Hitchhiking + CouchSurfing in action
Inspired by the recent reports about the journeys. Continuing the theme.
Everyone has heard about the hitchhiker, but not many of CouchSurfing.
Help from the wiki CouchSurfing, as CS, kauchsёrfing - one of the largest guest networks (exists in the form of on-line service). Brings together more than 3 million people in 246 countries (August 2011). Network members provide free help each other and overnight while traveling and organize joint travel (but, sometimes, by mutual agreement, the guests pay for food or other expenses)
In general, it is the budget way to travel.
Drove my brother, that's about it, I tell you. It all started with the fact that on the Ethno-Eco Festival he saw an ad for a partner for a trip to Malaysia hitchhiking. Fired up this trip and decided to go.
training has been about a week, chose the route, prepared cards with the names of towns and villages in the local language and collected equipment.
route passed through China, Laos, Thailand and Malaysia.
So went. I took them on the road at 5 am to catch a ride first
purpose of the first day - to cross the Chinese border.
it turned out to be problematic. drivers refused to drive for free.
everyone wanted to cash in on tourists
As a result only for dinner and was caught MAZ journey began
road abounds with statues of mountain goats
and eagles
were made here such labels. they "paid" with drivers
inscriptions in three languages: Chinese, Thai and English.
still have a bunch of magnets souvenirs with symbols of Kazakhstan and Almaty
eventually Khorgos on the Chinese side were to 11pm.
large screen on the road. day twist ads and evening movies. local look with pleasure

both managed and transferred
