it.
Another trick they used was getting consultants in from the mother country and pay them a very sizeable whack for doing very little.
