Maciej’s Warsaw adventures

We were still heading the wrong direction, and whoever had designed the Warsaw highway system had not apparently heard of the U-Turn. I marvelled at the Polish system of signaling to drivers to make way, which was to wave a kind of giant plastic red lollipop out the window, moving it in complex patterns to convey instructions to the driver about which way to veer to avoid the careening cop car. The only signal I could make out was a kind of frenzied shaking, which seemed to mean “read my mind and get out of my way, MOTHERFUCKING COCKSUCKER!!!!”, judging by the running commentary.

This story has it all – suspense, drama, humour, engaging characters and witty dialogue. And it’s all true. Maciej Ceglowski was attacked by thugs while walking along the river.
