Changes

When was your last hitchhiking trip? Looking forward to yet the next!? Try this winter... in [[Europe]]! Why not spend New Year somewhere completely random, maybe even with your driver! Hitching can be relatively easy in [[winter]]: no hitching queues, people don't like to leave hitchers standing in the cold, and why wait for summertime?

It also gets you into gear for the next hitchhiking week in Europe, taking place on 789, the '''7th of August 2009'''. According to the latest polls, with 34 people voting already, almost 50% of the votes are for Ukraine, mainly Odessa. We invite you to cast <i>your</i> vote and to share your opinion. You can vote on the forum, to be found at [http://hitchwiki.org/forum/?q=content/789 hitchwiki/forum] <strong>Website and discussion forum</strong><br />For communication, we have set up a website at http://the789project.eu. There the forum with all discussions can be found.

In Paris at the 888-event we agreed we want to have a kind of welcoming group that can facilitate a location, and possibly arrange communication with local authorities and press. So far we have not succeeded in having good contacts in the Ukraine. We will therefore have to put more effort in getting in touch with the right people and continue to discuss the location. Join that discussion! Also, if you are think that another place is so much better, make yourself heard.
