Food / I SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM - the best ice cream shop in Poland? [34]

So I was googling Baskin Robbins shops and it turns out.... THERE AREN'T ANY IN POLAND!! In fact, it's only available in the UK. I'm surprised mostly because it's an extremely popular brand here.

So my question is
What's the best Ice Cream and Ice Cream Cakes shop in Poland?
If it's not a chain store, tell us where the shop is! :D

Life / Showing respect and appreciation by Polish people, forms of greetings in Poland. [31]

How do people show respect to one another in different situations? I'm not talking about one specific setting, I want to know many possible situations.

For example, in Japan they bow to one another, they call each other specific nicknames such as san/sama/chan, etc. Elders in a group or seniors are referred to as senpai. In my culture, kids kiss their parents hands and forehead, couples kiss each others forehead in front of their children to show their respect and appreciation to each other. we call people after their first born, for example if your son is Ali, your nickname is Abu Ali and the mother is called Umm Ali. This is a way to show respect when talking to strangers and also a way of intimacy and closeness among friends. In fact, my uncle kisses his elderly mother's hands and feet every time he goes to visit her.

I want to know more about these things. What do Polish people do normally to show respect to one another in different situations? Please tell me stories from your life and friends and family :) your habits and culture in regard of showing respect and appreciation.

Law / Visa to Poland? Invitation by a Polish student? [21]

So I was going to be invited to Poland by my girl friend but I don't think she can... can she? She's a student so I honestly don't know it's possible to get Zaproszenie by a Polish student?

My other option is to go on a tourist visa but I don't know how to arrange that. Any ideas?
