Hi Platschi. Thanks for the ''Hey, welcometo this User talk page. My pleasure adding info about Georgia - I should have more up soonFeel free to leave a note, ask questions or whatever. As for Russia, I don't have much info. The relations between the two countries are very tense right now. I think all of the borders are technically closed. If you do some more research though, maybe you can find a way... --[[User:Wrv1983|Wrv1983]]'

Hi * [[User talk: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. So, find the city calles Jyväskylä. There are 3 thumbs in the map, the wrong texts are: "E63/9/23 westwards..." should be "E63/9/23 east- and southwards...". "West- and southwards..." 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! Annikaarchive|Archive]]

Hey == Bad Oeynhausen ==Hi Ralf! Welcome on hitchwiki. Have you never noticed the bay where drivers can stop, cool just after the traffic lights at the beginning of the Bay Oeyenhausen Bundesstrasse section? Looked like a nice place to see you here :) I guess hitchhike, which, however, we as the transit hitchers will never use, since we will probably never end up there. Although of course, you have something more to contribute ;) can never really say never... --[[User:MrTweekFverhart|MrTweekFverhart]] 1014:0252, 25 3 June 2007 2009 (CESTUTC)

Another welcome:Hey Frank, no, never seen that bay! :) IShould check it next time, but mostly people just drive into town or towards Minden, so they'm looking forward re not even going to your contributions! You can the end of town. So for the lazy people, the first Shell station might be the best option as it's at the beginning when coming from the A2. And, about us as ''signtransit hitchers'' messages on talk pages with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>:) , I got rides towards Oeynhausen several times now, find it quite difficult to get direct rides from Auetal for example to Osnabrück or further most times. [[User:Guaka|Guaka]] 20:41Also, when going east, 25 June 2007 the service station Grönegau sucks most of the time for me (CESTwaiting nearly always >30min) Hey. Then better stick to the on-ramp Melle-Ost 4km before,When you were hitchhiking in Serbia did you do it has a nice spot and lot 's of camping? I'm a bit concerned about camping in places like Serbia and Croatiatraffic going to Oeynhausen, where they apparently have unexploded mines still lying around in various places. Do you know if these are quite common and/or if then can ask at the areas are closed off or what?Thanks! first service station where there's always busy :)ItBut that'd be nice to camp out in the wild there but s probably just what I don't fancy having an 'explosive' time!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.

==Sysop==We donSorry to hear you had such a hard time in Bashkiria. I't really have a policy about this, but MrTweek ve hitchhiked there and I decided to "promote" some never waited more people to sysops on than 5 minutes, just like in the wikirest of Russia. Of course we noticed your great contributions and decided to make If you into didn't get picked up by a sysop :) Check [[project:administrators]] truck right away, it was probably because you were too close to read (a little bit) more about this. [[User:Guaka|Guaka]] 21:08DPS post, 7 August 2007 and truck drivers were too nervous to take two people past it (CESTthey can only have one passenger legally).

Thanks! :) (Not sure if I'm posting my reply Hey Ralf, sagmal wennde in the correct place hereRussland unterwegs bist.) How Gehen die Leute davon aus, dass du was hitchhiking in the Balkans? Do you recommend solo hitchhiking at allzahlst für den Lift. Machst du denen das beim Einsteigen gleich klar, dass du autostop machst und nix zahlen kannst/willst oder aber nehmen dich alle ganz selbstverständlich für umsonst mit? I'm starting to wonder if hitchhiking by myself for my first time could be a bad idea and become lonely, but I'm sure it would give me more opportunities for meeting people along the way!--[[User:MyshkinQuarim|MyshkinQuarim]] 15:0627, 13 August 2007 2 February 2010 (CESTUTC)

danke sehr. Hey thanks for the tutorial! As we are sending more and remembermore people from the CS group, it makes sense to have something to orientate newbies.

My pleasure writing Hallo Platschi! Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm excited to Hitchwikibe apart of this awesome project! Yeah, I read the page for Texas - yikes.

Say Hi to the better are the trips - more they travel Netherlands and Germany for me! Wonderful and more drivers trust us happy adventures. : )Let- Safira (P.S. I's make hitch-hiking big like "in the old days" some drivers mention : m not really sure where to put this response, so hope this is ok!)

:WellHi Zenit, actually MrTweek uploaded the image to not really know who currently does which technical aspect but I'm in some github repositories where some folks work on the wiki. But anyway, on German highways you often see this sign, showing you to the next parking area with some sanitary building. Guess it was intended to be used on one of the highway articles, like [[A2 Contact me by email (Germanyplatschi AT posteo DOT org)]] or something. Just leave it there, we'll use it for sure someday ;) Nice work with the cleanup anyway and I guide you further :) [[User:platschi|platschi]]<small>^{[http://blogs.hitchwiki.org/platschi site], [[user talk:--platschi|wikitalk]]}</small> 00:42, 4 September 2008 (CEST)

I'm starting on the 27th, going via Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, towards BG. For what I know is that Serbians celebrate christmas on 7 January, but Croatians and Bulgarians on 25/26th. Confusing! :) So maybe crossing Serbia might not be a problems an example of such edits. We'll see. Good luck on the last kilometers home, and please also report about current weather conditions in the Balkans! Cheers, --[[User:Platschi|Platschi]] 14:09, 21 December 2008 (UTC)EDIT::Sorry, no really I do not have any information about the trucks as I had none with a truck. However, hitching was fairly simple as everybody was in Christmas mood. Weather was fine (except for Turkey where it was raining when I wanted to start) and the streets free, however, the week earlier there was a snow chaos and for the next days they report some snow in Eastern Austria... so check the news, plan short and organise accommodation in a couple of cities (e.g. Wien and Belgrade).
