As I am having my TRÉS petit dejeuner and shyly leafing through Lonely Planet guide Amelie has given to me, I am delivering you a list of do's and don'ts for a hitch hiker, especially a female one:
1. While focusing on avoiding kidnapping, rape etc, don't forget that security is a broader term. Yesterday I almost got hit by a car when, having taken a picture of a license plate of a guy that was offering me a ride, I ran blindly for my backpack.
2. Avoid the rides with people you are not able to communicate with - especially if u are a girl, they are two males and they talk with each other the ride can seem pretty long.
3. Take your phone and download the navigation app.
4. Three t-shirts just are NOT enough. Come on! Then, reconsider if you want to take t-shirts at all. You need something light, easily drying overnight and if you are heading south,possibly bright. Learn from the experience of a proud owner of three black/navy blue tops, two of them t-shirts.
5. Take something to cover your head against the sun - I've COVERED this one!

A punkt szósty? Mam nadzieję, że przerwałaś wyliczanie, bo właśnie zawołano cię na posiłek albo bal w ambasadzie, a nie z powodu kosy pod żebrem? Ryjek :)
ReplyDeleteHehe. Przeklęte wifi. A teraz szczele se szampana, ot co (a potem nie będzie za co wracać)
DeleteI wonder if we ever find out what the mysterious point number 6 is? :-o
