Many cold greetings from North Poland and a Happy New Year :o)

Sorry, as normal … not a lot of time to write long stories … Anyway, I had a great Polish New Years Eve party! So see the pics; more impressions than 1000 words …Anyway, I broke my camcorder 2 days ago

So new video documentations for Poland. Lucky me, that I have made already many records incl. my interview.
I will get a new camcorder in Lithuania.Take care!! It’s cold outside; be careful

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.

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!

Anyway, strange but true, I have not realised yet that I am on the way to fulfil my dream.
I need some days more for relaxing and dreaming …
I am now in Poland and many people look at me as I would be a stranger with my Lowrider-Trike. No I am not an alien of a different planet. I am Marco from Germany :o)
Let’s see … should go back on the road … want to cycle to the Baltic Sea. Need a shower and fresh fish….

Now he’s on the road !
Marco has left Berlin on Sunday, December 14th at 3 o’clock pm.

Many thanks to all who came to our farewell party and show their support with that. Especially but to all those who honoured Marco and the project on Sunday as well, when he started in front of the Brandenburger Gate in Berlin.

We are now waiting eagerly for Marco’s first report on the journey !

Ride On ! We are with you !

Martin

Hi folks,
It’s almost done. On Saturday there will be the farewell/start-up party in Berlin.
I hope you’ll be there numerously because we set up a nice program for you ! Anyhow, what I would like to announce :

If you will not be able (do not know how this might be possible ;), to make it to Berlin on Saturday - send us a short video comment on the start. This will then be shown on Saturday to support Marco mentally.  So its your chance to become a part of the expedition as well.

Simply, post it as a comment or send it to me via mail martin@berlin-hanoi-2008.com
We would be very happy !

Finally something personal :
Saturday will, unfortunately, be a cold day. That’s why we’ll serve you fire !

Faulée Taubée - Fireperformances will give a unique show at home. On the party. If you where ever asking yourself, what we do elsewhere - there you can check it out.

A short teaser on our current show is hear:

I love to see you on Saturday

We are highly blessed that the Reggae-DJs Tundisa Movement from Soest (DE) are aboard the Berlin-Hanoi 2008 ship! They will provide the right vibe & spirit for our project. Their first operation will be to our FareWell Party at DubClub Berlin on the 13^th Dec 2008!

Tundisa’s column …

=================================

Tundisa Movement, which means: Spread love, has been helping to push reggae and dub music forward in Germany since 2005. Ina strictly Roots and Culture style we have already played & collaborated with lots of Reggae Soundsystems and also artists.
Due to Dancehall overload to the German Reggae scene, we’ve focussed on Reggae and dub music from then till now. So Tundisa will deliver you a strictly vinyl selection from 60s, Jamaican Ska over 70s Roots and Dub music to current releases… a nice and easy summary of the 50years long Reggae music history, far from the hyper hardcore Dancehall scene.
Between the usual offbeat pattern and loads of bass vibrations, we also make sure that the lyrics remain the original message in Reggae music which means: be humble and wise in this crazy world.

On Marco’s FareWell Party at DubClub Berlin we’ll be featuring rasta singer / musician Samson Benji. He will uplift our DJ gig with live vocals and Saxophone!

We are truly blessed and very thankful to be a part of the Berlin-Hanoi 2008 bike project and we wish Marco Guidance and all the best on his challenge of adventure!!
