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 ;)

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).

Law / How long can you drive a car registered in another EU country in Poland? [3]

If you are in Poland and you bought the car on foreign plates, you have 30 days to register car in Poland. If you are from EU and you've got a car registered in EU I don't see any problem with driving in Poland ;) Just remember about your driving license, ID and registration document (of your car) together with liability insurance. Some people register new cars in Czech Rep. or Lithuania to pay less and they can drive without any problems.

About police hmmm, if you don't brake the traffic law, no one will care about you (unless you've got German plates, some Poles buys cars form Germany and they do not register them in Poland). You can meet many different foreign plates in Poland, e.g.: Swedish, Norwegian, Russian, Belarussian, Ukrainan, Lithuanian, Latvian, Estonian, Slovak, Czech, Spanish, British, German etc. Fines are the same for everyone, do not try to bribe police officer (you pay fines via bank transfer, if you are not sure how to do this, you can go to post office, they take about 10pln for that) unless you know someone.

If you want to register a car, check this: europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/vehicles/registration/formalities/poland/index_en.htm

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.

Sophia Olszowy = Zofia Olszowy (Ol-sho-vy)

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 £).

Life / Which is the best credit card to get in Poland? [10]

Banks in Poland are getting worse and worse. But people say that Bank Millennium, Nest Bank and Idea Bank are the best.
I've got card in BZ WBK and I don't recommend it.
Now I mainly use mBank and I'm happy with it. I'm getting cashback from bought petrol on BP.

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.
