Thank You, all the people who took me up!
Poland
My 'Zero-th' journey
It was in 2002, as I remember, and I wanted to go directly to Warsaw. I had
no city's name card, it was 12 o'clock. I remember 6 cars stopped with
proposition to take me to Oleśnica, but I refused and after 2 hours
I came back and went by train :-(

Well, that was joined journey. First to Warsaw, few days rest, then to
Hrubieszów.
I was at the road before sunset. There was cold and dark between 07:00
to 07:20.
At 07:40 a girl took me up, and I had to wait to warm up to say something.
We were going another way, to Poznan-Warsaw motorway, above Łódź.
I get out in Koło, on a crossroad on lights.
An approaching truck flashed with lights with side move.
It was great feeling. When you stay on a road and there moves
line of cars and one of them makes side move for me. He took me almost
to Warsaw.
After few days spent with Monisia I had to go home. And truth is what people
say: "close home - worse".
There was no problem to get to Lublin, but I had to wait a while to Zamość.
Young guy with awful cigarettes took me.
There was raining little and was quite late (16:00).
Guy with Opel Calibra came and took me to Werbkowice, very, very fast.
I remember car's engine which sounded like wild cat or similar.
I've cache a truck's driver going home in his Mercedes..

It was my first journey from Warsaw. I was little afraid, because it was the
first time, and the weather was rather bad. First I stand wrong way :-(,
secondly it was late (11:15), third: noone wanted to take me.
Some young guy driving to Łódź took me to Rawa Mazowiecka (100km from
Warsaw) and there was big problem there.
There were no place to stand on. Cars drive the way very fast. I had to
walk about 3 kms with wind at my back and sad in my eyes.
Happily truck stopped, with two guys inside! (driver and younger passenger).
They took me to Oleśnica (30km from Wrocław).
I went to the lights there, pull up my "Wrocław" card to a small van and
he took me, so it was quick.
It was already dark outside, it was 17:40.
I was in my room near 18:30, so I managed not to late too much for Go
classes.
It was my worst journey ever.

One of the fastest driving. Only 4 hours, and the funniest is that I arrive

back to my Monisia for her birthday. The craziest thing ever done. WazAAAA..
