- Description: Stanisław Bujakowski (born 10 March 1906, Druskininkai) and Halina Korolec-Bujakowska (born 8 October 1907, Vilnius) were a Polish couple who undertook their honeymoon journey by motorcycle from Druskininkai - then eastern Poland, now Lithuania - to Shanghai, China. On 19 August 1934 they departed on a BSA two-cylinder motorcycle with a sidecar, Stanisław riding and Halina travelling as passenger and chronicler, carrying a typewriter throughout the journey. After 19 months and approximately 24,000 km through Poland, Germany, Austria, the Balkans, Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Persia, India, Burma and Indochina, they reached Shanghai on 15 March 1936. Stanisław remained in Shanghai as a war correspondent covering the Sino-Japanese conflict; Halina returned to Poland in 1937. The motorcycle was left behind in China. Their accounts were published in the Polish press during the journey - in the Kurier Wileński, Świat, Times of India and South China Morning Post - and Halina's diary was eventually published in Poland in 2011
