Hobo and Warsaw

Few years ago when I still was a student I suddenly woke up in Warsaw.
A day before that we (me and classmates) had some celebration. It's really hard to recover the reason, but I remember that we ended late evening and my way to house was along the train station.
I do really love Warsaw, so when I passed the station, I decided that it's a great idea to visit Poland. This way I bought my ticket to train 'Minsk-Warsaw'.
Just imagine, 6.30am, hangover, early March, snow, foreign country and... no Polish money into my jacket. I had Belarusian rubles, but the problem with them is that it's impossible change them in Warsaw.
I had three ways to do:
- 1st, find someone who could help me to get transport to Belarus
- 2nd, hitchhiking
- 3rd, ask conductor take me to the train.
During all my walking through the city I decided, that the only right way is the third one.
8.40pm I stood at the platform where train Warsaw-Minsk arrived. The conductor I came to Poland watched at me with pity and allowed me to occupy one place in train.
Next morning I was really happy to step onto the Belarusian land.
After that I never traveled w/out american or european money. No way!
