Abgefahren!

Trampwettrennen



I found this competition somehow online..I don't even remember how. I had partner, but he got "sick" so I found another one...a guy from Belgium, very nice.



Hitchhiking Competition! The news was there!
(Apprently a shit station, but I'll take whatever I can get, fame, here I come)




We had to exchange a snow globe for something on our way...we got a polish lighter with pigs on it, score.



T(d?)rice and I hitchhiked twice with a bus. I really didn't think you could do that, but we did. The first time with a bunch of old traveling Germans and the second with a company of old men that were going to look at stuff for on loading and offloading ships? Or whatever...some middle aged man thing.



They were so nice, this guy introduced us and said where we're from (apparently I'm from Manhattan) and said that we weren't dangerous and since we were now so international we could play more Irish music. I think he also said that my camera was now broken after I took this picture.





Some polish drivers. I think the second guy couldn't speak German or English and was getting a little frustrated.



This guy definitely couldn't speak German or English...but we amused ourselves.



It says easy traveling...and boy was it.



Kowobcheksjdfkajwef was our destination...29 km, we were very excited...





We left Berlin around 10:30am I think at got there around 4:15.
WE CAME IN 2ND PLACE OMG.
(We had to take a picture of us with the clock.)



Camera team was there. The second to last team had to pull up at least three times for the right shot.



You can guess what we did next.



This looks slightly familiar....



Winners and losers.






Eating wurst from plastic wrapping, you know how it goes.



Ostsee.




Another girl that lives in Berlin hitchhiked back with me, I think it was faster than the way there. This was in the back of a blacked out van in Poland. The hole I tried to look out of looks a little like Australia.





Back in Berlin with cuts to prove I did something.

It was really great. I think I thought that hitchhiking would be harder than it was...I think I thought I'd have to wait much longer, but really we didn't have to wait much at all. I want to hitchhike more! Benni said, dass ich es gar nicht machen darf. But whatever. Him and his ridiculous concern for my safety. I really think it would be ok. But...safety first and everything. Or I dunno. We'll see. I just can't imagine anything happening to me between here and Nürnberg. I mean...of all places.

puch....will auch was auf Deutsch schreiben...aber es ist nicht wirklich fair...niemand der dieses liest kann Deutsch...vielleicht soll ich ein Deutsch und ein Englisch Blog haben. Hm....muss mal sehen ob ich lust habe. Ich könnte immer auf Deutsch schreiben und dann es durch ein Uebersezter ...etwas ...oder was auch immer...uuugh...so spät...
