Nie, nie wieder Austria!

Okay we did stay longer in austria than we did believe. The austrian people are so crazy unhappy and unfriendly. We did used a lot of time just of standing and no car is even stopping for asking where we wanna go. We where taken by foreign people and not by austria at any time. Some told me that the BILD newspaper did wrote in the 80th 3 weeks long cruel things about hitchhiking and nobody after that did take any hitchhikers (I will research later in Internet). Somehow we did make it to Villach closed to Slovenia. Now we have bought a train ticket to Ljubiana after standing on a petrol station on the highway passing 3000-5000 cars where not even one car tried to stop. Actual we have no host there but everything is better than staying one more night in austria. We did not plane to stay that long in this crazy land.

Upcoming GA

It's that time of year again: when the highly motivated get ready for the pilgrim journey. Yup, the GA is fast approaching and the interested will gather in Grimbergen on the 11th and the 12th of July to vote for board members and discuss the future of BeWelcome and BeVolunteer.

This, the 3rd GA, is my second time - missed it last year, unfortunately. I find it quite enjoyable, a nice excercise of democracy and team work. To me it's about affirming the basic values of BW: the openness, the inclusiveness, the democracy. So I hope to see a lot of people there, working together on a common project :)

Left to say is just that the GA is open for everyone with an interest in BW and/or BV. While some issues can be voted on by only BV members, discussion is typically open for everyone, even on the topics where only BV members can vote. For more info, check the forum thread by Claudia: http://www.bewelcome.org/forums/s632-BeVolunteer-General-Assembly-2009---BeWelcome-meeting

So, here I go - I start writing this blog at bewelcome - we'll see what for ;-)

 Currently 'm trying to get an invitation to Russia, business visa - doesn't look that easy and seemingly impossible to leave next week monday. We'll see.

 I'd love to take the ferry next week, Rostock->Helsinki ....

Okay ich mach eigentlich ja nicht so hetze aber jetzt erzähl ich euch mal was mir gestern passiert ist. Ich wollte meine Eltern noch mal schnell besuchen und hab mich für MfG entschieden. Hans-Günter hat mich dann aufgegabelt und es ging in rasanter Fahrt Richtung Osten. 3 andere Leute waren auch noch per MfG unterwegs. Der Typ ist gefahren wie eine gesenkte Sau. Bei Stau rechts überholen, bei 200 auf 5 meter ran fahren, ständig Staus umfahren und krasse Überholmanöver hinlegen auf der Landstrasse. Für mich war das zu viel. Ich will nämlich noch in die Mongolei kommen und nicht frühzeitig von der Leitplanke der A9 abgekratzt werden müssen. Ich bin dann auf einer Tanke auf der A9 raus, hab dem fünf Euro in die Hand gedrückt und hab mich erst mal zu meiner Schwester begeben die in der Nähe wohnt. Ich kann das auch nur noch mal an alle Autostopper der Welt raten, wenn ihr ein doofes Gefühl habt dann raus aus der Karre. so schnell wie möglich! Der Typ war ziemlich geknickt dann an der Tanke gewesen, ich hoffe er hat da was für sein Leben mitgenommen!
