| − | == Remarkable Moments ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | * I almost got robbed by three freaks in [[Chile]]. They picked me up at the [[Ruta 5]] and after half an hour I got suspicious. I realized that their talking was a big lie and it seemed that they want to rob me. In a convenient moment, I told, that I got robbed in [[Concepcion]] after the Earthquake in February 2010 (what I seriously experienced) and need to go to [[Santiago]] to borrow money from a friend. Luckily I did not have a big backpack with me, so my lie turned out to be working. In [[La Pintana]] (the poorest and most dangerous neighborhood) in [[Santiago]] they finally kicked me out of the car.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Hitchhiking from [[Holyhead]] to [[London]] was fun, since the driver was a famous irish soccer player (although I did not know him) and I got a lift in a nice Mercedes.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * A crazy guy somewhere on the [[Ruta 5]] in [[Chile]] picked me up and drove with 160km/h, overtaked cars from the right and finally showed me an exceptionally big amount of cocaine. I am sure he was on drugs during this ride.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * My longest ride with almost 1500km. I guy gave me a lift and as he had to go far, I endet up driving the car for some time as well. He offered me to stay at his house for the night and paid for food and drinks. Next day a friend of him needed to go to the exact same destination as I wanted to go and I could go with him - also driving the car part time.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Well, there are numberless moments more, since something special happens all the time. People tried to convince me to the islam, I positively hitchhicked within a car (holding the sign out of the window while I was in a car who gave me a lift), got free food and drinks, was kicked out of a car in the night somewhere on a highway where the cars passed by with 120km/h.
