Language / Mam NA imię XY in Polish [6]
it's incorrect to use with only first name, and while often used in Poland could confuse if you have foreign first name.
Nazywam się is for surname or both.
Mam na nazwisko Y- the same structure, but surname=nazwisko.
Nazywam się X

Life / If you are Polish abroad or of Polish descent, do you celebrate St. Nicholas day? [33]
you never stop believing in St. Nicholas. ( if you are a Christian from denomination that has saints) he just stops sending presents with angels and starts using people instead.

Food / 'Wigilia', the traditional Christmas Eve supper in Poland [77]
With "traditional" Christmas Eve dishes, you take a group of 10 unrelated people who live in the same area, and have roots there and will come with at least 20 dishes. Also the way you count to 12 is pretty arbitrary, is wafer a meal, are different versions of pierogi different meals, what about "uszka", or "kompot".

If he was talking about right wing I'm not sure he meant RAS, it is not seen as right wing, also they want autonomy not independence. On the other hand some right wing politicians claim EU is evil.

Kids sometimes can't handle some meals, while they love other. If you are the person responsible for cooking you can spice it the way you like and choose what you think is the best for your family. There migh be dishes that are not traditional in your family, but are traditional in your region, I think there are at least 100 of different traditional potrawy wigilijne in Poland

In my family
1. Karp w galarecie and (if is) herring in cream
2. soup
3. Gołąbki
4. Pierogi
WE don't have salads or fried fish, but those would go before soup.

I meant the story was create in places where fireplaces were much more popular so Santa comes down the chimney and leaves coal for naughty children. St Nick and Angel can just teleport from heaven , no need for chimneys.
I'm pointing out difference between beings that bring gifts in Polish tradition and new Santa. ;)

Whatever comes, it's good to find some nice things under Christmas tree and spend time with people :)
And I just read in local newspaper that St Nick (wearing his bishop attire) came to my town on his sledge with reindeers from North Pole. An he came at 9th.

You could also do potato ones (never heard of it as Chrismas Eve dish, but no meat in them)
or as google suggests just mushrooms or with kasza and mushrooms

Just finished cooking uszka with my mum, we mince mushrooms, and don't add cabbage (that is for cabbage and mushrooms pierogi) and as many recipes suggest we add egg to filling, that way it's easier to make and more survive boiling.
Alo although most people use uszka to barszcz, some add them to other soups, we used to make kwasówka, a soup made with sour cabbage , my friend has żurek with uszka.

History / Questions regarding Barka [6]
Barka is mostly sang in churches or other gatherings when something is about John Poul II, it could also be at something about young priests, or seminars, or vocation , or at priest's anniversary of vows or when reading about events in song are read in mass, or at St Peter's day ,or just at random.

No, that link was about Przemyśl, which is east from Zakopane (all way to border east)
Are you interested in christianity before 966 or in Celts? because all the data suggests Celts were here between V BC and III AD /I know nothing It's what Internet says/
So you can find information about Calts in Małopolska/Podhale or about Christianity before Mieszko in that area. And what do you mean by Romanised?

Well, I never thought about it. I don't know any official sources, but some people suggest that we were first Christianized by Cyryl and Metody . You would find some relics from pre Mieszko's baptism (Poland became officially Christian in Roman way) but they are from Morawian or Czech rule of the place. (and they were supposed to be "Roman")
But those are Slavs not Celts

Zakopane literally means buried/hidden in earth (or snow) (but without grave context).
And while while it is possible there are even now descendents of those BC Celts living in this area, you shouldn't search for Celts if you want to find something about IX-X century in lands where there is now Poland,
I'd read about Great Morawia or Vistulans and Lendians instead

It's the first time I've seen or heard of croquettes at the 12 dishes list. Maybe it's because the are so usual , nobody thinks about them as something special, while not as traditional as pierogi. And not healthy like "ryba po grecku"- that I've seen on the diet 12 dishes lists.

I don't post like that but I think I would use either full sentence - in present or past (pieczemy ciasto z x , piekłyśmy/piekliśmy ciasto z x)
And you can translate "baking with x" as "pieczenie z X " (noun instead of participle).

Travel / Solo Traveler to Krakow in August - Random Questions/Thoughts [9]
1) Kraków is a tourist city. There are hundreds of East Asian tourists every day. Make sure you have a camera and take a picture every 10 seconds and you will fit in ( a stereotype of them).
2) I'd say learn few polite words and switch to English with anything more complicated than good morning/ thank you / etc.
3) Well I don't know about typical Krakow day. The way I see it it's usually do to work/ uni, go home, eat dinner, spend time with family/ sleep. But if you have more time you can see more:
- you can walk along a river
- you can visit less obvious historical places/ museums
- you can vistit Nowa Huta
- you can go for a one day trips to Wieliczka Salt Mine/ Auschwitz/Zakopane
- you can slow down and not rush to see all "must see" places
