We need you to organize and take part in this European Hitchhiking Event.
We need you to succeed and get hitchhiking to be recognized as a genuine means of transportation.
We need you to create together the official European Hitchiking Day.
Hitchhike to Paris on 888...08082008...
First, there was the "[[Tokyo|TOKYO]]" hitchhiking sign that two hitchhikers drew to go back from Rotterdam to Lille...
Then, there were the free plane tickets to "Tokyo" that Erik Van Loon offered to the two hitchhikers.
But they called him back too late...
But N-O-W: the "Tokyo" project is getting bigger...and bigger...
