On sunny yesterday, I couldn't leave Morioka.
The weather forecast says it will be big storm tonight, thoguh, I started hicthhike,
the entrance of highway was much farer by foot than I expected,
so it was already afternoon, besides not enough space for drivers to stop.
Dark clouds and some rain comes and goes,
more harder situation is always more exciting,
in my travel I always had been feeling so, it's my nature.
3 PM, finally expensive car picked me up
but he didn't enter highway although I asked,,
After for a while he noticed his misunderstanding,
but we're already heading to his home's Akita ,it's west,(my direction is south)
he says I can enter Akita' highway then join to main highway
but it's quite big detour, must be change to night soon,,
The traffic was busy, so he changed the plan and took U-turn
（,,to be continued)


at Shiwa SA (Service Area), was dropping tiny rain but
a driver who drives between Sendai to Morioka everyday accepted me
"If your looks were more weird,I wouldn't accept you."
Only one high-school travel to South Korea made him dtermine
he doesn' want to go abroad again, though, he got interested in what I have been doing,Thanks.
18:00 : He was heading to his company and home in Sendai,dropped me off PA (Parking Area)
before Sendai but "In worst case,you can phone me until 20:00 to call me here
and you can stay at my house." Oh I wanted to have the first surfing driver's couch in Japan but maybe I would catch next car,,
.20 min.later, next truck driver drove me till over Sendai, he suggested me to think about live in Sendai.
.Just after I separated the driver and began to ask parking car' people,the first driver answered OK.
He came from Niigata to Sendai for job some days ago,and today he has to arrive till Hamamatsu for tomorrow's job. But finally the storm has come, rain disturbs window's sight and wind shakes car. In the middle of Fukushima province, he parked car to rest and nap for a while,,me too.
.22:40, just before we arrived to parking near
my favorite song of "RC succession"

,,Oh I already have forgotten English, and I'm still feeling incompatibility about food,,I'm not sure When I will write about the incident at Croatian border.

. Started dependent on home of Yama-chan and his parentts. in countryside of Tochigi-prefecture. Such nice natural air though,Fukushima is just neighbour prefecture.

.As I was working as nursing care service in Japan before travel, the family are expecting my help there, but seems they are done it well. Besides I'm eating here much, but can't sleep well because anxiety not about future,more about past. 

.I already got many invite of hosting from old friends in several different regions, so I shoul;d travel all of Japan with hitchhike and CSing? although so many CS-hosts' profile are showing "prefered gender of guest : female",,such phenomenon is only in Japan

.MAYBE my first (not music but) talk live will realize on this Saturday 19th,

in the event of traveler, even if my turn will be just for a short time.

And my music live also was decided to be done on this Thursday 17th, 

in front of Futaarasan-shrine of Utsunomiya, from 5 PM.

Tokyo

I will write here later, while I'm alive,,

8,Nov.
14:00 at Narita airport,
meeting again with Yama-chan but his hippie clothes seems a traveler even more than me. He drove me but uncomfortable that cras are running left side on the road (it's Japan). So many Chinese-character is everywhere, like China!(it's Japan). In convenience store called "konbini", I had a little culture shock! the price of "bento" 398yen and "onigiri" 105yen or "kan-coffee" 120yen haven't changed yet at all ! ,,What a stable economy,, He welcomed me to Japan by Thai food restaurant, its friendly girl says Japan is OK but now Thailand is not OK by flood.
.Hitchhiker was standing on the road with white paper "TOKYO" ,Wao! besides he's a Japanese guy (I can't remember whether I have seen Japanese hitchhiker in Japan so far or not?) He was very polite as usual Japanese,but talkative,and insist strongly to drop him off at best point for him, and asked me not to write his real name to my blog as usual Japanese. Anyway Thanks for giving me feeling of travel on my 1st day of Japan.
19:00 Ootaku, Tokyo,
Finally I came back to the same apartment where I said goodbye to my sister's family and started this journey in summer of 2007 but, my sister opened the door as if we're not like that we haven't meeting for a long, like usual daily welcome,,,and we didn't hug as Japanese custom. And there was my niece whom I have been dreaming about for a long time, but we're Japanese,no hug.

9, Nov.
.I phoned to passport office in Tokyo, but "You might not able to normal passport that can travel freely anymore." Too much shocking, I nearly died,,,but then I've found it's about the term during depositting passoport to foreign ministry for 7 months.
.I'm not a smoker but the price of tobacco raised almost twice as much as when I was a smoker! 420yen (,,but it's still much cheaper than many western Europe).
.At Ginza (one of fascinating district of Tokyo), I've found a white woman who seemed to be getting lost with a map, so I talked and led her till the place but she was from Serbia! I was planning to go there after Croatia! I nearly began to weep, it was really Drago mi ye, Dobar dan!
.Since 2007,my possport have been always held with body except in shower time or swimming,but finally I gave the country it, or, I just have become "a traveler without passport", if I was OK not to feel "here is Japan"?!

10, Nov.
.Cleaning rooms with sister, making Japanese "curry rice" since 4 years ago.
.By exhausting from police and court incident, or 2-nights' flight, or culture shock in Japan, or sudden total change of foods? I don' know why but my health condition is bad,,of course.
.Trying to pull up yself to join CS-meeting tonight for make aquaintance as I can for my survival in Japan, but I can't leave my small nephew alone, so I haven't go out today eventually. Yes I'm more staying indoors person basically.

11, Nov.
I want to began next travel from neoghbour country,especially Russia. Information of Internet,,Oh,basically visa doesn't cost? but anyway invitation letter is necessary, so practically it costs as I don't have any chance to have someone who can make the letter except agency.
.Sakharin---visa is unnecessary but only by group tour of ferry round-trip, so practically it costs anyway. No CSers are there.
.Kuril islands---not impossible to travel by boat. But anyway I need Russian visa for it,and as it's unusual place for travel,so it costs. And by strategig position,Japanese goverment doesn't recommend to go there.If someone Japanese tourist had trouble there, Northern Territories dispute between Japan and Russia would become more difficult.
.Kamcyatka---there are airplanes from Moscow or other Russan cities but no route of car or train. It must be terrifically great nature trip but once Japanese photographer died there by brown bear's attack.
.North Korea---possible to enter by air or by train from China,but impossible indivisual travel.

12, Nov.
.Since I was deported by Crpatian border police and court, many people whom I don't know send me mail, mostly via CS. Thanks but How did they get to know me??
.8 month ago,when I inquired after my family or old friends who is living in Toohoku, they answered me it's alright except Nagai-san who was living 22km from Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, suddenly he and family were forced to become refugee. Today we could connect by phone, now he and his family are living near Sendai, I was relieved but he's still attending same job-place everyday,,How about radioactive on him??

.At Harajuku sation, accidntally I met again with French tourist who was next seat in my airplane!!

.I went to live-house to see band' performance of my old-mate Kishi but at the entrance,
I was asked to pay fee 3,000 yen, so I couldn't enter there.

13, Nov.
.I left my sister's home again. Yama-chan came again to drive me and carry many cardboard boxes of my old luggage called garbage, with Memminco,, so What for did I fly from Greece in August if I could meet her here!?
.We 3 visited to Taayan who actually changed my life in 1997 by opening the door of travel. She had one boy 4 yeas ago but now it multiplied to 3 boys. Her father-in-law wandered the world for 2 years in 60's,at that time Japanese government didn't allow the tourist to bring more than 500 dollars to abroad, and he was deported by some country!?
.While my mates were going to concert in Tachikawa, I went to cemetery in Takao (the same place as Shuuji Terayama was buried). Finally I met the gravestone of my most beloved person.
.I moved from Tokyo to countryside of Tochigi.

I slept on the street in Zagreb, 10 years ago.

.A driver whom I hitchhiked said "You sent me CS-mail" !?
.Finally I reached to ZAGREB !!
but it's eastern surburb, Sesvete.
---At Lebanese restaurant, CS-host introduced me to her friend but

13, Oct. already leaving Zagreb
.since 2008,I have been living without treat my teeth problems, but
finally I started to treat them in Bergana of Slovenia! even if it's not in Slovenia.
It was the most excited incident,so I can't describe well, even if I can.
But meeting new people were continued unexpectedly,
besides CS-host is still everyday new,but I could fight my way through with smile
because I was exciting,,,
but  I couldn't be online for 2 nights.
14, Oct. Samobor---Zabok
Surely I started hitchhike from 8am from Zagreb but I couldn't catch a car all day,
I just walked over 10km,I was discouraged much by myself,
then in village Bistra,I borrowed phone from a family in house
to call to today's CS-host 20km far from there 8pm, but
a family invited me tea,then meal. a daughter and boyfriend were quite interesting,
family also welcomed me warmly, but why I didn't ask hosting?
then they offered me to drive till CS-host' town Zabok 10:30pm.
But host went to bed soon,and I couldn't use Internet because it's late time.
My exhausted body and mind was healed much village'family,then
suddenly I was forced sleep although I was exciting, so I got depressed totally.
15, Oct. Zabok

19, Oct.
,,,I have meeting many people who is facing computer all the time by addiction of facebook,
but I haven't met someone who is facing computer all the time although don't use facebook like me.
Finally my host and me had almost no contact for 22 hours,I left there 3pm.
.I have taken radioactivity for photo of teeth in clinic though, I had to exchange money to Croatian kuuna
because I had not enough kuna, even if it's for having radioactivity!?
.Meeting Japanese someone sometimes maybe important for me,
to not forget that I'm slightly forgetting Japanese language,,
.Check CS-mail at McDonald, finally no one answered me about tonight, many CSers sent me mail "Welcome my place anytime" but without phone number, or with phone number but can't connect.
.At green park inside center of city, a guy and a girl were rounding and rounding, they taught me squat place,
Thanks for them and squat place!
.many youth were chilling in squat's bar, but I'm shy, and tired mentally, I don't want to admit that my travel is wasting time,because it's equal as my life is wasting? but can't help myself to admit it.
Back again to McDonald, I didn't want to make my Zagreb days for only e-mail, though, one after another some gladful mail came, someone from my 2008' memory, from 2010, even if it's from just last place from Zagreb but I feel it's a few month ago's memory,, Today I hadn't communicate with real people much though, eventually I was so encouraged by mails, people don't know How much traveler would be glad to recieve any message from old friends. ---written at MacDonald

but I care John Lennon's short life was only 40 years because I haven't done nothing yet,,
.Thanks CS'hosts for driving more than half of today's my trip,
then easy hitchhike,,it's not enough to feel that I traveled today.
.It's OK that CS-hosts drive me to hill in the night for drink for hours, disgusting situation is normal for me.
.As long as it's not written their address and "Which date is better to host me?"
I can't reply to CS'hosts' invite answer'mail, although I already have gotten many invites from Zagreb,
and also most remarkable interesting invite but "If you could come within 3 days"!?
,,CSing is always something trial for me, if I had spent time for 24 hours per day only for sending e-mails to organize it, I would surf to all of them in best order but,,
10, Oct. Svt.Ivan Zelina
Starting hitchhike 2:30pm would be late
---After only 1 car's ride,I was stuck in the country-road, I walked through some village---a woman got angury and cursed and kicked me out only she heard my word "tourist" !? but several houses
neighbour gave me chiken and bread---after it got dark very few trafiic, but as usual, soon after I had given up and determined to start knocking doors in village,a car drove me to
Marija Bistrija
why I came here,not only because I expected to stay in monastery but also my first CS-host in this year was in bistrica of Romania.
---but anyway it was impossible to stay in monastery,
8pm but ghost town, I changed my mind to continue to hitchhike to my CS-host in Zagreb, but anyway almost no traffic, changed mind again to knock on doors,,but houses' lights are already were turned down,,,
(to be continued)

---so I arrived Vukovar over 1 hour late to meeting of 3pm with a CSer---
---I had no enough motivation for visiting more eastern town and knocking doors,so I hictthiked to Osijek from sunset time after 7pm---every driver dropped me off in the middle of nowhere, many times I almost determined mind to sleep on the grass. Really I felt I'm wasting my time like my favorite Greek CS-host Vasiliki asked me. A driver stopped in darkness and asked me just "country? (your) country?" then gone.---
---10:30pm to edge if Osijek, 0:30am to Mirela's house. I got into slump, I imagined to stop travel and visit Japan or elsewhere,,although I'm not interested in it,,

Finally rain fall down.

20, Sep. Osiek
.Writing postcard in library, Sorry friendly reception-guy to let him worry me by asking couch.
.Glad meet with Karla again,she invited me to lunch.memorable taste of pashutashuta,and memorable her story "there are many baby-birth at the same time as my son,and they are telling me often something will happen our world."
.Rainy, and late start to hitchhike to Vincovci---only some km till suburb village Burjest,then got to dark. motivation was low, and I wanted to join yoga lesson again even if I don't have host in Osijek anymore, so I tried to hitchhike both way to Vincovci and back to Osijek---a man appeared from the house behind my standing point and rode a car "Can you drive me till Osijek?" "OK, but where will you stay tonight?" "I don't know. " "OK, I will call ask to my friends."---

21, Sep. Osiek
Thanks McDnald for so many days.
From 1pm, at he same point hitchhike again,
 a driver picked me up and said ",,,Are you Ushi?" !?
to CS-host at village Jarmina near Vincovci.

22, Sep. Vinkovci
nice town, nice small central park,but What a  nasty eyes the school-girl throw me?
---back to Osijek by Tomislav's drive,
surfed him again,Osijek again and again.

23, Sep.
go to Dakovo without host---
---in the village, an old guy with liquor talked to me so we chatted for quite a while even if I couldn't understand him nothing.
---Peter picked me up and invited me to his house gladly, he is woodencut artist by heatcutter. His wife and he talked with me much,although they spoke by German, mine was English,something advanced conversation.
His wife made simple meat-sauced pasta but its taste amazed me.
Peter drove me till Dakovo and "you can stay Dakovo or his house(?) for 1 month."!?
.Cathedral of Dakovo is just amazingly gigantic,although it's a small city. You can see it by Google photo or else but you can't feel how magnificent.
---On the map,I've found a village called "music", so I decided to try to go there even if its pronounce is not same as English' "music"---but it was sunset time, soon I gave up hitchhike.
---after 8pm, started asking people for hosting.
first one "But I'm also tourist here."
second one "OK, to my house" !?!?

24, Sep.
I know my formula that
when I gave up hitchhike, someone would pick me up.
Today also I was stuck on the road of village until it gets dark but
when I began to think about to sleep somewhere in village, someone drove me till
Slavonski Brod.

25, Sep Slavonski Brod
.Soon after I woke up after 12:00 noon, big lunch of meat by Katarina's father has started.
.Sava river is wide like as Drava, walking riverside in golden sunset hour is always my favorite.
It has been 1 month since I entered to Croatia, but the border bridge between Bosnia is just in the city,
so if I wanted, I can leave Croatia anytime from here.

26, Sep. Slavonski Brod
.It has been 50 months since I started travel.
Sava riverside' view is really nice, library is wide and nice but Internet costs a lot, I left the city.
---Pozega at 5pm, no connection with CSer who wants meet me but can't host.
strolling around small river and railway bridge,,,there's green hill over city,,I think every Croatian city is nice.
.Internet is free in library, but it's after 6:30pm already sunset, accidentally I remembered the existence of
"Hospitality Club",,Oh,there's a profile of member not in Pozega but in the town 15km far with phone number, I asked librarian to lend me phone and show the number but she said
",,Oh, it's my friend !" ?!

 27, Sep. Pozega
---9am in the central square "Excuse me, Are you Ushi ?"
then interview with local-news journalist was done, then after an hour I separated him,
the article was already published to here :
librarian Irena guided me nice old building's library nearby hill of "old city",
I continued Internet job till 4pm,,

CS again

1, Sep.
(,,a sequal)
.Feet bathing at Drava river in Donja Dubrava, it's edge of Medimurje,
Oh I wanted to be this county more! but CS-host couple are waiting for me,
it's been 12 days since I separate from CS-hosts, it's rare.
---by "very welcome Japanese friend!" trcuk driver, arrived hosts's house in
.Koprinivca
Renaissance festival

.Very very very interesting and inspirational couple,
but mmm something "official" feeling of visiting to CSer since 12 days' blank,
and still difficult to write about CS-host to this blog as I can write reference on CS.

2, Sep. Koprivnica
.1 year passed since I entered my favorite Transnistria.
.My travel's 1500th day,,,but
even if I counted all of days of my travel included last one ('00-'01),
it's still only 13% of my whole life,,,Why didn'I start travel soon after when I was born?!
.Hosts' next guest didn't appeared, so I stayed one more night,,

3, Sep. Koprivnica
Yeah, it's like watching shooting of the movie Lord of the Rings :)
(,,,photos' update will come soon,,)
.another CS-host here didn't answered me,after all even more night,,

4, Sep. Koprivnica
.It's been for a while since last time I stayed for 3 days in same host,so I feel dull to move
but I can't extend it anymore,and I should explore next somewhere even without next CS-host,
I left host in afternoon,,,but only after few hundreds meter, stopped and stayed at the bench for hours with sun-tanning,,then travel to nowhere,already it's almost sunset time though.
.a car drove me around 10km to village Plavsinac,soon I asked people near the house along road,
a Gypsy woman asked me cigarette and 2 girls without English speaking accepted? invited? me to the chair at backyrad of house,there are many children,they asked me money and I refused, girls phoned to their father about me but the answer was No, so I stood up but they stopped me nad offered me not only water but friedfish and bread so I started to eat with neglecting children's asking money and a woman's asking cigarette but they asked me to show inside my shoulder bag persistently so I finally left befiore I finished to eat,with refusing their asking money for food. ,,,I can't forget a woman's strongly straight gaze' eyes to me without nothing wall toward foreigner,with giving baby milk without nothing shyness of exposing her breast,,but but perhaps I might be wanting to meet such "pure" eyes even if it's not pleasant one,,
Anyway I failed to surf to Gypsy people again, everytime it ends up like today's case,I haven't succeeded it so far,,perhaps it's one of my missions??

.Few houses without street-lights with slight smell of domestic animals in the middle of countryside. For them, Chinese(actually Japanese)traveller's sudden appearance at the door may be frightening though, their way of refusal were rather polite and calm, it's also different from Greece.
.The edge of row of houses in nice small (private?)forest, there's nothing but just fields after there,until next town of few km further, a girl received my asking by sincere way but then she got answer from her parents No because she's not living alone, besides there's her small daughter---after her fiance came, subject was changed by them like "but Croatia is not friendly to your travel, capital Zagreb has even racist group,," I said "but we don't meet such people everzday." they agreed. I surpressed to speak too much, because mostly general subject or opinion are not wrong but just it doesn't suit on me, and I will continue to answer to people's asking ",,but you can't travel without money, How can?" no matter how many times more.
.It's same I don't have host in anywhere, so I asked fiance to drive me till his home, Bjelovar.
He seemed to excite to meet me and told me about his life,Croatian life, with trying to remember some English words with night driving, I just concentrated to help him for both.
Bjelovar around 11pm, the roads of center of city are shape of cross stripes,quit tidy, he suggested me to sleep "the winner of most beautiful city park prize" central park. Thanks,Yes, I slept at the bench og there.

5, Sep
.At Bjelovar' library.
.My favorite Finnish CSer who goes to Albania sometimes and wanted to meet me there,
sent me mail from Kosovo to meet me. But I wouldn't be there within 10days,,
.free Internet in library,,,,
.Daruvar
.Every time when I have occasion to be able to be online for long hours, I want to reply hundreds of pending e-mails finally, but I watched youtube 0-4am about Japanese top comedian Shinsuke Shimada who resigned lately suddenly by scandal.

6, Sep
Daruvar
,,It's still difficult to write about CS-host to this blog as I can write reference on CS.
.Every time when I have chance to beable to be online for long hours, I want to write my "almost pending" blog as I can, but I watched youtube till 5am about Japanese king comedian Beat Takeshi (later he became famous in the world as film director Takeshi Kitano).

Osijek
.my host said it's a dead city. nice green path near old town Tvrda but nobody there in the afternoon. host says it's so hot but I wear summer sweater,it's comfortable weather for me,I just hope the temperature won't going down fast, Greek summer is already far memory. I slept under the big tree near river. People are swimming! but I felt I don't envy them much,Greek summer is already far. I remembered the river of Tiraspol,it was just a year ago.You are there now?or the sea?anyway you say you can wait for me to meet again even in years,thanks but I'm not for sure when I really can,,  Then a CSer of here sent me "we can go  swimming in river today?"without phone number,,thanks.

11, Sep. Osijek
Thanks MacDonald's stuffs for never talking to me although I was on the chair of Internet 11am-3pm.

(,,to be continued)

Medimurje is nice

26, Aug
---Woke up by cold of early morning, forest was covered by mist, my luggage were wet,,,different from tropical Greece. Soon sunlight began to cover the air, very small traffic, a police car stopped and asked me brief questions politely, wrote down my passport info. friendlily, even shook hands and "nice to meet you,good luck!"?
.It took time for hours till someone picked me up,but it's alright I've already done my mission of "Get out of Shengen",I can stay in Croatia maximum for 90days. And I don't have any secure CS-host here yet, just try to go to festival, although I don't need it or something special event actually,as everyday something small incidents happens on travel.
. Trakoscan castle  ,,,very peaceful with calm lake but, I'm afraid I wouldn't remember here exactly for long, as I don't have camera and as I've been meeting many similar nice places so far,,
.small city (town?) Ivanec, at noon. Too hot, temperature is same as Greece? but the sea is far, no way to escape so that even more I feel hot.

.In hot afternoon, arrived to center(old city) of Varazdin, but shops were taking siesta,,No they're all open, there's no siesta culture here.
Spancirfest

.I deposited luggage at somewhere underconstructional house's site, since hot summer's Greek trip sometimes I do it,,sooner or later I will be stolen?? Lots of people are in festival, so that somehow there's no shortage of my foods,,,and Oh, there's screen and keyboard for free Internet in MacDonald! but still no good answer from CS, only one in neighbor city Cakovec like"I would like so much to host you!,,,I will try to arrange,,,I will get back to you,,," without writing mobile number,,(finally there was no next answer from same one anymore. Why people say "I will" the break promise?? It's much better to say ""maybe" or "might be" than it.) 

.I slept at my luggage's deposit site, on the wooden stand, under the sky.

27, Aug
.Going for a walk from 6am because woke uo by cold,but already old town were cleaned up by shop owners, but rampart hill around castle was full of trashes,,,drunken people in the evening are normal,OK but it's almost,,,"trash festival"!?
.At post office from10am till 2pm for writing postcards that I couldn't finish even I already put Greek stamp,and send them to George in Crete to ask him to post them to Greek post office. Then participating with fest like yesterday without money, often check mail at MacDonald with slight hope to wait next answer from a CS-host in Cakovec, without buying nothing.
.A guy with magic bar for miracle(?) were sitting at the corner and enjoying observing faces of passing crowded people.  He reminds me of one of old people whom I was taking care of as my job in Japan, asked how about my traveling although he already knew it, gave me tips that Croatian bakery usually gives us yesterday's bread for free, and has unique instruments of "magnetic wind" same as I've seen from stroyteller I've met in village festival in Greece. His travo your soulmate is also impressive, finds various worth things by talking to many people friendlily, gave me something to eat but toward my words of Thank, he said "No,not to me, Thank to your exitence."
.Why is MacDonald so popular? it's too crowded in the evening but I have done CSing work,and finally I updated reference for E to negative.
,,,after all, I slept at same place as last night but in the earthen pipe,first time in my life,like one of my characters in my favorite Japanese comic(it was much more bigger earthen pipe though) ,,but it was shorter than my tall so I woke up by cold in very early morning, and checked old city again How "trash festival" it is?

28, Aug
Thanks for MacDonald for ignoring me to use Internet for long hours till today.
In afternoon finally move to Cakovec,,,but small city in Sunday afternoon was dead city (like Chirpan of Bulgaria), everybody answers me "no place for Interenet,," Just one pleasant meeting on the street with British Lindsay (she had lived here 6 years ago and now living in England with Croatian boyfriend from here).
OK,try to walk to surburb to hitchhike and move to somewhere village actually nowhere to aim at though,with knocking doors and with being declined it,,,(bakery gave me yesterday's "old" bread) but couldn't catch a car till getting dark, Oh I'm so haphazard and too optimistic? although I was so tired by sleeping under the sky for 3 nights (4th night will be exhausting beyond imagination), maybe I was still in fresh excitement of trip without CSing since making a flight? I should give up to move somewhere nowhere and should knock doors this region BUT
"USHIIIIII !" ?!? Who is calling my name?! (equal as Who can know me here?!)
(,,to be continued)

29, Aug
---checked out at its maximum time 2pm.
Inside library, I met nice girl Gabriela who is from village and plans to become journalist, tried to ask about hosting to both her and boyfriend Golan, left there 7 PM of closing time.
.Hitchhike to north till Slovenian border town Mursko Sredisce, but my intuition said it's still a bit bigger place to find host, so I didn't get out there and went to village Zabnik (near Sveti Martin na Muri). It's already sunset time, I started "my job" knocking doors to all houses where I found someone there.  Actually the first house was under construction but just I tried to ask to whom were painting its wall,as nobody knows who brings me something good news at least,,,then after around 15 houses I visited (some of them said "no,I don't have money" ??),when a boy suggested me to go and ask to the village bar, a car came and stopped and told a boy something,,,

Thanks refreshing heavymetal guy by sportscar,even if I hadn't seen his eyes behind sunglasses.
.Sun-tanning nakedly on breakwater at reservoir of Drava river "Jezero HE Donja Dubrava" near Prelog, I miss swimming days in Greece, now here is enough temperature but a bit dirty,,
.Do my own job of hitchhike, and even while drivers are parking somewhere village on the way and doing some their job I do my another job of asking people for hosting, even if the family were fluent English speaker but just moved from Holland and luckof space for me by under construction.
I've choosen place to stay for tonight just its name, the village "Sveta Marija"
(usuless info. Sveta means "holy" by Croatian,but "slut" by Japanese).
Many people refused me before I asked,on the other hand,some people tried to think somewhere or somebody. Already dark and a dog was balking me but I don't hesitate to enter inside gate (surely I changed from my past that too coward toward dogs) have small kids so the mother answered me she can't,but

I said "mmm,No." then he "I did in Istanbul by 50 euro,,,Serbia or Bulgaria were also good" ,,,Thanks for useful? info. in the idyllic countryside.

Munich aiport has many Couches

It's been 10 years since I came to Munich
,,slept in airport, Muslim' prayer space
(,,to be continued)

23, Aug
Hitichhike to Maribor of Slovenia.
Meminco will stay there till 26th morning and fly back to Japan,
my Shengen'deadline is 25th,
so anyway I wanted to reach there till 24th'evening and leave to Croatia(out of Shengen) on 25th,
if I arrived there on 25th we won't have time to spend together. 
(My plan was Munich---Salzburg---Gratz'---Maribor)
.8am started at the airport, luckily soon 2 young guys picked me up to the city, I wanted to avoid to enter inside million city,but they passed by intersection to Salzburg with some reason? anyway they're local guys,would be OK. then after went out from highway "Go straight ahead and take a southern highway,it's the way to Salzburg, Bye!" Thanks but small hotel's old woman showed me map, I was in opposite side from south in million city, I had to go through center of city for 10km (but of course I don't take a bus or metro in such high price country, so that walking is hard)or back to highway and take big big detour of ring road round city,Oh No!
.Anyway take a breakfast in the green park,people are enjoying cycling or walking with children,,surely I had been to somewhere beautiful big green park in Munich in 2001,,Oh it's a pity that I have to hurry up now! and Creten honey is so sweet but Creten bread is too hard to bite and chew.
.It was my exit of highway but now it became entrance, but almost of cars were heading to straight,Stuttgult, rarely turns right to the opposite side of city. Almost noon, keeping thumbs up under the strong sun like Greece,, Oh I nearly fainted, not usual on me.
.super open car picked me up to ring road, I said feels like I'm on Japanese super express maximum 250 km per hour, so he flew by 260km per hour,,,then dropped me off in parking,not many car come.
.Next car also took me to next parking but even more smaller,more worse.
---Finally I went out from ring road of Munich highway, at gas station around 6pm.
.Then typical German girl (of my prejudice) girl drove me with sometimes'pleasant talk but not too funny(my prejudice) till entrance of highway of small city Raubling? --- then entrance of small village--- then 8th car dropped me off small traffic' entrance,,,it's already getting dark,but still inside Germany,I nearly determined my mind to sleep on fields and gave up to reach to Maribor till tomorrow.
Tried to stand inside highway (is prohibited)with a bit desperate heart BUT,
(It always happens when I gave up)
a car stopped by hard brake like a comic,"Hello,I'm going to go to southern Austria." Oh!
.German student Christoph reminds me of my travel-master Masszuu who was my host of this journey's very first night (in Japan, 2007) and succeeded to meet with me in Morocco(2008),,Oh in these 4 years I took a flight only twice but both time were to meet with old friend.
Unexpectedly I could progress till near Slovenian border but it's a bit pity that already it's dark so we couldn't see Austrian mountain (near Alps?) instead, I had a exciting super high speed driving with stars because the highway of both Germany and Austria are much developed than Greece and people normally drive very faster than Greece, honestly I had been scared and hoping speed down,but at the same time I felt That's the real thrill of travel, some people ask me When will you finish travel? but How can I think it!?!?
.His destination was near Villach,near border of Slovenia and Italy,(so Gratz is far but Ljubljana is closer,I can go to Maribor anyway), took me to entrance of another highway. He repeated "Sorry,I couldn't offer you place to sleep,it's not perfect." but for me, perfect would be not perfect,maybe. "I have place for you in Stuttgult!" OK I would go there really :)     
It was the area just for car traffic'intersection, nothing there except road. I slept on meadow---then woke up by cold of early morning (as I expected),changed the place to someone's car that window was broken(by thief?) and door was opened.

24,Aug
Woke up by morning'traffic' noise.
Hitchhike again. It's a bit different from Greek people (of scaring face) but most of people ignores me, seems trying to ignore.
.Luckily a elder couple who are heading to near Vienna picked me up, they will go through Gratz (OK change the route again),but then unluckily soon they went out highway and dropped me off(??) and "Go straight ahead, over 5km there's entrance of highway to Gratz."(??) What did you mean?? I didn't get it but anyway breakfast in green park, it's a pity that I have to hurry up now! and Creten bread is too hard to bit and chew,,,Is it same blog as yesterday's morning??
---Like yesterday's morning, I thought the 1st car took me to wrong direction,I went back to the exit/entrance of highway to go to Gratz but unluckily narrow space,difficult to stop the car, so I tried to go opposite way's entrance that 5km far,but luckily an old guy taught me there's a intersection to go to Slovenian'border ",,but Have you swam in our sea?" He meant the lake near this city Klagenfurt,Oh what a pity I'm in hurry!
.Oh, it's written SLO and Ljubljana! then someone's grandfather(image) piced me up and we confirmed where we will go by German,although I can speak German nothing. ---What a beautiful scenery of green fields and trees, like the scene of Japanese animation "the world's masterpiece theater"series that I grew up by it. Since Germany, forests or mountains are so fascinating vividly, different kind of beauty from Greece because here has much rain. For a while we drove then he dropped me off in the middle of countryside, he said not to way to Ljubljana but got my goal Maribor I think, so ideally I'm in between these2 cities but anyway it's still in Austrian side,I hope the sigh on the road "Lavamund 15km" is border city---
---It is! German tourist Sascha who was heading to Maribor crossed the border with me and said "more 50km around." The good thing is that German people's "50km around" means almost 50km,reliable about correctness of number, I don't say which nation's people are not reliable though. and although he said he's not in hurry, he checked the watch very often,,it's also because of German?
From Davograd till Maribor,the route along Drava river was also veriiiii naaaaice. He suggested me to go to Slovenian mountains (pity no time!), his ex-girlfriend was Romanian so he agreed with good and bad things of my favorite Romanain trip."and my another favorite EU is Lithuania." but no mountain country is not for me,my favorite EU is Slovakia." Oh I've never been there :) He even invited me to his couch in his city Dresden(Oh I've never been there :) around 1pm, finally we arrived and he left quite soon after I dropped off although he said he has time,,,I wonder I will visit him in Dresden in future??
.Anywyay finally I got back to Maribor since 2001!
nice clean central square! but it's too hot and strong sun like Greece!?
friendly student led me to Internet cafe, and cafe was also friendly to let me check e-mail for free (I hadn't wriiten down Meminco's hosts' number or address),I wrote her mail "I want to reach to you on 23th, but might be on 24th?" so she worried last night and sent me mail, but it's my character, although I was irritating by long waiting hitchhike till then, after I reached to "her city" I can't call to her immediately by shyness (and want to enjoy this specific feeling that not often occurs), so I took a walk till her host's home, Oh friendly 20 euro bill was on the road to be picked by me,lucky! but Memminco was not at home, although I shouted her name to her apartment building.
,,,,,But I don't write from here because I don't have energy to write about her and our memories since we met in 1991, it would be demended to make one more another blog page :p 
Anyway,
it's been 10 years since I came to Maribor of Slovenia and met with (Meminco's soulmate)
puppet artist Darka.
(,,to be continued)

25, Aug
Before I fly, Nothing I could prepare for my CSing after I moved to Croatia but,
GO OUT from Shengen till 24:00! hopefully,,
as I expected, my starting was late BUT
 Darka's aunt who was visiting her offered me driving BUT
before that,she took me to her own Maribor's short sightseeing drive,
so soon after we arrived at highway it got dark.
.Every stopped car tells me I'm gonna go to another direction from intersection 5km further.
One of them told me No here is wrong point to go to Croatia, you should go back to center and go another entrance of highway,,Oh what am I gonna to do!? I don't have much time to walk and change the point,and if here was better than there,,? but next stopped car told me Here IS right point!
then 24 hours'shift guardman Alan who is heading to Pulj took me until border, maybe the radio that was reporting Maribor's football team is wiining the game with Scottland at the moment let him help me more trhan enough? anyway Thank you!!
.Border officers gave me a stump even not check the date I entered to Shengen,,,
after walked less than 1 km, border officers seemed to suspect me a bit at the first,but anyway I entered
CROATIA.
.It was around 11pm or later, I walked till village nearby border and highway,after several houses, only road and woods in darkness, no traffic, there's sign of "Beware of deer's crossing", yes surely there's something sound from wood. Even of it's late hour I could knock doors but I couldn't help myself to indulge myself in satisfaction about travel since Munich,,,so I slept just on the street.
,,,Oh, in these 5 days I've been sleeping in different countries every night.
