'''Odessa''' or '''Odesa''' (Ukrainian: Одеса; Russian: Одесса; Romanian: Odesa; Greek: Οδησσός; Yiddish: אדעס ) is located in southern [[Ukraine]]. The city is a major seaport located on the shore of the Black Sea and the fourth largest city in Ukraine with a population of 1,000,000.
On [[789]], 7 August of 2009, the [[789]] Festival took place in '''Odessa'''. A hundred hitchhikers from all over the world gathered in Odessa to promote hitchhiking.  == Hitchhiking out == 
== Hitching out = North to [[Uman]], [[Kyiv|Kiev]] (M05/E95) ===
=== North Take trolleybus #8 or small yellow bus #208 in front of the Railway Station (McD's). Take direction to [[Umanthe Central Autostation, exit the trolleybus on station Khimichna (остановка Химическая or зупинка Хiмiчна) and walk right. You']], [[Kiev]] ll see main street Grushevskogo (Грушевского). Cross this street and turn left. You will see your spot. Best is to hitchhike from there with sign "КИЕВ" (M05/E95Kyiv) ===
Take trolleybus 8 bus 84 from in front of the Central Railway Station. Ask the ticket seller for the stop '''Kievskaya trasa'''. From near the stop you can see a road signposted for Kiev.
Participants of the 789 Festival found this a challenging direction to hitchhike, with waiting times typically around 3-5 hours. The road soon becomes a modern motorway where cars are moving far too quickly to stop, so you cannot be easily dropped off and continue onwards. Try to get a lift all the way to your destination.
=== North-West A good 'alternative option' seems to hitch from the WOG service station right at the motorway to Kyiv, located about 1 km from Khimichna/Grushevskogo. We caught a ride straight to [[Chisinau]]Kyiv from there in the middle of a summer night. The service station was pretty busy even at that time, Southoffering all kinds of amenities like free wi-West to [[Romania]] (M15/E87) ===fi and toilets.
Take bus #201 from the main tram stop next between the central station and the big market. Get of at the bus stop '''РОСТ ДАЇ''' (''rost daji'').
[remark: This should be "ПОСТ ДАЇ" (post daji) and not "РОСТ ДАЇ"]
It is easy to recognize, because it is directly before a huge roundabout with a monument in the middle.
[remark: the name of the roundabout is "dva stolba". Everybody knows it, so you can ask the busdriver to drop you off there. Or if you get a lift directly from the centre of Odessa, you may ask people if they drive to "dva stolba" ]
For === North-West to [[Chişinău|Chisinau or ]], South-West to [[Romania you should take the ]] (M15, it is the 2nd from the left (there is a sign/E87). You have bus stop for Marszrutkas where locals hitch rides as well or you can go up the road a few meters if you don't like to many people standing around you. ===
[[User:n0id|n0id]] got a direct lift to Chsinau after five minutes. ====Option 1====
On the M15 just after the Dva Stolba roundabout. It's a huge roundabout with a monument in the middle, called "dva stolba" that people are familiar with by name. It is a busy bus stop for Marszrutkas where locals also hitch rides. You may want to go up the road a few meters to get away from the crowd. You can also take M16 to Chisnau(next road just to the north), but be aware that you will pass through [[Transnistria]].  Getting there:Take Bus 128 or Marshutka 233 west from Velyka Arnauts'ka St in the center to Dva Stolba. Walk to the other side of the circle, 2nd left (there is a sign). Or take bus #201 from the main tram stop next between the central station and the big market. Get of at the bus stop ПОСТ ДАЇ (''post daji'').  == Nomadwiki & Trashwiki == {{nomadwiki}}
