Day three
..Day three ...alredy??? ...i have to say that ..time passed so quickly this days ..
Yea ...now i remember ..day three started .. similar with day two ...a little head ache beacause of the party of course :D .. dam serbian and their magic potion :). I wake up fast ... get dressed proper for the road ... said good by to Ioana and to the other guys ..and start walking. I tooked my breakfast in park. After that ..i wait like 10 min in a station for a bus. In that time near the station was a guy who reapaired his car ...and after finishing the job ..he ask me " Go to the center?" ..so i got a lift to the center of Pecs.
In the city center ..last pics ..i buyed some post cards ..and i ask 3-4 person how to get to the next good spot for HH to Budapest. I find a bus who get me a good ride. I wrote "BP" on a card and i wait for a car to stop near an gas station. At one moment on car came form the other side ..and tooked me. The driver passed me ... but he came back to get me a a lift(THATS A NICE PERSON). He wasnt a real hungarian( he was an afro person - THX REMI) with his daughter going to BP(and listening Shakira) . He made some km in plus to let me near to the center of BP(again very nice). Then i sent an sms to Noemi(also a HC member) with the last powers of my batery. Waiting for Noemi i visited The Basilica of Sf. Stephan. With Noemi i visited also the Square of Heroes .... and some interesting places. After that we went to the dormitory where she was living.
The evening was the best thing about BP i went with Noemi and her friends to an open air party(at Zold Pardon).. not before drinking some beer,wine, vodka and champagne :D. Great atmosphere at Zold Pardon ..as a proof we went back home at 6 in the morning.

Day two
...so after some vodka ..i wake myself ..quite hard ..but i had to do it still fast ..our host was going to work at 9 ...or 9 and something. After changing mails with the guys ...we part..the other travelers goes to Romania, Csaba goes to work ..and i go ..to explore ..i walk around ...2 hours in Szeged ...very nice city.. i recomand it. He tooked me ..like half an hour to go out from the city and find the good spot to HH to Pecs. Because i didnt know how HH goes in Hungary ...i tooked the first car that taked me ..and the guy gave me a lift to Baja. From Baja another one to Batasek..after that another one to Mohacs. In Mohacs a Romanian guy gaved me a lift. He was so kind ...he wanna go to Budapest but for me ...he made some km in plus to reach Pecs(THX MAN IF U SEE THIS!!). In Pecs .... other adventures ...here i met my girlfriend ( hi Ioana :) ). She was the in a ...summer school or something like this. I lived in a tension in there cause i was there a little bit ...illegal .. but finaly was very nice ...we went to a party ...with lot of palinca and other drinks....
Day one!
So... thursday morning i started ...wit a lots of hopes.
I stard my hitch hiking day with an Dacia Logan until Sibiu. From there a truck to Deva From Deva another truck to Arad. This truck had a little accident (another truch broke the mirror and for this reason i loosed one hour and a half). From Arad i hh with another truck until Nadlac .. a smal town/village at the border with Hungary. Because i reached prety late the custom point ...(18:30) i was i little nervous. Here things wasn't so good ... nobody was willling to cross me the border. Here i also met a guy coleg of mine at a karate class (his father was a truck driver) but they couldnt take me because they where alredy 3 in the truck.
Finaly i had to pay to some guys 10 euro to give me a ride to Szeged.. where i arrived at 9:20 after the hungarian hour(10:20 after the Romanian hour). Lucky me Csaba ( from HospitalityClub ) came to meet me even at this hour. He was meeting also with 2 person from swissland and 2 from slovenia ..so it was a really travellers meeting. we put oure backpacks down in the centre of Szeged and we eat something and had some beers....
At Csaba apartment we end the day with some vodka with ice ...so ..after 15 hours of travelling the day was ending pretty optimistic :D

CS crashed!!! :(
Short introduction
YES ppl ...i just find out ...something sad happened in the world www.couchsurfing.org has crashed. For those who dont know what represent CS i'll introduce u now in the world of ..hospitality..
There are few websites who are promoting the idea that ppl from all over the world offer free acomodation for travelers. The best two sites are ...or where www.hospitalityclub.org (HC ) and www.couchsurfing.org (CS ).
"What is the Hospitality Club?
Our aim is to bring people together - hosts and guests, travelers and locals. Thousands of Hospitality Club members around the world help each other when they are traveling - be it with a roof for the night or a guided tour through town. Joining is free, takes just a minute and everyone is welcome. Members can look at each other's profiles, send messages and post comments about their experience on the website."
This is the presentation of HC on the their website... is a very cool think ...i am a member of both sites ... and i've been hosted once in Rousse (Bulgaria).. and it's a great way for travelling and knowing ppl.
CS crashed!!! :(
And now ...talking about today's subject CS website crashed ...the explanation sound like this: ]
"Dear CouchSurfers,Two days ago CouchSurfing experienced what could be described as theperfect storm. The database administrators we hired made two criticalmistakes. First, we had a major, avoidable hard drive crash. Secondly,the incremental back-ups weren't executed in the correct manner, andtwelve of our most important data files didn't survive.I have been working non-stop trying to repair the data, but as difficultas it is for me to say, it has become clear that certain essentialpieces are not recoverable. This crash happened at a particularlyvulnerable time, in a transition between two back-up methods. If thecrash had happened a week ago, or next week, we would have had adifferent outcome.It is with a heavy heart that I face the truth of this situation.CouchSurfing as we knew it doesn't exist anymore."
