"Drowned in love and false kisses. A gathering of no meaning" - Richey James Edwards. Starogard Girl is a poem, a song, a story, a book and a person! On Jonny's journeys he encountered the famous to infamous "Starogard Girl". She, perhaps unknowingly, was to influence his journeys ever since. Hailing from the calm Kociewien capital city of Starogard Gdański, the Starogard Girl came and went into Jonny's life with fleeting charm, wacaday aplomb and free spirit. "Egg is jajko; and apple's jablko. A travel writer who fell in love with; a Starogard Girl. She's a Starogard Girl" - Jonny Blair. As Jonny backpacked hardcore through far flung places like Senegal, Kyrgyzstan and France, something was waiting and missing. This was his Starogard Girl, who was lying in wait. A cycle tour, a Slavic kiss and a spate of unforeseen lies were to follow. This story has more twists than a Hercule Poirot thriller, gaping suspense borrowed from Alfred Hitchcock with that added Northern Irish charm sucking down influences from Belfast's George Best to Starogard's own Kazimierz Deyna. When the sun goes down tonight, where is Jonny's Starogard Girl? "Maybe you will make my untouristic town famous" - Starogard Girl.
