Changes

Hi Platschi! I tried to change the boxes but cause I didn't have a hitchwiki account when I wrote them , I can't edit them. The owner is anonymous. SoHey, find the city calles Jyväskyläwelcome to this User talk page. There are 3 thumbs in the mapFeel free to leave a note, the wrong texts are: "E63/9/23 westwards..." should be "E63/9/23 east- and southwards...". "West- and southwardsask questions or whatever..." should be "East- and southwards". I'm such an idiot sometimes :). Btw, do need some help translating the phrase book in Finnish? I could do that if it hasn't been done yet. Anyways, thank you for your help! Annika

Hey Ralf! Welcome on hitchwiki, cool to see you here :) I guess you have something more to contribute ;) --* [[Usertalk:MrTweekPlatschi/archive|MrTweekArchive]] 10:02, 25 June 2007 (CEST)

Another welcome! :) I'm looking forward == Bad Oeynhausen ==Hi Ralf. Have you never noticed the bay where drivers can stop, just after the traffic lights at the beginning of the Bay Oeyenhausen Bundesstrasse section? Looked like a nice place to your contributions! You hitchhike, which, however, we as the transit hitchers will never use, since we will probably never end up there. Although of course, you can ''sign'' messages on talk pages with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>never really say never... --[[User:GuakaFverhart|GuakaFverhart]] 2014:4152, 25 3 June 2007 2009 (CESTUTC)

:HeyFrank, no, never seen that bay! Should check it next time,When you were hitchhiking in Serbia did you do a lot but mostly people just drive into town or towards Minden, so they're not even going to the end of camping? Itown. So for the lazy people, the first Shell station might be the best option as it'm a bit concerned s at the beginning when coming from the A2. And, about camping in places like Serbia and Croatiaus as ''transit hitchers'' :) , I got rides towards Oeynhausen several times now, where they apparently have unexploded mines still lying around in various places. Do you know if these are find it quite common and/difficult to get direct rides from Auetal for example to Osnabrück or if further most times. Also, when going east, the service station Grönegau sucks most of the areas are closed off or what?Thanks! :time for me (waiting nearly always >30min)It. Then better stick to the on-ramp Melle-Ost 4km before, it has a nice spot and lot'd be nice s of traffic going to camp out in Oeynhausen, where you then can ask at the wild first service station where there but I don't fancy having an s always busy :) But that'explosive' time!s probably just what I think about it... :) --[[User:Platschi|Platschi]] 14:38, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

::Hi Ralf. The bay to the east is just at the beginning of Bad Oeyenhausen, just after the end of the A30. It's logically at the beginning, how I remember there's a city map for people entering the town. Regarding Gronegau, thanks for the information. The one time that I stood there, 27.12.2008, I got away in 3 minutes and got a lift of 151 km to Zweidorfer Holz, according to my list. For me it was great so. I remember a Dutch couple with a nice discussion about discovering the simple ways of living in places... If you asked me, I would try to avoid Bay Oeyenhausen, but I've passed by no more than five-six times. --[[User:MyshkinFverhart|MyshkinFverhart]] 1208:2743, 17 August 2007 5 June 2009 (CESTUTC)

:::Hey Platschi! Thanks for your welcome message:) Sorry if I'm writing in Frank, just used the wrong place. I just discovered hitchwiki, what an amazing resourse! I am planning my first-ever hitchhiking trip bay a week ago and got a ride offer to Western Europe in April-MayLeipzig there within not even one minute. It is a bit scarywas traffic jam though, but Iworks pretty fine :) Indeed there'm finding s a lot of useful city map also; just put some little more information hereon the Oeynhausen article. As of yetIndeed you can avoid Oeynhausen, I donbut when going onto the A30 or coming from there it't have much s impossible not to contribute, but wait till I get through there! ;) --[[User:Platschi|Platschi]] 17:09, 24 October 2009 (UTC)===Liftpunt.Tk===Hi, fellow Dutch hitchhiker.

==SysopRussia ==We don't really have a policy about this, but MrTweek and I decided to "promote" some more people to sysops on the wiki. Of course we noticed your great contributions and decided to make you into a sysop :) Check [[project:administrators]] to read (a little bit) more about this.

Thanks! :) (Not sure if Sorry to hear you had such a hard time in Bashkiria. I'm posting my reply ve hitchhiked there and never waited more than 5 minutes, just like in the correct place hererest of Russia.) How was hitchhiking in the Balkans? Do If you recommend solo hitchhiking at all? Ididn'm starting to wonder if hitchhiking t get picked up by myself for my first time could be a bad idea and become lonelytruck right away, but I'm sure it would give me more opportunities for meeting was probably because you were too close to a DPS post, and truck drivers were too nervous to take two people along the way![[User:Myshkin|Myshkin]] 15:06, 13 August 2007 past it (CESTthey can only have one passenger legally).

thanks for welcome yep::Moin, quatsch, trampen is genau wie in Deutschland bspw. auch. Nur beim "raustrampen" aus Moskau wurd ich n paar mal gefragt nach Geld, bzw. es gibt halt auch "private Taxis" die rumfahren, aber das bekommt man direkt raus wenn man ne Richtung/Ort angibt/erfragt und die direkt nachfragen wieviel du zahlst.

My pleasure writing to Hitchwiki== Nederlands ==Hoi Platschi - d'r is nu ook eindelijk een hitchwiki in het Nederlands: http://hitchwiki. The more people know, the better are the trips - more they travel and more drivers trust us org/nlAls je je Nederlands wilt oefenen ga ik dat graag verbeteren : )Let's make hitch-hiking big like "in the old days" some drivers mention [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 23: 48, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Merry Christmas Hallo Platschi! Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm excited to be apart of this awesome project! Yeah, I read the page for Texas - yikes. The state might not be so promising, but Austin is asking to be explored hitchwise. I'll see what I can do! Say Hi to the Netherlands and Germany for me! Wonderful and safe travelshappy adventures. :) - Safira (P.S. I'm not really sure where to put this response, so hope this is ok!Rein)

hi platschi!thanks :Dear Robert, a ''gas station'' is the American English pendant to ''petrol station'' used in Britain. As we have no specific regional English specified for your welcome messagethis website, I guess ''gas station'' fits as well as petrol station.

[[User:Prino|Prino]] 22:37, 6 November 2010 (CET)congratulations :::On the continent (not on the Islands) people usually use "highway" and "gas station", I hardly ever hear mainland Europeans say "motorways" or "petrol station" when they speak English, I actually had to look up the exact meaning when I saw it in one of your serbia hitching!edits... [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 23:04, 6 November 2010 (CET)i crossed :Well,I never use the words petrol station or motorway while talking English. Maybe because I've never been to the UK. When writing articles I usually stick to the country common language I use with drivers, mainly in 2003 on my way Eastern Europe, and here it's hard sometimes (if no common language available) to even explain them the meaning of ''gas'' station, not to istanbul (spielfeldmention the word ''petrol''. The German-istanbul 3 days English mix of ''Tank Station'' sometimes helps wonders, though completely incorrect. I know it doesn't look very aesthetic on the wiki if different words of the same meaning are in use everywhere. We can either start writing a short ''common language guide'' for the experienced users that are more into editing minor grammar and spelling mistakes, or just leave it as it is. I prefer the first, to have an overview about specific writing styles throughout the same truckEnglish wiki. I guess a great percentage of users here are no native English speakers, so mistakes are normal and quite reasonable. I'm really happy we have users like you who take care of correcting! --[[User:Platschi|Platschi]] 23:25, 6 November 2010 (CET) ::I'll do a scientific investigation (among Belgians, Germans and hitched whoever else I might encounter) next time I'm on the road, which will hopefully be sometime before the end of the month.
