I'll bash this epicly long post out on my phone whilst hiding from the insane heat on a residential street here in Holland! I should just have a live feed from a small button camera and blog like that because there's just too much to document!
I just took this pic, and after a woman came along and said "Hi, I see you sitting there and I brought you a you a bottle of water and cookies.. "
And just now again 30 minutes later, a lady stops to give the dogs some tinned food.
For someone just entering a different country..
It's a different dimension. The level of brainwashing is nothing compared to Spain and I know that without knowing anything about how Holland was in (the first) lockdown time.
The people still have empathy and are still human instead of being De-humanised by the fascist new laws on wearing masks and also the anti-social distancing. Also its evident that the media hype wasn't so bad as in Spain either.
I've been meaning to get a post up from the last week or so, I've made alot of distance,but still the days are going by fast and flu season is on the horizon - which is my guess of the deadline for relocation. Back tracking a few days..
Finally out of Spain.
I got out of Barcelona and got a ride to Montpellier. I got dropped off though at a really bad place with no people, no water and no gas station to try to hitch a ride from. The insane thing though was that instantly I saw a hitchhiker. I went to say hi and they were going to oppersite way to me, they were heading to Toulouse.
An office supply shop in South Montpellier - Awesome!
I was going to go to sleep there but then decided to go more into Montpellier and get some water. I passed a steak house and knew straight away what they have in there trash bags, and for the dogs it was heaven.
I even had a couple of untouched steaks and a beefburgers that I guess were over cooked and the customer complained and also many corn on the cobs slightly burnt.
We ate like Kings in the car park. I noticed a dumped car, full of graffiti just 10m away and the front door open with a guy sat there inside smoking a ciggy.
It Didn't really bother me as I sat sifting through the trash bag. It was full of just fries, meat, bones and corn on the cobs and skins from jacket potatoes, which I find quite OK. If they have thrown coffee grounds in there too, then that's my limit 🤣
The guy in the car rang someone and then two guys appeared. One asked me for a smoke, and I've been in enough situations before when this question turns into violence, so I told him I don't smoke. He spoke in some wired language of French Spanish, and I worked out he asked me "What tribe was I from".
He went back other to the car and asked the guy in the car for a fag and got one. Around 10 minutes later the other guy who was sat on the curb asked the guy in the car for tabacco and that he should give him it.
The guy was already at the car right in the guys face who was sat in it and they started to argue. Then I saw the guy pull out a pistol and so I left. Suddenly the Office supply shop was a very welcoming place to sleep, just 400m away from people getting robbed at gunpoint - and on the way back there was a spot where prostitutes were waiting for clients.. I was quite surprised because I though I was in a quite place.
After sleeping good outside the office equipment shop, I walked back further into Montpellier, and stopped at someones camp if which I thought was abandoned. I made a spliff and just as I was leaving, a guy came over the crash barrier from the roundabout slip road, and I had to say hi and asked if he was living there.
He used to live there but he and his wife made a house in the forest. He was a cool guy and said I could sleep there if needed and offered me a tent.
The next day I met a total of 9 seperate hitchikers and decided to do it myself as I seemed to be in an excellent place. I got a ride offered to go east instead of north and took it to a town called Arles.
No documentation of those days..
Up to date..
I have made much better progress since leaving Spain and now I am in Tilburg, Holland. I had an interesting arival from Paris after a 6hour drive. I had got some money sent through western union but the 9 60 lo 9pmwestern union is now perminantly closed at the trainstation and the other one was closed which was a few km away across the town.
I ended up realising that I couldn't get any money and I really wanted to get some weed concidering I'm in Holland, land of the coffeeshops and unlike the associations in Spain, you don't have to pay a membership fee for a private club as it is already fully legalised here.
I sat outside a supermarket and there was 2 hours before it closed. I had previously walked around to the Western Union without the dogs and rucksack, and after finding out it was closed, there wasn't much else to do apart from sit and get donations from people. I met some cool people, even one guy who lived in my home town in England which was quite surreal and this guy with his bike which he has had since 2001.
I actually got 10 euros in total and then went across the road when the supermarket was closed to check out what weed they had. The security was a bit funny with me because they had seen me sat outside the supermarket and they said they didn't really like the idea that I had asked for money outside the shop. This is when I always have to correct people because ei actually never ask anyone for anything and it's their choice if they will give me some change.
I got a gram of White Widow for 9.70euro and this place is defiantly the best one in Tilburg. The amount of people buying there was insane, they must easily be selling a kilo each day in total. Whilst I was sat at the supermarket I saw 2 polish guys who I had passed who were settled under a bridge and they invited me to go hang out with them which I did after I got some weed. The sky was grey as we approached Tilburg and sure enough there was a storm. The bridge sounded like a great idea.
I thought it was just the two I had met but actually a group of around 15 people were there, all polish people and it was OK until I tried to go to sleep and then I realised that this wasn't a peaceful place to relax and that they were all getting quite messy. I stayed a while then left after I started to get bad vibes from one polish guy, and went to find a place with shelter to sleep. I found a really nice place and I will most likely stay there again tonight unless I meet awesome people who offer me a place.
This morning I woke up and had to get some money for the bus to go to the western union. I went and sat at an Aldi supermarket and just before the security asked to leave, I had enough to take the bus to go get the money lent by my mum, a debt already up to 1300 euro, thanks to the Corona scam. Just before I went to stay under the bridge I had realised that I would be sleeping with starngers and I asked a bar if I could leave my tablet there over night and here I am now to collect it.
I had a realisation that came to me - a huge part of the Corona Hoax is to make everywhere cashless...
...and country's like Spain where the people are still queing up to get the cash out from an ATM in the mornings, will be the hardest country's to convert to being cashless and so they need to be put in their place as slaves and that's why the hand washing and mask wearing is happening, to convert them.
The buses stopped accepting cash since the Virus Hoax started, and just like this place as well where I came to collect the tablet, they don't accept cash. I said I would buy a coffee but Yeh I only have cash, so I went to walk off and then a guy with his family offered to buy me a drink. As the waitress came out she said that she was also just making me a free coffee, and made me feel welcome so I am still here hiding from the sun.
After the western union I wanted to simply find a coffee shop where I can go in and sit down and smoke, and I went to one called Shiva, but sadly I looked inside and the seating area was closed. Anywhere serving food can only seat people outside and so if a place serves food and there's only seating inside then they can't open. I a3s6 saw 5n the window the Digital menu for the weed and hash and saw they ask 17 euro for one gram of Girl Scout Cookies. SEVENTEEN EURO.
This is actually more expensive than what you would pay in NORWAY, yes, Norway, one of the most expensive country's in the world. Of course I just laughed, shook my head and walked off to go get my tablet.
I don't think there will be any coffeeshop in this town to go sit in easily and so I will buy a jar of 3.5g for 50 euro from the best one in town and then either take a train or look for another blablacar. I also need to buy tabacoo for Norway, because its 5 times cheaper here, and twice as cheap as in France.
It's so funny to hear people thinking that things will go back to the old normal. Things to me look pretty perminant like this hand wash station in Paris at a bus stop
Looks very Perminant to me..*
Or this special bin just for Covid 19, I'm not even sure actually what this means to the normal people. I think its become almost a fashion already and a trend, taken on and adopted naturally as if there nothing even wrong.
No masks!
In Holland it's only mandi tory to wear old slavery equipment whilst on public transport, which means that everywhere else you can still see people faces, and wow I realised that I hadnt seen a full human face in over 5 weeks.
Its so nice to see humans expressions of smiling, and I never thought that I would ever be so happy to see faces and see people smiling. In Spain you only see a set of eyes, and those eyes are full of uncertainty and fear, and the humans are so manipulated its horrible. Its literally like a different planet. Holiday destination, Spain, hahahah aha well go for it, knock yourself out hahahah.
I'm outta here, the sun goes down and screen time fucks my head haha
