Australia / Newborn girl -ska or -ski ? AUSTRALIA [12]

Many popular actresses from around the world (mainly from USA/Australia) got -ski, for Poles it sounds weird but for non-Polish speakers there is no difference I think.

Language / Writing time of day and currency amounts - in Poland and in the UK [5]

10.15? I'm Polish and I never used that, I'm always writing 10:15.

1:25 or 01:25
0:13
10:15
17:45
21:55
etc.

About currencies, we say "fifteen zlotys/dollars/euro", that's why Poles usually writes 15$. It's weird to use zł15 (zł is the symbol like $ or £).

Genealogy / Help with my Polish Names... Nickowol, Olszowy, Smagacz [5]

We've got more than 30 villages/small towns called "Kamień" (it means "Stone"). Around 1900 there was no Poland or Poland-Lithuania Commonwealth because of the partitions in XVIII century. If birth place is Austria it means that was in the southern part of Poland.

Law / Question about the drinking laws of Poland. [45]

You need to be 18 to buy alcohol, cigarettes and fireworks (they're mostly available near 31st December). If you look like you're under 20 they will ask for ID (many shopkeepers dont recognize driving license even if you are over 18 and still looks like a you are not).

Food / Australian cafe in Cracow [3]

You want to serve some Australian things or just decorate it in Australian style? Anyway both options sounds fine, many Poles have someone in their family who lives in Australia ;)
