Hitchhike to Paris on 888...08082008...
==The History of the 888 Project==
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[[File: 888_signs.jpg|thumb|240px|left|A small collection of the [[Paris]] [[signs]] for the [[Project 888]] where over 150 hitchhikers gathered and camped in front of the "Tokyo" project is getting biggerEiffel Tower.]] == Meet-Up ==We welcome the Paris community to host us hitchhikers, coming to Paris on 888.Please come to Champs de Mars [http://turl.ca/888 here] and bigger...join in to welcome us!
==The checkpoint cities==We will gather in front of the Eiffel Tower, at this [http://turl.ca/888 exact location]: from anytime during the day until around 23:00 (or later even maybe). We are still calling for adventurous hosts from Paris to show up and spontaneously host all of us - but you might want to bring your tent!
The goal of the checkpoint cities is to help hitchhikers through their journey through evening meetingsThe goal of having several rings is to ensure that we help hitchhikers to progressively get to Paris in all safety.== Coordinate! ==
*__TOC__The Morning Volunteers'''888 Project''' seeks to ask you to hitchhike from all corners of Europe and beyond (whether from [[Belfast]], [[Istanbul]], [[Helsinki]] or [[Lisbon]]) to arrive at the Eiffel Tower - this world-renowned French lighthouse - in [[Paris]] on 888, August 8th, 2008. Participate in the first European Hitchhiking Week and Day and take part in the open space day on Saturday: "How to live a nomad-life", on hitchhiking, sustainable travel and hospitality exchange, with games, workshops, skill-sharing and knowledge exchange.
There will be volunteers helping hitchhikers leave any given city on any given ring on the actual hitchhiking spot at dawn.
The volunteers will provide hitchhikers with tips and advice.
*The Evening Meetings
