because we're worth it.

once upon a time when we were about to be murdered

POLAND | Friday, 2 May 2014 | Views [297] | Scholarship Entry

When I was in Berlin for Erasmus in 2012, me and two friends of mine rented a car to travel Poland. We had a night journey and got close to Warsaw around sunrise. I said we better pull over a good place to rest for a while. We saw a field near a petrol station and drove there. We were all sleepy however something took my attention suddenly while the others were about to sleep. A guy from inside of a car which was not so far from us was making some signs with his fingers and hands in a threatening way. I locked the doors, warned my friends and got the car started again. There were 3 bald and huge guys in the other car and after we ran our car, they started chasing us. In the mean time I operated the navigation so that we could have used some safe ways to leave them behind because all around was like in the middle of nowhere. I motivated my friends while passing through a one-way road. Actually the navigation was wrong. I told my friends we better stop and go back. We managed that and came across to the other car looking at each others’ eyes. If we had not gone back, the way would have ended at a home's garden which might have belonged to them. So, without the ciritical decisions in sequence I took in such a danger moment, we would have been killed. Well, fortunately we are all alive and now I am applying for another journey.
