Friendliness in the Czech Republic

So, yesterday I was to teach at this big Distribution company based out of Kralupy. Iwas to meet with this one gentleman for a personal lesson (these are by far the easiest lessons, cuz all I do is chat it up for an hour and a half). But anyways, I had no clue where this place was. I had a general knowledge of where I thought it was,but I really had no clue. The directions I got were vague (welcome to Czech Republic), so I just started to head out at 520 and hope I got there before 6 when I as supposed to be there. So I had been walking in what I thought was the right direction for half an hour, and I was asking people (in Czech) where this place was. (Most the time, I had no clue what they were sayin, I just said yea). But what I realized is that from whereI was the only thing they could tell me was that it was "way the heck over that way" and then they would point. I finally asked this one young lookin fella at this gas station, and he says (in czech) "yea man" and then he motioned me to his car. So, I got the picture, and jumped in. (Side note: hitchhiking is not illegal in Europe, yet, it is a natural means of transportation. People are weirded out when you hear it is illegal in America. It is rather safe here in a sense. Not as many psychopaths here, just nice atheists). So I got in and we started driving. And we were driving a long way, and it got to point where I thought he was taking me to some crazy god forsaken place in the middle of nowhere, but then he turned, and I realized where I made my mistake. And we got there, and i hailed the ground that his feet walked on. So I got there (I was definitely like 1 or 2 km off the beaten track.) And this guy got me there at 555, in perfect time. This guy was way nice. Czechs rock. Have a good day. And if you get the feel... hitchhike, just kiddin... kinda.
