Ride sharing is awesome. I went to Berlin, round trip, for 55€. And I met some good people. Hot ass Berliner sitting next to me on the way there, hot ass Bavarian driving on the way back.
The Hbf in Berlin is frigging crazy-it's huge!!! And it had a lot of cool stuff in it. I had to wait there for an hour for Jen because her train got delayed. Based on what I learned on the city tour, I think they found an unexploded WWII bomb-apparently that's quite common there.
The dude who gave me a ride back, Benjamin, was super cool and was a wealth of information. He told me that we were driving on the first Autobahn built ("the idea of a very famous German, you may have heard of him...Adolf Hitler?" LOL!). We hit 220 kmph (about 138 mph) on that bad boy-we made fantastic time. He also told me a lot about what is good and bad about Berlin, helped interpret the news for me and introduced me to some new music. He was awesome.
That's about that...I would never, ever ride share in the states, but in Europe it's a fantastic alternative. With gas being over $7 a gallon there, it's a damn good idea. And they're more environmentally conscious, so they do it for these nice, tree-huggin' reasons. And it's a good way to meet people and have someone to jibba jabba with on a long, boring ride.
Oh, almost forgot!! After stopping for gas, we saw this super drunk guy stumbling around. He was holding his crotch like he had to pee, but was too drunk to. His friend came and grabbed him, then about 40 feet further down the road we saw him again. With his pants down. And his underwear pulled down. Full moon, baby. His friends were having to support his plastered ass, and pull his undies up for him. That's what friends are for!
