the paradise of the Hitch hiker (autostop)
TURKEY | Wednesday, 8 November 2006 | Views [845]
After Denizli, Pammukkale and Hieropolis, we finally started to hitch hike !! as soon as we started to hitch hike, we experienced some incredible things ... sometimes you don't need to show your thumb. Just walk along the road wıth your back pack, and someone will stop for you !
if the person can't drive you further, he will talk to another driver to make sure you don't have to wait.
Truck drivers, with whom we had difficulties to communicate because of dıfferent languages, gave us without discussions big meals, fruits, coffee or tea ... these were not exceptions: the culture is like this: the foreign person is considered as someone really special. Meals or even accomodation were proposed quite often during our 2 weeks trip.
This kinds of events are quite rare in Europe... We are really thankfull to the people we met on our way here in Turkey. They were so helpful in every moments.
