Guests & World Cup

Hey, didn't update this again for a while.... I've managed to sort out the old business so that it makes just enough, so that I can keep on travelling without doing too much. Which is good news for the Round the World Trip which will start in October. (not round the world with 80 gays, that's djdirect's schedule)

Had some interesting guests in town, unfortunately I managed to miss "kenkenfujita", he's the japanese dude who hitchhiked all through Africa, Middle East etc in insane countries like Congo, Angola and Yemen.. he popped into town on his way to Russia but I was out of the city at the time, camping in Zegrze with my guest "urg" who spent a couple of days, drinking beer, viewing the "centre of warsaw" as he calls it - which basically was rural places slightly outside of the city. There was talk of doing some old fashioned fishing but it never materialised.

The camping was good fun, or perhaps it was the Polish gin.. (evil Lubuskie).. our neighbours were insanely pissed guys listening to dodgy techno and trance, talking about as Sylwia put it... "trying to find girls for bad reasons".. hmm to be fair the whole camp ground was quite inhabited by chavs. One of the points of this camping trip was to see how the dog would survive in a tent, apart from initially ramming his head into the opening of the tent and then panting all over my face, he actually seemed to understand and my clumsiness was the only thing that would destroy it.

An enormous thunderstorm took place at night, which I liked.. Sylwia was terrified though, apparently it wasn't my best idea to put up the tent within a metre of an electrical plant.... well I went back to sleep and woke up without singed eyebrows and horizontal hair, which is more that can be said for that stupid american fuck Adam, who flew back to Poland (yes, that's right - not Hong Kong) from China just to get a Chinese visa again and then had to cancel his flight because his visa would only come a few hours after his flight left. The total and utter fuckwit now intends to teach in Turkey, which is without a doubt the last we will here from him. He may have a moustache like Ataturk once had but he has more chance of becoming a kebab.

Now then, Urg.. aka Patrick my guest, was an all-round good bloke, who enjoyed a mad night out with insane dancing and 20 beers a day, at first sight he looks a very smiley fella but I've come to realise, he is a bit of a mentalist, who intends on cycling through Central Asia in relatively cold months (November, December) and on through the Himalayas, finally finishing in Singapore.. now I only cycled the bike recently for between 15-20km and I can tell you that his arse will be in endless pain after such a trip. I forgot to mention that he is carrying more baggage than a saharan truck.

Basically he stopped here in Warsaw because both his tent and bike had broken (he cracked the frame, the bloody elephant), fortunately after a lot of time-wasting in Polish shops, with the polish branch of Trek and the stupid american bloke who is replying to his questions.. he seems to have sorted it out. It will take one month though.

The World Cup - Polish team was an utter disaster.. the Germans are progressing in a serious und sheize manner, England are playing poorly and still progressing. Spain and Brazil aren't doing too badly but GHANA.. what a team! They're great aren't they?!

P.S.
