As Marco is cycling for about 2 weeks through the winterly landscape of Poland now and keeping us up to date via the blog, we thought it would be interesting to see where our biking hippie hangs out.

For that purpose we equiped Marco, similar to migratory birds, with a little homing device, the Nokia N95 mobile. Every time he takes a picture with it, the N95 will save its GPS-Position.

That way, you can see the last impressions of Marcos trip on our new Map, linked with the particular tour episode.

I realise step by step that I just started to fulfil my dream exploring many cultures …
What for a bless to meet so friendly people in Poland hosting me in their house and sharing their life experiences.
I see that many persons should stop watching TV and stopping to shout propaganda. (I think these persons know that I mean only you and nobody else.) It shall be highest time for you to explore the world as well! Your own world is not enough to get an opinion about other cultures!

Regarding my last days …
I could spend the christmas time by a young family from Gdansk, PL and we enjoyed the time with too interesting discussions about life philosophies and cultures. These people were also my first interviewees. I am looking forward to publish my first video quite soon!
And today? I was cycling and all of sudden another Polish couple stopped me asking if I’d like to stay at their place overnight and using their PC for my internet work. Oh, what for a pleasure and another prove of Polish hospitality!

I cannot wait for my next adventures. I am looking forward to celebrate New Years Eve in another city in East of Poland!
Afterwards, I can finally write the first page of my “Book Of Wonders” which will be devoted to the Polish culture and approaches to life of people who I have met along my way.

What should I say now? Good night, cos’ I am tired and I should enjoy my warm bed before continuing my journey and fighting “against frozen carrotts” :o)

One World, No Borders!
Marco

…. Many thanks to …

@Inga & Marek, and Lucas (Gdansk, PL):
Light & Blesses for you & your future! I cannot say more than thousand times “thank you”. To stay at your place over christmas was more than only a cultural adventure. Your ambitions and life philosophies are an inspiration for my future life, for sure! :o)

@Agatha, Conrad (Elbag, PL):
Many thanks again for your hospitality. I really enjoyed to stay at your place overnight. You showed me once more a better picture of the Polish Culture. I hope to meet you a second time to get the chance for a “thank you” :o)

@Ossi alias The Reindeer:
A BIG thanks for your help finding the right mobile phone. The GPS pics work perfectly. (only a problem with the batteries; cold weather?) And lucky I am that we made these adventure trips 4 months ago. I am really happy to have now the perfect equipment which I need for these cold & wet conditions. Therefore, the last pic is only for you! :o) See ya soon in Finland!!! I need a lot of Gagala & Carrotts & Finnish Rock!

Before starting the journey we plan a press conference on the 12th Dec 2008 at 10.30 am. I was quite depressed not finding a place for this conference.

But oh lucky me, that I have just visited the bicycle shop Keirin! Mortimer (owner) offers his shop including the bar for our press conference :o)

A big thanks to Mortimer! And if you look for a bike shop with an honest & fair service in Berlin, don’t ask me, but look here:
