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! Should check it next time, but mostly people just drive into town or towards Minden, so they're not even going to 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 ''transit hitchers'' :) , Igot rides towards Oeynhausen several times now, find it quite difficult to get direct rides from Auetal for example to Osnabrück or further most times. Also, when going east, the service station Grönegau sucks most of the time for me (waiting nearly always >30min). Then better stick to the on-ramp Melle-Ost 4km before, it has a nice spot and lot'm looking forward s of traffic going to your contributions! You Oeynhausen, where you then can ask at the first service station where there's always busy :) But that'sign'' messages on talk pages with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>s probably just what I think about it... :) --[[User:GuakaPlatschi|GuakaPlatschi]] 2014:4138, 25 4 June 2007 2009 (CESTUTC)

Hey::Hi Ralf. The bay to the east is just at the beginning of Bad Oeyenhausen,When you were hitchhiking in Serbia did you do a lot just after the end of camping? the A30. It's logically at the beginning, how Iremember there'm s a bit concerned about camping 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 places like Serbia 3 minutes and Croatiagot a lift of 151 km to Zweidorfer Holz, where they apparently have unexploded mines still lying around 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 various places. Do .. If you know if these are quite common and/or if the areas are closed off or what?Thanks! :)It'd be nice asked me, I would try to camp out in the wild there avoid Bay Oeyenhausen, but I don't fancy having an 'explosive' time!ve passed by no more than five-six times. --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] 08:43, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

:::Hey Frank, just used the bay a week ago and got a ride offer to Leipzig there within not even one minute. It was traffic jam though, but works pretty fine :) Indeed there's a city map also; just put some little more information on the Oeynhausen article.Indeed you can avoid Oeynhausen, but when going onto the A30 or coming from there it's impossible not to get through there ;) --[[User:MyshkinPlatschi|MyshkinPlatschi]] 1217:2709, 17 August 2007 24 October 2009 (UTC)===Liftpunt.Tk===Hi, fellow Dutch hitchhiker.

Hey Platschi! Thanks for your welcome message:) Sorry if I'm writing in the wrong place. I just discovered hitchwiki, what an amazing resourse! I am planning my first-ever hitchhiking trip to Western Europe in April-May. It is a bit scary, but I'm finding a lot of useful information here. As of yet, I don't have much to contribute, but wait till I get there! :=)) --[[User:Skovorodkin|Serge Kosh]] 21:36, 19 March 2008 (CET)= Russia ==

Hi Platschi; cheers for the thumbs up :-) I'm off myself for a wee trip Sorry to my lass in a few hours, should be at Oldenzaal-Zuid around 14:00 :-) Taking bus 64 from my home anyway :-)Funny that hear you've been giving had such a bunch of street corners hard time in Bentheim and Schüttorf hitching spots..Bashkiria. I usually 've hitchhiked there and never waited more than 5 minutes, just walk between these two villages; like in the Bentheimerwald is very nicerest of Russia. Cheers! [[User:Clint.hotvedt|clint.hotvedt]] 09:40If you didn't get picked up by a truck right away, it was probably because you were too close to a DPS post, 13 May 2009 and truck drivers were too nervous to take two people past it (UTCthey can only have one passenger legally).

==Sysop==We don't really have a policy about this:Hey Ralf, but MrTweek and I decided to "promote" some more people to sysops on the wikisagmal wennde in Russland unterwegs bist. Of course we noticed your great contributions and decided to make you into a sysop :) Check [[project:administrators]] to read (a little bit) more about thisGehen die Leute davon aus, dass du was zahlst 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? --[[User:GuakaQuarim|GuakaQuarim]] 2115:0827, 7 August 2007 2 February 2010 (CESTUTC)

Thanks! :) (Not sure if I'm posting my reply :Moin, quatsch, trampen is genau wie in the correct place hereDeutschland bspw.) How was hitchhiking in the Balkans? Do you recommend solo hitchhiking at all? I'm starting to wonder if hitchhiking by myself for my first time could be a bad idea and become lonelyauch. Nur beim "raustrampen" aus Moskau wurd ich n paar mal gefragt nach Geld, bzw. es gibt halt auch "private Taxis" die rumfahren, aber das bekommt man direkt raus wenn man ne Richtung/Ort angibt/erfragt und die direkt nachfragen wieviel du zahlst. Aber sonst, but I'm sure it would give me more opportunities for meeting people along the way!easy peasy. --[[User:MyshkinPlatschi|MyshkinPlatschi]] 1518:0619, 13 August 2007 2 February 2010 (CESTUTC)

HeyHallo Platschi! Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm excited to be apart of this awesome project! Yeah, I read the page for Texas - yikes. The state might not be so promising, but Austin is asking to be explored hitchwise. I'll see what I can do! Say Hi to the Netherlands and Germany for me! Wonderful and happy adventures. :) - Safira (P.S. I'm not really sure where to put this response, Platschiso hope this is ok!)

My pleasure writing to Hitchwiki== Get an English spelling checker. The more people know, the better are the trips - more they travel and more drivers trust us : )Let's make hitch-hiking big like "in the old days" some drivers mention : ).. ==

Your user page category has been changed to '''Category:Hitchhikers m in Germany''' because from now on this (along with the old Category:Hitchhikers) will be a standard categorization for hitchhikers on hitchwiki.org (see [[Category talk:Hitchhikers|this discussion here]] for the reasons of doing so). If for some reason you don't want to be categorized by country, feel free to delete country category on your page leaving only a standard Category:Hitchhikers. We hope you don't mind, though.  Happy hitching,  The hitchwiki team ==christmas & turkish trucks==Normally, they should not have off and drive as Muslims do not celebrate Christmas, but Eid al-Adha / Kurban Bayramı that was this year beginning of December. However, it might be that they do not drive to/from Christian places as the companies are closed there. I try to think of it and asked around the next couple of days as I will come up this route the next days. --[[User:Alex|Alex]] 18:36, 20 December 2008 (UTC) :Hey alex, thanks for picking up github repositories where some info! I'm starting folks work on the 27th, going via Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, towards BGwiki. 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 problem. 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 Contact me by email (UTC)::Sorry, 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 startplatschi AT posteo DOT org) 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).
