It is a member state of the [[European Union]] as well as the [[Schengen Agreement]]. The country is divided into a Dutch speaking part in the North ([[Flanders]]), and a French speaking part in the South (Wallonie) and a tiny German speaking part in the East. [[Brussels]], the country and European capital, has a bilingual status. In Flanders most people will be able to help you out easily in English. In French speaking Belgium English is quite a bit less commonly spoken, but on the whole people will be able to help you out (especially younger people). |transport=Public transport is extensive and affordable to a certain point. === Trains === Trains are expensive, but there's a good deal to be had. For 76 euros if your 26+ and for 51 euro if you're 26-, you can get a Rail Pass (it's called: GO PASS), which gives you 10 rides from any train station to any other train station in Belgium.

On weekends (from Friday after 19h until Sunday evening), the return ticket is reduced by 50% which is good option for a weekend evasion within the country. The Go-Pass/Rail-Pass is a 10 journeys ticket that allows you to go everywhere in the country (borders excluded). The Go-Pass cost EUR 51 (so EUR 5.10/journey) and is for the -26, although if you don't look too old you probably won't be asked to prove your age. A Go-Pass 1 costs EUR 6 for a single journey between 2 Belgian station. The Rail-Pass, for those over 26, costs EUR 76. The Go-Pass is a good option to go from one side of the country to another. The pass is valid for a year from the date of purchase. === Buses/Tram === * In Flanders (north), the public transport company is [http://www.delijn.be/ DeLijn] which completes the train services into the rural towns and inside the urbanised areas. It is possible to buy a 'LijnKaart' which saves you on the cost of local transport. Tickets from ticket machine or in shops give you 25% discount. The current price of a Lijnkaart is EUR 14.00. Once validated you can change buses and trams for up to one hour. * In [[Brussels]], public transport are provided by the [http://www.stib.be/index.htm?guest_user=guest_en STIB/MIVB].

Also many late night corner stores. As of January 2014 there's a weekly(?) Sunday evening peoples kitchen in Rue Royale 123/Koningsstraat 123: http://www.123rueroyale.be/ Every Saturday from 18h you can get a tasty vegetarian dish for free contribution at Allee Du Kaai, Avenue du Port 53, 1000 Bruxelles. This is their website: http://toestand.be/en/alleedukaai/activiteiten/ Allee du Kaai is the result of a concept which makes the abandoned buildings along the Canal a meeting place for social and creative projects and activities, for a temporary time (in 2018 they have to leave!). Barlok is one of the buildings ('hangars') where they organise concerts, they have a hacklab, artist residences and a freeshop. More infos on their website barlok.be (in french). Magasin4 is a concert venue in another 'hangar'. See program: magasin4.be On some days they serve a vegetarian meal in the underground bar of Cinema Nova: look for 'Table d'hôte' on their program. Website: http://www.nova-cinema.org The cinema is almost completely run by volunteers. There is a very friendly atmosphere, interesting screenings and festivals, sometimes little exhibitions and concerts, and downstairs healthy juices and good beers. I think the meal is 5euros. And there is more for lovers of cinema: Cinematek has a huge film archive, including silent films with live piano. Furthermore there is: Actor's studio, Cinema Aventure and Cinema Galleries with quality film but for full price All 5 cinemas are in the city center! On Thursday there is a fresh market in Molenbeek, Parvis de Saint-Jean-Baptiste and Place Communale Molenbeek, market closes around 1pm. Friday-Saturday-Sunday there is the biggest fresh market in the former cattle market and slaughterhouse, so address is Abattoir d' Anderlecht, and closes around 2pm. At Sunday closing time they throw away a lot of ripe fruits and vegetables. On Sunday there is also another one: Marché du Midi, if you go there around 1-2pm they will start closing and they often throw away some ripe fruits and vegetables. If you are interested in local and organic fresh markets, there is a tiny one at Place St.-Catherine on Wednesday mornings and a good one is Marché bio des Tanneurs, in a building, Rue des Tanneurs 60, open in the afternoon, closed on Mondays.

[[Blackriding]] is pretty easy but don't go to the big stations and crossing between lines in the same station is risky! they don't come on to the trains in the metro (although they might on the RER) Public transport in Paris consists of a metro (lines from number 1 to 14), RER (fast trains serving the suburbs with relatively few inner city stops, lines from letter A to E), buses (lines from number 20 to ...?) and trams (lines from T1 to T4). If you want to make a few voyages, the cheapest option is to buy a carnet of 10 single tickets (EUR 12.70 instead of 1.70 each - January 2012). You can travel to the end of RER lines for about EUR 15. If you stay in Paris for several days and will use transport often you can also buy a pass "Mobilis" for one or several days (EUR 6.40 for one day inside Paris, zones 1 & 2) - it is valid on metro, RER and ground transportation. If you stay for a week or more - consider getting a "Passe Navigo découverte", which is a chargeable card with picture (EUR 5 to make). You can then buy a weekly ticket for EUR 17.20. Note that this replaces the former "Carte Orange". All prices as of Winter 2010. '''Blackriding''' You can [[Blackriding|blackride]] easily, just check for uniformed controllers before you pass the gates. The easiest way to get in on RER or Metro is to find the entrance where there are doors for people with big luggage. This way you can easily pass with them, several people at a time, no problem. Alternatively you can jump the turnstile if you are fast enough and hold the door thing open after someone has passed. It is quite easy to ask people to go in with them through the baggage gate but also you can just follow without asking. If you do get caught just give your ID and no address. They will ask if you have a French address and you say no. You don't have to sign anything they give you. They should give you a piece of paper with a fine written on it, but since there is no address don't worry. '''Fines and punishments''' French transport police won't make any exceptions for foreigners. Although it is said it might be possible to talk them out of fining a "dumb tourist" they are mainly hostile. Most commonly they will ask for a EUR 40 fine which can be paid directly in cash or by credit card. Alternatively you can plead poverty, and if you show a valid ID they will post a fine to the address and the name written on ID. ==== Metro system ==== Ticket checks never occur on actual metro trains, and ticket controllers seem to employ 1 of 2 approaches: first one includes ticket controllers forming a line inside a metro tunnel or station exit and checking all the exiting travellers (since they are uniformed it is easy to see them from a distance unless they decide to hide around the corner); second one involves civil-dressed controllers watching the gates and busting those jumping over - they'll either stop them directly themselves, or radio-report to uniformed controllers who then will ask a stopped person to show a valid ticket. Checks are said never to occur during rush hours; peak times for these controls are evenings, weekends and the beginning of a new month. Except for the major stations, it is pretty easy to jump over the barriers, or pass through following other people passing to the ticket-zone. Only on major stations one is required to have a validated ticket when exiting. As in some other countries, one can be relax about the ticket booth staff since they have nothing to do with ticket checks. ==== RER system ==== Uniformed controllers will ask for validated tickets on [[train]]s, and since the RER shares the Metro infrastructure, you might be a subject to the checks in similar order mentioned above. It is possible to travel for free, even though you stand a higher chance of being busted. It seems that checks can occur at any time, so the best time to travel for free is a rush hour when controls are impossible due to congestion. The highest risk of being checked seems to occur on transfer stations from RER to Metro stations. There are 2 big ones, Chatelet and Gare du Nord. If there is control at one of them, try the other. At Gare du Nord it seems the luggage entrance is a little more hidden than at Chatelet so even if there are controllers you can probably pass quickly if there are lots of people around. On some RER stations that are also train stations controllers wait in the tunnels when you go down to change between platforms. You often need your ticket to get out of the stations, as price varies according to the distance. Make sure not to lose it as it can be tricky to get out otherwise. ==== Buses ==== Like in most cities of [[France]], you can walk onto the bus without showing or validating a ticket. Checks are said to be rare, and occur mainly late at night. * [http://www.ratp.fr/ Public transportation of Paris] * [http://www.voyages-sncf.com/ Trains and regional transports], ticket agency === Vélib’ bicycle rental system === The grey bicycles a lot of people are riding on can be rented easily. Just look for a rental station within the Peripherique, you can register there with a credit card that is good for 150€ credit. A daily rental pass costs EUR 1.70, a week is EUR 8 (January 2012). With these passes you can rent a [[bicycle]] for 30 minutes for free as often as you want. Make sure to return it within those 30 Minutes or you will have to pay additional fees. And once you put it, you can directly after take another bike for another 30 free minutes, and so on. Check the English [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%A9lib%27 Wikipedia Vélib' article] for more information. Great and cheap way to get around. ===Walking=== If you stay inside Paris and you have time, walking is a great option because in some cases it will take you just a bit more time than public transportation and is much more relaxed. |accommodation=Expensive unless you camp. Every municipality is supposed to have a [[free camping]] spot. ===Hospitality exchange=== [[Hospitality exchange]] networks can be a great choice when staying low-budget in Paris. However, one must plan usually such staying well ahead since Paris is a popular destination for many backpackers, and many hospitality exchange networks' members are usually overloaded with requests to have guests. ===Free camping=== It is also possible to sleep in the ''Champs de Mars'' in front of the Eiffel Tower - police generally let you sleep until 9 or 10 in the morning. There are many trees that offer you a protection in case of a rain. You can also put up a [[tent]] (at night) in a discrete spot although keep in mind that police officers will wake you up around the sunrise. You can also sleep under the bridge or near the boats along the Seine river on the other side of the Eiffel Tower. During the first [[Europe]]an Hitchhikers Week ([http://hitchwiki.org/en/Project_888 Project 888]) around 50 people slept in front of the Eiffel Tower. There are also good places to sleep in the tunnels of Montsouris, which are part of old railway network. It is a hidden place and maybe the most well-known unofficial entrance to the famous Paris Catacombs. You must climb over a wall near the intersection of Avenue Jean Moulin and Rue de Coulmiers ([http://is.gd/hC1Px Google maps]). ===In the Catacombs=== It is possible to sleep in the catacombs as well. To reach them go down the stairs and turn right. In the middle of the long tunnel there is a hole at the right. Be advised that you should not enter the Catacombs alone or without a person who has a lot of experience climbing around the Paris underground. It is an extremely complicated system of tunnels, perhaps the second largest in the world. In many rooms of the Catacombs you can find a luxury of places to sleep, but you can just as easily get lost in areas where nobody has been or will go for months. The few people who live in the Catacombes might become aggressive when you meet them. Sometimes the ground is full of water, around 20cm high. Print a [http://www.google.com/search?q=plan+catacombes map of the catacombes.] === Free showers === At [http://www.paris.fr/pratique/personnes-en-grande-precarite/vivre-au-quotidien/bains-douches-municipaux/rub_5365_stand_8972_port_11521 Bains-douches municipaux] you can find a map of places where you can have [[free shower]]s in Paris. ''Bains-Douches'' are open from Monday to Sunday, they open from 07:00 until 18:00, best option is check timetable on Paris' website. Don't go to Bain-douche Castagnary because it is closed! Also you should get there 30 minutes before the closing time or you will not be allowed inside. Showers are free but you need to bring your own soap and towel. === Shakespeare and Company´s bookshop === [http://shakespeareandcompany.com/ Shakespeare and Company´s bookshop] offer something they call the ´Tumbleweed´ programme. George Whitman, who founded the store and opened their doors for travellers and authors in 1951 was a self proclaimed ´Tumbleweed´, as mentioned on the website: ´A self-proclaimed "tumbleweed", blowing from place to place´. The only requirement for staying there is that they have space, you are tidy, you read a book a day and you write a one page biography about yourself. Inside George Whitman's old room in the store, there are reportedly thousands of these biographies on the walls. |food=There is plenty of food wasted every day, like many, all western european cities. check [http://trashwiki.org/en/Paris the Trashwiki page] for more detailed info |connectivity=Free wifi in many places, libraries with free computers also.

On the Avenue des Champs-Élysées there are two fast-food restaurants called Quick, they have free WiFi and also electric sockets and the personnel will not bother you for using them. And there is one Apple store or maybe just a PC store with computers free to use and they also have Internet, but you can't use Facebook and the personal will not allow you to charge your phone there. On the same Avenue des Champs-Élysées 71-73 There is a tea shop "Kusmi Tea" and a bench nearby free WiFi called Kousmichoff. If you come after they are closed, you can use the socket that is outside by the base of the window. That helped me a lot late at night once. You can surf on the internet for free in the library of Centre Pompidou either you have a laptop or not. |busking=Paris as most of other, is a permit city. You can though easily busk in many places without any trouble, and if you act like a foreigner, police won't care too much. It's hard to get in trouble around the small streets of the latin quarter and montmartre works pretty well too! To busk in the metro though you need a very difficult to get permit, for which there are audition in September and February, without that forget about buskin in the underground zone.. |bewelcome-link=http://www.bewelcome.org/places/France/FR/%C3%8Ele-de-France/A8/Paris/2988507 }} [[hitch:Paris]] [[visa:Paris]] [[trash:Paris]] [[velo:Paris]] [[couch:Paris]] pqmmwf82tgwzdvr44hoz0px2oa7zdss 225 224 2015-07-22T00:16:19Z Guaka 1 225 wikitext text/x-wiki {{City |country=France |transport====Public transport=== Fast [[train]]s are expensive and less fast trains are not very practical to get around.

If you stay for a week or more - consider getting a "Passe Navigo découverte", which is a chargeable card with picture (EUR 5 to make). You can then buy a weekly ticket for EUR 17.20. Note that this replaces the former "Carte Orange". All prices as of Winter 2010. ===[[Blackriding]] === You can [[Blackriding|blackride]] easily, just check for uniformed controllers before you pass the gates. The easiest way to get in on RER or Metro is to find the entrance where there are doors for people with big luggage. This way you can easily pass with them, several people at a time, no problem. Alternatively you can jump the turnstile if you are fast enough and hold the door thing open after someone has passed. Different stations have different types of gates, but it is always possible to find a place that can be jumped or follow somebody closely or go in the exit gate. Some exit gates have a sensor on the other side, so you can wave your hand or a jacket in front of it and it will open. It is quite easy to ask people to go in with them through the baggage gate but also you can just follow without asking. Many people are very understanding and helpful and some will let you in when they see you looking for a good spot, without you even asking.If you stand near the gates for a couple minutes during a busy time you'll likely see somebody else blackriding, as it is so common, so just do what they do. If you do get caught just give your ID and no address. They will ask if you have a French address and you say no. You don't have to sign anything they give you. They should give you a piece of paper with a fine written on it, but since there is no address don't worry. ====Fines and punishments==== French transport police won't make any exceptions for foreigners. Although it is said it might be possible to talk them out of fining a "dumb tourist" they are mainly hostile. Most commonly they will ask for a EUR 40 fine which can be paid directly in cash or by credit card. Alternatively you can plead poverty, and if you show a valid ID they will post a fine to the address and the name written on ID. ==== Metro system ==== Ticket checks never occur on actual metro trains, and ticket controllers seem to employ 1 of 2 approaches: first one includes ticket controllers forming a line inside a metro tunnel or station exit and checking all the exiting travellers (since they are uniformed it is easy to see them from a distance unless they decide to hide around the corner); second one involves civil-dressed controllers watching the gates and busting those jumping over - they'll either stop them directly themselves, or radio-report to uniformed controllers who then will ask a stopped person to show a valid ticket. Checks are said never to occur during rush hours; peak times for these controls are evenings, weekends and the beginning of a new month. Except for the major stations, it is pretty easy to jump over the barriers, or pass through following other people passing to the ticket-zone. Only on major stations one is required to have a validated ticket when exiting. As in some other countries, one can be relax about the ticket booth staff since they have nothing to do with ticket checks. ==== RER system ==== Uniformed controllers will ask for validated tickets on [[train]]s, and since the RER shares the Metro infrastructure, you might be a subject to the checks in similar order mentioned above. It is possible to travel for free, even though you stand a higher chance of being busted. It seems that checks can occur at any time, so the best time to travel for free is a rush hour when controls are impossible due to congestion. The highest risk of being checked seems to occur on transfer stations from RER to Metro stations. There are 2 big ones, Chatelet and Gare du Nord. If there is control at one of them, try the other. At Gare du Nord it seems the luggage entrance is a little more hidden than at Chatelet so even if there are controllers you can probably pass quickly if there are lots of people around. On some RER stations that are also train stations controllers wait in the tunnels when you go down to change between platforms. You often need your ticket to get out of the stations, as price varies according to the distance. Make sure not to lose it as it can be tricky to get out otherwise. ==== Buses ==== Like in most cities of [[France]], you can walk onto the bus without showing or validating a ticket. Checks are said to be rare, and occur mainly late at night. * [http://www.ratp.fr/ Public transportation of Paris] * [http://www.voyages-sncf.com/ Trains and regional transports], ticket agency === Vélib’ bicycle rental system === The grey bicycles a lot of people are riding on can be rented easily. Just look for a rental station within the Peripherique, you can register there with a credit card that is good for 150€ credit. A daily rental pass costs EUR 1.70, a week is EUR 8 (January 2012). With these passes you can rent a [[bicycle]] for 30 minutes for free as often as you want. Make sure to return it within those 30 Minutes or you will have to pay additional fees. And once you put it, you can directly after take another bike for another 30 free minutes, and so on. Check the English [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%A9lib%27 Wikipedia Vélib' article] for more information. Great and cheap way to get around. ===Walking=== If you stay inside Paris and you have time, walking is a great option because in some cases it will take you just a bit more time than public transportation and is much more relaxed. === Going to ''Charles de Gaulle''/''Roissy'' airport === Bus line 350 goes to ''Gare de l'Est'', and line 351 - to ''Place de la Nation''. You're supposed to validate 3 tickets (which is a lot cheaper than travelling by RER); checks are said to occur rarely. If you are heading south and you are gonna start in Villabé anyway , I'd recommend to sleep there. It seems that they leave the train station open , and from my experience there were no trains during the night. And if you are the outdoor man type you can find piece of grass there. |accommodation=Expensive unless you camp. Every municipality is supposed to have a [[free camping]] spot. ===Hospitality exchange=== [[Hospitality exchange]] networks can be a great choice when staying low-budget in Paris. However, one must plan usually such staying well ahead since Paris is a popular destination for many backpackers, and many hospitality exchange networks' members are usually overloaded with requests to have guests. ===Free camping=== It is also possible to sleep in the ''Champs de Mars'' in front of the Eiffel Tower - police generally let you sleep until 9 or 10 in the morning. There are many trees that offer you a protection in case of a rain. You can also put up a [[tent]] (at night) in a discrete spot although keep in mind that police officers will wake you up around the sunrise. You can also sleep under the bridge or near the boats along the Seine river on the other side of the Eiffel Tower. During the first [[Europe]]an Hitchhikers Week ([http://hitchwiki.org/en/Project_888 Project 888]) around 50 people slept in front of the Eiffel Tower. Also note, there are rats that will unzip your bag and take things at night. There are also good places to sleep in the tunnels of Montsouris, which are part of old railway network. It is a hidden place and maybe the most well-known unofficial entrance to the famous Paris Catacombs. You must climb over a wall near the intersection of Avenue Jean Moulin and Rue de Coulmiers ([http://is.gd/hC1Px Google maps]). ===In the Catacombs=== It is possible to sleep in the catacombs as well. To reach them go down the stairs and turn right. In the middle of the long tunnel there is a hole at the right. Be advised that you should not enter the Catacombs alone or without a person who has a lot of experience climbing around the Paris underground. It is an extremely complicated system of tunnels, perhaps the second largest in the world. In many rooms of the Catacombs you can find a luxury of places to sleep, but you can just as easily get lost in areas where nobody has been or will go for months. The few people who live in the Catacombes might become aggressive when you meet them. Sometimes the ground is full of water, around 20cm high. Print a [http://www.google.com/search?q=plan+catacombes map of the catacombes.] === Free showers === At [http://www.paris.fr/pratique/personnes-en-grande-precarite/vivre-au-quotidien/bains-douches-municipaux/rub_5365_stand_8972_port_11521 Bains-douches municipaux] you can find a map of places where you can have [[free shower]]s in Paris. ''Bains-Douches'' are open from Monday to Sunday, they open from 07:00 until 18:00, best option is check timetable on Paris' website. Don't go to Bain-douche Castagnary because it is closed! Also you should get there 30 minutes before the closing time or you will not be allowed inside. Showers are free but you need to bring your own soap and towel. === Shakespeare and Company´s bookshop === [http://shakespeareandcompany.com/ Shakespeare and Company´s bookshop] offer something they call the ´Tumbleweed´ programme. George Whitman, who founded the store and opened their doors for travellers and authors in 1951 was a self proclaimed ´Tumbleweed´, as mentioned on the website: ´A self-proclaimed "tumbleweed", blowing from place to place´. The only requirement for staying there is that they have space, you are tidy, you read a book a day and you write a one page biography about yourself. Inside George Whitman's old room in the store, there are reportedly thousands of these biographies on the walls. |bewelcome-link=http://www.bewelcome.org/places/France/FR/%C3%8Ele-de-France/A8/Paris/2988507 |warmshowers-link=https://www.warmshowers.org/search/wsuser/Paris%2C%20Île-de-France%7C48.8534%7C2.3486 |food=There is plenty of food wasted every day, like many, all western european cities. check [http://trashwiki.org/en/Paris the Trashwiki page] for more detailed info |connectivity=Free wifi in many places, libraries with free computers also.

Look for the "Paris Wi-Fi" ([http://opendata.paris.fr/opendata/jsp/site/Portal.jsp?document_id=125&portlet_id=102 map]) Go to Apple Store behind Opera Garnier or to Apple Store under Louvre Museum in the Carrousel de Louvre. [http://bibliotheque.equipement.paris.fr/ Libraries] offer free [[Internet]]. If you have your own laptop it's practically unlimited otherwise it's free just 15 minutes using library's computers. On the Avenue des Champs-Élysées there are two fast-food restaurants called Quick, they have free WiFi and also electric sockets and the personnel will not bother you for using them. And there is one Apple store or maybe just a PC store with computers free to use and they also have Internet, but you can't use Facebook and the personal will not allow you to charge your phone there. On the same Avenue des Champs-Élysées 71-73 There is a tea shop "Kusmi Tea" and a bench nearby free WiFi called Kousmichoff. If you come after they are closed, you can use the socket that is outside by the base of the window. That helped me a lot late at night once. You can surf on the internet for free in the library of Centre Pompidou either you have a laptop or not. |busking=Paris as most of other, is a permit city. You can though easily busk in many places without any trouble, and if you act like a foreigner, police won't care too much. It's hard to get in trouble around the small streets of the latin quarter and montmartre works pretty well too! To busk in the metro though you need a very difficult to get permit, for which there are audition in September and February, without that forget about buskin in the underground zone.. }} ===[[Free Shop]]s=== There's a brand new free shop where you can find cloths, shoes, and random objects you may find useful (or not): Siga-Siga 181 avenue Daumesnil Paris 12e Métro : Daumesnil (Lines 6 and 8) http://laboutiquesansargent.org/ Opened from monday till saturday, from 10:00 AM to 01:00 PM and from 02:00 PM to 06:00 PM [[velo:Paris]] [[trash:Paris]] [[couch:Paris]] 3q1nqxtpokh8gnjrt1jb4y3yrecj2bv 0 66 227 2013-05-08T23:22:56Z Guaka 1 Created page with "{{Transport company |type=bus |countries=Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia |price indication=cheap and slow |website=http://www.eurolines.com/en/ }}" 227 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Transport company |type=bus |countries=Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia |price indication=cheap and slow |website=http://www.eurolines.com/en/ }} i82o4qahsup0txec3kvkzjcwk93ate3 228 227 2013-05-09T00:11:15Z Guaka 1 228 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Transport company |type=bus |countries=Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia |price indication=cheap and slow |website=http://www.eurolines.com/en/ }} [[File:Eurolines Bova.

In many countries it's mostly frowned upon, but even in a place like [[Amsterdam]] there are many situations where bargaining can work. Open air markets are a good bet.

In many countries it's mostly frowned upon, but even in a place like [[Amsterdam]] there are many situations where bargaining can work. Open air markets are a good bet. When no price is indicated, as is common in the Middle East, you're usually supposed to bargain. In some countries you will have to bargain for 1 minutes, but in others bargaining is a national sport and you can really stay 10 minutes or more discussing the price. Bargaining is a learning: you might no be good at it in the first place, but as soon as you realize the savings you can do and that you are not hurting the people, it is definitely a good skill to have. More than just getting a good price, you can actually earn respect from people and not seing you as a walking wallet only. '''Before buying''' anything, think about two things. '''First''', what should be the price of this item? Compare to the price of your homeland or some countries you visited and try to estimate how much this could be. Before buying, have looks around and if possible find some boards with an indicated price. '''Secondly''' fix yourself an upper limit: "I'm not paying more than this" and stick to it. If your estimation was wrong in the first place, and the seller doesn't want, you will just have lost time. Then start to negotiate by casually asking the price. As much as you can, don't look interested, and if they make you try the fruit for example, don't put a happy face like "WOOOOW they are delicious!!!" or the price is likely to rise. This can be tricky, but you can always try the "I have seen the same for cheaper in another shop"-technique, but they know the prices better than you so if you say something impossible, you loose your credibility. In the same idea but safer, you can tell it is even cheaper in your home country, and this is something they cannot really check. Remember that sellers will not sell you something if they loose money in the transaction, so don't feel guilty. If the sellers accepts the price, it means it was a good price, or that he already screwed you! They often will look disappointed, but this doesn't mean they made a bad deal with you, it is a kind of theatrical play for them. Now if you don't stay long in a country, if you don't really speak the language for example, you will never get the local price. But at least, you will not have to pay the tourist price, just the nomad one ;) In some countries, it seems that generally men try to fool you and women never. As well, you can try to go away and the seller might run you after offering a better price. However this is really different between regions of the world and even inside a country (for example between [[Bangkok]] and the countryside of [[Thailand]]).

The latter is considerably cheaper. Both ferries also stop in [[Maarianhamina]] ([[Åland Islands|Ahvenanmaa]]), or [[Mariehamn]] ([[Åland Islands|Åland]]), as its Swedish-speaking population calls it. It is possible to buy a deck ticket to Maarianhamina only and yet ride the whole way as nobody is checking. The two companies which run ferries between Finland and Sweden are [http://www.vikingline.fi ''Viking Line''] and [http://www.silja.com ''Silja Line'']. Both of the companies are focused on bringing the customers a cruise-experience, and are bound to be tacky. ''Viking Line'' sells cheaper tickets without a cabin, too, which would be rather useless on the daytime trips between [[Turku]] and [[Stockholm]] anyway. As of June 2016, a morning ferry from Stockholm to Turku (and vice-versa) costs €15, and Stockholm-Helsinki (and vice versa) costs from €88 (the latter includes compulsory cabin reservation, and prices vary according to season; also, special offers can put the price below €10). ''Silja Line'' is the posher of the two, and thus more expensive. It's still tacky, though. The ''Viking Line'' cruise ships have free tourist maps of Turku at their information desks on board. Be aware, though, that if you take a daytime cruise (which is about half the price), you will arrive in Turku at night. During the autumn, winter and early spring that means no daylight which is no help for hitchhiking. In winter nights, extremely cold temperatures might occur as well. A decidedly more exciting option is to do island hopping on the small [http://www.alandstrafiken.ax/en ''car ferries''] running from Turku to Maarianhamina. For foot passengers, this option is free. You can continue to Sweden with one of the above mentioned companies or [https://www.eckeroline.fi/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/TopCategoriesDisplay?catalogId=10001&storeId=10151 "Eckerö Lines"] There are also ferries crossing the Bothnic Gulf from the Finnish city of [[Vaasa]] to the Swedish city of [[Umea]] and vice-versa. The ferry goes eight times a week (see the schedule [http://www.umeavasa.com/en/index.php# here]). Crossing will cost you around 30 euro but it is a quite comfortable trip. ==== From/to Estonia ==== There is no land connection between Finland and [[Estonia]]. There are many daily ferries from [[Helsinki]] to [[Tallinn]]. It takes 1-3 hours (most ferries 2h), costs about 20-50 euros (the cheapest tickets you should try to book in advance). You can hitch sail and motor boats from Tallinn and Pirita marinas during the summer. Especially Sunday mornings are good when Finns return from their weekend trips. Cars pay also per passanger so it's not possible to hitch a car to the ferry for free. ===Ferry companies=== * [http://www.tallinksilja.com/ Tallink & Silja Line] * [http://www.vikingline.com/ Viking Line] * [https://www.eckeroline.fi/en Eckerö Line] * [http://www.lindaliini.ee/en/ Linda Line] |accommodation=Accommodation is expensive but [[hospitality exchange]] works pretty well.

[[Camping]] is legal almost anywhere in Finland, just stay slightly out of sight and you can even camp next to [[highway|motorways]].]] Like the other Nordic countries, Finland has everyman's right (''jokamiehenoikeus'') meaning that it is allowed to camp on any land provided that you stay a few hundred metres from houses, do not start a fire, and do not more than one night in any given place. While everyman's right technically doesn't apply inside of towns and cities, there is usually no problem with camping in isolated areas of parks -- even if police see you, they are more concerned with gypsies than with backpackers. In Southern Finland and the Åland Islands, the forests and grassy areas are full of ticks, so wear clothing that covers your legs and check occasionally that you haven't been bitten. === Lean-to's and huts === At official hiking paths there are often free cottages and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean-to lean-to's] where you can stay for free. * '''[http://www.laavu.org/autiotuvat/ Laavu.org]''' for locations of these all around Finland.

European visa policy will be covered in the article about the EU. In brief, a visa to any other signatory state of the Schengen Agreement is valid in France too. No visa is required for citizens of other EU member states, and those of some selected nations with whom the European Union or France have special treaties. Inquire at your travel agent or call the local consulate or embassy of France. '''Paris''' is the capital of [[France]] and home to numerous [[embassies]]. == Visa requirements == Depending on the length of the stay, as well as nationality, a visa may not be required. Nationals of the following "Schengen Agreement" countries may not require a visa: [[Austria]], [[Belgium]], [[Germany]], [[Greece]], [[Italy]], [[Luxembourg]], [[Netherlands]], [[Spain]], [[Portugal]]. * For a stay of up to 90 days, nationalities exempted from a short stay visa are also exempted from requesting a student visa if the total stay in France does not exceed 90 days. * However, if a student decides to stay one day longer or more after the end of the school period, he/she must apply for a temporary long stay visa (up to 6 months) BEFORE leaving for France. * If you are studying for longer than 6 months, you’ll need a long stay visa : this type of visa allows its holder to request a temporary residence permit ("Carte de séjour") at a French Prefecture. You must apply within two months after the date of your arrival to France. Living in France for longer than 6 months without a residence permit is illegal. == Types of visa and cost == * A uniform Schengen visa is issued for Short-stay visits (tourist, business and students), Airport transit, Transit and Long-validity (circulation) visits. * Visa application fees must be paid at the time of application. No visa application fee can be refunded, whatever the result of the application. * All Schengen visa applications are now charged at €35, irrespective of the duration of stay requested (except for long-stay visas: stays over 90 days). The fee remains payable in Pounds Sterling only, approximately £22-26. {{Newsbox|'''French Visa Policy Now Tougher For Chinese''', The French Consulate and Embassy has made its visa application tougher for Chinese tourists by asking for more personal data and bank savings information. From July 19, local media reports that the French Consulate has asked each travel agency to submit more materials for visa applications for their tourists and has asked tourists to provide two current bankbooks instead of one. One of the deposit books must reportedly be opened a year before the visa application is submitted. July 25, 2007. ''Chinacsr.com''.}} == Visa note == * Under no circumstances may a tourist visa be converted into a student visa. This is true throughout the European Union. International students of all nationalities intending to stay in France for more than 3 months must obtain a student identification card. == France Embassies and/or Consulates == * '''Australia''' French Embassy in Canberra, Australia <br> 6 Perth Avenue<br> Yarralumla<br> ACT 2600<br> City: Canberra<br> Phone: (02) 62 16 01 00<br> Fax: (02) 62 16 01 27<br> Web Site: http://www.ambafrance-am.org/<br> Email: mailto:embassy@ambafrance-au.org * '''Norway''' Drammensveien 69, N-0271 Oslo <br> Phone: +47 2328 4600 <br> Fax: +47 2328 4671<br> E-mail: mailto:info.norvege-amba@diplomatie.fr<br> Website: http://www.ambafrance-no.org/ * '''United Kingdom''' French Embassy in London, England (UK) <br> 58, Knightsbridge<br> London SW1X 7JT<br> City: London<br> Phone: 0207 201 10 00 * '''United States''' Embassy of France in Washington, U.S.A. <br> 4101 Reservoir Road, NW, <br> Washington DC 20007 <br> City: Washington DC <br> Phone: (202) 944-6000 <br> Fax: (202) 9446166 <br> Web Site: http://www.info-france-usa.org/ <br> Email: mailto:info@amb-wash.fr '''Others''' Embassy of France in Kabul, Afghanistan - Av.

European visa policy will be covered in the article about the EU. In brief, a visa to any other signatory state of the Schengen Agreement is valid in France too. No visa is required for citizens of other EU member states, and those of some selected nations with whom the European Union or France have special treaties. Inquire at your travel agent or call the local consulate or embassy of France. '''Paris''' is the capital of [[France]] and home to numerous [[embassies]]. == Visa requirements == Depending on the length of the stay, as well as nationality, a visa may not be required. Nationals of the following "Schengen Agreement" countries may not require a visa: [[Austria]], [[Belgium]], [[Germany]], [[Greece]], [[Italy]], [[Luxembourg]], [[Netherlands]], [[Spain]], [[Portugal]]. * For a stay of up to 90 days, nationalities exempted from a short stay visa are also exempted from requesting a student visa if the total stay in France does not exceed 90 days. * However, if a student decides to stay one day longer or more after the end of the school period, he/she must apply for a temporary long stay visa (up to 6 months) BEFORE leaving for France. * If you are studying for longer than 6 months, you’ll need a long stay visa : this type of visa allows its holder to request a temporary residence permit ("Carte de séjour") at a French Prefecture. You must apply within two months after the date of your arrival to France. Living in France for longer than 6 months without a residence permit is illegal. == Types of visa and cost == * A uniform Schengen visa is issued for Short-stay visits (tourist, business and students), Airport transit, Transit and Long-validity (circulation) visits. * Visa application fees must be paid at the time of application. No visa application fee can be refunded, whatever the result of the application. * All Schengen visa applications are now charged at €35, irrespective of the duration of stay requested (except for long-stay visas: stays over 90 days). The fee remains payable in Pounds Sterling only, approximately £22-26. {{Newsbox|'''French Visa Policy Now Tougher For Chinese''', The French Consulate and Embassy has made its visa application tougher for Chinese tourists by asking for more personal data and bank savings information. From July 19, local media reports that the French Consulate has asked each travel agency to submit more materials for visa applications for their tourists and has asked tourists to provide two current bankbooks instead of one. One of the deposit books must reportedly be opened a year before the visa application is submitted. July 25, 2007.

Even if quite expensive, there are plenty of job opportunities also for foreigners (much better if you speak french and have a legal permit to work in schengen area), a legal minimum wage among the highest in the world and a social security system which might keep paying you also when you finish. French (cool) people have usually a quite good understanding of modern nomadism and you won't have much difficulty to find the right environment that fits you. Try to avoid big urban areas like [[Paris]] (probably the most posh and less friendly place in the whole country) searching more for countryside place like [[Lozère]] or cool cities like [[Toulouse]].

Paying accomodation is usually expensive as most of rich European countries. Hostels are called "Auberges de jeunesse" or simply "Auberge" and range between 15 and 25€. |food=Dumpster diving works very well in cities. Food prices follow the general euro zone average, bit more expensive than [[Germany]] but further cheaper than Scandinavian countries like [[Norway]] or [[Iceland]]. |connectivity=Not so great. There are no reasonably priced SIM cards with internet connectivity and wifi is not so widely spread. If you have friends, ask if they have codes for the FreeWifi and other hot spots they want to share. |busking=Euro currency and general quite wealthy situation grant average decent salary. French people though tend to complain quite a lot about (almost anything and especially) their economical situation, which makes them often a bit cheap when it comes to give tips (famous worldwide for that) busking included. Said so, the situation do change a lot from cities to cities, [[Lyon]] tend to be better than [[Bordeaux]], [[Toulouse]] better than [[Paris]], etc; of course every personal experience is difference.. |visa='''France''' is a member of the [[European Union]] and the [[Schengen Agreement]]. European visa policy will be covered in the article about the EU. In brief, a visa to any other signatory state of the Schengen Agreement is valid in France too. No visa is required for citizens of other EU member states, and those of some selected nations with whom the European Union or France have special treaties. Inquire at your travel agent or call the local consulate or embassy of France. '''Paris''' is the capital of [[France]] and home to numerous [[embassies]]. == Visa requirements == Depending on the length of the stay, as well as nationality, a visa may not be required. Nationals of the following "Schengen Agreement" countries may not require a visa: [[Austria]], [[Belgium]], [[Germany]], [[Greece]], [[Italy]], [[Luxembourg]], [[Netherlands]], [[Spain]], [[Portugal]]. * For a stay of up to 90 days, nationalities exempted from a short stay visa are also exempted from requesting a student visa if the total stay in France does not exceed 90 days. * However, if a student decides to stay one day longer or more after the end of the school period, he/she must apply for a temporary long stay visa (up to 6 months) BEFORE leaving for France. * If you are studying for longer than 6 months, you’ll need a long stay visa : this type of visa allows its holder to request a temporary residence permit ("Carte de séjour") at a French Prefecture. You must apply within two months after the date of your arrival to France. Living in France for longer than 6 months without a residence permit is illegal. == Types of visa and cost == * A uniform Schengen visa is issued for Short-stay visits (tourist, business and students), Airport transit, Transit and Long-validity (circulation) visits. * Visa application fees must be paid at the time of application. No visa application fee can be refunded, whatever the result of the application. * All Schengen visa applications are now charged at €35, irrespective of the duration of stay requested (except for long-stay visas: stays over 90 days). The fee remains payable in Pounds Sterling only, approximately £22-26. {{Newsbox|'''French Visa Policy Now Tougher For Chinese''', The French Consulate and Embassy has made its visa application tougher for Chinese tourists by asking for more personal data and bank savings information. From July 19, local media reports that the French Consulate has asked each travel agency to submit more materials for visa applications for their tourists and has asked tourists to provide two current bankbooks instead of one. One of the deposit books must reportedly be opened a year before the visa application is submitted. July 25, 2007. ''Chinacsr.com''.}} == Visa note == * Under no circumstances may a tourist visa be converted into a student visa. This is true throughout the European Union. International students of all nationalities intending to stay in France for more than 3 months must obtain a student identification card. == France Embassies and/or Consulates == * '''Australia''' French Embassy in Canberra, Australia <br> 6 Perth Avenue<br> Yarralumla<br> ACT 2600<br> City: Canberra<br> Phone: (02) 62 16 01 00<br> Fax: (02) 62 16 01 27<br> Web Site: http://www.ambafrance-am.org/<br> Email: mailto:embassy@ambafrance-au.org * '''Norway''' Drammensveien 69, N-0271 Oslo <br> Phone: +47 2328 4600 <br> Fax: +47 2328 4671<br> E-mail: mailto:info.norvege-amba@diplomatie.fr<br> Website: http://www.ambafrance-no.org/ * '''United Kingdom''' French Embassy in London, England (UK) <br> 58, Knightsbridge<br> London SW1X 7JT<br> City: London<br> Phone: 0207 201 10 00 * '''United States''' Embassy of France in Washington, U.S.A. <br> 4101 Reservoir Road, NW, <br> Washington DC 20007 <br> City: Washington DC <br> Phone: (202) 944-6000 <br> Fax: (202) 9446166 <br> Web Site: http://www.info-france-usa.org/ <br> Email: mailto:info@amb-wash.fr '''Others''' Embassy of France in Kabul, Afghanistan - Av.

Even if quite expensive, there are plenty of job opportunities also for foreigners (much better if you speak French and have a legal permit to work in sSchengen area), a legal minimum wage among the highest in the world and a social security system which might keep paying you also when you finished. French (cool) people have usually a quite good understanding of modern nomadism and you won't have much difficulty to find the right environment that fits you. Wild camping is very common and popular, even if you don't have an accommodation, it should be easy to find somewhere to pitch a tent. Try to avoid big urban areas like [[Paris]] searching more for countryside regions like [[Lozère]], [[Hautes-Alpes]], [[Charente]] or cool cities like [[Montpellier]], [[Toulouse]], [[Bordeaux]]... Paris is of course a must to see in France, but it's also the highest population concentration in whole Europe ; one sixth of the whole French population is concentrated in its region. People are often busy there, as Paris provides lots of jobs for French people (but few which may interest nomads, it's especially office work), and don't really have the time to be very friendly. Centralization of everything to Paris is a French constant, and you may quickly notice that ambiance in Paris is not the same that in the rest of the country. The soul of the country is still in the countryside, as France is a big European agricultural producer, and by the way this may provide you lots of jobs for fruitpicking, especially in the South. Départements such as [[Drôme]], [[Vaucluse]], [[Bouche-du-Rhone]], [[Lot]], [[Tarn]]... You can check out [https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=zCUrDZ_sv7Fw.k9HCrqv3hIVA&hl=fr this map] with many things like nomad bases, collectives, squats, self-managed farm, etc. |transport====Hitchhiking=== France is mostly a great country for [[hitchhiking]]. It's quite common, roads are not too tight and allow drivers to stop for you, and you can travel fast and main road and meet local people. Motorways network is one of the best in Western Europe, and it's also easy to hitchhike there. You'll travel even faster, but may not really meet people form the countryside (as it will be often drivers going from a main city to another). Hitchhiking works really good in the countryside, like in all countries, especially in the south, where rural areas can be more desert, and also in mountains. You often only need to get away from the Mediterranean coast to avoid a lot of tourists, and be picked up by local people. ===Trains=== ====Companies==== * [https://en.voyages-sncf.com/ SNCF] (national company), [https://www.thalys.com/ Thalys](for Benelux/Northern Germany), [http://www.thello.com/ Thello] (Italy by night trains), [http://www.eurostar.com/ Eurostar] (UK with Eurotunnel, or Belgium) * low cost : [http://www.ouigo.com/ Ouigo], [https://www.izy.com/ IZY] (to Belgium). Main train services are TGV for many long distances travels (high speed trains) and TER for short ones (Regional trains). Long distance trains can be pretty expensive at last minute, but reservations open 3 months in advance. Main rule is the sooner, the cheaper. Cheapest fares for reservation trains are "Prem's" (French short for "First"), which are non refundable nor exchangeable. BUT, if you choose to have a paper ticket, you'll be able to exchange it with some else. Indeed paper tickets are non nominative, but this may engage you to withdraw the tickets at self service machines, which you'll find only in France (and Luxembourg). This can be a problem by example if you want to take the Milano-Paris TGV from Milano, you'll have to buy an "e-billet". If you intent to travel a lot by train in France, a reduction card will be very appropriate, and final budget could be cheaper than Interpass Rail. If you're under 27, for 50€ per year the youth card ("Carte Jeune") will ensure 50% off on regional trains and every train without reservation in "blue" periods (off-peak), between 50 and 30% off on TGV trains, or minimum 25% in any case (always from normal adult fare). Peak period calendar available [http://aide.voyages-sncf.com/le-calendrier-voyageurs/ here]. "Carte Jeune" tickets may remain slighty more expensive than "Prem's" ones, but they are fully refundable before departure (5€ fee only if you cancel for the same day, or the next one), and are a lot easier to buy ; you should be able to find them for the next day especially in working days. Moreover, reductions apply to all trains. As regional trains are without reservation, you'll have to pay adult full fare if you don't have the card. Websites such as [http://www.trocdestrains.com/ TrocDesTrains] or [http://passetonbillet.fr/ PasseTonBillet.fr] will help you to find people to trade your non-refundable tickets ("Prem's" or others). But it is possible only with non-nominative tickets, which is not the case with electronic tickets ("e-billets"). One important thing that foreign people should be aware of is that in France, like in Italy, you'll have to STAMP your normal "paper" tickets before getting on board. This is not at stake for electronic tickets (because you only carry a code/number), but if it's written on your ticket (unfortunately only in French) "A COMPOSTER", you'll have to stamp it or you would be fined. There are stamp points in every station before getting onto platforms, with bright yellow head. It's almost a sport to stamp it correctly, the machine always asking you to return it, even if you don't need to, just do it slowly. ====Notes==== * You're not allowed to trade your tickets at a higher price than purchased. * Paper tickets still have name, but remain non-nominative, it's the name or the purchaser. * Reduction cards work only on SNCF trains (also on DB/SNCF trains to Germany), even for international travels, but not other operators, such as Eurostar, which remains very expensive. You may not want to use the official French train website (there's a whole bunch of them and none of them really work well). [https://www.capitainetrain.com/ Capitaine Train] could be a good alternative if you don't mind using FB to log in. [http://www.kelbillet.com/ Kelbillet.com] is another such site which is interesting in that it also shows prices of other forms of transport, it also often show much better prices than the "official" train websites. While TGV normal fares are ~75€ on Paris-Marseille for an adult in workdays, it will be often 40€ with "Carte Jeune", and can be as low as ~20€ for "Prem's" If you book 1/2 months in advance. ====Tips==== * If you like to travel by train and don't want to hurry too much, several journeys are made both by TGV and by normal trains (still often travelling at 200 km/h), and can be a good alternative if TGV fares are too expensive : Paris-Toulouse, Marseille-Nice, Lyon-Marseille, Paris-Tours-Bordeaux, Paris-Lyon. * To leave Paris, trains will be more expensive from the city centre stations, check from Marne-la-Vallée-Disneyland TGV, Aéroport Charles-de-Gaulle TGV, or Massy TGV stations. You'll just need to take the RER for 30/40 minutes (and can cost you 10€ but often worths it). Same tip for Lyon from Aéroport Saint-Exupéry TGV station, but public transports to go there are even more expensive. More generally, TGV stations were often buildt a bit in the middle of nowhere and remain cheaper. * The new low cost branch of SNCF,[http://www.ouigo.com/ Ouigo] can offer very cheap prices, but not all the time (especially weekends), and from Paris you'll leave only from stations cited above. * Few remains, but night trains are a very good way to discover France. From Paris (that's the main problem, everything is centralized in Paris), you can reach the Cote d'Azur, the Pyrénées, or the Southern Alps 1000 km far away in only one night. Or, of course, Venice ! With [https://www.thello.fr/ Thello] ====Blackriding==== * [https://www.facebook.com/groups/FREE.NOMADS/permalink/1616322121912836/ FB discussion about blackriding TGV trains] ===Bus=== Companies provide bus service between main cities within France and neighbouring countries, this can be a good and cheap alternative for train, even though often slower. There are plenty of them : [https://www.flixbus.com/ Flixbus],[https://www.isilines.com/ Isilines], [http://www.ouibus.com/ Ouibus] -owned by SNCF- ... ===Flights=== As there are high speed trains, it's almost an ecological crime to take the plane and you shouldn't need this too much (It's faster to take the train to make Paris-Marseille, if you want to be in the city centres). Just two things to be mentioned : * If you want to find domestic low cost flights in France, the main company remains Easyjet (in particular Paris-Nice or Paris-Toulouse) * To travel in Corsica (which you should do, it's wonderful ! but take even more care of the nature and environment there), this can be useful, and [http://www.aircorsica.com/ Air Corsica] can offer not too expensive flights, from several European cities. ===Rideshares=== If you're looking for rideshares, the biggest company is [http://www.blablacar.com Blablacar.com] which offers rides all over Europe. An alternative is [http://www.covoiturage-libre.fr/ Covoiturage-libre], an not-for-profit organization as opposed to Blablacar that makes heaps of money out of the rides. But as it is, less people offer rides so might only find for the common main routes. [https://www.train1euro.fr/ train1euro.fr] is a website for the Languedoc-Roussillon region in the South, you can find train tickets for 1 euro between cities such as [[Perpignan]], [[Nîmes]] and [[Montpellier]]. |accommodation====CouchSurfing=== French internet hospexchange community is probably one of the biggest in the world. [[Spontaneous hospitality]] works also quite well under any form, hitchhiking drivers invitations, street hosting with panel in cities, door knocking, and so on. ===Wild Camping=== Don't forget that France has one the lowest mean density per km^2 in Europe. Especially in rural areas, it will be very easy to camp for free. French law is quite unclear on that, because it is in the law that you are allowed to make free camping... everywhere it is not forbidden. So you'll have to check for local regulations. It is generally tolerated, furthermore if you're not in a too touristic period/region. Just find somewhere a bit hidden, not next to a road (also because of the noise), but you should even be able to camp next to a path. It is still better to decamp in the morning. In practice, it is quite rare to be strictly forbidden. The main reason are safety (especially fires in the South East and Mediterranean) and nature protection. There are National and Regional natural parks in France, each of them has its own regulation, that you should check. Paradoxically, you will be sure if it's allowed or not ! "Bivouac" (from ~after 7pm to ~9am) are sometimes fully allowed (PN des Ecrins, PN Mercantour), sometimes completely forbidden (PNR Corse, PN des Calanques). ====Fires==== For our Australian/American/NewZealander/Canadian (etc.) friends, it has to be noticed that fire camps are not so common in Europe, and maybe especially in Southern France (and probably around the Mediterranean Sea). It may be of course less tolerated than camping, and if wild camping is often allowed, this would almost never be the case for fire camp, but you should still be able to make one. In summer or in the dry season, take the greatest care with fires, even with gas stoves. There is often a complete fireban (but stoves should still remain allowed) in some southern Departments in summer. ===Youth Hostels=== Paying accomodation is usually expensive as most of rich European countries. Hostels are called "Auberges de jeunesse" or simply "Auberge" and range between 15 and 25€. |bewelcome-link=http://www.bewelcome.org/places/France/FR |food=Food prices follow the general euro zone average, bit more expensive than [[Germany]] but further cheaper than Scandinavian countries like [[Norway]] or [[Iceland]]. As in Italy, supermarkets can provide you quite quality food (if you take care or find a good one), and there are often well provided fruit&vegetable stands, butchery, fishmonger's, and -of course- dairy. In rural regions, some supermarkets can be a cheap opportunity to have fresh and local meat/cheese/vegetables (maybe not be highest quality, but still from local producers). French bakeries are by law prohibited from selling bread that is older than a day, so it pays to go around bakeries (''boulangerie'') and asking for old bread, or simply checking bakeries' doors/backyards after they close. EU, EEA, Swiss, Andorran and Monégasque citizens can live and work in France without restrictions. Non-EU citizens who are from Albania, Andorra, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Barbados, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Croatia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Holy See, Honduras, Israel, Macedonia, Malaysia, Mauritius, Monaco, Montenegro, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, San Marino, Serbia, Seychelles, Taiwan and Uruguay are permitted to work in France during their 3 month visa exemption period. For more information, visit the [http://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/en/france/coming-to-france/getting-a-visa/article/foreign-nationals-holding-ordinary French Ministry of Foreign Affairs] website. |connectivity=Not so great. There are no reasonably priced SIM cards with internet connectivity and wifi is not so widely spread. If you have friends, ask if they have codes for the FreeWifi and other hot spots they want to share. ===Free=== A very interesting operator for nomads is [http://mobile.free.fr/ Free] (that's the name), which has only 2 offers, but they are both relevant. * 2€ per month : cheapest of Europe. 2h phone call and unlimited text in France, but works also to call landlines of some countries, including USA, Canada, Australia, China, Brazil. But only 50 MB data. Perfect plan to be in France and stay in touch with friends. This offer is so cheap that some French choose it when they're abroad and don't use it, just to keep their phone number. * 2O€ per month, but it's the perfect subscription if you want to keep the same phone number all across Europe. In addition of what is above, you have 100 GB (!!!) Data allowed in 4G. But that's not he main advantage : unlimited phone call, text and 5 GB (!!!) per month per country from 35 foreign countries (including whole EU, Norway, USA, Canada, Australia and NZ, but not Switzerland). That's enough to travel across Europe without taking care to your data consumption at any time. The main disadvantage of Free is that it's cheap because there are no shops, everything is online, and the website is only in French. And You will need a French address and account to receive your SIM card. |busking=Euro currency and general quite wealthy situation grant average decent salary. French people though tend to complain quite a lot about (almost anything and especially) their economical situation, which makes them often a bit cheap when it comes to give tips (famous worldwide for that) busking included. Said so, the situation do change a lot from cities to cities, [[Lyon]] tend to be better than [[Bordeaux]], [[Toulouse]] better than [[Paris]], etc; of course every personal experience is difference.. |visa='''France''' is a member of the [[European Union]] and the [[Schengen Agreement]]. European visa policy will be covered in the article about the EU. In brief, a visa to any other signatory state of the Schengen Agreement is valid in France too. No visa is required for citizens of other EU member states, and those of some selected nations with whom the European Union or France have special treaties. Inquire at your travel agent or call the local consulate or embassy of France. '''Paris''' is the capital of [[France]] and home to numerous [[embassies]]. === Visa requirements === Depending on the length of the stay, as well as nationality, a visa may not be required. Nationals of the following "Schengen Agreement" countries may not require a visa: [[Austria]], [[Belgium]], [[Germany]], [[Greece]], [[Italy]], [[Luxembourg]], [[Netherlands]], [[Spain]], [[Portugal]]. * For a stay of up to 90 days, nationalities exempted from a short stay visa are also exempted from requesting a student visa if the total stay in France does not exceed 90 days. * However, if a student decides to stay one day longer or more after the end of the school period, he/she must apply for a temporary long stay visa (up to 6 months) BEFORE leaving for France. * If you are studying for longer than 6 months, you’ll need a long stay visa : this type of visa allows its holder to request a temporary residence permit ("Carte de séjour") at a French Prefecture. You must apply within two months after the date of your arrival to France. Living in France for longer than 6 months without a residence permit is illegal. === Types of visa and cost === * A uniform Schengen visa is issued for Short-stay visits (tourist, business and students), Airport transit, Transit and Long-validity (circulation) visits. * Visa application fees must be paid at the time of application. No visa application fee can be refunded, whatever the result of the application. * All Schengen visa applications are now charged at €35, irrespective of the duration of stay requested (except for long-stay visas: stays over 90 days). The fee remains payable in Pounds Sterling only, approximately £22-26. {{Newsbox|'''French Visa Policy Now Tougher For Chinese''', The French Consulate and Embassy has made its visa application tougher for Chinese tourists by asking for more personal data and bank savings information. From July 19, local media reports that the French Consulate has asked each travel agency to submit more materials for visa applications for their tourists and has asked tourists to provide two current bankbooks instead of one. One of the deposit books must reportedly be opened a year before the visa application is submitted. July 25, 2007. ''Chinacsr.com''.}} === Visa note === * Under no circumstances may a tourist visa be converted into a student visa. This is true throughout the European Union. International students of all nationalities intending to stay in France for more than 3 months must obtain a student identification card. === France Embassies and/or Consulates === [http://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/le-ministere-et-son-reseau/annuaires-et-adresses-du-maedi/ambassades-et-consulats-francais-a-l-etranger/ List of French embassies and consulates] }} [[velo:France]] [[cash:France]] [[Category:National parks]] [[trash:France]] [[couch:France]] jsxulfjq19mkgb33tfqn5m1e2007zmw 0 80 323 2013-07-07T10:40:47Z imported>Isa kayo 0 adding interfamily links 323 wikitext text/x-wiki {{City |country=Finland |connectivity====Free hotspots=== * [http://vakiopaine.net/ Baari Vakiopaine] Kauppakatu 6 * [http://www.sohwi.fi/ Bar/Restaurant Sohwi] Vaasankatu 21 ''(password: vodka)'' * [http://www.vihreahaltijatar.fi/ Vihreä haltijatar] Kauppakatu 13 ''(sid: haltsu)'' * [http://www.jazz-bar.com/ Poppari] Puistokatu 2-4 (Ask for password from bartender) }} [[hitch:Jyväskylä]] 08a2fjqccdye1oz5rgn2ahz0s0faovn 0 81 324 2013-05-20T13:07:53Z Guaka 1 Created page with "'''Free camping''' requires some improvisation and can give you a sense of adventure. == Leave no trace == == Legal free camping == In [[Finland]], [[Sweden]] and [[Norway..." 324 wikitext text/x-wiki '''Free camping''' requires some improvisation and can give you a sense of adventure. == Leave no trace == == Legal free camping == In [[Finland]], [[Sweden]] and [[Norway]]. it's completely legal to camp in most parts. == Illegal free camping == In Western Europe it's not legal to just put your tent anywhere.

Geographically part of Central America (the dividing line being the Isthmus of Tehuantepec) it is culturally closer to [[Guatemala]] and [[Belize]] than the rest of Mexico. |transport=Buses are good value for money and the network is pretty good. Even if it is not common hitchhicking works very well. Everybody has a truck and they will just tell you to jump in the back. Gas stations are a good spot to ask drivers, you can explain your way of travelling and they will feel more comfortable. If they tell you they're going very close do not hesitate to ask how many kilometers because it might be 30km which can change everything for you. Sometimes people will tell you it's dangerous or offer to bring you to the bus station it's just because they are not used to it. You may need a bit of patience in some places but in the end there is always someone stopping for you and offering you food and beers. Speaking Spanish helps for sure. Often you can get pretty decent wifi for just a bit more money. Great for long haul distances. |accommodation=When traveling long distances with no specific plan, it becomes difficult to arrange shelter through hospitality networks. Also, in many small towns few people have access to the internet. Luckily, it's really easy and safe to stay over in '''gas stations''' or '''fire stations.''' If you get stuck on the road at night, you can ask to be dropped off at any PEMEX (the only gasoline company of Mexico). If you talk directly to the people in charge, they will tell you what's the safest spot to sleep at. Many gas stations also have free showers and you don't need to be a truck driver to use them. When you're inside of a town, it's better to go to the fire station. The firemen are very friendly and they are used to host broke travelers from exotic places. If you ask in churches, you should try to find the priest, explain your situation and ask for a place to stay. Usually, however, they direct you to the police (who, in turn, might direct you back to the church). Bus stations are safe and open 24 hours as there are buses round the clock and there is a security guy. Of course, you will have to sleep with one eye open but it’s a somewhat safe place to spend the night. The municipal police is always friendly and you can just ask them where to spend the night. They might assign you a nice well-guarded spot outside in front of the town hall (Palacio Municipal) for instance. It’s not a bed but it is a place to stay, with a roof! If you're traveling through the West Coast it might be difficult to find a free camping site at the popular beaches. However, almost every beach town has a '''turtle camp''' where you can camp for free. You might be asked to do some work in exchange, like counting and liberating baby turtles! |bewelcome-link=http://www.bewelcome.org/places/Mexico/MX |connectivity=Prices of mobile telephony are a big joke.

Tabling from any of the thousand touristic reastaurants which fill the city is not very well seen by locals but constitute a good option, asking or taking directly, just check out any leftover |connectivity=Lots of restaurants and bars have free wifi access for their customers and if you are lucky there may be no password; internet cafes are bloody expensive and in the universities, classes as libraries, you need a vpn, user and password to login but you can easily ask any student for a favor. |busking=Venice municipality and local police are not really welcoming for buskers, at least from what local buskers say. It appears there are 10 official permits per month to be issued at Palazzo Manin (municipality), that last 15 days and cost 30€ (other buskers source, not verified official news)and of course they are difficult to obtain. If local police ("vigili" or "polizia locale", often in uniform and not civil clothes so you could recognize them in time and run away) catch you playing or performing with no permit apparently they can be really mean, confiscating your instrument or performing tools and taking even your money. Being a foreigner and not speaking local language should help as always but is really better if you distract them and escape. Normal police (Polizia, Carabinieri and Guardia di Finanza) shouldnt care about you and annoy only street bag/belts/etc sellers, though if you see them run away might be wise take away also your stuff.. About busking places the whole centre, historical Venice is good and full of tourist (though they can be cheap view how expensive is the city), Strada Nova, Rialto and S.Margherita are Vigili's preferred places to go around as also some of the most visible, try to avoid them; Accademia, S.Polo and Frari/S.Rocco should be better. Be careful and talk to other buskers/street sellers asking for advice, there is a good solidarity. }} [[hitch:Venice]] [[trash:Venice]] 5d2kdwjpae8rm5nt9p1a00xfgfr98uk 0 88 353 2013-08-31T09:14:56Z imported>Isa kayo 0 adding interfamily links 353 wikitext text/x-wiki {{City |country=Poland |accommodation=''Zakrzówek'' - Quarry just 2km from the castle/center there is a place where some people camp.

Explanation; there's no toilet and sanitation stuff, but even if you bring your toi-toi it's illegal. If you still do wildcamping in Croatia, use common sense and try to do it in areas far from cities and settlements. Altough I saw wild tents even in parks in [[Dubrovnik]] and no one cared, still it is advisable to use some more isolated places. And it is far more nice! There are plenty of wild bays and coves all around of Croatian coast, especially on islands where you can put your tent and no one will care. As long as you leave no traces after you. Locals are very sensitive on foreigners leaving trash, so if someone spot some trash on places where you had your camp, there are big chances they will inform police and if they saw someone with "your" description, they will be more interested. In general, police don't care so much for wild camping as long as it is out of too obvious sight. If police really stop you and start to ask questions, if you are couple or just with companion of different gender, say that you just wanted some private fun so you left your girlfriend parents in hotel alone. Usually it will work. Additionally, Croatian law allows you to [[bivouac]] if you are in wilderness and you are either lost, caught by storm, dark or whatever other reason why you can't return to your starting destination. So if you make a tent in nature, no one can prove that you didn't just got lost or stayed too long during your swimming/hiking. ===Dangers=== [[File:Croatia_minefields.png|thumb|right|Minefields in Croatia]]There are some landmines left in Croatia.

Please be aware of this and be careful! Keep in mind that in 2017. most of Croatia, especially tourist areas are mine free, and asking locals in some area about mines could make you look stupid.

(also, let's continue this discussion on nomadwiki) [[User:Guaka|Guaka]] ([[User talk:Guaka|talk]]) 20:27, 8 October 2013 (CEST) an attempt at a clearer, more structured formulation: on the front page there´s a section "travel destination", which I think could work as a nice complemantary to city pages. It would work kind of in the opposite direction as a city page. You´d look up the city page if you´re already know where you are going and want to know what to do. You´d look up a travel destination page when you know what to do and want to know where to go. Since country pages work in a similar way (you know where you wanna go but look for more inspiration), i think it would be nice to link travel destination that have entries in a certain country on that countries page, so to just add one more content headline "travel destinations" on the country template where the links to the general articles could be listed. [[User:Clem|Clem]] ([[User talk:Clem|talk]]) 00:48, 9 October 2013 (CEST) :Cool, I understand it better now. Most fields are overlapping though, so maybe it's better to rename city to destination and reuse the same structure for now? Not sure though, maybe "Travel destination" is actually good.

I always saw NW and its information as independent of what hospex a nomad chooses to use and what the owners other interests are. I don't feel readers should be targeted with promotion of one specific product and a ""advertised"" search string. They may already be on a hospex, or have a travel style, that doesnt involve it. They may not be hitchhikers. Being asked to use (or suggested) only TR, on each and every place page, is IMO, merely [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clickbait click·bait], since the links "exploit the "curiosity gap", providing just enough information to make the reader curious, but not enough to satisfy their curiosity without clicking through to the linked content." I have no problem with TR, but even as a non-profit, it is no more special than other non-profit hospex sites (BW, WS). I didn't work many hours adding content to Nomadwiki to drive trafiic to one particular site. I have always sought to be neutral, and not leave my other interests impact my contributions. Whether the owners of this site are involved in TR "should be" immaterial to me. I am a strong believer in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_wall Chinese Walls].

For example info about place to sleep, internet access, nice spot, free access to monument, ... ::Yes, in my opinion this sort of stuff should be moved to here (before somebody comes and deletes it there, happened!) and just leave interwiki link behind at Trash/Hitchwiki like this: <nowiki>[[nomad:Article name]]</nowiki> -[[User:Mikael|Mikael]] ([[User talk:Mikael|talk]]) 22:22, 5 November 2013 (CET) == Another form? == ''copied from Facebook'' hi kasper i was just about to start writing an article about the wild hot springs in tuscany and thought it would be awesome if it had the same structure as the "winter retreats" article, so as to collect wild hot springs from different regions/countries mikeal said you could maybe create a form for that (travel destinations) C :sure, what's it for and what exactly should be in the form? [[User:Guaka|Guaka]] ([[User talk:Guaka|talk]]) 20:27, 8 October 2013 (CEST) ::it´s mostly about automatically listing it as a type of travel destination, and it would be structured as the winter retreats article, starting with a short general introduction (what is a wild hot spring, a one sentence thing i guess, just to define what belongs into the article) and then various entries sorted by country and then placename (village) ::i don´t know if that really complicated, but i think a cool option would be, to have some kind of automatic connection between country pages and destination pages. to use the winter retreats article as an example: if you start listing thing for spain there, in the spain article a link to winter retreats would appear, same if a hot spring in italy would appear, on the bottom there could be an automatic thing with travel destinations and there´s the link to the hot springs article C :::I think the City form + template could be good enough for now? (also, let's continue this discussion on nomadwiki) [[User:Guaka|Guaka]] ([[User talk:Guaka|talk]]) 20:27, 8 October 2013 (CEST) an attempt at a clearer, more structured formulation: on the front page there´s a section "travel destination", which I think could work as a nice complemantary to city pages. It would work kind of in the opposite direction as a city page. You´d look up the city page if you´re already know where you are going and want to know what to do. You´d look up a travel destination page when you know what to do and want to know where to go. Since country pages work in a similar way (you know where you wanna go but look for more inspiration), i think it would be nice to link travel destination that have entries in a certain country on that countries page, so to just add one more content headline "travel destinations" on the country template where the links to the general articles could be listed. [[User:Clem|Clem]] ([[User talk:Clem|talk]]) 00:48, 9 October 2013 (CEST) :Cool, I understand it better now. Most fields are overlapping though, so maybe it's better to rename city to destination and reuse the same structure for now? Not sure though, maybe "Travel destination" is actually good. Now we have some stuff in [[Free Hot Springs]]. We could work out some more examples to see what makes most sense before changing anything at this point? :It could also make sense to simply have info about [[San Filippo]], and then put that in a [[:Category:Free hot springs]]? This could then also be included on the country page. It'd be good to get an idea of what kind of destinations there are. [[User:Guaka|Guaka]] ([[User talk:Guaka|talk]]) 18:23, 9 October 2013 (CEST) :: other kind of destinations could include (i´m brainstorming a little here): wildcamping beaches (for example kara dere, kupari), abandoned buildings (for example halte royal d'ardennes in belgium, or again kupari, or the abandoned city of vogelsang but excluding abandoned buildings that could be listed as part of a city that has more of interest than that one spot, for example berlin.) or former rainbow gathering sites (always good to know for a hitchgathering). [[User:Clem|Clem]] ([[User talk:Clem|talk]]) 22:04, 10 October 2013 (CEST) ==Is this visa related content relevant for Nomadwiki== By editing article ([[Israel]]), I asked myself if some of content was relavant to Nomadwiki. This included the list of the embassies, the requirements for the visas depending on the countries. It is content very hard to keep up to date and is maybe not quite in the vibe of Nomadwiki. Is it important to have a list of embassies, as it is moreover a very easy info to find? [[User:Arthuronwa|Arthuronwa]] ([[User talk:Arthuronwa|talk]]) 11:59, 5 August 2015 (CEST) :At some point I merged visawiki.org into Nomadwiki. And Visawiki itself also contained copies from another wiki. At this point Nomadwiki is ranking for some visa related keywords, and it gets some traffic. I guess the list of embassies can be removed, especially if you add a link to an up-to-date source with this information.

Ordinary walking can become a rebellious and subversive act. Roads are public space and people who choose to walk and cycle are not slowing traffic or getting in the way. They are simply occupying public space in a legal way as people have done since time immemorial. Our streets and roads are meant to connect us not divide us. == Free/cheap organized [[rideshares]] == ==[[Biking]]== Travel by bike is also a very good option for free travels ==[[Blackriding]]== Take trains or public transportation without a valid ticket is easier than what people think, especially if you are abroad from your residential country. Fine can hardly be sent outside of the country they are issued and controllers can´t really force you to pay cash if you say you have no money. A good excuse, story will make everything easier for you.

You can find jobs in advance, take temporary work or busk occasionally. You can stay in one place to earn and gather funds or move quickly from place to place. == Street [[Busking]] == Busking is a flexible skill.You can busk in one place, while traveling, busk in a public square or highway.

Basically, you don´t need to be a professional musician, acrobat or talented skillful person to get people´s attention or get a temporary job. Entertain them, provide a service, and fulfill a persons or businesses needs and wants. For this you will get their attention, their thanks, their appreciation, but also in-kind support and pay. You can find jobs in advance, take temporary work or busk occasionally. You can stay in one place to earn and gather funds or move quickly from place to place. == Street [[Busking]] == Busking is a flexible skill.You can busk in one place, while traveling, busk in a public square or highway. While the locations, situations and circumstances may change; basically it always works the same. Take an instrument that you can carry and play. Harmonica is the easiest to travel and carry, along with the ukulele and different kinds of flutes. However, it is easy to carry and travel with some balls you can juggle with. The possibilities are endless. Imagine yourself as a passerby; or a pedestrian. What would entertain you? If you really can´t find any skill, invent it and create it, as ach of us is full of abilities and potential! As for locations, find a well transited place, such as a pedestrian street in city centres, or a subway exit etc. Check the situation for your performance (acoustic condition if you play music, visibility if you wish to make a spectacle. Like [[hitchhiking]], give people the possibility to stop. Ask other buskers in the surrounding vicinity for information. Take time and effort to do this, and while some may not be friendly, you will find the right ones ready to help you. Get to know them, especially if they are local. They know the "rules" (official and practical). Start performing but for a long period (minimum 30min - 1h). Don´t have high expectations and especially don´t get disappointed if you don´t see money dropping quickly. You may earn what you need in the first five minutes or the last five minutes. Just keep playing/performing. Try to call the attention to your performance. The more you will impress people the more money you will get. === Street [[Busking]] Ideas=== * [http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Money-Busking-(Street-Performing)/ On the Make Money Busking] website, you can find some useful tips about how to make better money performing in the streets and how to face the most common troubles Buskers have. However, as for everything, it will be your experience that will lead to the best advice. * [http://www.thebuskingproject.com/ The busking Project.com] is a valuable resource for street performers. * A way to make money on the road. Buy picture postcards and put stamps on them, then set up your own postbox where tourists are passing. ===Annoyances=== # [[Police]] may come to bother you. It may never happen or it may happen all the time. Just keep calm and be relaxed (especially if you are abroad). Often, you may be in a weaker power position. Don't run. Listen to to what they have to say and what they want. Ask them why you can´t play, where is the problem, where you can go etc. If you can´t communicate just stop performing and move somewhere else. # Other buskers may come to bother you. They may start to play next to you, argue that its their place for years etc... Behave as with the police. They are nice people normally come to prevent you, ask you when you will have finished, if they can play after you etc, kindly and gently, the arrogants normally just get nervous angry and might aggress you, verbally as physically. Keep calm and wise, you won´t lose so much money changing spot, if you can´t make your rights be respected just let it flow and move somewhere else, show them how small they are!:) # Nearby shopkeepers might be bothered by your performance, because you "take clients away", if they feel you are too loud, or simply because they are that bored. They have rights, because they can´t go elsewhere to do their business while you can. Again, keep calm if they are aggressive. Just take your stuff and change location. Wait until their shop closes in the evening. == Paying Jobs == There may be a chance to take a temporary job while on the road to earn some money or at least receive some in-kind supports (food and board).

People often compare [[Australia]] to New Zealand and they indeed have a lot in common. The culture is very similar and people seem to be even more relaxed in NZ as they are in Australia, the fact of living on an island probably. Still there are two main differences: First New Zealanders play rubgy, and not this weird Australian "footie", and distances are much shorter than in Australia and you don't risk as much with NZ's climate and wildlife. Depending on when you travel, and on which island you should be careful that there can be heavy snow with blocked roads for some days (especially on the West Coast of the South Island). A story says that New Zealand has 20 sheep for one person but this is actually a myth. 1982 NZ indeed had 70 million sheep for 3,5 million people, but this number dropped to only 31 million in 2011. Which is not too bad already. Because/thanks to the closeness to Asia, you will enjoy taking pictures in the touristic places with full buses of Asian tourists. The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_holiday_visa Working-Holiday Visa] is a great opportunity for all young people of the countries in the convention, and you can soon feel at home surrounded by mainly Germans and Frenchs. You really have to go out of the beaten tracks if you don't like too much taking selfies in front of glaciers. Now, once this is said, it is really understandable why New Zealand is so visited. It is a very safe country with amazing landscapes, in 15 minutes or half an hour the nature changes completely, from yellow sunshining hills to snowy mountains diving into deep blue sea, rivers and tropical forests, huge empty beaches. Even if you don't like to visit touristic places, you can still enjoy Kiwiland by taking other roads. A bit of an expensive country though, especially on beer and tobacco, but quite well paid and jobs even not declared are not too dificult to find. ==Where the hell is Kiwi?== Although it is the dream of every NZ-traveler to see a kiwi, you would be very lucky if you see one elsewhere then on road boards, on the shops, on the banks, in the souvenir shops. If you want it so badly that you cannot come back without having seen one, go to Stewart Island also called Rakiura, otherwise you will have to stop dreaming. But no, don't give up your dreams godamm'it, you will see one! On the other hand, you can easily find another type of kiwi, as it is how New Zealanders call themselves "Hey I'm Kiwi, nice to meet you. What about you?". "Oh what nice, me I'm Sagittarius" could then be a typical conversation. [[hitch:New Zealand]] [[trash:New Zealand]] [[couch:New Zealand]] {{Country |transport=Here again, road organization and price of the fines is pretty much the same as in Australia. One difficulty can be to cross from an island to the other, especially by hitchhiking. NZ have some big restrictions on where you are allowed to camp and authorize in some place only 'self-sufficient' vans, which basically means you have toilets. This can help you chose between when you want to buy or rent a van. ==By car== ===Hitchhiking=== [[Hitchhiking]] is very doable in NZ, the biggest difficulty will be more the amount of cars than the genuine of the people and other travelers. Have a look on [http://hitchwiki.org/en/New_Zealand Hitchwiki] for more tips. ===Traveling in the car of other backpackers=== There are so many travellers in NZ that it is really easy to find people to travel with by car/van in order to share costs and fun. However, it is not sure you will find like-minded people! In the youth hostels' bulletin boards or on [http://christchurch.gumtree.co.nz Gumtree] you can often find people offering rides from a place to another, for free or asking some money for food/fuel expenses, this really depends on the persons and the length of the trip. If you do not meet the people beforehand, and actually even if you meet them, you can have as much a bad as a good surprise! ===Buying a car/van=== This is often a favored option when traveller arrive for long-term in New Zealand. It is much cheaper than renting, and you can pretty easily re-sell when leaving. If you try to sell at the same time everybody does, you might not manage to sell it. ===Rental relocations=== If you don't mind a short schedule you can use a rental car relocation company such as Transfercar or Imoova, but there are hundreds of websites offering these kind of relocation services. Because some itineraries are prefered by tourists, a lot of cars can end up in some place and the company needs to bring it back to a big departure city. They offer then to get a car for free or cheap price for a predetermined amount of days, sometimes fuel offered and sometimes you can have an extra day by noticing the agency. It is a good way to cover long distance in a short amount of time with few money, especially if you are more than 2 and that hitchhiking doesn't look like an option to you. However be careful not to be "ethically" fooled: in a way you help the company by driving their car down and making them save a lot of money, so they shouldn't charge you too much for this, if not charging you at all. [https://www.transfercar.co.nz/ TransferCar] offers free one-way rentals for short-term relocations, e.g. [[Christchurch]] to [[Auckland]] in 4 days, including ferry pass and a full tank of fuel. ===Car rental=== The big name rental cars are fairly expensive, but some comparative websites offer very often good deals. They might charge you more if you are under 25 and only show the normal price until you fill the online form. Be aware of the restrictions such as where you can take the car and drop it and how many kilometers you can do per day (the cheapest cars are usually limited to 100km a day). A rental camper van with friends is likely to be your cheapest option because you will save on accommodation costs. Consider motorhomes as well, some can fit 6 people and splitting costs can make it affordable. And it gives a nice "grandpa and grandma going on holidays"-feeling! Look at [http://www.wickedcampers.co.nz Wicked Campers], they are usually pretty relaxed. They use old vehicles that they paint so the cars and vans are really cool and unique, and they are often the cheapest of all rentals, except when other companies have good deals. As well, if you come and pick your vehicle naked, you get an extra free day, it gives you an idea of the company ;) Make sure you know the road rules (the "Road Code") as police have been cracking down on tourist drivers recently. You can learn the necessary rules for free at [http://www.drivingtests.co.nz this site]. You must carry your licence with you at all times. It must be in English or you will need to have an approved translation or international driving permit. ===Carpooling=== If you’re looking for a cost-effective way to travel between cities, consider carpooling. A great option for backpackers and budget travelers is [https://www.shareyourride.net/carpool/New+Zealand ShareYourRide New Zealand], where you can find rides offered by other travelers. Alternatively, check the blackboard in your hostel or browse local Facebook groups—many people post available seats there. ==By plane== [http://www.jetcost.co.nz Jetcost NZ] gives some pretty good results, Have a look at [[How to find cheap flights]] as well. And be careful of your luggage limitation. ==Budget bus travel== Bus travel tickets between cities in usually range between $10-50 with companies such as [http://www.intercity.co.nz/ InterCity]. ==By bike or walking== NZ is full of mountains and elevation differences so if you are fit or want to loose some weight, [[biking]] is a pretty awesome option. Landscapes are changing all the time and with a good itinerary, you can find empty roads far from the busy and much less enjoyable ones. The country has some awesome [[walking]] paths as well. ==Travel passes== Cities have local travel passes, e.g. Hop Card in [[Auckland]]. These give you access to multiple types of transport ([[bus]], [[train]], [[ferry]]) on one card for a lower fee. |accommodation=Backpackers (youth hostels) are to be found everywhere but will not be your cheapest option. [http://www.bbh.co.nz/ bbh.co.nz] is a listing of cheap '''backpacker accommodation''' in New Zealand, as well as a noticeboard advertising jobs, used cars for sale, people looking for travel buddies and a discussion forum. Invaluable resource while backpacking in NZ. [http://www.backpackerboard.co.nz/ Backpackerboard] also has information on accommodation, events and generally travelling around and staying in New Zealand. There are many rooms available in New Zealand on [https://www.airbnb.com AirBnB] and [[Hospitality exchange]] opportunities. '''Backcountry huts''' are amazing - there are about a thousand (1000!) all over the country. They operate on an honesty system and are never locked, and cost either $0, $5 or $15, payable by hut tickets that need to be purchased in advance (but can then be used anywhere). Huts usually have mattresses and a wood burner as well as toilets and drinking water. The exception are some very popular huts and those on the great walks, which must be pre-booked if in season - and go back to regular hut status in off-season. Consider buying a back country hut pass - as of 2015, it's $92 for 6 or $122 or 12 months and includes unlimited use of all $5 and $15 huts. Even when not on an epic tramping trip this can be a great option for overnight stays - lots of huts are just less than 2 hours walk away from the road - take a nice evening walk to your private hut - chances are high the less popular ones will be empty outside the main season weekends ... DOC has a good map to see what's close [http://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-stay/stay-in-a-hut/] ==Wild camping== Rules have tightened up since the 2011 Rugby World Cup on freedom [[camping]]. However, this does not apply to the backcountry: "Freedom camping is permitted on public conservation land, except in areas where it is expressly prohibited or restricted to self contained vehicles. This is indicated by signage." [http://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-stay/stay-at-a-campsite/freedom-camping/] These areas are usually just car parks or other easily accessible entry points. Otherwise as soon as you are on public conservation land (and 30% of the country is), away from the road, you are free to set up your tent and enjoy the great outdoors! Please do not abuse this privilege! Pack it in, pack it out, leave no trace. Bury your waste far away from any water source so we can all keep drinking water directly from the streams. On council land such as roads, (car)parks etc however, in general if you pitch a [[tent]] basically anywhere that isn't a designated camping spot you can face a NZ$200-$300 fine. This depends on the council, if you want to be certain find the respective bylaws online or call. The main reason behind this is because too many tourists left their rubbish and poop on the ground in traditional free camping spots. Please respect New Zealand and never leave anything, including your defecation, on the ground after camping somewhere. A map with all camping spots including free ones can be found at [http://www.rankers.co.nz/respect http://www.rankers.co.nz/respect]. But unfortunately a lot of free ones are only available for the rich tourists with fully enclosed camper vans and you might find yourself woken up by a council person giving you a $200 fine if you are found tenting there. So check the rules first. However, police and rangers are usually nice and will often let you a second chance, or even a third chance if they catch you again sleeping in a non-authorized place. If you have a car, tell them that you were too tired to continue and that it was dangerous. Police will love to hear that and might be nicer. There are a lot of empty spaces in NZ, so you shouldn't struggle too much to find a place to pitch a tent. ==Spontaneous hospitality== Kiwis are very hospitable and in the countryside, the second house if not the first one will let you pitch your tent in their garden, or even invite you inside. In touristic places such as [[Picton]] or [[Te Anau]], you might have to ask 5 to 10 times, or more. In bigger cities, it might be a more difficult and you could try the suburbs. Look at the [[Spontaneous hospitality]] article. There are many [[WWOOF]] opportunities in New Zealand. Be careful, some of them are closer of exploitation than WWOOFing, don't accept everything. Be aware that New Zealand, unlike Australia, considers volunteer work such as WWOOFing paid work and requires you to hold a work visa. [http://www.dol.govt.nz/immigration/knowledgebase/item/1238] If you do not have one, your host would usually neither mind now know about this, but make sure you don't mention it or give your WWOOF host as your first address on your arrival card. |food=Food is expensive, but you can reduce your budget by combining these three ways. In NZ a lot of supermarkets are reducing the prices of their products that expire soon, from 10% to 70% or more the closest they get to expiry date so you can easily divide your food budget by two. As well, dumpster diving infos in NZ can be found on [http://trashwiki.org/en/New_Zealand Trashwiki]. And petrol stations can be a nice rescue solution. By law after midnight products expire, and you can ask for "out of date products". You will definitely not get the first quality, organic, environmental-friendly-produced food but it will be free or very very cheap. Probably the few coins you give are going into the seller's pocket. In terms of supermarkets, Pak'n'Save tends to be the cheapest of the big brands, but you will often get a better deal on fruit and vegetables at an Asian marketplace. If you can organise yourself to be at one of the larger regional marketplaces, e.g. Avondale Market in [[Auckland]], you will find wholesale prices. See [https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=zDmpvgICAwkk.kizpiFBt6ocg&hl=en&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&msa=0&ll=-41.310824,173.891602&spn=13.855902,15.380859&z=5&source=embed New Zealand food share map].

That's [http://www.karmakitchen.org/ Karma Kitchen], a volunteer-driven experiment in generosity. * '''Sikh Temples''' The strong importance Sikhs place on community has contributed to the emergence of langar—which roughly translates to ‘kitchen’ or ‘canteen.’ It is a practice whereby volunteers in the gurdwaras cook free North Indian food for anyone, regardless of your faith, gender, ethnicity, or financial status, from midday to midnight at your local gurdwara. The only condition is that you cover your head and take off your shoes before entering the langar hall.For more information on visiting a {hhttp://www.sikhiwiki.org/index.php/Visiting_a_Gurdwara Sikh Gurdwara, see this site}. People should take langar as a blessing by the Guru. When in the [[Langar Hall], it is better to ask for less rather than take too much and waste the food.

There are Sikh temples in probably every city in the world. * '''Ligging''' A 'ligger' (UK) is an individual who attends parties, openings, social gatherings and events such as launches and celebrity events with the sole intention of obtaining free food and drink. Sometimes called a blagger (US). The French would call a ligger a 'pique-assiette,” or someone “who picks from others’ plates”. Others on the scene prefer the term “eventing”. Ligging, blagging, or eventing may be a source of free food and drinks. '''Tips''' * Use [https://www.eventbrite.com/ EventBrite].

While some events require professional (medical events), others might be casual. * Be ready to bluff and have a story. Maybe you're a researcher, investor or journalist. Never a student. * If there is a guest list, and they say you're not on there, say you have it in the diary you’re supposed to be here, or that your work-experience guy should have emailed to put you on the guest list. * Check who the sponsor and organizer is. The tech sponsors might be good for beer and pizza; Universities have budgets for decent wine; art galleries are social and fun. Events organised by the legal profession, or indeed any professioanl association are good for drink. The challenge is good food. * Look for the word “reception” as you pass by art galleries, hotels and other possible venues. Look for opening night and press only events.

Good deals from ptel.com and Walmart's StraightTalk. They may need a US credit card, ptel does. Buying airtime for ptel can be tricky, check locations beforehand. The Walmart sim card can be ordered and delivered to a Walmart store in a few days, then you can pick it up once you arrive in the country. You can get refills with a foreign credit card from PrepaidWireless.com but you need a US phone number to receive a call to verify your account. T-mobile will hit you with a $10 charge to activate a sim. AT&T will charge 10c/minute, but then 5c/KB for data. |visa=The '''United States''' have a pretty strict visa policy. * Depends on your nationality. If your country is in the Visa Waiver Program, you don't need a visa for short tourist visits (up to 90 days) unless you have a criminal record or were deported from the US before. * Look at the full rules here http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/without/without_1990.html * If your country is not in the VWP, you have to apply at your nearest US embassy for a visa. Your friend may need to write a letter of support, confirming that he will provide you with accommodation for the duration of your stay. * The embassy in your country should have information specific for your nationality. Embassy information is here http://usembassy.state.gov/ == Passport == Tourists must hold a passport valid for a least 6 months to travel to US. == Visa requirements == * Required by all except the following: (a) citizens of countries under the Visa Waiver Program <br> (b) 1. nationals of [[Bermuda]] and [[Canada]], provided holding valid passports; <br> (c) nationals of [[Mexico]], provided holding a valid passport and a US Border Crossing Card. ==Types of visa and cost== The following is a list of the most commonly requested types of visas: B - Temporary visitor for business or pleasure <br> C - Transit through U.S.<br> D - Crew (airline/ship)<br> F - Student (academic or language program)<br> H - Individuals in specialty occupations (e.g. nurses)<br> I - Journalists <br> J - Exchange visitor <br> K - Fiancé(e) of U.S. citizen <br> L - Intra-company transfer <br> M - Student in vocational or recognized non-academic program <br> O - Individuals with extraordinary ability in sciences, arts, education, business, athletics <br> Q - Participant in an international cultural program <br> R - Religious workers <br> ==Useful tips== * You must apply for your visa at the VAC, the agency formed for this purpose. You could either apply online by visiting http://www.vfs-usa.co.in/ or visit to a VAC close to your area of residence; the addresses are listed on the VFS web site. Read all the rules carefully before applying. * The waiting period depends on the city of application and category of visa applied for. * Sometimes, it so happens that dates are unavailable. In such circumstances, you must constantly keep in touch with VFS and request them to give you an earlier date than what you have got in case a cancellation takes place. * Remember, no influence or contact works to get an early appointment in normal course. No one can help in this matter; you have to wait for your turn. * Be alert by constantly visiting www.vfs-usa.co.in, which may have new information about changing policies and procedures with regard to visa processing. * Even if they sound very busy or formal, do not be afraid to ask questions and seek clarifications from the counter staff at the Visa Application Centre. You must feel satisfied with the answers you get. However, be sparing with your choice of questions, as unnecessary questions could irritate them and result in non-cooperation. * There is a facility for taking passport size photographs and a photocopier machine at the VAC, in case there is an error in your photograph and you need to take a fresh one. Likewise, if some documents required to be submitted and you do not have photocopies, you can get them done at this centre too. * When you go for your interview, the Visa Application Center charges additional fees for snacks and drinks. This is optional and NOT compulsory. * Make sure you carry all your documents for your interview. In case, all your documentation is not in order etc, you may need to seek another visa appointment. == US Embassies and/or Consulates == A complete listing of US Embassies abroad can be found on the State Department's Web site at http://usembassy.state.gov * '''Australia''' Embassy of United States in Canberra, Australia <br> American Embassy<br> Moonah Place<br> Yarralumla ACT 2600<br> City: Canberra<br> Phone: (+61-2) 6214-5600<br> Fax: (+61-2) 6214-5970<br> Web Site: http://canberra.usembassy.gov/<br> Office Hours: General inquiries: 8:00am - 5:00pm Monday-Friday<br> * '''Canada''' U.S. Embassy in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada <br> 490 Sussex Drive<br> Ottawa, Ontario<br> K1N 1G8 Canada<br> Courier Address: 207 Bank Street, suite 418<br> Ottawa, Ontario K2P 2N2 Canada<br> City: Ottawa<br> Phone: 613.688.5335<br> Fax: 613.688.3082<br> Web Site: http://ottawa.usembassy.gov/<br> Email: mailto:ottawareference@state.gov, mailto:web1@ottawa.usembassy.gov<br> Office Hours: American Citizen Services: Monday - Friday (except Wednesdays) from 8am to 12pm. Visas Mnday - Friday from 8am to 4pm. All persons seeking U.S. visas require an appointment in advance. The Embassy is closed for both Canadian and U.S. holidays. ==Visa Waiver Program== Citizens from more affluent countries are allowed to enter the US through the Visa Waiver Program. This allows for a 90 stay. It doesn't allow extending the visa, if you want to stay longer you probably need a B1/B2 visa. The Visa Waiver Program doesn't allow going to Canada for a day and coming back, you have to stay out of the US for 3 months or apply for a B1/B2. You are required to hold a return or on-ward ticket, and this is often already enforced at the departure airport. When coming from another continent than your place of residency (as part of a [[round the world trip]]) this might not be the case. If you're coming from [[Europe]] however, a flight to [[Mexico]] or the [[Bahamas]] won't cut it. Within North America and the Carribean you have to get as far as [[Costa Rica]]. ==B1/B2 visa== A B1/B2 visa allows for a 6 month stay in the United States. Often you will be given a visa that is valid for 10 years (meaning you're allowed to stay 6 months in the US every year), meaning that you can stay 6 months every year in the US. It is possible to extend this visa while in the US. When applying for an extension you have to stay in the US until you get a yes or no answer. }} 7ebvljegxpmo8byo3lrz852wv6a0cwf 14 115 502 2013-09-12T22:46:13Z Guaka 1 Created page with "[[Category:Browse]]" 502 wikitext text/x-wiki [[Category:Browse]] qz7zhsolocjsow2ekcrno7esoxhbe8o 14 116 503 2013-09-12T22:46:34Z Guaka 1 Created page with "top!" 503 wikitext text/x-wiki top! 96rbt281wv465j479xlarnnx8vpjin0 14 117 504 2013-09-12T22:58:36Z Guaka 1 Created page with "[[Category:Browse]]" 504 wikitext text/x-wiki [[Category:Browse]] qz7zhsolocjsow2ekcrno7esoxhbe8o 14 118 505 2013-09-12T22:59:14Z Guaka 1 Created page with "[[Category:Browse]]" 505 wikitext text/x-wiki [[Category:Browse]] qz7zhsolocjsow2ekcrno7esoxhbe8o 14 120 507 2013-09-12T23:00:47Z Guaka 1 Created page with "[[Category:Browse]]" 507 wikitext text/x-wiki [[Category:Browse]] qz7zhsolocjsow2ekcrno7esoxhbe8o 3 121 508 2013-09-12T23:24:17Z Guaka 1 Hi David!

It is one of the most interesting cities in Germany and quite different from the rest of the country. |transport====Bikes=== * [http://bikesurfberlin.blogspot.com/ BikeSurfBerlin] * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_a_Bike Call a bike] === [[Public Transportation]] === The public transportation is very efficient and can pretty much take you wherever you're going inside and around the city. There are S-bahns, U-bahns, Trams and Buses. When you purchase the transport ticket (or at least the daily, weekly and monthly ticket) it is valid for all forms of public transportation in the city. * Single ticket Berlin AB - € 2.70 (For the price of five single tickets you can purchase two daily tickets) * 4-trip-ticket Berlin AB - € 9.00 (You get four single tickets and save EUR 1.8 or 45 cents per ticket) * Day ticket Berlin AB - € 6.90 (This ticket is worth three "4-trip" single tickets) * 7-Day-Ticket Berlin AB - € 29.50 (In a period of one week this ticket is '''40% more cost efficient''' then seven daily ticket) * Monthly ticket Berlin AB - € 78.00 (In a period of one month this ticket is 40% more cost efficient then the weekly ticket and '''64% more cost efficient''' then thirty daily tickets) * Small group day ticket Berlin AB - € 16.90 (This option is only worth your money if there is at least three people in the group) <small>''These prices were last checked in June 2015.''</small> Except the short-trip ticket which is not even worth putting on this list, the single ticket is probably the worst option for a visitor of the ones listed above. It's too expensive compared to other tickets and it only gives you two hours of limited movement: ''"Return trips (back to the starting point) and round trips (journeys that take a different route from the outbound journey) are not permitted."'' The daily ticket is your best option is you are just traveling through Berlin and want to stay less then a week. It will give you freedom of movement with the public transport inside it's zone from the moment it's validated until 3.00 A.M the next day. If you want to get the most out of this ticket you should get up early. The 7-day-ticket is the best option of all of these if you plan to stick around in Berlin for more then a week. You save a bit less then € 20 by buying this ticket instead of seven daily ones. If you are traveling with someone or the control personel pops up and someone around you doesn't have a valid ticket then this ticket's perk becomes quite handy: ''"You can travel with one adult and up to three children aged 6 to 14 free of charge on Mondays to Fridays from 8:00 p.m., and all day on Saturdays, Sundays, the 24th and 31st of December as well as on public holidays."'' ''Note that you have to purchase this tickets from the VBB/DB otherwise if you decide to get it from the automated ticket machines you pay twice as much.'' Even though the second person has two free days of traveling in a week if they buys daily tickets it's still more expensive (exactly € 5) from them to get five daily tickets and enjoy the free days. This ticket costs € 4.2 per day and is a few cents cheaper then two single tickets purchased with a "4-trip" option. When you calculate everything, the second person would save only € 1 per day by validating ten single tickets purchased with a "4-trip" option and enjoying two days with free transportation. The monthly ticket enjoys the same perk as the 7-day-ticket mentioned above. It's price is equal to the price of 2.5 weekly tickets which means you get around thirteen days of free transportation by choosing this option over the weekly one. When calculated it costs € 2.46 per day which is actually cheaper the the standard single ticket. The small group day ticket is the most interesting one as it's valid for up to five people for the entire day. This option is only worth your money if there is at least three people in the group. If you purchase this ticket instead of the daily one: 5 people will save € 3.5 per person, 4 people will save € 2.7 per person and 3 people will save € 1.3 per person. If five people purchased this ticket every day for the whole week it would be around € 5 cheaper for each person then the weekly one. The conclusion is that if there is more then three of you in a group staying in Berlin for less then a week or five of you staying for one week or longer and you plan to move together then it's worth buying this ticket.

Ticket inspectors usually wear uniforms on the U-Bahn, on the S-bahn it's possible that there are some in civil clothing, and since they do not receive an hourly wage but a salary depending on how many people they catch, playing the "dumb tourist" will have no effect on them; they want you in their record. The good news is that even if they ask you to pay the fine on the spot (EUR 40), you can say you don't have the money and then you have two weeks to pay it. Be careful when giving false addresses, as inspectors can check whether the name and address you give them match. Giving a foreign address is your safest bet here. If a controller catches you, use some identification besides your passport, preferably one that doesn't have your real name on it. That way you're not in the system. First time you also may have a good chance to decrease your fine if you write a letter to the S-Bahn office. It´s wise to mention things like it was an unlucky event, you've been overwhelmed by the city and the mass of people and that you usually pay for the good and ecological public transport... :) The official Berlin website says this about black riding: ''"Anyone caught in public transportion without a valid ticket must pay a higher fare of 40 Euro. Even people who forgot to stamp their ticket must pay the penalty. Note: Ticket inspectors are dressed in civilian clothes and will not make any exceptions for tourists. Those who get caught have to prove their identity otherwise the police will be called."'' Trams and buses are easier to black ride: Trams have vending machines inside, so keep close to one and in case someone should ask for tickets just be at the point of getting one, after all, it takes a while to find some small cash, figure out which ticket to get, how to use the machine ... :) On buses you'll have to show your ticket to the driver when getting in, but they barely look at it so an old used one usually does just fine. Rumour has it that inventive nomads already got in with supermarket receipts.. Another option is the social one: Most people are actually riding on a monthly ticket called "Umweltkarte". It is valid for *two* adults after 20:00 and all day on weekends and public holidays. The same also applies to the 7day ticket, but not the student ticket. So just ask around, but be prepared to explain yourself as it's not common so people may be somewhat puzzled at first. Take it as a way to meet random people and at the same time relax about controllers! In case you splurged and got yourself a real ticket, share it! A single one works for a whole two hours, and a day ticket until 03:00. After you're done using yours just drop it inside a vending machine or on top of the validator thing, and someone will be happy to take it! Organised as Germans are, they've pulled up some tools to help with black riding: * The Facebook group “[https://www.facebook.com/berlin.schwarzfahren Schwarzfahren Berlin]” provides riders with current and constantly updated information about what stops and train lines to avoid. * The Android-app “[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.sradar&hl=en Schaffner radar]” helps to avoid controllers.

You can access them via publics. One of the lakes which is ideal for camping is "[https://www.google.com/maps/@52.4469115,13.6576154,15z Großer Müggelsee]" in Friedrichshagen. It's quite reachable with public transportation. From Hauptbanhof or Alexanderplatz take S5, S7 or S75 to Ostkreuz and from there take S3 to Friedrischagen or Rahnsdorf. If you try to reach it from Rahnsorf you have to take the bus or walk four or five kilometers. Going from Friedrischagen seems to be a better option as you can take four stations with a tram which is easier to black-ride. It can prove to be quite dangerous to walk to the lake at night as there is a lot of wild boars roaming the forests. These boars around Berlin are not so afraid of people and can attack you if they are accompanied by their younglings. The road from both Rahnsdorf and Friedrischagen to the camping location on the lake has poor public lightning and is a common path for wild boars. This lake is quite populated in the morning hours but very deserted in the evening (except weekends). What makes this camping spot great is that the lake is not poluted, there is a lot of animals to hang out with (the swans and ducks will want you to feed them), you have a toilet, electricity and unfortunately not free internet connection at a commercial camping spot called "Jugenddorf am Müggelsee". Note that camping on non-camping designated spots in Berlin is not permitted, so you should be prepared to meet the "forest police" is you camp at a place where it's easy to spot you from the main paths. <small>''Last checked in June 2015''</small> You can also go to Teepeeland,in Kopernicker st. in front of the Kopi and along the Spree.

Better to ask them on couchsurfing before, it's a nice option to live in the center (Ostbanhof) and to meet cool people.

When you purchase the transport ticket (or at least the daily, weekly and monthly ticket) it is valid for all forms of public transportation in the city. * Single ticket Berlin AB - € 2.70 (For the price of five single tickets you can purchase two daily tickets) * 4-trip-ticket Berlin AB - € 9.00 (You get four single tickets and save EUR 1.8 or 45 cents per ticket) * Day ticket Berlin AB - € 6.90 (This ticket is worth three "4-trip" single tickets) * 7-Day-Ticket Berlin AB - € 29.50 (In a period of one week this ticket is '''40% more cost efficient''' then seven daily ticket) * Monthly ticket Berlin AB - € 78.00 (In a period of one month this ticket is 40% more cost efficient then the weekly ticket and '''64% more cost efficient''' then thirty daily tickets) * Small group day ticket Berlin AB - € 16.90 (This option is only worth your money if there is at least three people in the group) <small>''These prices were last checked in June 2015.''</small> Except the short-trip ticket which is not even worth putting on this list, the single ticket is probably the worst option for a visitor of the ones listed above. It's too expensive compared to other tickets and it only gives you two hours of limited movement: ''"Return trips (back to the starting point) and round trips (journeys that take a different route from the outbound journey) are not permitted."'' The daily ticket is your best option is you are just traveling through Berlin and want to stay less then a week. It will give you freedom of movement with the public transport inside it's zone from the moment it's validated until 3.00 A.M the next day. If you want to get the most out of this ticket you should get up early. The 7-day-ticket is the best option of all of these if you plan to stick around in Berlin for more then a week. You save a bit less then € 20 by buying this ticket instead of seven daily ones. If you are traveling with someone or the control personel pops up and someone around you doesn't have a valid ticket then this ticket's perk becomes quite handy: ''"You can travel with one adult and up to three children aged 6 to 14 free of charge on Mondays to Fridays from 8:00 p.m., and all day on Saturdays, Sundays, the 24th and 31st of December as well as on public holidays."'' ''Note that you have to purchase this tickets from the VBB/DB otherwise if you decide to get it from the automated ticket machines you pay twice as much.'' Even though the second person has two free days of traveling in a week if they buys daily tickets it's still more expensive (exactly € 5) from them to get five daily tickets and enjoy the free days. This ticket costs € 4.2 per day and is a few cents cheaper then two single tickets purchased with a "4-trip" option. When you calculate everything, the second person would save only € 1 per day by validating ten single tickets purchased with a "4-trip" option and enjoying two days with free transportation. The monthly ticket enjoys the same perk as the 7-day-ticket mentioned above. It's price is equal to the price of 2.5 weekly tickets which means you get around thirteen days of free transportation by choosing this option over the weekly one. When calculated it costs € 2.46 per day which is actually cheaper the the standard single ticket. The small group day ticket is the most interesting one as it's valid for up to five people for the entire day. This option is only worth your money if there is at least three people in the group. If you purchase this ticket instead of the daily one: 5 people will save € 3.5 per person, 4 people will save € 2.7 per person and 3 people will save € 1.3 per person. If five people purchased this ticket every day for the whole week it would be around € 5 cheaper for each person then the weekly one. The conclusion is that if there is more then three of you in a group staying in Berlin for less then a week or five of you staying for one week or longer and you plan to move together then it's worth buying this ticket.

Ticket inspectors usually wear uniforms on the U-Bahn, on the S-bahn it's possible that there are some in civil clothing, and since they do not receive an hourly wage but a salary depending on how many people they catch, playing the "dumb tourist" will have no effect on them; they want you in their record. The good news is that even if they ask you to pay the fine on the spot (EUR 40), you can say you don't have the money and then you have two weeks to pay it. Be careful when giving false addresses, as inspectors can check whether the name and address you give them match. Giving a foreign address is your safest bet here. If a controller catches you, use some identification besides your passport, preferably one that doesn't have your real name on it. That way you're not in the system. First time you also may have a good chance to decrease your fine if you write a letter to the S-Bahn office. It´s wise to mention things like it was an unlucky event, you've been overwhelmed by the city and the mass of people and that you usually pay for the good and ecological public transport... :) The official Berlin website says this about black riding: ''"Anyone caught in public transportion without a valid ticket must pay a higher fare of 40 Euro. Even people who forgot to stamp their ticket must pay the penalty. Note: Ticket inspectors are dressed in civilian clothes and will not make any exceptions for tourists. Those who get caught have to prove their identity otherwise the police will be called."'' Trams and buses are easier to black ride: Trams have vending machines inside, so keep close to one and in case someone should ask for tickets just be at the point of getting one, after all, it takes a while to find some small cash, figure out which ticket to get, how to use the machine ... :) On buses you'll have to show your ticket to the driver when getting in, but they barely look at it so an old used one usually does just fine. Rumour has it that inventive nomads already got in with supermarket receipts.. Another option is the social one: Most people are actually riding on a monthly ticket called "Umweltkarte". It is valid for *two* adults after 20:00 and all day on weekends and public holidays. The same also applies to the 7day ticket, but not the student ticket. So just ask around, but be prepared to explain yourself as it's not common so people may be somewhat puzzled at first. Take it as a way to meet random people and at the same time relax about controllers! In case you splurged and got yourself a real ticket, share it! A single one works for a whole two hours, and a day ticket until 03:00. After you're done using yours just drop it inside a vending machine or on top of the validator thing, and someone will be happy to take it! Organised as Germans are, they've pulled up some tools to help with black riding: * The Facebook group “[https://www.facebook.com/berlin.schwarzfahren Schwarzfahren Berlin]” provides riders with current and constantly updated information about what stops and train lines to avoid. * The Android-app “[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.sradar&hl=en Schaffner radar]” helps to avoid controllers.

You can access them via publics. One of the lakes which is ideal for camping is "[https://www.google.com/maps/@52.4469115,13.6576154,15z Großer Müggelsee]" in Friedrichshagen. It's quite reachable with public transportation. From Hauptbanhof or Alexanderplatz take S5, S7 or S75 to Ostkreuz and from there take S3 to Friedrischagen or Rahnsdorf. If you try to reach it from Rahnsorf you have to take the bus or walk four or five kilometers. Going from Friedrischagen seems to be a better option as you can take four stations with a tram which is easier to black-ride. It can prove to be quite dangerous to walk to the lake at night as there is a lot of wild boars roaming the forests. These boars around Berlin are not so afraid of people and can attack you if they are accompanied by their younglings. The road from both Rahnsdorf and Friedrischagen to the camping location on the lake has poor public lightning and is a common path for wild boars. This lake is quite populated in the morning hours but very deserted in the evening (except weekends). What makes this camping spot great is that the lake is not poluted, there is a lot of animals to hang out with (the swans and ducks will want you to feed them), you have a toilet, electricity and unfortunately not free internet connection at a commercial camping spot called "Jugenddorf am Müggelsee". Note that camping on non-camping designated spots in Berlin is not permitted, so you should be prepared to meet the "forest police" is you camp at a place where it's easy to spot you from the main paths. <small>''Last checked in June 2015''</small> You can also go to Teepeeland,in Kopernicker st. in front of the Kopi and along the Spree.

It is one of the most interesting cities in Germany and quite different from the rest of the country. |transport====Bikes=== * [http://bikesurfberlin.blogspot.com/ BikeSurfBerlin] * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_a_Bike Call a bike] === [[Public Transportation]] === The public transportation is very efficient and can pretty much take you wherever you're going inside and around the city. There are S-bahns, U-bahns, Trams and Buses. When you purchase the transport ticket (or at least the daily, weekly and monthly ticket) it is valid for all forms of public transportation in the city. * Single ticket Berlin AB - € 2.70 (For the price of five single tickets you can purchase two daily tickets) * 4-trip-ticket Berlin AB - € 9.00 (You get four single tickets and save EUR 1.8 or 45 cents per ticket) * Day ticket Berlin AB - € 6.90 (This ticket is worth three "4-trip" single tickets) * 7-Day-Ticket Berlin AB - € 29.50 (In a period of one week this ticket is '''40% more cost efficient''' then seven daily ticket) * Monthly ticket Berlin AB - € 78.00 (In a period of one month this ticket is 40% more cost efficient then the weekly ticket and '''64% more cost efficient''' then thirty daily tickets) * Small group day ticket Berlin AB - € 16.90 (This option is only worth your money if there is at least three people in the group) <small>''These prices were last checked in June 2015.''</small> Except the short-trip ticket which is not even worth putting on this list, the single ticket is probably the worst option for a visitor of the ones listed above. It's too expensive compared to other tickets and it only gives you two hours of limited movement: ''"Return trips (back to the starting point) and round trips (journeys that take a different route from the outbound journey) are not permitted."'' The daily ticket is your best option is you are just traveling through Berlin and want to stay less then a week. It will give you freedom of movement with the public transport inside it's zone from the moment it's validated until 3.00 A.M the next day. If you want to get the most out of this ticket you should get up early. The 7-day-ticket is the best option of all of these if you plan to stick around in Berlin for more then a week. You save a bit less then € 20 by buying this ticket instead of seven daily ones. If you are traveling with someone or the control personel pops up and someone around you doesn't have a valid ticket then this ticket's perk becomes quite handy: ''"You can travel with one adult and up to three children aged 6 to 14 free of charge on Mondays to Fridays from 8:00 p.m., and all day on Saturdays, Sundays, the 24th and 31st of December as well as on public holidays."'' ''Note that you have to purchase this tickets from the VBB/DB otherwise if you decide to get it from the automated ticket machines you pay twice as much.'' Even though the second person has two free days of traveling in a week if they buys daily tickets it's still more expensive (exactly € 5) from them to get five daily tickets and enjoy the free days. This ticket costs € 4.2 per day and is a few cents cheaper then two single tickets purchased with a "4-trip" option. When you calculate everything, the second person would save only € 1 per day by validating ten single tickets purchased with a "4-trip" option and enjoying two days with free transportation. The monthly ticket enjoys the same perk as the 7-day-ticket mentioned above. It's price is equal to the price of 2.5 weekly tickets which means you get around thirteen days of free transportation by choosing this option over the weekly one. When calculated it costs € 2.46 per day which is actually cheaper the the standard single ticket. The small group day ticket is the most interesting one as it's valid for up to five people for the entire day. This option is only worth your money if there is at least three people in the group. If you purchase this ticket instead of the daily one: 5 people will save € 3.5 per person, 4 people will save € 2.7 per person and 3 people will save € 1.3 per person. If five people purchased this ticket every day for the whole week it would be around € 5 cheaper for each person then the weekly one. The conclusion is that if there is more then three of you in a group staying in Berlin for less then a week or five of you staying for one week or longer and you plan to move together then it's worth buying this ticket.

Ticket inspectors usually wear uniforms on the U-Bahn, on the S-bahn it's possible that there are some in civil clothing, and since they do not receive an hourly wage but a salary depending on how many people they catch, playing the "dumb tourist" will have no effect on them; they want you in their record. The good news is that even if they ask you to pay the fine on the spot (EUR 40), you can say you don't have the money and then you have two weeks to pay it. Be careful when giving false addresses, as inspectors can check whether the name and address you give them match. Giving a foreign address is your safest bet here. If a controller catches you, use some identification besides your passport, preferably one that doesn't have your real name on it. That way you're not in the system. First time you also may have a good chance to decrease your fine if you write a letter to the S-Bahn office. It´s wise to mention things like it was an unlucky event, you've been overwhelmed by the city and the mass of people and that you usually pay for the good and ecological public transport... :) The official Berlin website says this about black riding: ''"Anyone caught in public transportion without a valid ticket must pay a higher fare of 40 Euro. Even people who forgot to stamp their ticket must pay the penalty. Note: Ticket inspectors are dressed in civilian clothes and will not make any exceptions for tourists. Those who get caught have to prove their identity otherwise the police will be called."'' Trams and buses are easier to black ride: Trams have vending machines inside, so keep close to one and in case someone should ask for tickets just be at the point of getting one, after all, it takes a while to find some small cash, figure out which ticket to get, how to use the machine ... :) On buses you'll have to show your ticket to the driver when getting in, but they barely look at it so an old used one usually does just fine. Rumour has it that inventive nomads already got in with supermarket receipts.. Another option is the social one: Most people are actually riding on a monthly ticket called "Umweltkarte". It is valid for *two* adults after 20:00 and all day on weekends and public holidays. The same also applies to the 7day ticket, but not the student ticket. So just ask around, but be prepared to explain yourself as it's not common so people may be somewhat puzzled at first. Take it as a way to meet random people and at the same time relax about controllers! In case you splurged and got yourself a real ticket, share it! A single one works for a whole two hours, and a day ticket until 03:00. After you're done using yours just drop it inside a vending machine or on top of the validator thing, and someone will be happy to take it! Organised as Germans are, they've pulled up some tools to help with black riding: * The Facebook group “[https://www.facebook.com/berlin.schwarzfahren Schwarzfahren Berlin]” provides riders with current and constantly updated information about what stops and train lines to avoid. * The Android-app “[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.sradar&hl=en Schaffner radar]” helps to avoid controllers.

You can access them via publics. One of the lakes which is ideal for camping is "[https://www.google.com/maps/@52.4469115,13.6576154,15z Großer Müggelsee]" in Friedrichshagen. It's quite reachable with public transportation. From Hauptbanhof or Alexanderplatz take S5, S7 or S75 to Ostkreuz and from there take S3 to Friedrischagen or Rahnsdorf. If you try to reach it from Rahnsorf you have to take the bus or walk four or five kilometers. Going from Friedrischagen seems to be a better option as you can take four stations with a tram which is easier to black-ride. It can prove to be quite dangerous to walk to the lake at night as there is a lot of wild boars roaming the forests. These boars around Berlin are not so afraid of people and can attack you if they are accompanied by their younglings. The road from both Rahnsdorf and Friedrischagen to the camping location on the lake has poor public lightning and is a common path for wild boars. This lake is quite populated in the morning hours but very deserted in the evening (except weekends). What makes this camping spot great is that the lake is not poluted, there is a lot of animals to hang out with (the swans and ducks will want you to feed them), you have a toilet, electricity and unfortunately not free internet connection at a commercial camping spot called "Jugenddorf am Müggelsee". Note that camping on non-camping designated spots in Berlin is not permitted, so you should be prepared to meet the "forest police" is you camp at a place where it's easy to spot you from the main paths. <small>''Last checked in June 2015''</small> You can also go to Teepeeland,in Kopernicker st. in front of the Kopi and along the Spree. They'll allow you to put your tent there if you're not an asshole. As its name indicate, it's a teepee community. Better to ask them on couchsurfing before, it's a nice option to live in the center (Ostbanhof) and to meet cool people.

The situations do differ a lot according to the country, the means of transportation you are using and the local habits and mentality. Generally, like for [[shoplifting]] the more is usual the more it means that it is doable but also that companies do take some precaution, i.e. there are checks; while when is not usual or it is impossible, or people normally don't do it. ==How== Just get on the bus, train, ferry or station and don't buy the ticket. If there is any obstacle (like a barrier) impeding you the entrance avoid it, jump it or pass behind somebody who is paying; if there is a human being asking you to pay then it's a bit more complicated but you have to find a way not to be noticed. Then, once in, behave and pretend as a perfect normal passenger, forget you haven't paid and remember it only when you start to see [[checkers]]. ==Public transport== This is the most frequent and easiest means blackrided. In some cities like [[London]] and sometimes even in entire countries like in the [[Netherlands]], [[UK]] or [[Turkey]] it is almost always technically impossible since the ticket is checked by the driver who doesn't let you in if you don't pay it. Some exception though are more than possible view your status of moneyless traveler, some driver may let you in just for some stop or some passenger (e.g. in Turkey) may pay for you. In some city like [[Paris]] there are also some blackriders (probably illegal and anonymous, called something like "la mutuelle") association where you pay a monthly cheap amount and you can bring your fine if controlers bust you. Are becoming popular also some mobile app, to inform other blackriders if there are checkers around, similar to those for speed radars for cars. ==Trains== Trains are normally the most blackrided means after public transport, and especially in certain countries like [[Italy]], [[Spain]] or [[Sweden]] are very easy to take for free what contrast the little hardness of hitchin. Keep in mind that often trains are long; and normally the checker is one or two. Try to get on the farest part of the train from him/her, then wait, if there is enough people it will take quite a long time to check anyone. The main fact is that (unless you stay on for few time, few stops) You have to "cross" him/her and go to the part he/she already checked. You have two option, one, the most known (also by them, who often open the doors for this reason) and used is the toilet, hide inside and wait they have passed. If not wait until a certain stop, when the train stops he/she has to go down and make a sign to the driver before the train starts again, in that moment you will go to the already checked part. On night trains, it's a bit more complicated since all the cabins are reserved and registered in advance, though when you'll have succeeded you ll have also a free bed for the night.. Get on early and find a cabin with possibly more than one empty bed (the more are empty the better it is) and a good/cool company that could help you once explained the situation. Hide your luggage among the others' ones. Go and hide in the toilet straight after the train had started or even before, the checkers normally pass at the very beginning of the departure not to bother the passengers after. Wait..it can be long but you have to be sure the checker already controlled the cabin you choosed for your night. Once back, ask the other "cool" passenger if they passed and confirmed there are some free bed. [[User:FedeDC|Fede]], after having tried to hitch a longride the whole day, on september 2013, found en empty cabin with a very cool german guy who did help him a lot and traveled (even with his very small experience in blackriding and his very not cold blood) from [[Stockholm]] to [[Malmo]] all the night long with no ticket sleeping kind of relaxed and waking up at his destination. ==Ferries== It's a bit harder than the previous but it does work and especially in some expensive country like [[Norway]] it does represent a good option to move with no money. You have to mingle with the cars. Stay away from other backpackers/travelers on foot if they have the ticket, if they don't and want to come with you split in small groups. Sometimes (almost always in Norway) tickets are issued and paid on the land by some workers from the company who come to you at the harbour and ask you if you need to buy the ticket. Hide from them and wait for the ferry to come, once they start to board people just go in walking, ticket sellers should be quite busy with cars. This is also one of the few way (with plane hitchhiking from [[Scotland]]) to get to [[Iceland]] for free from [[Denmark]], to go to [[Greece]] from [[Italy]] and viceversa or to go around Egean Sea (Greek islands) with no money.

From the very Mediterranean, almost Arabic, [[Andalucia]] to the very proudly autonomous regions (or countries according to many of their inhabitants) like [[Catalunya]], [[Euskadi]] (Basque country) and [[Galicia]] in the North. Spanish people are usually not very talented speaking foreign languages which makes your life much harder if you don't speak a basic Spanish. There is a big counter culture, from the "[[acampadas]]" (occupy) movement, to many [[ecovillages]] and [[communities]] all around the countries. Especially the south, can be very hot in summer (the whole country actually), but nicely warm in winter, making it a good idea for [[Winter retreats]]. It is generally quite a good place for nomads. |transport=[[Hitchhiking]] in Spain sometimes might be not so easy. However, the meaning of the thumb will be very easiful understood, though probably the best method will be asking people directly whenever possible, even if your Spanish is very poor. |accommodation====Wild camping and Bivouacking === Wild camping should be theoretically illegal, though practically much more than tolerated. As usual, the less you stay and less you let others notice you, the easier will be. It is legal to wild camp for free in Spain as long as you camp when the sun sets and leave early in the morning. This is called pernoctation and the forest guards will not bother you if you explain that you know what you are doing. Remember that lighting a fire is forbid in most of the Spanish regions. If you go to Spain during the summer months (June-August) it will be warm enough in the night to bivouac (sleep outdoors without a tent). However, it is recommended to take a thick sleeping bag because temperatures can drop to 10 celsius degrees in the north, the ''meseta'', and hilly areas. Although it might seem very bohemian and romantic, avoid sleeping in a beach. Especially if it is populated by drunk people and ''guiris'' (Spanish despective word for stereotypical north-European tourists that come to Spain for cheap alcohol and street sex). Chances are you will get stolen by pickpockets who go to those beaches to take advantage of the wealthy, drunk ''guiris''. ===Squatting === Despite the fact that many houses have been shut down lately, Spain has a very active squatting scene. It’s quite easy to find a place to crash by asking around for a ''casa okupada''. ===Hostels and Pensions === There are plenty of backpacker's hostels in big and not-so-big cities in Spain that you will find online through sites like www.hostelworld.com . A cheap hostel you can find online might cost between 10 and 20 euros depending on the season and the region (Basque Country, Catalonia and Madrid are usually more expensive than the rest of the country). Now, here is the little secret that Spaniards know and you don't, A vast majority of cheap ''pensiones'' do not appear on the internet and you will hardly find any information on google or tourism offices. This is probably because the owner of the "pension" or hostel might be an old lady that rents a room in some kind of not very legal way. ''Pensiones'' can vary in cost and luxury, depending on the number of stars you find under the "P" sign. The best thing to do is to go to the city hall and ask for the yellow pages book ''Páginas amarillas'', call the pensions and ask for the price. You will need to speak Spanish here, or find someone that can speak Spanish for you because most old ladies do not speak English. It is a good idea to ask the locals if they know a cheap place to stay, or even ask so to other pension owners. ===Pilgrim hostels (Camino de Santiago) === Camino de Santiago is a legendary long hiking pilgrimage trail that can be started from almost anywhere in Europe. It ends in Santiago de Compostela, a beautiful city in the heart of Galicia. Obviously, this trail reaches its highest fame rate in Spain, where it is known by everyone and is even part of folklore. Nowadays, pilgrims that go to Santiago are backpackers from all around the world with varied reasons for walking (some religious, some for fun etc). There is a broad net of ''albergues de peregrinos'' (pilgrim hostels) all around Spain for the pilgrims to spend the night after a day of walking. Those are undoubtedly the cheapest accommodation in the country. The price can vary from 5 to 10 euros and even some religious centres offer it for free or the will. In most cases, to use the pilgrim albergues you will need to prove that you are a pilgrim with a ''credencial'', a passport with the stamps of the towns that the pilgrim has passed by in his journey. You can get your credencial in any church/city hall through which the Camino passes. Lately, people do the Camino in many different ways and directions, Some even by car. So do not be shy about asking the ''albergue'' owners for a bed or help. If you are friendly, they will be too. |bewelcome-link=http://www.bewelcome.org/places/Spain/ES |food=Dumpster diving at supermarkets and openmarket works usually well.

The beating hearts of Morocco, fuelled entirely by tourist dollars, some people hate the cities, others never want to leave them. The other side of Morocco is the countryside, the mountains and farmland, largely populated by ethnic Berbers, for whom hospitality is sacred. In the cities, people expect payment for nearly everything. By contrast, in the little mountain villages you would offend someone if you offered him money for his hospitality. If you are friendly and speak a little French, you can expect a cup of tea or even a meal at almost every Berber village. Keep a notebook to write Facebook addresses and phone numbers in! You will also have many interactions with European tourists if you stick to the main tourist routes. Camping is tolerated everywhere, although not technically permitted. The police are supposed to tell you to pack up your tent and find a hotel, but this never really happens. In the cities, everyone speaks French and almost everyone speaks English. Spanish, Italian, German, even a little Japanese are often spoken to some degree by shopkeepers. But if you plan on exploring outside the cities, you will have a much better time if you speak a little French. It is often essential for hitchhiking and asking directions. {{Country |transport=[[Hitchhiking]] Hitchhiking is fairly easy and quite common among locals. Moroccans use the index finger instead of the thumb. The only problem is that about half the time people expect payment. Usually it's easy to tell if someone is expecting money, but if you want to be sure, tell them you can't pay before you get in the vehicle. 10 dirham is usually enough for rides under half an hour, 20dh for an hour or more. A rather filthy trick is to only flag down new-looking cars. These will usually be middle class Moroccans from the northern cities who will not expect payment, or European tourists with rental cars who will often speak English and even buy you lunch. Another thing you'll have to endure while hitchhiking is taxis stopping and trying to lure you inside. You'll get used to shouting "Non, merci!" and giving them a lazy wave. [[Taxis]] Taxis are the most popular method of transport. I hardly ever used them so I don't know about prices; please edit this section if you have experience. Always try to get a shared cab; they can be extremely cheap since the driver will try to cram in as many people as he can possibly fit. Always agree on a price BEFORE getting in the vehicle. Taxis to and from airports are usually complete rip-offs. From the Marrakech airport to the city they will try to shake you down for 50 to 100dh; a fair price would be 10-20. [[Buses]] Buses are by far the best and cheapest way to get long distances, and are more comfortable and often faster than trains. The only problem is it is easy to get ripped off. The rule for buying bus tickets is to only buy from the driver, or from someone behind a desk. People stand around bus stations preying on people unfamiliar with the bus system. Ignore them; even if they aren't successful at overcharging you, they will expect a tip. To know if you're being cheated you should know typical prices. Depending on the bus company, you should be charged 20-30 dirham per hour. So if they ask for 100dh, the bus ride had better be several hours long. They will usually charge you 10 dirham extra for your baggage. Sometimes this is legitemate, sometimes not. Marrakech’s main bus station is notorious for hustlers. A better station is just around the corner from the YHA hostel, near the French consulate. '''Trains''' I have little experience with trains, but Moroccans say that they are dirty, uncomfortable, and excruciatingly slow, since they stop at every tiny village. They are a good way to get to the Casablanca airport from the city. |accommodation=Accommodation is very affordable. 100 dirham (9 euro) seems to be the standard price for a hotel room in the cities, but it is easy to find cheaper. The YHA hostel in Marrakech is 70 dirham/night, and is clean and comfortable, if a bit hard to find. If you feel like spending more, 200 dirham, roughly the price of a hostel bunk in Europe, will get you a nice Moroccan B&B room with dinner and breakfast included. It is unusual to haggle for the price at hotel reception, but when someone approaches you on the street and invites you to a hotel, you can negotiate for a lower price. In [[Fes]], a sleeping place on comfy mattresses piled on top of one another on the (covered) roof veranda of Hotel Cascade, in the medina, costs 40 dirham or 4 euro (February 2011 price, may have gone up and is probably more expensive in the high season). In [[Chefchaouen]], a bed in Pension Ibn Batouta cost 3 euro per night. |food=Food is also very cheap. The staple of the Moroccan diet is their white, circular loaves of bread, which can be as cheap as 5 dirham -- practically free! Cookies, cheese, sandwich meat and tinned sardines can also be purchased from little corner shops for very little; this will be your diet if you're really trying to save money. Restaurant meals in a touristic city range from 40-50dh (4-5 euro). In towns outside the tourist route you can get bread, salad, meat tagine, and a drink for 30dh. Restaurant food can often be very bad, so you should also try the street food in the cities; kebab meat fried with onions on a bun for 10dh, or a delicious handmade donut for 5dh. |connectivity=Internet cafes are easy to find in cities, and there is usually one in large towns.

You might feel a little uncomfortable if you've never haggled before, but keep in mind that for them it is normal and expected -- and they are very good at it. The most important tip to remember is *don't let them know you're interested*. Even if you want or need an item, look at it with lazy eyes, look at other items in the shop, then eventually come back to it and casually make an offer. Bear in mind, however, that tourism is a staple of many Moroccan's livelihoods, and most shopkeepers in medinas barely make enough to feed and clothe their families. 20 dirham probably isn't much to you, but it is a lot to them. It is not the custom to haggle for food, even in shops. }} '''[[Fes]]''' - The old quarter of Fes is one of the best preserved medinas in the Arabic world. The ancient leather tanning vats are a popular destination. As you try to enter people will tell you there is an admission fee -- this is NOT true;the vats are a public area, just push past the hustlers. '''[[Essaouira]]''' - A very chilled out beach town in the south. The medina is small, but cleaner (only slightly) and quieter than what you find everywhere else. It is often said on online forums that you can just pitch your tent on the beach in Essaouira. I hate to speak ill of what is a very friendly, pleasant city, but the fact is that some pretty unsavoury characters sometimes walk the beach at night. You're better off camping in the thick bushes and trees a few hundred meters behind the beach. '''[[Chefchaouen]]''' - The goat's horns, a small city up in the Rif mountains, founded by Jews expelled from Spain after the Reconquista. Painted blue, laid-back, some hustlers(harmless, even though they can be annoying) trying to sell you hash. '''[[Ouarzazate]]''' A fairly uninteresting city in itself, but friendly and clean, Oarzazate is the biggest city on the Saharan side of the atlas, and the hub for tours to Erg Chebbi, Erg Chigaga, the Dades and Todra gorges, and Ait Benhaddou. If you want to camp, walk about 2km west along the main highway, and find a hidden spot in the farms and orchards that line the road. Workers are usually out there until dusk, so either ask their permission or wait till they're gone.

'''[[Fes]]''' - The old quarter of Fes is one of the best preserved medinas in the Arabic world. The ancient leather tanning vats are a popular destination. As you try to enter people will tell you there is an admission fee -- this is NOT true;the vats are a public area, just push past the hustlers. '''[[Essaouira]]''' - A very chilled out beach town in the south. The medina is small, but cleaner (only slightly) and quieter than what you find everywhere else. It is often said on online forums that you can just pitch your tent on the beach in Essaouira. I hate to speak ill of what is a very friendly, pleasant city, but the fact is that some pretty unsavoury characters sometimes walk the beach at night. You're better off camping in the thick bushes and trees a few hundred meters behind the beach. '''[[Chefchaouen]]''' - The goat's horns, a small city up in the Rif mountains, founded by Jews expelled from Spain after the Reconquista. Painted blue, laid-back, some hustlers(harmless, even though they can be annoying) trying to sell you hash. '''[[Ouarzazate]]''' A fairly uninteresting city in itself, but friendly and clean, Oarzazate is the biggest city on the Saharan side of the atlas, and the hub for tours to Erg Chebbi, Erg Chigaga, the Dades and Todra gorges, and Ait Benhaddou. If you want to camp, walk about 2km west along the main highway, and find a hidden spot in the farms and orchards that line the road. Workers are usually out there until dusk, so either ask their permission or wait till they're gone.

Moroccans use the index finger instead of the thumb. The only problem is that about half the time people expect payment. Usually it's easy to tell if someone is expecting money, but if you want to be sure, tell them you can't pay before you get in the vehicle. 10 dirham is usually enough for rides under half an hour, 20dh for an hour or more. A rather filthy trick is to only flag down new-looking cars. These will usually be middle class Moroccans from the northern cities who will not expect payment, or European tourists with rental cars who will often speak English and even buy you lunch. Another thing you'll have to endure while hitchhiking is taxis stopping and trying to lure you inside. You'll get used to shouting "Non, merci!" and giving them a lazy wave. === [[Taxis]] === Taxis are the most popular method of transport. I hardly ever used them so I don't know about prices; please edit this section if you have experience. Always try to get a shared cab; they can be extremely cheap since the driver will try to cram in as many people as he can possibly fit. Always agree on a price BEFORE getting in the vehicle. Taxis to and from airports are usually complete rip-offs. From the Marrakech airport to the city they will try to shake you down for 50 to 100dh; a fair price would be 10-20. === [[Buses]] === Buses are by far the best and cheapest way to get long distances, and are more comfortable and often faster than trains. The only problem is it is easy to get ripped off. The rule for buying bus tickets is to only buy from the driver, or from someone behind a desk. People stand around bus stations preying on people unfamiliar with the bus system. Ignore them; even if they aren't successful at overcharging you, they will expect a tip. To know if you're being cheated you should know typical prices. Depending on the bus company, you should be charged 20-30 dirham per hour. So if they ask for 100dh, the bus ride had better be several hours long. They will usually charge you 10 dirham extra for your baggage. Sometimes this is legitemate, sometimes not. Marrakech’s main bus station is notorious for hustlers. A better station is just around the corner from the YHA hostel, near the French consulate. === [[Trains]] === Moroccans say that they are dirty, uncomfortable, and excruciatingly slow, since they stop at every tiny village. They are a good way to get to the Casablanca airport from the city. Check http://www.oncf.ma/ for more information. |accommodation=Accommodation is very affordable. 100 dirham (9 euro) seems to be the standard price for a hotel room in the cities, but it is easy to find cheaper. The YHA hostel in Marrakech is 70 dirham/night, and is clean and comfortable, if a bit hard to find. If you feel like spending more, 200 dirham, roughly the price of a hostel bunk in Europe, will get you a nice Moroccan B&B room with dinner and breakfast included. It is unusual to haggle for the price at hotel reception, but when someone approaches you on the street and invites you to a hotel, you can negotiate for a lower price. In [[Fes]], a sleeping place on comfy mattresses piled on top of one another on the (covered) roof veranda of Hotel Cascade, in the medina, costs 40 dirham or 4 euro (February 2011 price, may have gone up and is probably more expensive in the high season). In [[Chefchaouen]], a bed in Pension Ibn Batouta cost 3 euro per night. |food=Food is also very cheap. The staple of the Moroccan diet is their white, circular loaves of bread, which can be as cheap as 5 dirham -- practically free! Cookies, cheese, sandwich meat and tinned sardines can also be purchased from little corner shops for very little; this will be your diet if you're really trying to save money. Restaurant meals in a touristic city range from 40-50dh (4-5 euro). In towns outside the tourist route you can get bread, salad, meat tagine, and a drink for 30dh. Restaurant food can often be very bad, so you should also try the street food in the cities; kebab meat fried with onions on a bun for 10dh, or a delicious handmade donut for 5dh. |connectivity=Internet cafes are easy to find in cities, and there is usually one in large towns. Visit the botanic gardens in Marrakech for free access to the touch-screen internet kiosks. Mobile phone coverage across the country is reasonably good. |Overview=Morocco is a wonderful place to be a nomad.

Visa rules are in a constant state of flux, but visas for extended stays are generally very difficult to obtain with local contacts. ===Visa On Arrival=== Getting a visa for Bangladesh on arrival (a.k.a. ''landing permit'') at the International Airport in Dhaka may be possible, but this method is not recommended and should not be relied upon without clear investigation in advance. If available, they tend to be only for a short time (e.g. 14 days) and to be more expensive than a visa obtained in advance. ===Tourist Visas=== Single-entry tourist visas are generally available for 1-2 months stays. These are sometimes available in nearby countries, though this changes so up to date information is needed to prevent mishap. The simplest place to get a visa is in your home country (if an embassy is available). Many embassies accept postal applications, which may be easiest. Although not a well publicised possibility, once you are in [[Dhaka]], it is often possible to extend tourist visas for a total of up to 3 months - and if you with to try this, the sooner you do this the better. Passport holders of most countries find it difficult to stay in Bangladesh for more than 3 months with a Tourist (T) visa. Seek advice from local contacts about this possibility. ===Other Visa Classes=== Bangladeshi visas have different classes, issued by different branches of the Bangladesh government and governed by different regulations. Generally, this need not concern the tourist, whose options will be limited to a 'T' (tourist) visa. Users of other visas will probably not be responsible for their own visas anyway. For example, if you are traveling to Bangladesh for employment in the educational sector, an 'E' visa is applicable, in which case your employer should be able to sort this out for you. ====Changing Classes==== Changing visa classes is problematic. For example, if you arrive with a 'T' visa, it is difficult to replace this with an 'E' visa. Generally, it is easier to leave the country and re-enter with an 'E' visa. Often this will entail a trip back to your home country, bearing requisite proof of employment or other supporting documentation for presentation at the embassy. ===Overstaying=== Overstaying your visa in Bangladesh can be an expensive business (a daily charge is applied), and may well prevent you from re-entering the country. To prevent problems, be aware of the possibility of disturbances such as hartals or random office closures and bear this in mind when scheduling travel. ---- [[Dhaka]] is the capital of [[Bangladesh]], and the only place it is ''possible'' to extend your visa for that country.

It derives its name from its hot sulphur springs. It's free (unattended, hence with some trash around), used by the locals, water 42c. Possible to free camp. Place is 12km from Lamia, behind the gas station on the way to the Thermopylea battle monument. ==[[Italy]]== ===Bagni di San Filippo=== San Filippo is a tiny village in [[Tuscany]], south of [[Siena]] with natural wild hot springs. By car it can only be entered via one road, and the path to the hotsprings is closely after the first building. There´s a sign saying "Fosso Bianco" and leads to a small river, that you have to follow up for 100m. There are several flat spots where you can put a tent as well as a small cave for up to maybe 5 snuggly people. To find the cave you have to follow a small path uphill to the right when you're standing right infront of the hot spring pools. In the cave there are blankets stored in plastic bags, a tarp and a little fireplace. To get drinking water you follow the street downhill to the little chapel. On the little square infront of it is a public fresh water spring. There´s no foodstore in the village. ==[[Spain]]== ===[[Valencia]]=== There are some breathtaking uncommercialised natural hot springs near Valencia where you can swim all year round. Access is not easy because the hot springs are located in a mountainous and rural area. The area/village is called Montanejos, and it is about 90km north of Valencia. =[[Stay safe]]= Know the maximum temperature of the hot spring you're planning to enter. Most commercially-developed springs are diluted with cool water so that their temperatures are similar to those of residential "hot tubs," i.e., a maximum of about 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43 degrees Centigrade). "Wild" springs, however, can have effluent temperatures far greater than this, indeed, far greater than what is safe. Temperatures as high as about 160 F (70 C) are common in hot springs, and some reach the boiling point; immersion in water this hot can prove fatal very quickly. A little dilution with surface water will go a long way, but be conservative unless you know the spring well. Many wild springs are gathering places for wildlife. Know what kind of animals might frequent the area of the spring, and be prepared for a greater than average likelihood of wildlife encounters. Thriller movies notwithstanding, very few of the world's hot springs are acidic enough to pose an immediate safety hazard, although many are acidic to some extent.

You have to go from the main road down towards the river. Just next to the river there is a small brick construction and the hot springs are inside it. You can ask locals about it if you get really lost but should be okay. Paths should be obvious. There is also a small bridge nearby for crossing the water. You don't need to cross it, just mentioned it for orientation purposes. ===Plan de Phazy=== Heard this is a nice free place.

Place is 12km from Lamia, behind the gas station on the way to the Thermopylea battle monument. ===Kaiafa=== This places costs money during summertime but in the winter and maybe other months also it is closed down and unstaffed. It's basically a kind of cliff cave thing with a fence around it. You can easily jump over the fence in the winter and go in the hot springs for free :) Easy free camping nearby near the lake. Yeah there is also a nice lake nearby. The place also has working cold showers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_Springs_of_Kaiafa ==[[Italy]]== ===Bagni di San Filippo=== San Filippo is a tiny village in [[Tuscany]], south of [[Siena]] with natural wild hot springs.

There´s no foodstore in the village. ===Benetutti/Bultei=== Benetutti is a small village in [[Sardinia]], north-west of [[Nuoro]] quite close to two natural open hot spring baths, contended and claimed also by the nearby village of Bultei.. By car you should arrive on the SP86 starting from Nuoro or Macomer then take the junction towards Benetutti, the hotsprings are quite hidden and difficult to reach if you don't know the exact position though you can just ask anybody around (e.g. your driver if you are hitchhiking) they will easily show you the way. The water is sulphureous and quite warm, you'll hardly resist more than 15-20 minutes, and there will often be a kind of queue (unspoken rule to use the baths one person at a time) of people, still very few, at any hour of day and night. Keep the place clean, of course. Both places are quite in the middle of nowhere but hitch to nearby cities and village shouldn't be hard. You can definitely wild camp among cows. ==[[Mongolia]]== ===Haluun us=== An abandoned hot spring spa resort with the hot tubs still working and one hut that is still really clean, with two couches that can be turned into double beds. Near Chuluut. Not much traffic though, had to walk more than half of the 40km from the main road to get in and out. I found out about it because my map has markers for hot springs, and these ones had no info about them on the Internet, so I just hoped they were free. To get there from the mainroad from Tsetserleg to Tosontsengel, or from Chuluut, you just need to follow the electric poles, they will split at Haluun us, a little hamlet, one line going straight on, the other to the former resort. ==[[New Zealand]]== There are many hot springs scattered about both the north and south islands of New Zealand. While some of these have been developed into commercial tourist centres there are also many small natural hot springs that can be enjoyed for free. There is a good user-updated website listing these hot springs: http://www.nzhotpools.co.nz/ ==[[Spain]]== ===[[Valencia]]=== There are some breathtaking uncommercialised natural hot springs near Valencia where you can swim all year round. Access is not easy because the hot springs are located in a mountainous and rural area. The area/village is called Montanejos, and it is about 90km north of Valencia.

Jerusalem's status is under dispute between [[Israel]] and the [[West Bank|Palestinians]]. The Palestinians have claims to the city including a claim to be their capital city. The main area where all the tourists are going is the old town, surrounded by big medieval wall. It's a very nice place to see, to get lost in the small street, see crazy historical places, but one can get very fast annoyed by the tourists and the religious fanatics. A good idea to be in peace could be to climb one of the roof to see the city from high, try random stairwells until it works. One of the main attraction is the mount temple, it's the second holiest places for Muslims (after Mecca). It's a big temple on a big square with trees, some years ago the kingdom of Jordan offered gold to cover the temple, it's very beautiful. The problem is that it's forbidden for none Muslims during the prayers hours, and only the entrance from the Western wall is allowed for non tourists. If you get tired of the old city there are many different things to do, like going to the Arabic side and eat a cheap falafel. You can also go to the Yehuda Market, during day time it's nice a colourful market, and at night time many bars open and young people come to play music. You can also have a walk in the Nachlaot neighbourhood just next to it, where it's nice to get lost in small streets. Jerusalem is young and lively city, try to checkout events, concerts, festivals ... |transport=[[Hitchhiking]] inside the city is possible to some extent. Try it it's really cool when it works. The orthodox Jews are doing it all the time. === Public Transportation === There are different systems. There is one line of tramway that goes through the cities, it links for example the old city and the Yehuda market. It is also quite convenient to go hitchhiking outside of the city. It is possible to blackride, there are two techniques. Technique one is to buy a ticket and since the machine to punch the tickets is inside, you can punch it only if you see a controller coming and nothing can happen. The second technique is the old school one, just check out at every stops that there is no controllers (easy to spot), if there is one fly out of the tramway. [[Blackriding]] is not possible in buses, because you have to pass by the driver as you enter. On the tram it is possible, but keep in mind there are quite a lot of checkups (maybe as much as once every 5 rides, or so). Inspectors wear white buttoned shirts in summer, sometimes with a yellow reflector vest on top, and dark blue coats in winter. They come in twos or threes, and are usually quite strict. As of September 2013, there are no "undercover"/plainclothes inspectors. Single tram tickets are only valid for the day you bought them. There is a 90-minute transfer time for public transport in Jerusalem- that's the tram and the green buses. If you bought and used a ticket, and will not use it again within the 90-minute time, why not give it away to somebody in the tram/bus stop? Random kindness to strangers is always good. If you plan on using public transport often, better use the electronic card. Charging rides on an electronic card gets you 20% off for single rides (for a ride you pay 80% of the price of a single ticket-ride), alternatively using the electronic card you can also purchase a daily-pass ׂ(13.5 NIS, just over the price of 2 single tickets) or weekly-pass (64 NIS, just over the price of 10 single tickets). Electronic cards. which are called "Rav Kav", are sold on most buses for 5 NIS. There's no public transport in Jerusalem from about 2 hours before dark on Friday evening to 1 hour after dark on Saturday night or during Jewish holidays. However, buses that serve Arab neighborhoods in east Jerusalem keep running regularly. |accommodation=[Hospitality exchange] should work. You can wild camp in a corner of the big Gan Saker park, not far from the university. There are also some parks closer to the city center but there are some weird people sometimes, it might be better to avoid them. === Free hospitality === In projects such as [http://www.bewelcome.org BeWelcome] and [http://www.couchsurfing.com CouchSurfing] you can find many Jerusalemic members who will host you for a night or two in their homes... === Hostels and cheap accommodation === As a rule of thumb, the Western part of the city is much (much!) more expensive than the Eastern part, especially when it comes to hostels. In the old city and around Damascus gate you can find a dorm bed for as little as 20 NIS (4 Euro) for a night. Check [http://www.wikivoyage.org Wikivoyage] for more details. === Camping === A good place to camp close to the city center is Sacher Park. It's big enough to camp without being noticed, and even if you are noticed there's a good chance nobody cares.

All you need is a Credit/Debit card and you can register online. Each first hour of use is free and you have to lock it again for at least 5 minutes before you can use it again. Some bikes stations are far off the center and not so far from the hitchhiking spots so it is a good alternative to get there instead of paying for the local bus. (May 2017) * '''Public Transport:''' The city buses are most common way getting around the city To ride buses in Ljubljana, you now need a card, even if you just use it once. The name is Urbana card and the cost is 2 euros. Be careful when using the vending machine, as they do not give change if you have a higher bill. (Probably outdated: [[blackriding]] is easy. When you enter the bus, just lay your wallet on the scanner and go forward. The driver won't really care about you but if he will say anything or yell after you, ignore him. The drivers usually don't speak English so even if you talk to him he won't understand you and leave you alone. This is also commonly practised by the locals. |accommodation=It might be possible to sleep in the locker room of the train station, a policeman just comes in the morning saying "Wake up", but on occasion security people have entered and told that it's not possible to sleep there. ===Wild camping=== * Don't try putting up a tent in the city parks because you can get a fine from the police. You could try only with sleeping bag, though. * It is possible to put a tent in the upside part of Tivoli park which is half an hour walking from the city centre. It is not so flat terrain, but if you search well you should find nice spots, clean, safe and quiet. Checked in September 2015 * You could try sleeping at lawn in [[w:Metelkova Metelkova]], but be aware, there are some bars around so it will be noisy and at night and people go to pee to the lawn (where you sleep). * Under the main square bridge. (See [http://www.nomadtravellers.com/backpacking/107-photo-stories/264-free-accommodation-places-sleeping-for-free #5]) * near the Sava River, it's a bit far from the train station, but it's unlikely that anyone will bother you. Take bus 19/19B till the north end "Tomacevo" and then take the road that goes down and turn right, you should get out of the city and pass by some farms and there you have the river where you can even swim if you have the bravery. ===Sleeping in the train cars=== In the winter it's not hard to find homeless locals asking for food and money or selling magazines around the city. When you find one, try to establish a friendship (most of them are well educated so English is not a problem with them) with him/her and explain what you are doing. If you are lucky enough he/she will invite you to spend a night with other homeless locals in the warm train car. ===Hostels=== There is a nice hostel called Vila Veselova |bewelcome-link=http://www.bewelcome.org/places/Slovenia/SI/Ljubljana/61/Ljubljana/3196359 |food=Cheap food can be found mostly in fast food stands. The most popular in the city are "Nobel burek" or "Fast food Nobel" and "Ajda burger". All of them are open 24/7 and don't have extra charges in the night. There is a market from Monday to Saturday at southern bank of river (vodnikov trg). It closes between 16:00 and 17:00 and there is always a lot of fruit and vegetables after the vendors. >> better check Trashwiki ! There is "Pizza Burek" which is a speciality from there, and a local made us taste the best seller in town, located in the Prazakova Ulica near the Bavarski Dvor bus station, for eur 2.30, it not the cheapest, but it's really really good. It's quarter a pizza with mushrooms, and lot of things in it, but you should definitely try it ! ''Note: The place is called Olimpia burek, if you are asking the locals.'' ''Note 2: You can buy burek almost anywhere, in special fast food joints and almost every bakery (pekarna). It's questionable which is "the best seller in town".'' |connectivity=There is free "Wifi Ljubljana" everywhere in the center that you can request a code for by using your mobile phone number. Foreign numbers work fine as well. Most of the coffee places also provide free wifi. Additionally, At the back of the train station, right before the tracks, there is a tourist information computer which can be used for free internet surfing by clicking in the search tab, typing what your looking for, and finding it in the results (there is no URL bar provided). You can also go to the Faculty of Arts (Slov. ''Filozofska fakulteta'' or ''Filofaks'') which is on Aškerčeva 2. There are computers on the left and right on the ground floor but there are more in the basement. They don't have a password. They also have coffee machines were you can get a coffee (kava) for eur 0.25. (Nov 2010). Computers are Linux based and just for web browsing, but on every floor at the end of the long hallway. Faculty is closed on Sundays, possibly also during the summer recess (2nd half of July, August) (Jun 2017). Another option is the Slovene National and University Library (Slov. abbr. ''NUK''), Turjaška ulica 1, also a prominent landmark so every local/guide should know where it is. Computers are free to access and use on the ground floor, to the left and right of the grand staircase. Windows based with a web browser and also an Office suite. Open Mon-Fri 8.00-20.00, Sat 9.00-13.00, Sun closed, possible shorter opening times during summer.

Traveling inside London takes much longer than reaching it from outside, especially during rush hour. === Public Transport === ''See [[Transport for London]].'' Distances inside London are huge, so it's quite probable you'll be using public transport inside the city (if you manage to navigate inside London by hitchhiking, please tell us about it!) * If you're not just going in and out, '''get an Oyster card''' - it's much cheaper and you can use it for any public transport (even river buses!). The information [http://https://tfl.gov.uk/ TFL] provides is very extensive; [http://tfl.gov.uk/fares-and-payments/fares/single-fare-finder?intcmp=1660 Here] is where you can find the fare between any two places. * '''Traveling cheap:''' Public transport prices can be high and depends on the zones between which you're traveling, day of the week and time in the day. You can try to get as close to your zone as possible (distance is not important - only zone numbers matter). E.g if you're going to Bethnal Green in zone 2, it would be better to reach zones 1 or 3 than 4 or 5. Use [http://content.tfl.gov.uk/london-rail-and-tube-services-map.pdf this map] or search the station to see which zone it's in. A bus (or tram) will always be cheaper than other transport (they have a fixed price of £1.5, and your second ride within an hour is free). * '''Planning journeys:''' Use the Citymapper app - it usually works better than Google Maps and also shows prices. * '''Negative balance''': If you don't have enough money on your Oyster for the next ride, you can still take the Tube/train - as long as you have ''some'' amount of money, you'll be able to pass, but will end up with a negative balance. If you're leaving London, this probably doesn't matter, so you don't have to bother charging for your last ride. Keep in mind that the train system is separate from the Tube/Overground/DLR, so if you're taking the Tube and then the train, you need to have a positive balance upon leaving the Tube. * '''Megabus''' have cheap services to several cities around the UK - in some cases it might be cheaper to use these than to get to/from the hitchhiking spot outside the city (unless you're willing to walk for several hours). |accommodation=There are several options when it comes to finding a place to sleep. If the worst prevails and you're without a place, you're still not too bad off. Central London is relatively safe and you probably wont be bothered sleeping outside. === Wild [[Camping]] === Its quite possible to sleep out in London in considerable privacy despite its gigantic population of 10 million. Go North East to Trent Park (Picadilly Line North, second to last stop before Cockfosters - i.e. Oakwood Station). Find the directions for the university (Middlesex) campus and walk (or take the free bus) up the hill. Beside it and beyond the lake are quite a few miles of woodland and and it is incredibly beautiful. Someone lived here for 7 months during his final year of university. Be careful with park wardens, they eventually discovered him during the last few weeks of his studies. Build camouflage from ferns if staying for long. People are unlikely to be your greatest threat...dogs are. Dogs! A lot of people walk them here but you can find amazing places if you search hard enough. And if you search really really hard, you'll find a tree with the dates of the past dweller's residence...;) Also, outside this station (Trent Park), there is a Greek Bakery. Behind it lie huge sacks of bread every night. Please go. Its crazy that this could possibly be wasted every night. === Squatting === London used to have an abundance of [[squat]]s, but it has recently become more difficult. While it is still legal to squat commercial property (warehouses, offices, shops), it is illegal to squat residential buildings (if you admit you are doing this to the cops, you might be sentenced to jail time.) There are still a good couple of squats all around London. Most squats are places where people live and go about their normal business, so don't expect too much from them. Perhaps it would be good to find some friendly squatters by word of mouth or on [http://www.couchsurfing.com couchsurfing] or similar. Don't worry about the negative connotations associated with squats. They generally aren't crackhouses or scabies-infested punk hangouts. People of all types squat in London and their homes are usually very nice. They are especially helpful if you're planning to stick around for a while, but can also be great if you're just passing through. Resources * For all information on squatting in the UK: the '''[http://www.squatter.org.uk/ Advisory Service for Squatters]''' is helpful for people that are planning to find a place to live and cannot really help you find a place to crash. It's located at the Freedom Bookstore in Whitechapel and is another great place to meet squatters as well as get online for free. The address is Angel Alley, 84b Whitechapel High Street, Whitechapel, London, England, E1 7QX. (Tel. 020-32160099) * There are still some remnants of squatting communities in North London, North East London, and South London. If you want to meet some people, go to the [http://www.squatter.org.uk/for-new-squatters/practical-squatting-nights/ practical squatting nights] taking place every week (alternating). * For more info on social centers in London, check out [http://www.socialcentresnetwork.org.uk/ Autonomous London]. Generally though, it has become harder to track squats down or just pop up, as there are fewer, and more and more evictions, which means less space. This should in no way discourage you, however! There is a strong community of squatters especially in the north east of London where a new group has been set for resistance and solidarity. * The North East London Squatters Network are having meetings every month as well as a mailing list etc... For more info, get in touch with the '''[http://www.hackneysocialcentre.blogspot.com/ Hackney Social Centre]''' .. (unfortunately this has now been evicted). * '''[http://www.rampart.co.nr/ rampART]''' is a squatted social center in [[Whitechapel]], east London. This place isn't a residential squat, but they do have a "crash room" for visitors. They make it clear that it is not a tourist hostel so you needn't bother them unless you are interested in getting involved with their project for some time while you're there. To stay, you need to contact them well ahead of time. If nothing else, it's a great place to meet squatters and find a place to stay. They also have free internet! (As of last month rampART was evicted by the [[police]] and is no more.) Interestingly, the new place at Bowl Court Road that was squatted a few months ago has already been evicted (August 2008). * The '''[http://www.squatter.org.uk/ Advisory Service for Squatters]''' is helpful for people that are planning to find a place to live and cannot really help you find a place to crash.

Expect to queue for 30 minutes, arrive early to guarantee a fill - the food does run out. Otherwise... In the UK, the term for eating food that would otherwise be thrown away, is called skipping. Lots of people do it, all from people that come from poor countries and see all the food that goes to waist, to people that are political in there way of living. Many people, especially in the squat scene live totally out of food from the bins... See Trashwiki for good place to skip. === Cheap === If you're going to self cater, stick to '''Sainsbury's''' and '''Tesco''' rather than the convenient Off-Licenses for better prices. If you are a bit out of Central London, you might as well look for '''Lidl''', '''Morrisons''', '''Netto''' or '''Asda'''.

The recent and inevitable economic downturn has made the people a bit more accommodating and brotherly again. However, Ireland remains an expensive country. Dublin is the capital city and main point of ferry and flight entry. The two main languages spoken in Ireland are Irish and English. Irish is a minority but official language, whilst everyone can speak English. * [http://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/travel/ireland-s-10-best-parks-for-adventure-and-activity-1.2617470 Ireland’s 10 best parks] for adventure and activity.

Bus, DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transport), and LUAS a new tramway with two lines. The buses in Dublin have two floors, like in London. There are a lot of lines, and they are really useful. Usually they are running from 6:00 to 23:00. There are two different way for paying the bus. You can pay directly the bus driver, you have to pay for the ride from 1,4€ to 2.65€, you have to pay with coins, and you can't get the change. There is also a ticket for very short ride in city center for 0.6€. The second way to pay is to buy day ticket, you can get it in a lot of shops and kiosks in the city. One day ticket is 6,9€, one day family ticket is 11,9€ (2 alduts, 4 children), one five days ticket is 23€, and one 3 days ticket is 14,2€. It is easy to go in the bus without paying. The machine where you have to check with your day ticket is not in the front of the driver. What you can do is just get an old ticket, and do as it was a valid ticket, it sounds different and there is a red light instead of green or orange, but usually nobody notice. You can also try to pass without checking any ticket, it also work. It seems that the worst that can happen to you is the driver kick you off the bus. Website : http://www.dublinbus.ie/. The DART only have one coast line. From Greystone to Malahide. It is a nice journey. For example the journey from Connolly to Malahide is 2,5€. And there are also tickets for one, three, and five days. Website : http://www.dublin.ie/transport/dart.htm |food=In Ireland, almost everything is more expensive in the supermarket than in continental Europe. But you can get a good meal in a snack or a pub starting at 5€. Dumbsterdiving is known to be easy. And getting vegetables and fruit at the end of the market is easy too. |connectivity=You can find free wifi spot in a lot of shops or bars in the city center. There is also free wifi in some bus. }} == Seomra Spraoi == Many of Dublin's freegans hang out in Seomra Spraoi, an autonomous social centre near Mountjoy Square in the city centre. If you come to Seomra on a Wednesday evening (food is served at 7:30), there's a vegan café there and you should be able to meet them and hopefully arrange to go skipping with them sometime. You may also be interested in the bike workshop at Seomra, which is also open on Wednesday evenings. It is well equipped with tools and expertise and it's a great way to learn how to look after your own bike. In particular, it's handy for fixing up any abandoned bicycles you might happen to come across. Seomra also has a decently-sized freeshop upstairs, which is open whenever Seomra is open. It is particularly good for clothes. The website says that it's usually open from Monday to Thursday from 6 to 10pm. http://seomraspraoi.org/ [[hitch:Dublin]] [[trash:Dublin]] mqkkbob471izhdxpaphgqhjrf0fqqys 0 191 686 2013-11-24T13:16:56Z Guaka 1 Created page with "There are some exceptions but '''connectivity''' is very important to modern day nomads.

A lot of festivals, like music festival, are based on the work of volunteers. Most of the work is done by them: serve beers or [[food]], cook food, build stage/toilets/everything, carry a lot of stuff, help for communication/organization, feed the artists and others volunteers, clean, help people to park theirs cars and on and on. Usually when you are [[volunteering]] in a music festival, you will get food, accommodation (a place to put your tent), beers, and you can see some of the shows. You usually don't work all the duration of the festival, but you switch with others volunteers, so you can have a rest and enjoy the festival. Volunteering in festival is really fun, you can meet a lot of interesting people, and you don't spend money. It's harder to find a volunteer job in big festival, and the work is usually less fun. You feel more implicated in little ones. Most of the festival take place during summer. If the people who are attending the festival are not sleeping on site, you might not get an accomodation, ask the organizer, usually they will find a place where you can sleep. ==Festivals known to take volunteers== ===France=== *[http://www.rocktambule.com/ Rocktambule], Grenoble.

It doesn't appear on internet, but it exists. And there, it's possible to get a visa, in 3 hours, without any problems, without any questions. It worked for at some people: French, Belgian, German, and maybe others. It may be worth to ask there. About the Visa Application in Trabzon, Turkey : there is no need to ask a number at iranianvisa (which is some kind of legal scam). In Trabzon consulate, they ONLY want 2 photos, 60 euros, fill the 2 forms... That is ALL. No application number, no letter of recommandation, no hotel reservation... If they ask you where you go, you can tell the bigest cities, Tabriz, Tehran, etc. If they ask you how you will travel, just tell you go in those city then take a plane back or to the next country you already have a visa. {{no-israeli-stamp}} }} p2m9dcf5mxy049vhiaeha9ykujl4ud2 698 697 2018-03-07T14:37:53Z imported>Isa kayo 0 adding interfamily links 698 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Country |introduction='''Iran''' is a country in the [[Middle East]] in western [[Asia]]. |transport=[[File:Hitchin_out_of_Tabriz_direction_south.jpeg|200px|thumb|left|Hitchhiking out of [[Tabriz]] south towards [[Hamadan]] and Kurdish region.]] Public transport in Iran is very cheap.

While [[User:FedeDC|Fede]] was hitchhiking out of [[Tehran]] with a panel saying "no taxis, no shared taxis, no buses" he had been approached by a very kind man who tried to explain him that "there are no trains nor planes here, where are you going? Esfahan? The airport is that way...". |accommodation=Even though hotels are generally cheaper than Europe and [[Turkey]] they are still not so cheap as [[India]] or South East Asia. Iranian hospitality will surely surprise you. Almost anyone will welcome you at their house, old, young, men, women, no matter who, iranians have a deep sense of hospitality and will treat you as a king wihtout either have the possibility to spend a cent. Food, sleep transport, even if they earn in one day less than what you can easily earn in one hour in Europe they will insist to invite and pay you everything; up to the local bus drivers and internet cafes holders. Finding a place to sleep in Iran is generally as easy as knocking the first door you come across. If you get tired of the unrelenting hospitality however, the city parks offer an excellent alternative. Many parks, even in big cities, are designated as camping zones, with toilets open all night, sometimes also shower and wifi. Camp fires are tolerated, but it's best to ask before. These parks are called '''park muzaafer (پرك مسافر)''', which translates to traveller's park. Though in some cities (e.g. [[Hamedan]]) there are clear panels showing "forbidden camping" and policedo come to unset tents (often used as nest by couples young or not); arriving late at night and setting off the tent early in the morning you will avoid any annoyance for sure. Sleeping in mosques is also possible, even though you should ask for permission beforehand. In this case, make sure you respect the segregation of sexes when travelling as a couple. [[User:Harveypekar|Harveypekar]] slept in a mosque close to Mesr, only to overhear the Imam the next morning, explaining other travellers that it's impossible to sleep in the mosque. The imam was friendly enough though to show the other group the other side, as to leave him sleep his fill. It is possible to camp in the deserts as well, but be sure you cannot be seen from the road to prevent attention from the authorities. They can send you to jail for being on some site you're not allowed to be on. Note that while the desert might be dazzling hot during the day, it can get '''extremely cold''' at night, so be sure to take some extra clothes with you for the night! |bewelcome-link=http://www.bewelcome.org/places/Iran/IR |food=It is extremely cheap in Iran. With the equivalent of 1€ you can eat good (at cheap places, not fancy restaurants) for the whole day. A five star restaurant on the top of a skyscraper in Tehran won´t cost you more than 5€...guaranteed!! You will also be invited nearly anywhere to eat for free by whoever.. |connectivity=Wi-fi is really not much spread but you will find many cheap internet cafes, which sometimes will also insist in inviting you and not letting you pay. Some parks have free wifi, see ''Accommodation''. |busking=Not probably a good idea.. At least in the western style and vision of it. The currency first of all is that cheap that an average good iranian working day pays around a low/average european working hour, which can mean, a good european busking 15minutes..having this in mind is not really comfortable saying you have no money.. It is not clear whether busking is forbidden or allowed by law, but for sure it is not something very common and might easily call unwanted attentions. You won't probably have much troubles with police being a foreigner, though could be better avoid it. Better keep your music, juggling or any street gift for the dozens of kind host who will invite you. |visa={{no-israeli-stamp}} '''late 2016:''' I got an invitation code within a week from key2persia, since I don't use Paypal they just offered me to pay afterward, once in Iran. In the application I left fields for airport and flight number blank and my travel schedule was only for the first week, without naming any hotels and still it worked.'' === Visa on arrival === Iran has a visa-on-arrival program for several countries, but only when arriving in an airport. Ask your favorite search engine and don't forget to leave your experience ''here''. ;-) Coming overland from anywhere else you'll need to get the visa beforehand in one of the iranian consulates (Ankara, Erzurum, Istanbul, Tbilisi, ...). Without MFA code/ invitation letter you'll be rejected however. Agencies like caravanistan.com or key2persia.com do this for you, costs about 30-40$ and takes a week or two. Or go to [[Batumi]]. You don't need any authorisation codes, and you get your passport back, with visa, in one hour. cost was 75 € for 30 days. ''"Sadly, I had to fly into Iran. I did not manage to get a visa in [[Yemen]] or in the [[United Arab Emirates]] beforehand (I stayed 7 days in [[Muscat]] until the embassies opened again; they told me at the Embassy of Iran that they can only issue for residents in contrast to what I have been told before). Flying into Iran is an option for people from some privileged countries. Larger airports in Iran can issue a 14 days transit visa on the spot. However, I guess this is not an issue as most people here will travel the other direction and will only start their journey when they have this visa (since this is the only visa Germans can not get at the border)."'' === from Armenia === '''Update July 2017:''' It seems that it is not possible to get VOA for Iran on Meghri border anymore. We tried that today and were refused. Soldiers at the Iranian side said it is impossible and we should get back to Yerevan and apply for it there. At least europeans get '''visa on arrival''' if coming from [[Armenia]]. Border towns are [[Meghri-Nordooz border crossing|Meghri and Nordooz]]. Border's open 24/7, but visa office closed on weekend (friday and thursday) and at night time, maybe they let you wait/ sleep in the customs building, there's a toilet and little shop. [http://caravanistan.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1247&p=9478#p9478 It may be closed at other times too.] Works '''without invitation letter'''/ tourist agency code! As of late 2016 prices are 75€ for single entry and 90€ for double entry, which leaves you with two times the full 30 days! In between take one of the [[ferries across the Persian Gulf]] ;-) ===Get a visa in [[Trabzon]], [[Turkey]]=== If you want to apply for the visa in [[Turkey]], as many people do, on the silk road, there are consulates in [[Ankara]], [[Istanbul]] and [[Erzurum]]. But according to many people who have done that, it can be a huge loss of time, waiting weeks, and sometimes being refused (even if you have already paid!). '''NOTE: The [[Trabzon]] fun is over! The MFA code/invitation letter is needed there as well now.''' As of March 2015, this information is probably not up-to-date anymore: There is an Iranian consulate in Trabzon, north-east of Turkey, where it's possible to get a visa without any problems (nor much questions), usually within the same working day, sometimes 3 hours, sometimes 3 days according to the mood of employees. It works for most of EU passport holders: French, Belgian, German, Italian and most probably plenty of others. The particularity of this consulate is that, contrary to the usual formal procedure they do not require the code normally necessary at iranian visa. They ONLY want 2 photos, 60€ (in 2012 were 75, 50 plus 25 of express procedure), 2 forms to be filled in and... That is ALL. (No application number, no letter of recommendation, no hotel reservation...) If they ask for your itinerary, you can sketch an approximate route between the biggest cities, Tabriz, Tehran, etc. If they ask you how you will travel, just tell you go in those city then take a plane back or to the next country you already have a visa.

Afternoon of friday the whole country literally stops - they close shops, head home, and practice their faith. The people are generally nice. History is in the water village - the old town of Brunei. You can experience the traditional cultural lifestyle there. You can take a boat there for B$1. Brunei is duty free. {{Country |transport=It's easy to hitchhike, no traffic, quiet, mass transport is efficient. |accommodation=Accommodation may be a bit pricey but they have a government owned hostel that doesn't really give a damn whether u pay or not, not to mention a pool where u can swim for a dollar. |food=You'll find shops there where you can get abnormally good meals for 1 brunei dollar. That's not gonna happen in Singapore. Basically cheap for a very rich nation. Nasi katok is traditional B$1 food and the famous ambuyat, a food like no other!

The other, a bit more risky and adrenalinic too consists in sneaking inside without being seen. The entrance is pretty surveilled so forget about passing behind someone with his ticket.

You can get a lot of attention and make enough money to look after yourself quite easily. Where: Most street performers vie for space on Istiklal Caddesi, starting from about halfway down until the end. You should find a spot a little way from the other performers, in front of a closed store or empty building. It is a pedestrian street with a lot of foot traffic, and people are used to performers. The police will never bother you, only (occasionally) civilian clothed police may tell you to stop. If this happens, co-operate with them, and then either wait for a while or move to another spot, or both.You can also play at Galata Tower, and some performers have been known to play on the boats that cross the Bosphorous. If you are staying on the Asian/Anatolian side, you can play in the neighbourhood around Kadikoy, especially on the pedestrian street called Bahariye, uphill from the statue of the bull. Also, in Bostancı, you can play on Bağdat Caddesi. In Şirinevler, you can play in the square next to the Metrobus station. What To Expect: Most experienced performers can average about 20 Turkish Lira an hour or more. On Istiklal Caddesi, there is a lot of noise. If you want to stand out, having some kind of drum or loud instrument, or a way to attract attention, is vital. During the evening is the best time to perform, however this is when there is the most competition. If you get moved on by the police, don’t let that discourage you. It happens rarely. }} [[visa:Istanbul]] [[hitch:Istanbul]] [[trash:Istanbul]] [[couch:Istanbul]] [[cash:Istanbul]] 46k4vb4hu641j5e3a8ay0u2uuutck0z 0 240 808 2014-01-05T00:56:43Z imported>Isa kayo 0 adding interfamily links 808 wikitext text/x-wiki {{City |country=Bulgaria |busking=There is a pedestrian street in the center of town called Ulitsa Knyaz Alexander which has many tourists and shoppers during the day.

It is located in the southeast of the country, at 44°25′57″N 26°06′14″E, on the banks of the Dâmbovița River, less than 60 km (37.3 mi) north of the Danube River and the Bulgarian border. ==Transport== -Subway: The quality depends on the line that you are riding; some has old vagons, while other has really good and shiny new everything, in the new trains they are usually two security guards. The price is: 5 lei for two rides,2.5 lei for one,you have group ticket for 3-4-5 persons entering in the same station but if you are going to stick around, I would recommend getting a 62 rides monthly ticket (it's 70 lei)All tickets with pictures here: http://www.metrorex.ro/travel_tickets_p1382-2. Blackriding is easy to jump inside, but difficult for not getting catch (every station has two/three security guys and one/two administrative staff, I never tried, but people told me that if the staff sees you going in without ticket (jumping, going behind someone, etc...) an alarm goes off). I've experienced in June 2015, that securities call after you, if they see you jumping over the gates, but they never run after you. Anyway, still try to wait until the subway is just arriving, to avoid any problems. -Tram/buses: Fast but not nice and clean. Easy to blackride, lots of people do it. I recommend to buy a ticket from the little houses outside the stations and just hang around the validating machine if you see someone asking for tickets. In case of get caught, talk english/native language, and they will let you go (most of the times). -Taxi: Is the most challenguing method for a foreign visitor. The usual price of the ride is 1,69 ron/km. If you are lucky, you get that much. But, an alarming number of visitors found themselves in situations that the taxi driver wanted to scam them; the methods can vary, either they turn off the counter (saying that it doesn't work, for example), add up some fees ( night fees, tourist route, etc...) or just want you to pay more than the price written in the side of the taxi. UBER works fine. == Accommodation & Wild Camping == You can find really nice hostels/hotels cheaply. From top of my head: -Funky chicken hostel near Gara de Nord is 6 euros per night. ==Connectivity== In most of cafes or bars you can find free wifi. Springtime, Starbucks and Mcdonals are the classic ones. Also, the metro has a wifi network free if you have contracted a determined provider. If you need to use internet, in the Cervantes Institue, in the library (first floor) there's always an open pc, just don't look too shaggy and respect everyone. == Shower & swiming == Add info pls ==Busking== Bucharest is a young and growing city and is becoming a popular destination. It is a great city for buskers, as they are well received, especially in the central older district of Lipscani. There is sometimes competition for space on the pedestrian streets nearby. If you want to hitchike to the SEASIDE (Constanta, Vama Veche, Mamaia), just take the Metro on the red line to the last station "Anghel Saligny" You will arrive right at the start of the highway, find a spot and go for it. As an average you won't stay more than 1.5 hours. If you want to go towards BRASOV you can take one of the buses that goes to "Aeroport Baneasa" and find a spot in that area, don't freeze just there. If you want to go towards PITESTI you can take one of the buses that goes to "Grup Scolar Auto" wich is on the "Iuliu Maniu" bulevard.

Day passes are a little more than 5 euro, and cover the whole transport system, buses, trams, metro, and area trains (Rodalies and [http://www.fgc.net/eng/index.asp FGC]). Single passes are for the metro only, and cost eur 2.00 The best deal is the T-10, which is 10 rides for eur 9 - 0.90 per ride. These tickets will also let you into the RENFE system, but you risk getting controlled if you go very far (more than 2 hours or so). The entrances sometimes have turnstiles and sometimes have sliding electronic gates. It is possible to jump or slide underneath, or climb over the electronic gates. If you get caught your risk is 40-100 euro - if you're not able to talk your way out of it. Control happens sometimes at the exits of stations, very rarely on the trains. On the stations with electronic gates, the best options is to wait for somebody to pass through a gate with a ticket, and walk directly behind them. This way you can across the gate. Sometimes, if you don do it quickly enough, a short buzzing alarm might activate, but this is largely ignored. |accommodation=[[Hospitality exchange]] networks have many members in Barcelona, however, you have to plan your stay well ahead since it is quite a popular destination. There is strong [[squat]]ting culture in Barcelona and there are many squats, even in the city center. Stick around La Ramble area and talk to the people who are busking with music or magic outside the terraces. * Shower: Carrer de Marie Curie 22 (metro Lluckmajor ) pick up number 8:00-10:00 each workday and shower from 10:00-12:00 and Av. Meridiana 197 (metro Navas) pick up number at 16:00 each workday to shower next morning. Options include sleeping on the beach, in parks, nearby hills, roofs of buildings and elsewhere. Note that parks in Barcelona close at night, and may not be that easy to get into one. === Parks and hills === * '''Ciutadella park''' is closed at night, but may be accessed by the entrance facing the Arc de Triomf. The bars of the fence near the gate are wide enough to slip through if you're not very big. You're unlikely to be disturbed during the night but the Police might wake you up after 8am and ask you to move on. Another user got inside and pitched a tent. It is safer if you are not alone. Lot of criminals and junkies also sleep there dont talk and dont trust anyone. Attach your bag to tree with rope when you sleep. *Sleep in a small park just '''in front of the Cosmo Caixa''' Museum where you can easy use a tent. By public transport, you can get the L7 to the end ''Av. Tibidabo'', than walk 5 minutes direction top of the hill, turn on the ''Carrer d'Isaac Newton'' just before the bridge on the left and continue. You will find this huge building, with a big submarine in front of it. When you have museum on your back, submarine on your right, there is some [http://goo.gl/maps/MxfX2 stairs] in front of you, between entrance of museum and submarine, you will see the main door of this park after few stairs, it might be close if its late, so you can go to the top of this stairs, than jump on the left side, go under the stairs to the other side, and there is the spot. 2 options: (1) near the bench, better for the ground, but you might be visible at the morning, and woke up by a guardian; (2) right after geting out from under the stairs, the ground is shitty, you might need good stake to setup your tent, mostly in windy time, from there, the guy who open the door at the morning, can't see you, and he don't go into the park at all, so you can sleep till late! *Take the metro from "Placa de Catalunya" to '''Canyelles station''', walk about 200 yards uphill from the station and find some nice hills to camp/sleep out/hang a hammock in. Can be hard to climb and find clean/flat surface in night!!! *Take a late train to the park in the North-West of Barcelona. For example, you can take the S2 to ''Sabadell'' (ticket zone 1) leaving from ''Plaça de Catalunya'' and getting off at ''Baixador de Vallvidrera'': there is a big park which is nearly like a forest, and you will find a very good and lonesome place to stay within 500 meters from the station. *'''Parc de la Pau''' - small and clean park next to the beatch (15 min from metro to station Besos Mar, next to Dechatlon shop, street Career de la Pau)... expect beautifull sunrise and enjoy morning swim! *With tent you can try to camp next to '''Camp De Futbol Canyelles''' (metro Valldaura and next to Institut Escola artístic Oriol Martorel, street Camí Antic de Sant Llàtzer) === Other places === *Sleep by the roundabout of the '''Colom monument''' near the port at the end of ''Las Ramblas'', although the traffic nearby can be quite noisy. You can sleep near statues of lions and as long as you are low-key about it, both police and locals probably won't disturb your stay. Hitchhiker [[User:Zac Stewart|Zac]] did this is October 2006 and had no problems with thieves, but discretion is wise nonetheless. *Port Vell area: There is a fantastic spot to sleep near Port Vell, at a place called La Rambla del Mar. To get there, follow Las Ramblas all the way to the bottom end, go past the columbus column in the direction of the water. You will come to a wooded 'deck' kind of area where a lot of tourists pass. There is a large, old square building here, the port police station, and next to it there is a big carpark. About 20 metres passed the end of the carpark there is a small wooden looking building that the hot dog vendors in the area use for supplies. and there are 3 more further on down the port vell area, just keep walking and you'll see them. It has a garage style door on the front. On the top of this there is a large white canvas tent, that looks kind of like a teepee, you cant miss it. It might be hard with just one person, but its easy to get on the roof of the building with 2 people, under the tent thing. Its warm, dry, out of sight and the tourists or police wont notice you if youre careful. [[Jugglehitch]] and 3 friends slept here for 1 week (in 2001, the structure may not be there anymore), with no hassle from anyone. A bit dusty, but perfect in every other way. *Banks which have ATM lobbies are great for sleeping rough in the centre of Barcelona. You will usually find other homeless people/ travellers/ junkies sleeping there too. You need to swipe the bank card to open the door but you can wait for someone going in to take money out, or tap on the window if there is someone already there, to let you in. === Sleeping in empty or occupied buildings and rooftops === Roofs and similar structures are quite fine sleeping places. Sleeping in abandoned houses is recommendable although it is considered a crime, "trespassing" unless you have a banner with the squatting "N" hanging from a balcony, window etc. The cops are going to put this down and inform the landlord. If they do not want you to stay and if you have been there for less than a week they can evict you right away. So in case you want to stay somewhere for less than a week having a banner is most likely not worth the hassle... You can just stay in a squat that has already gone through the registration process. Most of those houses are in Barcelona. === Sleep safe === When staying on the beach in Barcelona, you may notice '''thieves'''. They walk around and observe people on the beach for hours before stealing anything. Even though they aren't usually hostile or confrontational, they can steal clothes off your back while you're asleep. The only sure way to keep your things safe is to bury it in the sand and sleep on top of it. Sleeping with your head on your bag is just not enough. <br/ > These thieves are very professional, and they look for people sleeping rough not just on the beach but in the central districts too. [[User:Drumroots|Drumroots]] slept rough many nights in the centre and although he got lucky most times, one night a thief almost managed to walk off with all his stuff. He woke up just in time to scare the thief into dropping his stuff and running off. '''Wild boars''' are abundant in Barcelona, there are hundreds of them. A user was using the canyelles option for 3 nights but I don't have any reason to believe that it's different in Sadabell. i don't know if i would recommend anyone to sleep there... if you want to do this i wrote some general tips that will help you to stay alive but i think you should read more about wild boars because if anything will happen you would wish you knew more.. like i did in the first night ;-) however it's your responsibility. #Stay away from the canes. this is where they live and sometimes they spend the night there. #Don't take food to your place. #Don't provoke wild boars! They unafraid of humans. If something happens, back off slowly. #Wild boar usually don't attack unless they feel threatened. They will probably stay away from you but they will come to sniff your tent once you're inside...

Day passes are a little more than 5 euro, and cover the whole transport system, buses, trams, metro, and area trains (Rodalies and [http://www.fgc.net/eng/index.asp FGC]). Single passes are for the metro only, and cost eur 2.00 The best deal is the T-10, which is 10 rides for eur 9 - 0.90 per ride. These tickets will also let you into the RENFE system, but you risk getting controlled if you go very far (more than 2 hours or so). The entrances sometimes have turnstiles and sometimes have sliding electronic gates. It is possible to jump or slide underneath, or climb over the electronic gates. If you get caught your risk is 40-100 euro - if you're not able to talk your way out of it. Control happens sometimes at the exits of stations, very rarely on the trains. On the stations with electronic gates, the best options is to wait for somebody to pass through a gate with a ticket, and walk directly behind them. This way you can across the gate. Sometimes, if you don do it quickly enough, a short buzzing alarm might activate, but this is largely ignored. |accommodation=[[Hospitality exchange]] networks have many members in Barcelona, however, you have to plan your stay well ahead since it is quite a popular destination. There is strong [[squat]]ting culture in Barcelona and there are many squats, even in the city center. Stick around La Ramble area and talk to the people who are busking with music or magic outside the terraces. * Shower: Carrer de Marie Curie 22 (metro Lluckmajor ) pick up number 8:00-10:00 each workday and shower from 10:00-12:00 and Av. Meridiana 197 (metro Navas) pick up number at 16:00 each workday to shower next morning. Options include sleeping on the beach, in parks, nearby hills, roofs of buildings and elsewhere. Note that parks in Barcelona close at night, and may not be that easy to get into one. === Parks and hills === * '''Ciutadella park''' is closed at night, but may be accessed by the entrance facing the Arc de Triomf. The bars of the fence near the gate are wide enough to slip through if you're not very big. You're unlikely to be disturbed during the night but the Police might wake you up after 8am and ask you to move on. Another user got inside and pitched a tent. It is safer if you are not alone. Lot of criminals and junkies also sleep there dont talk and dont trust anyone. Attach your bag to tree with rope when you sleep. *Sleep in a small park just '''in front of the Cosmo Caixa''' Museum where you can easy use a tent. By public transport, you can get the L7 to the end ''Av. Tibidabo'', than walk 5 minutes direction top of the hill, turn on the ''Carrer d'Isaac Newton'' just before the bridge on the left and continue. You will find this huge building, with a big submarine in front of it. When you have museum on your back, submarine on your right, there is some [http://goo.gl/maps/MxfX2 stairs] in front of you, between entrance of museum and submarine, you will see the main door of this park after few stairs, it might be close if its late, so you can go to the top of this stairs, than jump on the left side, go under the stairs to the other side, and there is the spot. 2 options: (1) near the bench, better for the ground, but you might be visible at the morning, and woke up by a guardian; (2) right after geting out from under the stairs, the ground is shitty, you might need good stake to setup your tent, mostly in windy time, from there, the guy who open the door at the morning, can't see you, and he don't go into the park at all, so you can sleep till late! *Take the metro from "Placa de Catalunya" to '''Canyelles station''', walk about 200 yards uphill from the station and find some nice hills to camp/sleep out/hang a hammock in. Can be hard to climb and find clean/flat surface in night!!! *Take a late train to the park in the North-West of Barcelona. For example, you can take the S2 to ''Sabadell'' (ticket zone 1) leaving from ''Plaça de Catalunya'' and getting off at ''Baixador de Vallvidrera'': there is a big park which is nearly like a forest, and you will find a very good and lonesome place to stay within 500 meters from the station. *'''Parc de la Pau''' - small and clean park next to the beatch (15 min from metro to station Besos Mar, next to Dechatlon shop, street Career de la Pau)... expect beautifull sunrise and enjoy morning swim! *With tent you can try to camp next to '''Camp De Futbol Canyelles''' (metro Valldaura and next to Institut Escola artístic Oriol Martorel, street Camí Antic de Sant Llàtzer) *'''Sarrià-Sant Gervasi''' - Parc Serra de Collserola, nice park in luxury district of Barcelona. You can get here by bus 131 (bus stop Esteve Terradas - Pl Alfonso Comin). Near is a petrol station, you walk up to the park around 15-25 minutes and you can find a nice place for hammock (nice view at whole Barcelona included). But be aware of boars, we met one during the night. === Other places === *Sleep by the roundabout of the '''Colom monument''' near the port at the end of ''Las Ramblas'', although the traffic nearby can be quite noisy. You can sleep near statues of lions and as long as you are low-key about it, both police and locals probably won't disturb your stay. Hitchhiker [[User:Zac Stewart|Zac]] did this is October 2006 and had no problems with thieves, but discretion is wise nonetheless. *Port Vell area: There is a fantastic spot to sleep near Port Vell, at a place called La Rambla del Mar. To get there, follow Las Ramblas all the way to the bottom end, go past the columbus column in the direction of the water. You will come to a wooded 'deck' kind of area where a lot of tourists pass. There is a large, old square building here, the port police station, and next to it there is a big carpark. About 20 metres passed the end of the carpark there is a small wooden looking building that the hot dog vendors in the area use for supplies. and there are 3 more further on down the port vell area, just keep walking and you'll see them. It has a garage style door on the front. On the top of this there is a large white canvas tent, that looks kind of like a teepee, you cant miss it. It might be hard with just one person, but its easy to get on the roof of the building with 2 people, under the tent thing. Its warm, dry, out of sight and the tourists or police wont notice you if youre careful. [[Jugglehitch]] and 3 friends slept here for 1 week (in 2001, the structure may not be there anymore), with no hassle from anyone. A bit dusty, but perfect in every other way. *Banks which have ATM lobbies are great for sleeping rough in the centre of Barcelona. You will usually find other homeless people/ travellers/ junkies sleeping there too. You need to swipe the bank card to open the door but you can wait for someone going in to take money out, or tap on the window if there is someone already there, to let you in. === Sleeping in empty or occupied buildings and rooftops === Roofs and similar structures are quite fine sleeping places. Sleeping in abandoned houses is recommendable although it is considered a crime, "trespassing" unless you have a banner with the squatting "N" hanging from a balcony, window etc. The cops are going to put this down and inform the landlord. If they do not want you to stay and if you have been there for less than a week they can evict you right away. So in case you want to stay somewhere for less than a week having a banner is most likely not worth the hassle... You can just stay in a squat that has already gone through the registration process. Most of those houses are in Barcelona. === Sleep safe === When staying on the beach in Barcelona, you may notice '''thieves'''. They walk around and observe people on the beach for hours before stealing anything. Even though they aren't usually hostile or confrontational, they can steal clothes off your back while you're asleep. The only sure way to keep your things safe is to bury it in the sand and sleep on top of it. Sleeping with your head on your bag is just not enough. <br/ > These thieves are very professional, and they look for people sleeping rough not just on the beach but in the central districts too. [[User:Drumroots|Drumroots]] slept rough many nights in the centre and although he got lucky most times, one night a thief almost managed to walk off with all his stuff. He woke up just in time to scare the thief into dropping his stuff and running off. '''Wild boars''' are abundant in Barcelona, there are hundreds of them. A user was using the canyelles option for 3 nights but I don't have any reason to believe that it's different in Sadabell. i don't know if i would recommend anyone to sleep there... if you want to do this i wrote some general tips that will help you to stay alive but i think you should read more about wild boars because if anything will happen you would wish you knew more.. like i did in the first night ;-) however it's your responsibility. #Stay away from the canes. this is where they live and sometimes they spend the night there. #Don't take food to your place. #Don't provoke wild boars! They unafraid of humans. If something happens, back off slowly. #Wild boar usually don't attack unless they feel threatened. They will probably stay away from you but they will come to sniff your tent once you're inside...

It is essentially also a conference on our shared nomadic culture. ==SHE== She stands for Sustainable Hospitality Exchange. SHE was also a conference that [http://www.bevolunteer.org/wiki/SHE took place] in Amsterdam, june 2008. '''SHE goes MAD''' is the proposed title for the conference in Berlin. MAD stands for nomadic but MAD in itself is just too cool to not use. She is an approach and a framework of thinking to understand hospitality. In more specific terms she is a framework of thinking to understand how we can be hospitatible 'sustainably', for one on a personal level, secondly on a group level and thirdly on a network level. What are the things we need to make it possible for us to remain hospitable, ie to keep on 'hosting' without undermining our common and personal capacity? ==Schedule== * 20.11.2009 - 27.11.2009 Work meetings * 27.11.2009 - 30.11.2009 Main conference :Opening Session on the 27th late afternoon. See also [[SHE_goes_MAD#Proposed_Schedule|Proposed Schedule]] ==Open Space== The format of the conference will be an [[open space]] format. There is no fixed agenda and participants themselves will set up topics once the conference starts. We will share our intentions of why we come together, and feed our common agenda based on the main questions we have. We will group these questions around specific categories of type of meetings we want to have. This is an ongoing process. This also means that separate topics could be discussed in different spaces at the same time. At the same time, people could be discussing technical stuff, while other people meet to discuss the culture of a nomadbase. Participants vote with their feet: you go where you feel at place - where you feel/ think you can learn or contribute. Basically, whenever two people are together discussing a related topic, a meeting has started. Topics can also change during the conference, depending on how things move along. Spaces would for example include: * Meeting space A, B and C (need naming) * Social space (for 'off-topic') * Skill-share space A and B ==Online Presence== We also intend to have interaction with people who are unable to attend the conference. During the conference, notes will be taken and put online on a wiki. We also will invite the non-attending participants to start discussions. We will ''try'' to stream specific meetings, and set up a tele/videoconference. What it is needed in Berlin to make the connection possible: one laptop (possibly with webcam), speakers, and skype access. ==Topics & Questions== A common way of starting a gathering like this is to first do an introduction rounds in a big group or even smaller groups, to share our intentions and questions. It is important for people to feel comfortable with each other, so they feel free to exchange their knowledge and their thoughts without reservations. It is sometimes better to have multiple smaller meetings, than one big meeting for this. What also works well is to have a box where people can write down their main questions for what they want to learn/ get out of the meeting, before making some form of (dynamic) agenda. Or to have a huge board/ white sheet where people can add their topics and/or proposed meetings. As a reference, we can already start sharing our ideas for topics or questions here below.

The aim of the conference is to connect people whose intention is to set up a network of [[nomadspace|nomadic spaces]], spaces where [[nomads]] feel at home. It is essentially also a conference on our shared nomadic culture. ==SHE== She stands for Sustainable Hospitality Exchange. SHE was also a conference that [http://www.bevolunteer.org/wiki/SHE took place] in Amsterdam, june 2008. '''SHE goes MAD''' is the proposed title for the conference in Berlin. MAD stands for nomadic but MAD in itself is just too cool to not use. She is an approach and a framework of thinking to understand hospitality. In more specific terms she is a framework of thinking to understand how we can be hospitatible 'sustainably', for one on a personal level, secondly on a group level and thirdly on a network level. What are the things we need to make it possible for us to remain hospitable, ie to keep on 'hosting' without undermining our common and personal capacity? ==Schedule== * 20.11.2009 - 27.11.2009 Work meetings * 27.11.2009 - 30.11.2009 Main conference :Opening Session on the 27th late afternoon. See also [[SHE_goes_MAD#Proposed_Schedule|Proposed Schedule]] ==Open Space== The format of the conference will be an [[open space]] format. There is no fixed agenda and participants themselves will set up topics once the conference starts. We will share our intentions of why we come together, and feed our common agenda based on the main questions we have. We will group these questions around specific categories of type of meetings we want to have. This is an ongoing process. This also means that separate topics could be discussed in different spaces at the same time. At the same time, people could be discussing technical stuff, while other people meet to discuss the culture of a nomadbase. Participants vote with their feet: you go where you feel at place - where you feel/ think you can learn or contribute. Basically, whenever two people are together discussing a related topic, a meeting has started. Topics can also change during the conference, depending on how things move along. Spaces would for example include: * Meeting space A, B and C (need naming) * Social space (for 'off-topic') * Skill-share space A and B ==Online Presence== We also intend to have interaction with people who are unable to attend the conference. During the conference, notes will be taken and put online on a wiki. We also will invite the non-attending participants to start discussions. We will ''try'' to stream specific meetings, and set up a tele/videoconference. What it is needed in Berlin to make the connection possible: one laptop (possibly with webcam), speakers, and skype access. ==Topics & Questions== A common way of starting a gathering like this is to first do an introduction rounds in a big group or even smaller groups, to share our intentions and questions. It is important for people to feel comfortable with each other, so they feel free to exchange their knowledge and their thoughts without reservations. It is sometimes better to have multiple smaller meetings, than one big meeting for this. What also works well is to have a box where people can write down their main questions for what they want to learn/ get out of the meeting, before making some form of (dynamic) agenda. Or to have a huge board/ white sheet where people can add their topics and/or proposed meetings. As a reference, we can already start sharing our ideas for topics or questions here below.

So here is some more stories and info on my time busking in this legendary city. Lets start with Permits. If you are planning to stay in Amsterdam for a few months busking, then it is definitely worth looking to apply for a permit. The rules have changed a lot now, and they only give 10 out, give you a set time to play, and give you 3 chances to get a warning. There is only a window of a few weeks to get the permit, and that is the first 2 weeks of February. It will cost you 50 euroes and some photos, but is a good investment for the summer. As when Amsterdam is busy it is a gold mine for street musicians virtually wherever you play. They give you 4 sets of one hour each, for 3 days of the week. Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The best places to play with an amp are Rembrandtplein, Leidseplein and Dam Square. These are the places where you can draw a crowd and fill a big hat. I reccomend having someone with a hat, as that triggers much more of a drop rate than waiting for people to put it in your case. Someone with a hat, selling CDś is a way to massively increase your takings for a set. But keep the volume down though, as the Handhaving and Politie can give you a warning if it is too loud. Amsterdam enjoys itś peacefulness, so respect that and you will be fine. If you are travelling with an amp and band, it is OK to risk a few sets here and there, and if you are stopped, just play the Travelling band card and they are usually fine with you. Acoustic Busking can be just as rewarding as busking with an amp in Peak season, and if you are only on your own, you can make almost the same amount that is usually split between 4. I survived a whole winter here on 2 spots. Not overworking them, which is important. If you overplay a spot too much it will start to reject you. Itś strange, you will find aggression from passers by, Handhaving and neighbours stopping you. The best plan is to find a route, of 3 or 4 spots where you know you can make between 10 and 30 euroes an hour. 4 sets and you have a good days wage. But dont bank on the spots, sometimes you can make just pennies, when the previous day you had a full hat. Thatś the only certain thing about busking. The uncertainty. The good thing about Amsterdam though is that there are so many good acoustic spots, because of the quietness of the city. These are the spots I have found have been reliable drop spots. After 10 years of being closed, the Rijks museum finally reopened this year and it is the most beautiful acoustic spot in the city. A whole chamber of reverb for you to fill. Tourists walking by, lots of people coming through. They like people playing there also, as long as it is nice. They will move you on if you go and try to play punk in there. Busking is about fitting your environment. I remember in Liverpool I would play all the gritty angry folky ones, cos that is the environment. When I tried to play them in La Louvre in Paris, it just didn fit. A good busker can pull out the perfect song to fit his environment and situation. Lovely day? Play some sunshine music. Rainy? Play some rainy day songs and so on. The Rijks museum naturally attracts the classical players, single instruments and bands. There is sometimes a waiting line in there, as it is sheltered, reverbed, and a tourist hot spot. So just go and book yourself on and give it half an hour. I find it is even the most perfect practise spot late at night. There are no neighbours, so I just go there late sometimes and practise some new songs. Waterlooplein. I love this place. Not just because the market there has kept me in good shoes all through my stay, but it is just so great a spot to play. It is busy with the market, but still so quiet. It makes all the difference in busking when you can hear yourself, and enjoy the set. It has no car traffic, just bikes and passers by. This place kept me going through the winter. I would have to get there early to beat the Gypsys, but now they are at Rijks a lot so Waterlooplein has mostly been free! I have had some very good hat fulls here, but it is playing to passers by, not drawing a crowd for people to sit. There is a woman who lives close by that likes to come and tell you to stop. But the law for acoustic busking is that you can play in one spot virtually anywhere for 30 minutes. So if you are acoustic, she has to let you play. I love this place, and will be there again over the Winter, so you best get there early to beat me! This is a day spot, night time it is pretty quiet, but sometimes worth a shot in Summer especially. Red Light District, the bridge by the church on the same line as the bull dogs is another good spot. Night time especuially, but prepare yourself for randy tourists and noisy drunks. This risk can bring big steady drops, but you have to put up with some pricks. 'Play Wonderwall!' They scream so gleefully. It is supposedly forbidden to play in the Red Light area, but they seem to let it happen, as long as you are not too noisy, and not there for too long! Vondelpark is a good day spot, but only through the summer. Playing just by the entrance always served me well, or the tunnel a bit further on, but that has awkward walk ways. The thing about your busking spot, is funneling them into a narrow walkway, making eye contact and BOOM BABY, there is the drop. Vondelpark has a lovely quiet, and tourists and passers by. You can probably find an OK spot in a lot of places, but the drops were always unsteady with this place. Sometimes really great, and sometimes nothing! The Hard Rock Cafe on Max Euweplein is a good night time spot. After the chess board has closed at 21.30 you can do a sneaky set and sometimes make a really good hat. It is supposedly forbidden to play there, but the street guards dont seem to mind. Just dont drink a beer on this set as its not allowed to drink there. If you are tempted by the tunnel just a few metres away, there is a guy who lives above that doesnt like buskers playing there. So just watch out for him. But somtimes you can catch him out and play a little set there. Nice acoustics and good passers by. There are that many bridges in Amsterdam, so Iḿ sure you can find one that suits you. There is also another type of busking you can do, which has proved to me to dwarf any of the above. It is a way to make big money in Amsterdam. But since that is our project for the summer, I will keep it to myself for now. Enjoy your Amsterdam busking adventure. And if you want a little insider advice. Go to the Coffeeshop Degraal on Albert Cuypstraat. They have the best, cheapest weed, best music, best people, a recording studio in the back and weekly jam nights. This place has been like a second home to me, it is a creative atmosphere where you can smoke a joint, play chess, draw in the house book, and meet some very good interesting people. Do say hello if you catch me in there! Albert Heijn is the best Bar and Restaurant in town. Good healthy salad for 3 euroes, bottle of good beer for 1. But only an outdoor seating area, haha. Hope this gives you a good heads up on enjoying Amsterdam as a busker. If you are reading this and want some adventure, then do it. Take a holiday, learn some busking classics and just head out into the unkown. I promise you it will make you truly experience life. Each day, each season, you will really feel the city by standing the streets playing music, seeing life come and go and fill your hat. What are you waiting for?

Bus tickets are not transferable, you buy a separate one for each bus ride, each costs €1.40. In season, there are oranges everywhere, on every street, dripping off the trees, however they aren't good for eating. |accommodation=* There are some parks up in the north, on both sides of the river. * You can try Alamillo park near the river, I was alone with tent and can say that it's a quite good place. [Update] Actually you can even find a beautiful cob yurt at this park where you could stay every day but Saturdays and Sundays. Just please bear in mind that this is an archeological project focused on educating children, so be very respectful and try to leave the place even better than you found it. Its location at the park:[[File:yurts location.jpg]] The problem with park Alamillo as well as with most of parks in Sevilla is that it has it's closing time (in the summer it's open from 7 am till 2 am), so even if the guards won't throw you out of there before closing, keep in mind that you will be locked in the park for some hours (the fence is not easy to climb, maybe you can find a place to sneak in and out though if you search). The yurt is damaged now, there's been a fire or smth, and the whole archeological exposition place seems abandoned (08.2017). There is a pretty good, a bit abandoned park near the center (Parque Vega de Triana). It's open all the time. At least in the north end of it you can find big bench like structures that are good to sleep on and if you put your ten there at night I don't think someone will bother you, just don't keep it there in the daytime (in other hand, thare are people living in tent's near Cristo de la Expiracion bridge all the time and police doesn't seem to care [09.2017]). At night there's no one there and in the morning there are people running, cycling, walking their dogs, no one hanging out with the beer or smth, so it's rather peaceful atmosphere for sleeping travellers. Also if you're thinking about sleeping in parks on the grass (and this is for whole Spain wherever the grass is green) be aware that there are water sprays that are turned on automatically every few hours and it's very annoying. Plaza de armas bus station is open 24 hours (I suppose as most of them in Spain do). Not sure how sleeping on the floor would work out there, but there's a free wifi there and it's a good shelter in case of rain or smth else. There's another bus station in southern part of the city center. === Bathing === The "green river" (I can't find the original name of the water body, but it seems to actually be more of an artificial pond than a river) of Sevilla (the main one that runs thru the center) is good to take a swim. The water seems to be clean enough. There are pretty much of small piers along it that are comfortable for that. If you want more privacy you can find spots in park Alamillo. Rio Guadalquivir is very muddy. |bewelcome-link=http://www.bewelcome.org/places/Spain/ES/Andalusia/51/Seville/2510911 |food=There is a good dumpster diving spot at the Ponce de León square, where you will find the M.A.S. supermarket with a couple of small dumpsters. I'd also try the Supersols. Every Wednesday at 14:00 at the Pumarejo square there is a free lunch organized by the "Mujeres Supervivientes" association in the big neighbours house, an association which fights against gender violence. You can contribute with donations. Currently (03.03.16) they awaiting for government benefits which would allow them to serve lunch three times per week. But this is Spain and everything takes ages. |connectivity=Tourist office at the San Francisco square offers 1 hour of Internet for free. You just have to sign up on the desk there. Working times: 10-14h and 17-20h. There's a free wifi in Plaza de armas bus staion (info hangs on the information kiosk [09.2017]). In front of any Mcdonalds and Starbucks. In some of the tourist offices. |busking=My advice for whole Spain: go for the terraces! Don't be shy. Specially in Triana there seems to be less competition. The whole oldtown is good for busking, cause there are lots of walking streets more and less busy, just pick your spot. }} The outmost worthwhile spot in Sevilla is El Huerto del Rey Moro. Located in Enladrillada street, in the very city oldtown, it is a beautiful squated city garden (actually the only one I know in Spain) run by the same neighbours and volunteers. There you can learn about permaculture with Luciano, a recognized expert in Europe, jam along with various musicians, meet families from the area, learn how to bake bread or make your own pasta, learn about bio-construction or how to make compost... Just the best place you can imagine, constantly visited by artists, free thinkers and, in general, people aiming towards new ways of living, who volunteer there and are slowly making this place some sort of a second home. Since three or four weeks ago (being today 03.03.16) they started organizing self-made lunches for the volunteers and other people involved in the garden. Anyone is welcome to participate in this wonderful project. Clearly the greatest one currently ongoing in this city.

Portugal is the westernmost country of mainland Europe and is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west and south and by [[Spain]] to the north and east. The Atlantic archipelagos of the [[Azores]] and [[Madeira Islands|Madeira]] are also part of Portugal. People are very friendly in general. During the summer, especially the coastline is overrun with tourists. In Portugal people are easy going and sometimes slow. Everything needs its time, so you will probably have to wait for a little while. Long distance buses are usually a bit late. |accommodation=if you don't find anything through the typical hospitality exchange networks, you can try to stay with the firemen. Each Bombeiros station in Portugal has a room where they can host passing travellers, and it is free. These (mostly volunteer) fire-fighters are friendly and chatty, when they speak English. Make sure you go ask early enough, however, as the station commander has to verify that you can stay... ([[User:janpa|janpa]] tried it in several stations in March 2013 and had no luck. Might work in remote areas though, or if you are a fireman yourself.) Throughout the three warmer seasons, and in winter too if you have a tent or find shelter, you can sleep outside without much hassle. However, it is illegal to camp unless you do so on a specified camp area, so be sure to keep yourself out of sight and don't litter. Camping on the beach is also illegal, and most are patrolled at night during the summer. If caught, you will be kicked out and fined. |bewelcome-link=http://www.bewelcome.org/places/Portugal/PT |food=You make a good deal if you buy on the local markets where you can expect good quality for low prices. Fruits, vegetables, fish and meat have mostly good prices. Expensive is cheese, fruit juice, haribo and chocolate. In restaurants you will always get bread, cheese, butter and olives without being asked. This will cost extra. As starter there is a soup usual and as main course grilled fish or grilled meat with rice or chips. Portuguese people often eat grilled stuff or stew. The meals are mostly simple. If you're in small villages while they have festivities, you might get free food distributed by the organization. The food normally consists of grilled sardines (yummy!), bread and wine (loads of it). You can find those events mainly in summer time in places like Azambuja (Feira de Maio), Vila Franca de Xira (Colete Encharnado) or Benavente (Festas da Amizade). You can check [http://festabravanoribatejo.blogspot.pt this website] to find these events (not all of them include free food though). In summer 2015 [[User:EliasExplores|EliasExplores]] traveled to many of these festivities and documented it with his camera.

When I was there at the height of summer, it was never crowded if not almost completely deserted. Camping in the park is safe, free and legal and you could spend days exploring it.

Near the Trosterud station there's an entrance to the Lutvann Lake[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutvann] recreation area within the park. When you leave the station, follow the paved pedestrian road to the left just a few meters. There will be another paved road/bike path going up the hill to your right. Follow this all the way up. You will reach a cluster of apartment buildings. Keep following the asphalt path. It will end in a small parking lot and a raised basketball court I think. At this point turn right and follow the car-road. Turn left just past the basketball court and follow this road as it veers up and to the right, I think it's called Lutvannsveien. You will pass a military base and the entrance to the park is another 50 meters or so past that. The lake itself is another 5-10 minute walk inside the park, just follow the big gravel path. All told it's about a 20-30 minute hike from the station. For hitching this spot is ideal because it's also very close to the E6 going north.

There is also a paying camping inside it where you can sneak inside to have a free shower..close to E6 and E18 at a walking distance. ''Update August 2015:'' According to security officials met in the Ekeberg park it is not legal to sleep at night in inner Oslo and you can get fine of several thousand kroner for that. If you pitch your tent in Ekeberg park in visible area, it is likely that some security (either from Ekeberg camping or from city) will wake you up in the morning and ask you to leave or go to official camp. If you hide your tent, you may be able to spend there a couple of nights. Waking security was generally nice, giving warning, not fine and 4 hours to pack the stuff and leave. It can be a good place to spend 1 night when you just travel through Oslo. For longer time in Oslo read about Østmarka above. It is easy to use facilities in Ekeberg camping. You just walk in. For showers and washing machines you need a chip card. Cooking and using toilets and sinks is possible without. ===Hosting=== * The [[squat]] called "[[Blå]]" next to the culture house "housemania" in the city centre has a guest room with 6 places. It's worth asking for sure even if often it's full and it is not liked nor allowed to sleep on the floor.

Overcrowded of streetsellers, "artists", painters, dancers, beggars, real or fake musicians, every 5 meters in the main pedestrian walks (Karl Johans Gate) you have somebody trying to sell you something; fact that makes the itinerant busker's life and job so much more complicated and difficult. Better spot is the harbour (where tourist cruises and normal ferries to the islands arrive) though there too very often there are lots of people busking. Definitely better move to another city like [[Bergen]], [[Trondheim]] or [[Tromso]] }} == Other Useful Info == * [http://www.osloforbeginners.com/ Oslo for Beginners] - a nice witty website.

In one hour, for a regular skip, he counted five divers. None of them walked away with anything, but two had bicycles with baskets full of previously collected waste. Sources seem to show that even bakeries take away everything. " |busking=====Locations==== There are several very good spot to busk in Sofia. Any exit of the underground stops in the city centre (NDK, Serdika, Kliment Ohridski Sofia University, Stadion Vasil Levski) are very good as also the main pedestrian, commercial streets, Vitosha bd and Graf Ignatiev st. In summer time and during the weekends parks (Ndk, Borisova Gradina) are also a very good alternative when there is good weather. Some spot are particularly sensitive to police interventions so try to avoid them unless you really need it, like inside the underground (where you need an extra special permission) except Kliment Ohridski stop where (next to McDo and bookshop) is one of the most profitable place, especailly in the early morning (up to 40lev/h); or bd Vitosha (in the non pedestrian part) where the locals living there easily complain and call police. Don't play between 2 and 4 pm since is the "resting time" and is implicit for bulgarian not to disturb "public calm". Perfect to rest between lunch break (12 - 2pm) and after work session (4.30 - 7 pm) ====Law - Police==== Officially, you need a permit to sell any kind of merchandise in the streets, and music or street spectacles are of course considered as something you are selling to people since you get money from it. Though it is almost impossible to get the permission since there are so many request and the municipality doesn't issue any until the old ones expire, therefore most of people, busk, juggle sell flowers or whatsoever without any kind of authorisation and just disappear when authorities arrive. Depending on the spots almost nobody cares about it and you can play without. Police may come to annoy and stop you but since they don't speak english and don't love to mess with foreigner they'll probably let you go easily. ====Personal experiences==== [[User:FedeDC|Fede]] waited more than 2 months busking "illegally", insisting at the local offices and hoping to get a permit, then discovered that almost none (really few) of the other local busker had it and gave up his hope on the law.

Most strategies appear to involve closely following a fellow traveler, using a scarf or jacket to set off sensors on the far side of the barriers, or simply slipping through the sliding gates. |accommodation====Hospitality exchange=== Hosting community is big enough and finding hosts in the streets does work very well also. Look for people in surrounding cities as well, as the metropolitan area is widespread. ===Wildcamping=== If the weather is good the two parks in downtown, Djurgården (better, calm and isolated on an island) and Ladugårdsgärdet are very good option for camping. Swedish people have a very good respect for camping and won't ever wake you up. ===Arlanda airport=== Airport is pretty good place to spend your night. It's quiet, not very busy and has good set of chairs and benches. They have free internet ("Airport-Guest") which you can use for free endlessly if you [[Internet#Getting_around_time_restricted_wifis|change your computer mac address]] every now and then. Only that the shuttle bus/train costs a lot to get there — but if you have a change to get a lift there or use local transport, it's a great place to continue hitchhiking northwards in the morning.

Choose your place according to your needs. In the old town, there are mainly tourists and people who work with tourists (shopkeepers, street-sellers etc). The roads are narrow and a bit quite. In the commercial area, there are more locals but roads are wider and busier. If your objective is to find a host or gather a crowd, the second (commercial) option might be better. If you seek to relax, rest, focus on money or meet foreigners, the first (old town) option might be better. }} == Free lockers == Free lockers can be found at the modern museum. The University provides you with rather cheap coffee, maybe also with free lockers.

There's free wifi in most of bars and cafes, you can take something cheap or just ask for the password. |busking=Greece belong to Mediterranean euro countries, which means, you have the same currency of other rich european countries but further lower average wages. On the other hand it is one of the most favorite touristic destination for many rich or wealthy Europeans which makes it very very good for earning an income from the streets. Touristic islands (e.g. [[Crete]] and [[Rhodes]]) or destinations on the mainland ([[Peloponnese]] as [[Meteora]]) could be further better option than big cities. [[Athens]] is kind of both, huge and also very touristic. Give it a try but don't stay too much, islands are much more beautiful and rentable! |visa=[[Schengen]] Area. }} [[trash:Greece]] [[couch:Greece]] imjsxqjphhgzt9kx5hg2r6f7oushke5 0 312 925 2014-04-15T08:29:52Z Guaka 1 stub 925 wikitext text/x-wiki {{City |country=Greece |transport=Public transport is fairly cheap.

There is lots of vibes going on, especially around [[Exarcheia]], which is the place where lots of [[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/04/09/athens-anarchists_n_7032542.html anarchy based ideas]] are spreading. There are many [[squat]]s where people help and host refugees. Also there is a university called Politechnio where refugees are hosted and parties take place from which the money raised go's to the practical aid for the people in need. Find squats like [[Nosotros]], [[Notara]] and relax with a proper wifi and donation based drinks and food in the squat (...) in Tsamadou street where is also a garden which is fought for by anarchists to transform it from parking to garden. |transport=Public transport tickets cost EUR 1.20 (full price) or EUR 0.60 (students) and are valid for 70min after first validation. As an act of solidarity, partially used tickets are left on the validating machines, escalators, etc. If you find one, take it. The time of first validation are the last 4 digits printed. The public transport is almost not controlled, except the metro intersections (Syntagma, Omonia, Attiki, Monastiraki), where they hide behind the turns of the connecting corridors. If they catch you without a ticket, give them your passport, but don't pay the fine. Till now, nobody saw their fines redirected to their countries. Taxis are also quite okay, for about 1 euro per km, so if you're in a group it could even be cheaper to get a cab. |accommodation=You can manage to find places to sleep by being an active spirit in Exarcheia. People are willing to help you get a proper rest during the night. The squats are difficult to get in as some are organised not to sleep in and some are used for the refugees to sleep in so it also feels not proper to ask there for a place to sleep. You can always crash a night in a hidden place of the garden of Politechnio or in Pedion Areos or just find a housedoor open and go to the rooftop as I did in at Komminon 8. I even found a bed on the rooftop with blankets that were clean :) |bewelcome-link=http://www.bewelcome.org/places/Hellas/GR/Attica/ESYE31/Athen/264371 |food=Dumbsterdiving is very succesful at market Totsista on Saterdays after around 15 o clock. You can get falafel for 1 euro at several places and Souvlaki is 2 euro everywhere but the meet will most likely be from industry and will most probably be full with antibiotics and other bad energies. Spirit food you can get in Exarcheia, but look a bit further as the suppliers there are part of the mafia. Better to avoid giving them money of course so give it some time and be patient if you want to support the good people instead. |connectivity=At Vox (of course also in Exarcheia) you can sit and take internet from their neighbours. They dont bother if you sit here and even dont order something. You can even sit here with drinks and food you take from somewhere else. There is plenty of space, but the internetconnection is not too good. |busking=Once I played music at Notara outside with refugees and locals. I ended up recording a song with amazing people and we are in the mood to produce our own songs for the sake of our collective evolution }} Archeological sites are overpriced and often close early.

Most of the area is de facto governed by the state of [[Israel]], including all borders. This means you will have to get in through Israeli borders such as the 3 crossings with [[Jordan]] or at Ben Gurion. Stamps of Israeli "enemy countries" such as [[Syria]] can lead to an interrogation. If you have the chance it's better to acquire a new passport before leaving to the area. Also, when entering Israel it's actually better to lie about your planned visiting of Palestinian areas. Border control doesn't like this. When moving around within the West Bank it's very wise to always keep your passport on you. There are many checkpoints. The easiest way to get around is probably on a bicycle as you are considered a "vehicle" at the checkpoints and you can easily pass.

To go to Belarus / Ukraine the best option is to take a night train to the border and cross the border by other transport / by hitch-hiking (crossing a border makes a train ticket cost 2 times more). |accommodation=As for 2014, a traveller may find at least 2 or 3 hostels in any city with population higher than 400k population. The average price is about 500 rubles (in some towns it may go as low as 300 RUR). Quality and amount of hostels in Moscow and St. Perersburg are renown for bad quality and high prices. Hostel network is gradually spreading over the country. To find both accommodation and company, you can also use [http://hospitalityclub.org Hospitality Club], [http://couchsurfing.org CouchSurfing] and Russian+Ukranian+Belorussian Livejournal community [http://vpiska.livejournal.com Vpiska]. The official language of the latter is Russian but you can use English as well (ask other members to translate your post to Russian in the end of your message if you like). Just post the name of the locations you are planning to stay in, or your route, the dates of your possible arrival, the number of your party, some information about you and your mobile number. If travelling long distances through the country, it is advisable to bring a sleeping bag and tent. If sleeping by the side of the road, try to find a place obscured by trees, and avoid places with stray dogs. Sleeping by the road is usually very safe, provided you are not visible. Security guards and police will usually not bother you even if they see you, since nature-tourism is still quite popular in Russia. Long-distance truck drivers are often very hospitable, and many will allow you to sleep in the second bunk of their cab. There are many transit drivers taking cars across the country to and from Vladivostok. You may find yourself with one of these drivers for a number of days. There have been isolated incidents where people sleeping in these transit cars have been attacked and had their car stolen, and so the drivers may want you to stay with them for their own safety. |bewelcome-link=http://www.bewelcome.org/places/Russia/RU |connectivity=Not sure if this is up to date, but some info here http://wiki.apnchanger.org/Russia Apparently most places have free wifi in Russia, it's allegedly very common. |visa='''Russia''' has an extended system of bureaucracy. [[File:RussiaVisaPolicy.PNG|thumb|right|400px]] Most nationals of Western countries require [[invitation]]s for a visa to Russia. Most EU states can now (June 2014) obtain a visa without an invitation, but through a travel agency. For example, in Berlin this costs €85 (June 2014) for a German passport and €105 (June 2014) for a UK passport. Countries with visa free entry are [[Brazil]], [[Argentina]], [[Venezuela]], most former Soviet countries (except the Baltic EU countries) and Balkan countries. The easiest way to get a Russian visa for EU citizens is to contact go to a Visa Center (you can find their website on the appropriate embassy website) who will take care of everything for about €80 to €100. '''The Ultimate Guide to a €35 Russian Visa without an Agency for Most EU Citizens (except UK, Ireland and Croatia, among others):''' ''Most Russian embassies in the EU don't require you to submit an application through a visa center/travel agent or to complete any additional steps, but it's very important to check the respective embassy's website for their particular requirements.'' 1. Get an appointment at the respective embassy of your choice. This the biggest hassle of the entire process as appointments are usually booked out for at least two months ahead... You'll find a link to the online appointment booking system on the embassy's website - it'll look something like http://paris.kdmid.ru/queue-en/. Record the appointment details. 2. Two weeks or so before your appointment, book accommodation through this [http://www.saint-petersburg.com/russian-visa/free-visa-support/ website]'s affiliate link to Booking.com. They give free tourist invitations to anyone who books using their affiliate link - it's important to follow the link to Booking.com from their website. As it's Booking.com, you can give them a fake credit card (using a fake CC number generator of course) and you don't actually have to stay at the places or pay for them in advance. But you do need the reservations. Alternatively, you could also get an invitation through the many websites which offer it for as low as €10 - but the steps above will get you one for free. 3. Once you've managed to successfully book accommodation through Booking.com, fill out this [https://www.saint-petersburg.com/russian-visa/free-visa-support/request/ form]. They should send you scans of the invitation to your e-mail. Print those out. 4. Fill out this [https://visa.kdmid.ru/PetitionChoice.aspx?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1 form] exactly as you've filled out the previous form. This is the official Russian form which you'll submit to the embassy. Print it. Sign it. Glue two passport photos onto it (3.5x4.5cm size). 5. Get travel insurance which has at least €30,000 cover. Print a confirmation. If you're good enough with photoshop you can give them something legit looking. You'll also probably need this at the Russian border. 6. Go to the embassy for your appointment with all the paperwork (printout of the invitation, the official Russian form with your signature and photos and confirmation of insurance). Pay them €35. Wait for the visa. 7. Have fun in Russia! IMPORTANT: Every embassy and every nationality is different! Check the embassy website before following these steps as there may be extra requirements not covered here! === Police, Visas and formalities === The general consensus is that, providing your passport and visa are in order, you will have no problem entering Russia. Even hitching in at remote border crossings in the middle of the night is fine. However you are very likely to be held when leaving the country by a land crossing, particularly if hitching out. You will most likely be required to describe your trip in great detail, and explain other passport stamps. Do not worry if this happens, just answer their questions and you will be allowed to go. (eventually) Whilst hitching in Russia, the police will occasionally stop the vehicle you are traveling in to check the driver's documents. There is a small possibility that your driver will be asked about you, the passenger. This is likely to be the only time your ID is likely to be checked when hitching in Russia, other than at the borders. The police will not ask for too much information usually; they will look at your passport, visa and immigration card, and they may take notes of your name and address. They will most likely not check your visa registration. You do have to have your passport with the visa and other papers you get while crossing the border handy. A good idea is to put them in some transparent waterproof bag – the immigration card is absolutely soviet style, and will not survive even the light raining. As a visitor to Russia, it is important to understand the registration rules. Officially, you must register your visa in Russia within 3 working days of arriving in the country, and also subsequently register again in any town or city you remain in for 3 days or longer though in 2011, the rules apparently changed: Now you only have to register if you stay somewhere for upwards from seven business days, i.e. nine "real" days. The registration upon arrival also isn't necessary any more. Furthermore, the new law clearly stipulates that it's your ''host's'' responsibility to register you (i.e. hotel, hostel, or potentially private host). To be sure, check with people who know what they're talking about [http://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/forum.jspa?forumID=15&keywordid=142 such as the thorn tree forum]. Hotels are legally required to register foreign guests within 24 hours. Hostels are, too, but in practice often don't or only do for a fee. If you are being hosted by a private citizen then you can register at the post office. This process is complicated and time consuming unfortunately, but registration provides peace of mind that you will have no problems if the police or border police try to find any. If you do not plan to stay for a long time just have some strong evidence that you have just arrived. Buy a vegan hamburger if you can find one and keep the receipt before leaving some nice town or city you pass by (make sure there is the place‘s name on it). The train or bus tickets are the best means to persuade cops you are not hanging around St. Petersburg for half a year already, so you might take a short ride on a local train from time to time to have a set of tickets marking your way. Alternatively, you might also get your visa registered the once for peace of mind. The border police do not often check visa registration, particularly at non European borders, as it is too much hassle. Some regular tourists in Russia comment that the cost and time consumption of registering a visa is too great, and prefer to hope that they are not checked when leaving. However if you are caught with an unregistered visa, expect at least a 2000 Ruble fine (as of before 2011 -- we are not aware of how the situation is now). If you are travelling anywhere North of St. Petersburg, particularly around Murmansk and towards Norway, it is highly recommended that you register your visa. In early 2011, user haggismn had registration and other documents checked three times at the various military check points. (not including the Norwegian border itself) === Crossing the border === Citizens of most countries need a visa, the notable exceptions are most former Soviet states (apart from the Baltic states) and Israel. Most visa types require an invitation. ==== [[Azerbaijan]] ==== The border seems to be open only for holders of CIS passports. Official sources (f.e. the German ministry of foreign affairs) say that this status changed and now it is possible also for Non CIS passport holder. Please check the discussion about this. Before there is an confirmation by a traveller that crossed that border, the status will not be updated only to "open" instead of "disputed". ==== [[Belarus]] ==== The border between Russia and Belarus is open. You will feel almost like in other parts of Europe, no border controls with an everlasting que at all. This is of course a nice time-saving fact, but it also means that you will recieve no entrance stamp to Russia. After the German embassy was creative enough to recommend to go to an airport and ask random police for an entrance stamp, the ministry of foreign affairs in Moscow confirmed that this is no problem for an overland traveller on another border and at the crossing to Kazakhstan nobody asked about the missing stamp. '''UPDATE''' (2017): Third country nationals (ie. not [[CIS]]) are no longer allowed to cross the Belarus/Russia border even with a valid visa for both countries, due to reciprocity measures undertaken by the Russian Government because of EU sanctions. Non-CIS travelers are redirected to cross from Lithuania or Ukraine. There are checks at all major transit points. "Sneaking in" at a random village is not advised. ==== [[People's_Republic_of_China|China]] ==== The crossing at Zabaykal'sk/Manzhouli requires that you are on board a vehicle. It is possible to get on board a Chinese tour bus for around 300 roubles. It is also ok to stand before the entrance to the border area and wait for a ride. As long as its not too cold, you shouldn't have any problem getting a ride. If you are not Chinese, Mongolian or Russian, prepare to be interrogated by the Russian border police about your journey. Coming from China is a similar process, however you will probably not be interrogated. ==== [[Estonia]] ==== It is possible to cross the border by foot. ==== [[Finland]] ==== * [[Torfyanovka-Valimaa border crossing‎]] * [[Brusnichnoe-Nuijamaa border crossing]] ==== [[Georgia]] ==== The [[Verkhny Lars-Darial Gorge border crossing|Verkhny Lars - Darial Gorge crossing]] was reopened on March 1st, 2010 and since July 2011 is open for international travellers as well. Getting into [[Georgia]] via [[Abkhazia]] is not possible. For more specific information, check the [[Abkhazia]] article. ==== [[Kazakhstan]] ==== ==== [[Latvia]] ==== It's no problem to walk over the checkpoints between Latvia and Russia. * [[Terehova-Zasitino border crossing]], towards [[Riga]] ==== [[Lithuania]] ==== No border from Lithuania to the main land of Russia (so you have to go via Latvia), but there are several border crossings between Lithuania and Russia's [[Kaliningrad Oblast]] * [[Chernyshevskoye-Kybartai border crossing]] ==== [[Mongolia]] ==== ==== [[North_Korea|North Korea]] ==== As there is currently no chance for independent travelling/hitch hiking in North Korea, there is also no possibility to cross the border by hitch hiking. ==== [[Norway]] ==== The high amount of security between Murmansk and the border with Norway is a relic of Soviet rule, when people could escape into Norway without fear of being deported, unlike Finland. You will find that it isn't possible to walk to the border. From about 5 km out you will need to be in a vehicle. However, hitching is no problem, provided your documents and registration are in order (they will be checked). The army may also assist you in getting a ride at the military check points. If you are leaving Russia, prepare to be interrogated at the Russian side of the border about your journey. ==== [[Poland]] ==== * [[Bagrationovsk-Bezledy border crossing]] with Russia's [[Kaliningrad Oblast]] ==== [[Ukraine]] ==== The country is Russia's eternal 'native brother' and, despite all the political mess that constantly happens between the two states, [[Ukraine]] is one of the countries that is very easy to enter from Russia (Russians do not even need a foreign passport to enter it, as well as for [[Belarus]]). Make sure that the border crossing is working before attempting to use it. The big gate on the M2/E95 road ([[Moscow]] to [[Kharkiv]]) can be crossed on foot, which is very convenient because you do not have to wait in the line of the cars and you wont make your driver wait for you in case you have any delays with your passport. You will have to leave the car before all the checkpoints begin, though, or you will be considered a car passenger by the border police. }} * [https://www.facebook.com/groups/FREE.NOMADS/permalink/1576276415917407/ Russian music thread on FB] for inspiration [[trash:Russia]] [[couch:Russia]] pxbs8raewsm2rmtyvp0n7zuthyjlcj5 0 356 1008 2014-05-12T11:05:09Z Guaka 1 Created page with "{{country}}" 1008 wikitext text/x-wiki {{country}} aveafnj59lu78pn5ngaw1rupb4xrreb 1009 1008 2014-05-12T11:05:19Z Guaka 1 1009 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Country |visa= ===Ankara=== '''Ankara''' is the capital of [[Turkey]] ==Embassies== ===[[Syria]]=== Embassy: Abdulhahcevdet Sok. no 7 Cankaya, Ankara Tel: 312-440-9657 ===Istanbul=== '''Istanbul''' is [[Turkey]]'s biggest city and partly [[Europe]]an, partly [[Asia]]n.

Turkish people are usually very similar to Mediterranean (Southern Spain, Italy, Greece, some Arab countries like Tunisia, etc) family, society, reputation (job, social status, etc) are usually much more important, also in traveling/alternative environments, than for most of westerners. |transport=When you hitchhike in this country, people might try putting you on a ''dolmuş'' (mınıbus) or bringing you to the ''otogar'' (bus station). The dolmuş is the most common way of public transport inside and between cities & towns. These small buses that are advised to be used for small distances will stop anywhere on the road even if you don't signal them to stop. Generally, the ride on a dolmuş costs between 1 and 3 Lira. For larger distances buses (coaches) are more common. They provide reliable service and are pretty comfortable. Free tea and snacks are generally served along the way, and the buses tend to stop in nice [[rest area]]s. Some drivers who pick you up as a hitchhiker may try to convince you to take a bus. If you do end up on a bus they are relatively cheap although not as cheap as trains which are slower but more adventurous. Of the transportation options which involve payment, trains are by far the cheapest in the country, especially if you are under 27, when you are entitled to a 20% discount on already cheap fares. However, as the network doesn't reach far and wide, most of what is interesting in Turkey is out of rail coverage, though they are still a good bet if you need a night's sleep during the ride, especially in inland regions where rail network is relatively denser. |accommodation=* Hosting: Check [https://www.facebook.com/groups/couchRail/ CouchRail FB group] — just message people [https://www.facebook.com/groups/couchRail/permalink/450924985047617/ on the list] or post to the wall.

Most of these offer a warm and fairly safe place to spend a night. Nonetheless, be careful and try to place your luggage in such a way so that you are surely to be awaken in case if someone tries to take your things. Smaller towns outside the main tourist areas have very cheap hotels, starting at 8TL. Outside of populated areas, almost every gas station has a prayer rom called a ''mescit'' (pronounced: ''MES-jeet''), which are good places for sleeping. Just be respectful respect of their religion, take off your shoes, wash your hands and feet, and don't sleep by the wall where the ''mihrab'' (prayer niche) is. Don't ask gas station staff if you can sleep there because they will probably say no, but once you are inside, nobody will disturb you. Many truck drivers will have an extra bunk in their truck cabin, and they are usually happy to offer it to a hitchhiker. Wild camping is pretty much possible, OK, and legal except in large urban agglomerations. Just be discreet and keep out of sight of houses and roads. Private property such as farmland and oliveyards are technically off limits, but if you arrive late, break camp early and leave no trace of your stay (i.e. take your rubbish with you and do not damage crops), it is no problem at all to camp at those places. Beware of fires, though, as most of Turkey lies in Mediterranean climatic zone which is very arid in summer, most of the country's terrain is naturally covered with dry grasses in summer months. So while wild camping, try to avoid the temptation to build campfires; even cigarette butts that are not properly distinguished and disposed of can result in damages that you can't even dream of. Another thing to take note of while camping is the scorpions (''akrep'' in Turkish), especially in southern Mediterranean coast and in southeastern parts of the country—keep the zip of your tent and backpack always locked, check and shake your shoes before putting them on. |bewelcome-link=http://www.bewelcome.org/places/Turkey/TR |food=You will never have to worry about lack of [[food]] in Turkey. Many truck drivers have coffee makers in their truck. Turkish people are very generous, and it is rare that you will get a lift without a driver offering you food. The food in Turkey is relatively cheap, and is very meat-based. There is also a variety of a good local produce of tasty sweets and snacks. The tea (black tea or apple tea in Istanbul) is ''the'' national drink, and almost all the people that you meet offer you a tea − this is probably the most common way of showing you their hospitable culture. A great way to reduce your bottled water costs, especially in the hot southern/Mediterranean coast of Turkey is to use free cold water dispensers, locally called ''sebil'' (pronounced ''SAY-beel''), which can usually be found on the sides of the streets and mosque courtyards in less-touristed towns and neighbourhoods in Mediterranean Turkey. They look like small, white refrigators and usually have two faucets: red one delivers warm (or mildly hot depending on the weather) water, while the blue one offers comfortably cold water. Though the water coming out of the faucets is not from a commercially-bottled jar, and likely from the city water network, it's harmless and causes no stomach upsets. A way to reduce the risk may be allowing yourself a week after arrival in the region to get accustomed to local microflora and -fauna that may be present in the water and then taking full advantage of ''sebil''s. |connectivity=Public wifi not much spread though many cafes with wifi and internet cafes with computers. |busking=Even though the currency is not the best to busk (1TL is the most valuable coin and is worth less than 0.50€) Turkish people, especially in big cities like [[Istanbul]], [[Izmir]], [[Antalya]] and [[Ankara]], seem appreciate street music and art paying pretty well for it. Maybe not the best plan for saving but definitely a very good option to cover all your expenses. |visa=Visas can no longer be obtained on arrival, so if you are a nationality that needs a visa, be sure to buy it online in advance. See [http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Turkey Wikivoyage] for detailed information on visa matters. ===Overstaying visa in Turkey=== http://www.expatguideturkey.com/the-consequences-of-overstaying-in-turkey/ Punishment for overstaying consists of two parts: fine and re-entry ban. The way these punishments are applied is unclear and more personal experience is needed. Supposedly if you don't pay the fine you can get re-entry ban for 5 years. Experiences of people who stayed in Turkey longer than they should (i.e. more than 90 out of every 180 days) vary. It is often stated that the fine depends on mood of border officers. Some said they had to pay 300 TLY for 3 days overstay (Istanbul airport). Others talk about 100 TLY for one month overstay. In March 2015 we overstayed a few days in Turkey (czech and polish passports). On border crossing in Ipsala (TR-Greece) we left the country without anybody mentioning anything. What will happen on re-entering is still unclear. ===Embassies=== '''Ankara''' is the capital of [[Turkey]] ====[[Syria]]==== Embassy: Abdulhahcevdet Sok. no 7 Cankaya, Ankara Tel: 312-440-9657 ====Istanbul==== '''Istanbul''' is [[Turkey]]'s biggest city and partly [[Europe]]an, partly [[Asia]]n.

You generally should obtain your visa in advance, although European Union citizens can obtain visas upon arrival at the airport (10,000 CFA). If you are not from the European Union, the cost of a 3-month, 1 entry visa is 28 300 CFA, and must be acquired in advance of your journey. The BF embassy in Washington offers six-month, multiple-entry visas for US$100. US citizens only are eligible for a five-year, multiple-entry visa for US$100. Also check out the [[Entente Visa]] that is valid for several other West African countries. If coming by land EU and US citizens are able to get a seven day single entry visa for 10,000 CFA at the border. As of July 1st, 2010, at the border to Ghana at Paga, they increased the price to 94,000 CFA, payable in cash (and the exchange rate offered at the border was 10-20% lower than market rates). No passport photos were required. They only were able to issue a 90 day visa. 2 passport photos and a yellow fever certificate are required (border crossing at Paga, in July 2010, did not ask for yellow fever certificate). Border police said that 10,000 CFA visas were still available, but back in Accra. Border police also said that the 90 day visa was convertible at no cost to a 5 year visa for a USA passport in Ouagadougou. Visas may be extended to 3 months multiple entry at the ''Bureau de Sureté de l'Etat'' which can be found in most major cities. To get the extension you should arrive before 9AM (again with 2 passport photographs) and collect your passport again that afternoon. Upon arrival, you may be asked to prove you've been vaccinated against Yellow Fever if you are traveling from within Africa. Failure to provide proof may result in either being forced to receive the vaccination at the airport, for a fee, or be refused entry into the country. {{IsIn|West Africa}} [[hitch:Burkina Faso]] 3rsbmgwr1pqttocl3btzcbt2llebo0k 1015 1014 2014-05-12T11:07:04Z Guaka 1 1015 wikitext text/x-wiki '''Burkina Faso''' formerly '''Upper Volta''', is a landlocked country in [[West Africa]].

However, there are rural places that are easy to reach from city centres, such as the mountains outside of Seoul. If you don't mind sleeping in the streets, city parks are very good option, being central with clean toilets nearby. The only problem is that Koreans love their early morning sports. In cities you can usually find a Korean sauna (jjimjilbang) with a sleeping room for a few dollars. Koreans, even though they are shy, do invite people to their homes and it is common. Because of their harsh history feel the need to help a stranded traveler, even more so if you have a bit of a story to tell.

Tehran [[Iran]] (maybe also Mashhad) is a good spot to get it but Astana [[Kazakhstan]], Tashkent [[Uzbekistan]] and other places like New Delhi [[India]] could also be an option. }} [[couch:Afghanistan]] h0zsd2kg2xpwppmknpytq639amox6lk 0 368 1038 2014-05-12T11:17:04Z Guaka 1 Created page with "{{country}}" 1038 wikitext text/x-wiki {{country}} aveafnj59lu78pn5ngaw1rupb4xrreb 1039 1038 2014-05-12T11:17:10Z Guaka 1 1039 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Country |visa='''Turkmenistan''' is not the easiest country for visas.

You can pitch a tent in city parks and you will not be disturbed. See Wikivoyage’s guide to [http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Urban_camping_in_japan Urban Camping in Japan] for more. While on the road, you will often find yourself at either a ''michi no eki'' (道の駅, serving the toll-free national roads) or service area (SA, on the highway) at the end of the day. Both are usually great for camping as they have food, 24 hour toilets and vending machines. Staff will usually not care about you pitching a tent, although asking permission first is a good idea. A short ''tento wo hatte mo ii desu ka?'' (テントを張ってもいいですか？) will suffice. Generally, the person who you ask this to will point out an area where you can put down your tent for the night. If you don't feel like sleeping outside but still want a guaranteed budget option anywhere in Japan, you can go to the internet cafe (ネットカフェー). These places offer free drinks, a private cabin with a tatami floor, and sometimes shower, usually for a mere ¥2000 per 9~12 hours. These are '''always''' located in bigger towns very close to the station area. Ask around (''nettokafee arimasu ka?'' ネットカフェーありますか？). From a service area, you generally have two ways of getting to one. The first is to get out of the service area and search for a busy local road lined with shops. Ask any local you run into. Another option is to ask the staff of the service area for the nearest bus station: ''chikaku ni wa basutei mo arimasu ka?'' (近くにはバス停もありますか？). You might end up being driven there by the staff. Busses from a service area will generally go to nearby train stations, where you can find an internet cafe. |bewelcome-link=http://www.bewelcome.org/places/Japan/JP |visa=* Visitors from 59 countries can visit Japan without a visa, including most Western nations, and can obtain a 90-day "landing permission" on arrival (many European nationalities are permitted up to 180 days). == Passport == * Passport valid for the duration of intended stay in Japan required by all nationals. == Visa requirements == * (a) 1. nationals of [[Austria]], [[Germany]], [[Ireland]], [[United Kingdom |UK]] (UK citizens), [[Liechtenstein]], [[Mexico]] and [[Switzerland]] for a stay of up to 6 months*; * (b) 2. nationals of all other EU countries not mentioned under (a) for a stay of up to 3 months (except persons whose passport was originally issued in present or former Portuguese colonial territories who do require a visa); * (c) 3. nationals of [[Andorra]], [[Australia]], [[Argentina]], [[Bahamas]], [[Barbados]], [[Canada]], [[Chile]], [[Colombia]], [[Costa Rica]], [[Croatia]], [[Cyprus]], [[Dominican Republic]], [[El Salvador]], [[Estonia]], [[Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia]], [[Guatemala]], [[Honduras]], [[Hungary]], [[Iceland]], [[Israel]], [[Lesotho]], [[Malta]], [[Mauritius]], [[Monaco]], [[New Zealand]], [[Norway]], [[Poland]], [[San Marino]], [[Singapore]], [[Slovenia]], [[Surinam]], [[Tunisia]], [[Turkey]], [[Uruguay]] and [[United States of America |the USA]] for a stay of up to 90 days; * (d) nationals of [[Brunei]] for a touristic stay of up to 14 days. ==Types of visa and cost== * '''Tourist visa:''' application to be obtained from the embassy of Japan on hand.

European visa policy will be covered in the article about the EU. In brief, a visa to any other signatory state of the Schengen Agreement is valid in France too. No visa is required for citizens of other EU member states, and those of some selected nations with whom the European Union or France have special treaties. Inquire at your travel agent or call the local consulate or embassy of France. '''Paris''' is the capital of [[France]] and home to numerous [[embassies]]. == Visa requirements == Depending on the length of the stay, as well as nationality, a visa may not be required. Nationals of the following "Schengen Agreement" countries may not require a visa: [[Austria]], [[Belgium]], [[Germany]], [[Greece]], [[Italy]], [[Luxembourg]], [[Netherlands]], [[Spain]], [[Portugal]]. * For a stay of up to 90 days, nationalities exempted from a short stay visa are also exempted from requesting a student visa if the total stay in France does not exceed 90 days. * However, if a student decides to stay one day longer or more after the end of the school period, he/she must apply for a temporary long stay visa (up to 6 months) BEFORE leaving for France. * If you are studying for longer than 6 months, you’ll need a long stay visa : this type of visa allows its holder to request a temporary residence permit ("Carte de séjour") at a French Prefecture. You must apply within two months after the date of your arrival to France. Living in France for longer than 6 months without a residence permit is illegal. == Types of visa and cost == * A uniform Schengen visa is issued for Short-stay visits (tourist, business and students), Airport transit, Transit and Long-validity (circulation) visits. * Visa application fees must be paid at the time of application. No visa application fee can be refunded, whatever the result of the application. * All Schengen visa applications are now charged at €35, irrespective of the duration of stay requested (except for long-stay visas: stays over 90 days). The fee remains payable in Pounds Sterling only, approximately £22-26. {{Newsbox|'''French Visa Policy Now Tougher For Chinese''', The French Consulate and Embassy has made its visa application tougher for Chinese tourists by asking for more personal data and bank savings information.

European visa policy will be covered in the article about the EU. In brief, a visa to any other signatory state of the Schengen Agreement is valid in France too. No visa is required for citizens of other EU member states, and those of some selected nations with whom the European Union or France have special treaties. Inquire at your travel agent or call the local consulate or embassy of France. '''Paris''' is the capital of [[France]] and home to numerous [[embassies]]. == Visa requirements == Depending on the length of the stay, as well as nationality, a visa may not be required. Nationals of the following "Schengen Agreement" countries may not require a visa: [[Austria]], [[Belgium]], [[Germany]], [[Greece]], [[Italy]], [[Luxembourg]], [[Netherlands]], [[Spain]], [[Portugal]]. * For a stay of up to 90 days, nationalities exempted from a short stay visa are also exempted from requesting a student visa if the total stay in France does not exceed 90 days. * However, if a student decides to stay one day longer or more after the end of the school period, he/she must apply for a temporary long stay visa (up to 6 months) BEFORE leaving for France. * If you are studying for longer than 6 months, you’ll need a long stay visa : this type of visa allows its holder to request a temporary residence permit ("Carte de séjour") at a French Prefecture. You must apply within two months after the date of your arrival to France. Living in France for longer than 6 months without a residence permit is illegal. == Types of visa and cost == * A uniform Schengen visa is issued for Short-stay visits (tourist, business and students), Airport transit, Transit and Long-validity (circulation) visits. * Visa application fees must be paid at the time of application. No visa application fee can be refunded, whatever the result of the application. * All Schengen visa applications are now charged at €35, irrespective of the duration of stay requested (except for long-stay visas: stays over 90 days). The fee remains payable in Pounds Sterling only, approximately £22-26. {{Newsbox|'''French Visa Policy Now Tougher For Chinese''', The French Consulate and Embassy has made its visa application tougher for Chinese tourists by asking for more personal data and bank savings information. From July 19, local media reports that the French Consulate has asked each travel agency to submit more materials for visa applications for their tourists and has asked tourists to provide two current bankbooks instead of one. One of the deposit books must reportedly be opened a year before the visa application is submitted. July 25, 2007.

Visa to Vietnam can be obtained directly through Vietnamese embassies in your countries or via a travel agent. == Passport == * Passport valid for at least 6 months months in order to get a visa to Vietnam. == Visa requirements == * Only citizens of certain countries can visit Vietnam without an entry visa (valid for visit within 30 days). Those countries include: most Asean countries, [[Korea]], [[Japan]] & Scandinavians (2005). All other citizens are required to get an entry visa before departure or a pre-approved entry visa (visa is issued on arrival at Vietnam’s International Airports) supplied before arrival in Vietnam. * A fairly convoluted visa on arrival process has recently been introduced, but this requires a prior application to Hanoi and is generally intended mostly for groups and citizens of countries without Vietnamese embassies. == Types of visa and cost == * Diplomatic and official visa: No fees unless otherwise agreed upon between Vietnam and applicant’s country. On applying this visa, you must submit an official letter from the concerned agencies of local government, foreign embassies or consulates accredited to the country, international organizations, or other accredited organizations based in that country. * Business visa: On applying this visa, you should obtain an approval through your sponsor in Vietnam.

It has borders with the [[Palestinian territories]] ([[West Bank]] and [[Gaza Strip]]), [[Egypt]], [[Jordan]], [[Syria]], and [[Lebanon]]. The capital of Israel is [[Jerusalem]], but the economic center is [[Tel Aviv]]. The '''Dead Sea''', the lowest point on the face of planet [[Earth]] and one the most saltiest bodies of water on the planet, is shared between [[Israel]], [[Jordan]] and the [[West Bank]]. Israel is the only country in the world with a population of a Jewsish majority (75%). The non-Jewish population is mainly made of Arabs. Since its independence in 1948, Israel got into many conflicts with its neighbourd arabic countries. [[Egypt]] and [[Jordan]] signed a peace contract, but Israel is still in conflict with [[Syria]], [[Lebanon]], and the Palestinians. It is safe and nice to travel to Israel. |transport=It is very easy to [[hitchhike]] in Israel. The Israeli and Palestinian side has only one road, Road 90, which continues south towards [[Eilat]] and [[Egypt]], and north towards [[Jerusalem]], [[Tel Aviv]] and northenr Israel ([[Beit She'an]], [[Tiberias]], Sea of Galille, [[Golan Heights]] etc). Much of the public transportation is not running on Sabbath (from Friday night to Saturday night), especially in between cities. |accommodation=The Dead Sea does not offer too much accommodation options for the budget traveler. Paying accomodation is expensive, but [[hospitality exchange]] works. Wild camping in most of the places is very ok. You can even camp at night in parks or on beach in Tel-Aviv without troubles. It is also very easy to make friends and contacts, so it shouldn't be to hard to find a host, try to keep in touch with everybody you meet. One obvious option on the Israeli side is the [http://www.youth-hostels.org.il/youth-hostels/asg_e/Category_eng_60.html Ein Gedi Youth Hostel], Masada Youth Hostel or Ein Gedi field school (it's a hostel). Another option is [[Camping]], which is possible in all the seasons of the year. Camping can be done only in designated areas: # Ein Bokek beach (a very good option, toilets, shower and lots of cafes and restaurant around) - two sites: in front of David hotel, in front of Isrotel Dead Sea hotel. # Desert camping sites (no services at all) such as near the foot of Masada National Park, or at Nahal Rahaf (Rahaf (dry) stream) close to highway 90, between Masada and Ein Bokek |bewelcome-link=http://www.bewelcome.org/places/Israel/IL |food=Food is not cheap. The general cost of life in Israel is actually pretty high, even more expensive than many European countries. But you can find some cheap things. Veggies in the markets can be cheap, and [[dumpster diving]] in the market and in general is very easy. Especially on Friday before Sabbath, when you can find a lot of food thrown away before the week end. In some places you can also find cheap falafel pita, for 5 or 6 shekels, which is like a small but good meal for just a bit more than 1€. For 10 to 20 shekels (2,5€ to 5€), you can have a plate full of Hummus with bread, and it will fill you for a good part of the day. Otherwise the best is to buy Hummus in the supermarket, for something like 10-15 shekels the kilo, with pita bread sometimes as cheap as 5 shekels for 10-15 pitas. |connectivity=You can find many places with free wifi. Otherwise many Israelis have internet on their phones and are very happy to help you. |visa=Citizens from most [[Europe |European]], [[North America |North American]] and [[South America|South American]] countries do not need a visa prior to arrival. Note that [[Germany |German]] citizens born before January 1, 1928, do have to apply for a visa in advance. This visa will be given if you were not heavily involved in events during the Nazi era and will be valid for the whole time your passport is valid. Further note that in some Arab states it constitutes a crime for their citizens to enter Israel at all. Even if you're an Arab-born citizen of a [[Europe |European]] or [[North America |North American]] country having entered Israel may have consequences when returning to your country of birth. [[File:IsraelVisaPolicy.PNG|thumb|right|600px]] ===Avoiding countries to know you have been to Israel=== Because Israel is in war with other Arab countries, an Israeli stamp on your passport will block you entry to countries like [[Iran]], [[Lebanon]], [[Syria]], [[Sudan]]. When arriving, it is advised to get your visa on a separate paper that you should not loose while in Israel. You just need to ask for it, it is easy to get. If you then leave by plane or boat, no problem. But if you want to leave by land (through [[Egypt]] or [[Jordan]]), there is a chance that the Arab countries discover you were in Israel: on the stamp of entry to Egypt or Jordan, the name of the boarder is written and is a proof you have been to Israel. So if you are unlucky, a police officer at the boarder of a 'forbidden country' might see it and you will not get visa. But leaving Israel to Jordan, you can ask to have the Jordanian visa on a separate paper as well, which makes you untraceable. It might work for Egypt as well, but this need to be checked witht the embassy. Be very careful when you ask on a separate paper that the police officer does not forget and '''keep a fixed eye on your passport''' during all the procedure, because if he is tired, doesn't understand well English or else, he might do whatever. This is also true the other way around: if you wish to visit first Jordan and then Israel crossing by land, it might be worth to ask the Jordanian visa on separate paper. All this was true in July 2015. === Aliyah === If you are Jewish, or if your father, mother, grandfather or grandmother is Jewish, you can "make Aliyah", meaning that you can emigrate to Israel and you will usually be able to acquire a passport within 1 year. Note that there are several downsides to this, as you won't be able to visit many countries anymore - legally Israelis are not allowed to visit Palestinian zone A areas in the [[West Bank]], "enemy countries" such as [[Iran]], [[Lebanon]], [[Syria]], [[Sudan]] and a couple more.

No restaurant will serve anything vegan. As a vegetarian you're down to pizzas. While Argentina is quite famous for it's meaty cuisine, [[User:MOAH|Mind of a Hitchhiker]] strongly disagrees with the above statement. In major cities like Buenos Aires, Rosario and Cordoba, there's little Chinese buffet places that only serve vegetarian and vegan food. They weigh your food and it costs about 50 pesos (January 2017) for one person to get full - like ''really'' rolling out the door full. They're often in the downtown areas of larger cities. For vegetarians, ''empanadas'' are the most reliable source of food, country wide. They're sold at bakeries, pizzerias and their own special shops. If you have your own cooking equipment, you have loads of freedom to make nice food. You can get a half kilo pack of polenta (corn porridge) for cheap and buy some (already spiced) tomato sauce with it and prepare it with water whenever you like. Add cheese to change it from vegan to vegetarian or add more veggies when you're feeling elaborate. Argentina's supermarkets have a large soup section too. They're vegan. Get the delicious ''zapallo'' (pumpkin) soup and a bag of egg-less letter pasta (it's both fun and space-optimized) to make the soup filling. ''Buen provecho'', you crazy vegan. |connectivity=Gas stations are plentiful and as of 2017, almost all of them offer free WiFi!

Some of the borders might not have their immigration (''immigracion'') at the border itself, but in the nearest town before the official line. Therefore, the no man's land might be walkable or not, depending on the location. Check on a map where you need to stamp in/out before you go to avoid backtracking. Visitors of most countries still need to apply for a tourist visa before traveling to '''Argentina'''. However, for many [[Europe]]ans the visa is a small stamp that can be obtained at the border for no charge - just like most countries in [[South America]]. === Passport === * Passport valid for six months required by all except nationals of [[Brazil]], [[Chile]], [[Paraguay]] and [[Uruguay]] who, for journeys that do not go beyond Argentina and these five countries, may use their national ID cards. === Visa requirements === * Required by all except the following: (a) nationals of the countries shown in the section above for stays of up to 90 days;<br> (b) nationals of [[Andorra]], [[Barbados]], [[Bolivia]], [[Brazil]], [[Chile]], [[Colombia]], [[Costa Rica]], [[Croatia]], [[Dominican Republic]], [[East Timor]], [[Ecuador]], [[El Salvador]], [[Grenada]], [[Guatemala]], [[Guyana]], [[Haiti]], [[Honduras]], [[Iceland]], [[Israel]], Korea (Rep), [[Liechtenstein]], (Former Yugoslav Republic of) [[Macedonia]], [[Mexico]], [[Monaco]], [[New Zealand]], [[Nicaragua]], [[Norway]], [[Panama]], [[Paraguay]], [[Peru]], St Lucia, St Vincent & Grenadines, San Marino, Serbia & Montenegro, [[Singapore]], [[South Africa]], [[Switzerland]], Trinidad & Tobago, [[Turkey]], [[Uruguay]], [[Vatican City]] and [[Venezuela]] for stays of up to 90 days;<br> (c) nationals of [[Jamaica]] and [[Malaysia]] for stays of up to 30 days; (d) transit passengers holding confirmed onward or return tickets for travel provided continuing their journey within six hours and not leaving the airport.<br> '''Note''': Visa exemptions mentioned above are for tourist purposes only. === Types of visa and cost === * The cost of visas changes monthly with exchange rates; further details can be obtained from the Consulate or Embassy * '''Tourist Visa''': If you are coming to Argentina on a holiday to explore the country, then, tourist visa is for you. * '''Business Visa''': For a business related trip, you need to apply for the business visa. * '''Student Visa''': For study purpose in Argentina is the student visa. The visa costs approximately $100, plus around $50 for additional paperwork fees (processed in approximately a week). For a working visa , you can either get your prospective company to approach immigration in Argentina with the contract and arrange for an entrance permit to be sent to your respective consulate, or take your work contract, authorized by an Argentinian public notary, to the consulate yourself and the consulate will obtain the work permit from Buenos Aires. Expect the process to take at least a month. Work permits cost $200, and the visa itself another $100. Both student and working visas can be extended only in the Dirección de Migraciones.

You have to cross the ''Puente Internacional General Artigas'', the impressive bridge that crosses between the two countries. The stamp in/out is on the Uruguayan side of the river, so '''there's no no man's land''' in between the countries. When leaving Uruguay from Paysandu, [[User:MOAH|Mind of a Hitchhiker]] only got an entry stamp to Argentina and no exit stamp in her EU passport. Upon further inquiry, this was deemed not necessary at this border by immigration officials. It's safe to assume that when you enter Uruguay from Argentina at this border, you'll also not receive an exit stamp from Argentina, but will receive an entry stamp from Uruguay. When going to Paysandu, you'll have to follow the road that loops back under the bridge and then continues to Paysandu town and the Ruta 3 of Uruguay, which leads all the way to [[Montevideo]]. There's a little tax free shop at the border. Nothing special Argentinian border crossings are pretty laid back. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] crossed 4 times in 2006 and doesn't have clear memories about it (meaning it's not that a big deal). You better avoid changing money at the border crossings though. See the currency section above. [[United States]] citizens must pay a $160 recipricocity fee to enter the country from any border. They are quite strict about this. [http://www.migraciones.gov.ar/accesible Pay it here] - As of '''March 2016''', Americans no longer have to pay if staying less than 90 days and visiting for tourism. Canadian citizens need to pay a US$92 reciprocity fee as well. Can be paid on the same website as US citizens. For a list of checkpoints see [[Argentina/Checkpoints]] }} == Vaccinations == In many hospitals around the country anyone can get FREE vaccinations such as ones for yellow fever, etc. == Money == Don´t change your money at a bank or casa de cambio- they will give you the official rate set by the government, about 10pesos/USD. Better do it on the black market where the rate is about 15pesos/USD. You can see the exact unofficial rate at http://dolarblue.net/ so you don´t get ripped off. In Buenos Aires you can change your money by going up to anyone yelling "cambio" on the street La Florida. Check the money carefully to be sure you aren´t buying counterfeits! In other major cities, walk down the main pedestrian road in the center and maybe you will find an "arbolito" ("little tree") who will change it. Otherwise, ask your host or friends if they want to buy your dollars. Update: as of December 2015 the new government removed the official USD rate control. The "blue dollar" is within 0.50 pesos of the official rate now. And the only way to get the "blue dollar" rate is with perfect condition $100 bills. As at early February 2016 the blue rate was 15.4 pesos, the official rate was 15.2 pesos, and the rate for an average condition US$20 bill was 13.5 pesos.

Reudnitz kommt.|Craig]] tries thumbing up lifts at Bukit Ayer Hitam border (Thailand).]] At the ''Bukit Ayer Hitam'' border with Thailand [[User:Halt, Stop! Reudnitz kommt.|Craig]] wasn't allowed to ask motorists in the car immigration area for a lift [http://thumbingasia.blogspot.com/]. Go to the rest area and ask there or just walk 5-10 minutes to the first crossing where you can stop cars easily. ==== [[Brunei]] (East Malaysia or [[Borneo]]) ==== Malaysians are paranoid about immigrations issues, so if you go from Eastern Malaysia to [[Brunei]] you get your passport stamped like crazy. To be more specific, as of 2012, there are five border crossings between Kota Kinabalu (in Sabah, Malaysia) and Miri (Sarawak, Malaysia), each giving you two stamps (one when entering, one when leaving): # Sabah to Sarawak # Sarawak to Brunei # Brunei to Sarawak again # Sarawak to Brunei again # Brunei to Sarawak once again. None of these should take long - just a stamp and that's it. You can even tell the officers that you want the stamps on older pages to preserve space. They are all quite understanding. ==== [[Indonesia]] ==== There is a ferry from [[Malacca]] to [[Dumai]], [[Indonesia]] (20 USD) and police will give you real trouble if you try to leave by cargo boat (if you can even enter the port. If you make it please inform us here.) In [[George Town]] there's a small marina with private yachts. But it's easier to get a free ride with a boat in [[Langkawi]]. Most of the boats go to Indonesia. ==== [[Sarawak]] (Borneo) to [[Indonesia]] ==== At Entikong crossing, You can get a visa on arrival at this border (35 USD in 2015). There is not so much traffic to the border. Once across the border try get a ride with one of the trucks, almost all of them go to [[Pontianak]]. Usually many of them go in the afternoon and arrive in the morning in [[Pontianak]]. ==== From [[Sabah]] (Borneo) to Indonesia ==== There is no road crossing! You have to get a visa before (easy to get in [[Tawau]]). The only option seems to be speedboat to [[Tarakan]] or [[Nunukan]]. Cost to Nunukan should be about 65 MYR. From Nunukan there are PELNI boats about every three days, plus select ferries, so plenty of options to get to Sulawesi, East&South Kalimantan and further afield.

In Bali, for instance, there are no trains and only one airport [http://www.columbusdirect.com.au/content/the-ultimate-bali-travel-guide/#gettingAround], so the most convenient way to get around is to rent a car or motorcycle. Taxis are also fairly affordable, and if you don’t know your way around or aren’t used to the traffic and road conditions, hiring a taxi will be a lot less stressful. If the taxi isn’t metered, however, be sure to negotiate the price with your driver beforehand. Java and Sumatra, on the other hand, do have their own train services, which are affordable and easy to use. Train tickets are sold directly from ticket offices located at the train stations where you will also find information about destinations, train schedules and fares. The three classes of trains are economy (Ekonomi), business (Bisnis) and executive (Eksecutif). Economy class tickets can be paid for on the day of travel, but seats may be sold out during busier times of year. Executive and business class seats must be reserved in advance. If you’re looking for a more local travel experience, you can also take one of the many public buses or mini vans known as “bemos.” Most towns have their own bus terminal where you can catch one, but keep in mind that while bemos are cheap, they also tend to be cramped and don’t follow the most direct routes, so taking one can be unnecessarily time-consuming. [[Hitchhiking]] in Indonesia is uncommon but not impossible. Rather than sticking out your thumb to signal to vehicles, you can try waving cars or trucks down and then asking “Bisa ikut gratis?” which means “Can we join for free?” Holding up a sign that says “Nebeng,” which is Javanese slang for free lifts, can also help you signal to passing vehicles. |bewelcome-link=http://www.bewelcome.org/places/Indonesia/ID |connectivity=You can access the internet on your mobile phone by purchasing a pre-paid local SIM card on arrival, although this will only work for phones that have been unlocked. At the airport you’ll find kiosks selling pre-paid SIM cards and credit top-ups. Once your SIM card has been registered, you can ask the vendor to add credit to your mobile number in amounts of 10,000, 20,000 or 50,000 Rupiah, which can then be converted from call credit to data credit. If you’re only in the country for a few days and don’t want to bother with acquiring a local SIM card, many of the larger hotels, restaurants and coffee shops also offer free Wi-Fi. |visa=VISA – FREE SHORT VISIT FOR TOURISTS (As from 1st February 2004) In conjunction with the Presidential Decision No. 103/2003, signed by the President of the Republic of Indonesia on 17th December 2003 regarding the new visa policy, from the 1st February 2004, the following countries do not require a visa to enter Indonesia for a Tourist visit of up to 30 (thirty) days: 1 [[Brunei]] Darussalam 2 [[Chile]] 3 [[Hong Kong]] SAR 4 [[Macao]] SAR 5 [[Malaysia]] 6 [[Morocco]] 7 [[Peru]] 8 [[Philippines]] 9 [[Singapore]] 10 [[Thailand]] 11 [[Vietnam]] Please be advised that Visa-Free Short Visits may only be extended upon approval from the Minister of Justice and Human Rights/Director General of Immigration of the Republic of Indonesia based on natural disaster, illnes or accident, but cannot be transferred to another type of visa.

Curries, fruit shakes, stir fries, fresh seafood made many different ways, this is just a start. Food in Thailand is cheap and at 25 Thai baht (approximately $0.70 USD) you can get a pad thai (Thai fried noodles) cooked at a street stall or at a floating market [http://www.columbusdirect.com.au/content/the-ultimate-thailand-travel-guide/#whatToSeeThailand]. Food from stalls and tiny sidewalk restaurants is usually quite safe. At street restaurants, you can see what you'll get and everything is cooked on the spot. === Thai cuisine === Thai cuisine is characterized by balance and strong flavors, especially lime juice, lemon grass and fresh coriander. This combination gives Thai food its distinctive taste. In addition, Thai food has a deserved reputation for being spicy, with hot chili used in many dishes. Thai dishes can be roughly categorized into central Thai food (around Bangkok), northern Thai food (North Thailand around Chiang Mai, with Burmese and Chinese influence), north-eastern Thai food (from the Isaan region bordering Laos) and southern Thai food (with heavy influences from Malaysia). The following list covers some better-known dishes. '''Rice''' The Thai staple food is rice (ข้าว ''khao''), so much so that in Thai eating a meal, ''kin khao'', literally means "eat rice". * ''Khao suai'' (ข้าวสวย) or "beautiful rice" is the plain white steamed rice that serves as the base of almost every meal. * ''Khao phat'' (ข้าวผัด) is simple fried rice, usually with some pork (''muu'') or chicken (''kai'') mixed in. * ''Khao tom'' (ข้าวต้ม) is a salty and watery rice porridge served with condiments, quite popular at breakfast. * ''Khao niao'' (ข้าวเหนียว) or "sticky rice" is glutinous rice - usually eaten dry, traditionally by hand, with grilled/fried pork or chicken or beef. It is especially popular (more than plain rice) in North-Eastern (Isan) and Northern provinces, but is widely available throughout the country, especially in places specializing on Isan or Lao cuisine. * ''Khao Chae'' (ข้าวแช่)is a croquette. Polished rice soaked with cold water. Which is often a barracuda. Then eat with rice variety. '''Noodles''' [[Image:Sriwan KuayTiow.JPG|thumb|''Kuay tiao phat sii-u kai'', or fried giant rice noodles with soy sauce and chicken]] Thais are great noodle eaters. The most common kind is rice noodles, served angel-hair (เส้นหมี่ ''sen mii''), small (เส้นเล็ก ''sen lek'') and large (เส้นใหญ่ ''sen yai''), but egg noodles (บะหมี่ ''ba mii''), Chinese-style stuffed wonton ravioli (เกี๊ยว ''kio'') and glass noodles made from mung beans (วุ้นเส้น ''wun sen'') are also popular. Unlike other Thai foods, noodles are usually eaten with chopsticks. They are also usually served with a rack of four condiments, namely dried red chillies , fish sauce, vinegar and sugar which diners can add to their own taste. * ''Phad Thai'' (ผัดไทย), literally "Thai stir-fry", means thin rice noodles fried in a tamarind-based sauce. Ubiquitous, cheap and often excellent - and as an added bonus, it's usually chili-free (you can add yourself, however, or ask to do if buying of the street - but be warned, it is often ''really'' hot). Can be made vegetarian, with shrimp, pork, or chicken. * ''Ba mii muu daeng'' (บะหมี่หมูเเดง) yellow egg noodles with slices of red (barbecued) pork. * ''Guay dtiao ruea'' (ก๋วยเตี๋ยวเรือ) is a rice noodle soup with a fiery pork blood stock and an assortment of offal. An acquired taste, but an addictive one. * "Kanom Jeen" (ขนมจีน) can be divided into two types - famentation flour and newly-milk flour - In each region of Thailand has different eating depend on local. The big festival of Kanom Jeen will be on March every year district Thug Song at Nakon Sri Thammarat. '''Soups and curries''' The line between soups (ต้ม ''tom'', literally just "boiled") and curries (แกง ''kaeng'') is a little fuzzy, and many dishes the Thais call curries would be soups to an Indian. A plate of rice with a ladleful of a curry or two on top, known as ''khao kaeng'' (ข้าวแกง), is a very popular quick meal if eating alone. * ''Tom yam goong'' (ต้มยำกุ้ง) is the quintessential Thai dish, a spicy, sour soup with prawns, lemongrass and galangal. The real thing is quite spicy, but toned-down versions are often available on request. * ''Tom kha gai'' (ต้มข่าไก่) is the Thai version of chicken soup in a rich galangal-flavored coconut stock, with mushrooms and not a few chillies. * ''Gaeng ped'' (แกงเผ็ด, "red curry") this coconut-based red curry dish can be spicy. Red curry with roast duck (''kaeng phet Bped yaang'' แกงเผ็ดเป็ดย่าง) is particularly tasty. * ''Gaeng kheow-waan'' (แกงเขียวหวาน), sweet green curry, is a coconut-based curry with strong accents of lemongrass and kaffir lime. Usually milder than the red variety. * ''Gaeng som'' (แกงส้ม), orange curry, is more like tamarind soup than curry, usually served with pieces of herb omelette in the soup. '''Mains''' Thais like their mains fried (ทอด ''thot'' or ผัด ''phat'') or grilled (''yaang'' ย่าง). Fish, in particular, is often deep-fried until the meat turns brown and crispy. * ''Ka-phrao kai'' (กะเพราไก่), literally "basil chicken" is a simple but intensely fragrant stir-fry made from peppery holy basil leaves, chillies and chicken. '''Salads''' [[Image:SomTam Larb StickyRice.JPG|thumb|A classic [[Isaan]] meal: ''som tam'' papaya salad, ''larb'' meat salad and sticky rice]] About the only thing Thai salads (ยำ ''yam'') have in common with the Western variety is that they are both based on raw vegetables. A uniquely Thai flavor is achieved by drowning the ingredients in fish sauce, lime juice and chillies - the end result can be very spicy indeed! * ''Som tam'' (ส้มตำ), a salad made from shredded and pounded raw papaya is often considered a classic Thai dish, but it actually originates from neighboring [[Laos]]. However, the Thai version is less sour and more sweet than the original, with peanuts and dried shrimp mixed in. * ''Yam ponlamai'' (ยำผลไม้) is Thai-style fruit salad, meaning that instead of canned maraschino cherries it has fresh fruit topped with oodles of fish sauce and chillies. * ''Yam som-o'' (ยำส้มโอ) is an unusual salad made from pomelo (a mutant version of grapefruit) and anything else on hand, often including chicken or dried shrimp. * ''Yam wunsen'' (ยำวุ้นเส้น) is perhaps the most common ''yam'', with glass noodles and shrimp. * '' Yum Tua Poo'' (ยำถั่วพลู) is a mellow mix of pork and shrimp. Of Winged Bean and crunchy sweet-sour flavor. The taste is a little spicy, exotic food. * ''Khanom'' (ขนม) covers a vast range of cookies, biscuits, chips and anything else snackable, and piles of the stuff can be found in any Thai office after lunch. One common variety called ''khanom khrok'' (ขนมครก) is worth a special mention: these are little lens-shaped pancakes of rice flour and coconut milk, freshly cooked and served by street vendors everywhere during the morning hours, but after that you might probably find it a bit difficult to find. * ''Khao niao ma-muang'' (ข้าวเหนียวมะม่วง) means "sticky rice with mango", and that's what you get, sweetened sticky rice and ripe mango with some coconut milk drizzled on top. Filling and delicious and an excellent way to cool the palate after a spicey Thai dish!

That said, Thailand is a Buddhist country and vegetarianism is a fairly well-understood concept, especially among Chinese Thais (many of whom eat only vegetarian food during several festivals). Tofu is a traditional Thai ingredient and they aren't afraid to mix it up in some non traditional dishes such as omelettes (with or without eggs), submarine sandwiches, and burritos. Since Thai dishes are usually made to order, it's easy to ask for anything on the menu to be made without meat or fish.

Curries, fruit shakes, stir fries, fresh seafood made many different ways, this is just a start. Food in Thailand is cheap and at 25 Thai baht (approximately $0.70 USD) you can get a pad thai (Thai fried noodles) cooked at a street stall or at a floating market [http://www.columbusdirect.com.au/content/the-ultimate-thailand-travel-guide/#whatToSeeThailand]. Food from stalls and tiny sidewalk restaurants is usually quite safe. At street restaurants, you can see what you'll get and everything is cooked on the spot. === Thai cuisine === Thai cuisine is characterized by balance and strong flavors, especially lime juice, lemon grass and fresh coriander. This combination gives Thai food its distinctive taste. In addition, Thai food has a deserved reputation for being spicy, with hot chili used in many dishes. Thai dishes can be roughly categorized into central Thai food (around Bangkok), northern Thai food (North Thailand around Chiang Mai, with Burmese and Chinese influence), north-eastern Thai food (from the Isaan region bordering Laos) and southern Thai food (with heavy influences from Malaysia). The following list covers some better-known dishes. '''Rice''' The Thai staple food is rice (ข้าว ''khao''), so much so that in Thai eating a meal, ''kin khao'', literally means "eat rice". * ''Khao suai'' (ข้าวสวย) or "beautiful rice" is the plain white steamed rice that serves as the base of almost every meal. * ''Khao phat'' (ข้าวผัด) is simple fried rice, usually with some pork (''muu'') or chicken (''kai'') mixed in. * ''Khao tom'' (ข้าวต้ม) is a salty and watery rice porridge served with condiments, quite popular at breakfast. * ''Khao niao'' (ข้าวเหนียว) or "sticky rice" is glutinous rice - usually eaten dry, traditionally by hand, with grilled/fried pork or chicken or beef. It is especially popular (more than plain rice) in North-Eastern (Isan) and Northern provinces, but is widely available throughout the country, especially in places specializing on Isan or Lao cuisine. * ''Khao Chae'' (ข้าวแช่)is a croquette. Polished rice soaked with cold water. Which is often a barracuda. Then eat with rice variety. '''Noodles''' [[Image:Sriwan KuayTiow.JPG|thumb|''Kuay tiao phat sii-u kai'', or fried giant rice noodles with soy sauce and chicken]] Thais are great noodle eaters. The most common kind is rice noodles, served angel-hair (เส้นหมี่ ''sen mii''), small (เส้นเล็ก ''sen lek'') and large (เส้นใหญ่ ''sen yai''), but egg noodles (บะหมี่ ''ba mii''), Chinese-style stuffed wonton ravioli (เกี๊ยว ''kio'') and glass noodles made from mung beans (วุ้นเส้น ''wun sen'') are also popular. Unlike other Thai foods, noodles are usually eaten with chopsticks. They are also usually served with a rack of four condiments, namely dried red chillies , fish sauce, vinegar and sugar which diners can add to their own taste. * ''Phad Thai'' (ผัดไทย), literally "Thai stir-fry", means thin rice noodles fried in a tamarind-based sauce. Ubiquitous, cheap and often excellent - and as an added bonus, it's usually chili-free (you can add yourself, however, or ask to do if buying of the street - but be warned, it is often ''really'' hot). Can be made vegetarian, with shrimp, pork, or chicken. * ''Ba mii muu daeng'' (บะหมี่หมูเเดง) yellow egg noodles with slices of red (barbecued) pork. * ''Guay dtiao ruea'' (ก๋วยเตี๋ยวเรือ) is a rice noodle soup with a fiery pork blood stock and an assortment of offal. An acquired taste, but an addictive one. * "Kanom Jeen" (ขนมจีน) can be divided into two types - famentation flour and newly-milk flour - In each region of Thailand has different eating depend on local. The big festival of Kanom Jeen will be on March every year district Thug Song at Nakon Sri Thammarat. '''Soups and curries''' The line between soups (ต้ม ''tom'', literally just "boiled") and curries (แกง ''kaeng'') is a little fuzzy, and many dishes the Thais call curries would be soups to an Indian. A plate of rice with a ladleful of a curry or two on top, known as ''khao kaeng'' (ข้าวแกง), is a very popular quick meal if eating alone. * ''Tom yam goong'' (ต้มยำกุ้ง) is the quintessential Thai dish, a spicy, sour soup with prawns, lemongrass and galangal. The real thing is quite spicy, but toned-down versions are often available on request. * ''Tom kha gai'' (ต้มข่าไก่) is the Thai version of chicken soup in a rich galangal-flavored coconut stock, with mushrooms and not a few chillies. * ''Gaeng ped'' (แกงเผ็ด, "red curry") this coconut-based red curry dish can be spicy. Red curry with roast duck (''kaeng phet Bped yaang'' แกงเผ็ดเป็ดย่าง) is particularly tasty. * ''Gaeng kheow-waan'' (แกงเขียวหวาน), sweet green curry, is a coconut-based curry with strong accents of lemongrass and kaffir lime. Usually milder than the red variety. * ''Gaeng som'' (แกงส้ม), orange curry, is more like tamarind soup than curry, usually served with pieces of herb omelette in the soup. '''Mains''' Thais like their mains fried (ทอด ''thot'' or ผัด ''phat'') or grilled (''yaang'' ย่าง). Fish, in particular, is often deep-fried until the meat turns brown and crispy. * ''Ka-phrao kai'' (กะเพราไก่), literally "basil chicken" is a simple but intensely fragrant stir-fry made from peppery holy basil leaves, chillies and chicken. '''Salads''' [[Image:SomTam Larb StickyRice.JPG|thumb|A classic [[Isaan]] meal: ''som tam'' papaya salad, ''larb'' meat salad and sticky rice]] About the only thing Thai salads (ยำ ''yam'') have in common with the Western variety is that they are both based on raw vegetables. A uniquely Thai flavor is achieved by drowning the ingredients in fish sauce, lime juice and chillies - the end result can be very spicy indeed! * ''Som tam'' (ส้มตำ), a salad made from shredded and pounded raw papaya is often considered a classic Thai dish, but it actually originates from neighboring [[Laos]]. However, the Thai version is less sour and more sweet than the original, with peanuts and dried shrimp mixed in. * ''Yam ponlamai'' (ยำผลไม้) is Thai-style fruit salad, meaning that instead of canned maraschino cherries it has fresh fruit topped with oodles of fish sauce and chillies. * ''Yam som-o'' (ยำส้มโอ) is an unusual salad made from pomelo (a mutant version of grapefruit) and anything else on hand, often including chicken or dried shrimp. * ''Yam wunsen'' (ยำวุ้นเส้น) is perhaps the most common ''yam'', with glass noodles and shrimp. * '' Yum Tua Poo'' (ยำถั่วพลู) is a mellow mix of pork and shrimp. Of Winged Bean and crunchy sweet-sour flavor. The taste is a little spicy, exotic food. * ''Khanom'' (ขนม) covers a vast range of cookies, biscuits, chips and anything else snackable, and piles of the stuff can be found in any Thai office after lunch. One common variety called ''khanom khrok'' (ขนมครก) is worth a special mention: these are little lens-shaped pancakes of rice flour and coconut milk, freshly cooked and served by street vendors everywhere during the morning hours, but after that you might probably find it a bit difficult to find. * ''Khao niao ma-muang'' (ข้าวเหนียวมะม่วง) means "sticky rice with mango", and that's what you get, sweetened sticky rice and ripe mango with some coconut milk drizzled on top. Filling and delicious and an excellent way to cool the palate after a spicey Thai dish! Alternatively, for the more adventurous type, an equally popular dish is ''Khao niao tu-rean'' in which you get durian instead of mango with your sticky rice. * ''Waan yen'' (หวานเย็น), literally "sweet cold", consists of a pile of ingredients of your choice (including things like sweet corn and kidney beans) topped with syrup, coconut cream and a pile of ice, and is great for cooling down on a hot day or after a searing curry.

Curries, fruit shakes, stir fries, fresh seafood made many different ways, this is just a start. Food in Thailand is cheap and at 25 Thai baht (approximately $0.70 USD) you can get a pad thai (Thai fried noodles) cooked at a street stall or at a floating market [http://www.columbusdirect.com.au/content/the-ultimate-thailand-travel-guide/#whatToSeeThailand]. Food from stalls and tiny sidewalk restaurants is usually quite safe. At street restaurants, you can see what you'll get and everything is cooked on the spot. === Thai cuisine === Thai cuisine is characterized by balance and strong flavors, especially lime juice, lemon grass and fresh coriander. This combination gives Thai food its distinctive taste. In addition, Thai food has a deserved reputation for being spicy, with hot chili used in many dishes. Thai dishes can be roughly categorized into central Thai food (around Bangkok), northern Thai food (North Thailand around Chiang Mai, with Burmese and Chinese influence), north-eastern Thai food (from the Isaan region bordering Laos) and southern Thai food (with heavy influences from Malaysia). The following list covers some better-known dishes. '''Rice''' The Thai staple food is rice (ข้าว ''khao''), so much so that in Thai eating a meal, ''kin khao'', literally means "eat rice". * ''Khao suai'' (ข้าวสวย) or "beautiful rice" is the plain white steamed rice that serves as the base of almost every meal. * ''Khao phat'' (ข้าวผัด) is simple fried rice, usually with some pork (''muu'') or chicken (''kai'') mixed in. * ''Khao tom'' (ข้าวต้ม) is a salty and watery rice porridge served with condiments, quite popular at breakfast. * ''Khao niao'' (ข้าวเหนียว) or "sticky rice" is glutinous rice - usually eaten dry, traditionally by hand, with grilled/fried pork or chicken or beef. It is especially popular (more than plain rice) in North-Eastern (Isan) and Northern provinces, but is widely available throughout the country, especially in places specializing on Isan or Lao cuisine. * ''Khao Chae'' (ข้าวแช่)is a croquette. Polished rice soaked with cold water. Which is often a barracuda. Then eat with rice variety. '''Noodles''' [[Image:Sriwan KuayTiow.JPG|thumb|''Kuay tiao phat sii-u kai'', or fried giant rice noodles with soy sauce and chicken]] Thais are great noodle eaters. The most common kind is rice noodles, served angel-hair (เส้นหมี่ ''sen mii''), small (เส้นเล็ก ''sen lek'') and large (เส้นใหญ่ ''sen yai''), but egg noodles (บะหมี่ ''ba mii''), Chinese-style stuffed wonton ravioli (เกี๊ยว ''kio'') and glass noodles made from mung beans (วุ้นเส้น ''wun sen'') are also popular. Unlike other Thai foods, noodles are usually eaten with chopsticks. They are also usually served with a rack of four condiments, namely dried red chillies , fish sauce, vinegar and sugar which diners can add to their own taste. * ''Phad Thai'' (ผัดไทย), literally "Thai stir-fry", means thin rice noodles fried in a tamarind-based sauce. Ubiquitous, cheap and often excellent - and as an added bonus, it's usually chili-free (you can add yourself, however, or ask to do if buying of the street - but be warned, it is often ''really'' hot). Can be made vegetarian, with shrimp, pork, or chicken. * ''Ba mii muu daeng'' (บะหมี่หมูเเดง) yellow egg noodles with slices of red (barbecued) pork. * ''Guay dtiao ruea'' (ก๋วยเตี๋ยวเรือ) is a rice noodle soup with a fiery pork blood stock and an assortment of offal. An acquired taste, but an addictive one. * "Kanom Jeen" (ขนมจีน) can be divided into two types - famentation flour and newly-milk flour - In each region of Thailand has different eating depend on local. The big festival of Kanom Jeen will be on March every year district Thug Song at Nakon Sri Thammarat. '''Soups and curries''' The line between soups (ต้ม ''tom'', literally just "boiled") and curries (แกง ''kaeng'') is a little fuzzy, and many dishes the Thais call curries would be soups to an Indian. A plate of rice with a ladleful of a curry or two on top, known as ''khao kaeng'' (ข้าวแกง), is a very popular quick meal if eating alone. * ''Tom yam goong'' (ต้มยำกุ้ง) is the quintessential Thai dish, a spicy, sour soup with prawns, lemongrass and galangal. The real thing is quite spicy, but toned-down versions are often available on request. * ''Tom kha gai'' (ต้มข่าไก่) is the Thai version of chicken soup in a rich galangal-flavored coconut stock, with mushrooms and not a few chillies. * ''Gaeng ped'' (แกงเผ็ด, "red curry") this coconut-based red curry dish can be spicy. Red curry with roast duck (''kaeng phet Bped yaang'' แกงเผ็ดเป็ดย่าง) is particularly tasty. * ''Gaeng kheow-waan'' (แกงเขียวหวาน), sweet green curry, is a coconut-based curry with strong accents of lemongrass and kaffir lime. Usually milder than the red variety. * ''Gaeng som'' (แกงส้ม), orange curry, is more like tamarind soup than curry, usually served with pieces of herb omelette in the soup. '''Mains''' Thais like their mains fried (ทอด ''thot'' or ผัด ''phat'') or grilled (''yaang'' ย่าง). Fish, in particular, is often deep-fried until the meat turns brown and crispy. * ''Ka-phrao kai'' (กะเพราไก่), literally "basil chicken" is a simple but intensely fragrant stir-fry made from peppery holy basil leaves, chillies and chicken. '''Salads''' [[Image:SomTam Larb StickyRice.JPG|thumb|A classic [[Isaan]] meal: ''som tam'' papaya salad, ''larb'' meat salad and sticky rice]] About the only thing Thai salads (ยำ ''yam'') have in common with the Western variety is that they are both based on raw vegetables. A uniquely Thai flavor is achieved by drowning the ingredients in fish sauce, lime juice and chillies - the end result can be very spicy indeed! * ''Som tam'' (ส้มตำ), a salad made from shredded and pounded raw papaya is often considered a classic Thai dish, but it actually originates from neighboring [[Laos]]. However, the Thai version is less sour and more sweet than the original, with peanuts and dried shrimp mixed in. * ''Yam ponlamai'' (ยำผลไม้) is Thai-style fruit salad, meaning that instead of canned maraschino cherries it has fresh fruit topped with oodles of fish sauce and chillies. * ''Yam som-o'' (ยำส้มโอ) is an unusual salad made from pomelo (a mutant version of grapefruit) and anything else on hand, often including chicken or dried shrimp. * ''Yam wunsen'' (ยำวุ้นเส้น) is perhaps the most common ''yam'', with glass noodles and shrimp. * '' Yum Tua Poo'' (ยำถั่วพลู) is a mellow mix of pork and shrimp. Of Winged Bean and crunchy sweet-sour flavor. The taste is a little spicy, exotic food. * ''Khanom'' (ขนม) covers a vast range of cookies, biscuits, chips and anything else snackable, and piles of the stuff can be found in any Thai office after lunch. One common variety called ''khanom khrok'' (ขนมครก) is worth a special mention: these are little lens-shaped pancakes of rice flour and coconut milk, freshly cooked and served by street vendors everywhere during the morning hours, but after that you might probably find it a bit difficult to find. * ''Khao niao ma-muang'' (ข้าวเหนียวมะม่วง) means "sticky rice with mango", and that's what you get, sweetened sticky rice and ripe mango with some coconut milk drizzled on top. Filling and delicious and an excellent way to cool the palate after a spicey Thai dish! Alternatively, for the more adventurous type, an equally popular dish is ''Khao niao tu-rean'' in which you get durian instead of mango with your sticky rice. * ''Waan yen'' (หวานเย็น), literally "sweet cold", consists of a pile of ingredients of your choice (including things like sweet corn and kidney beans) topped with syrup, coconut cream and a pile of ice, and is great for cooling down on a hot day or after a searing curry. [[File:Thong yib.jpg|thumb|Thong yib]] * ''Thong Yib'' (ทองหยิบ), is originally Portuguese dessert. It was introduced to Thais a few hundred years ago by Marie Guimar de Pinha (ท้าวทองกีบม้า). ''Thong Yib'' literally means "pinched gold". It is made from egg yolks, its bound is pinched to star-shaped. One piece of ''Thong Yib'' is bite-sized, served in a tiny cup. ''Thong Yib'' is sold in typical markets in the morning. A pack of 6-8 pieces is around 20-25 baht. Travellers can also find these in other Thai dessert shops. For example, ''Mae U-Dom'' (แม่อุดม), this is a famous Thai dessert shop, open daily from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. ''Mae U-Dom'' located on ''Din-sor'' (ดินสอ pencil) road, near ''Satri wittaya'' School (โรงเรียนสตรีวิทยา) and the Democracy Monument. Another shop is ''Ma-li-wan'' (มะลิวัลย์), open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is located on ''Soi Arie 1'' (ซอยอารีย์ 1), not far from ''Arie'' BTS station. * ''Thong Yod'' (ทองหยอด) means "gold drop" and its shape is like a drop. It is Portuguese sweet like ''Thong Yib'' (ทองหยิบ). Rice flour is mixed with egg yolk, this is the difference of ''Thong Yod'' from ''Thong Yib'' that has no flour. ''Thong Yod'' is usually sold with ''Thong Yib''. A pack of 10-15 pieces is priced around 20-25 baht. It also be sold at ''Mae U-Dom'' (แม่อุดม) and ''Ma-li-wan'' (มะลิวัลย์). * ''Foy Thong'' (ฝอยทอง) means “gold fibre”. It is egg-based Portuguese sweet too. It is made from yolks mixed with egg-dew (the light egg white that remains in the egg shell). It is like fibre because the stirred mixture is poured through a pastry cone into hot syrup. When it is long enough, it will be folded to a fold. A pack of 3-4 folds is priced around 30 baht. It is usually sold by the same vendors who sell ''Thong Yib'' and ''Thong Yod''. ''Mae U-Dom'' (แม่อุดม) and ''Ma-li-wan'' (มะลิวัลย์) also sell this. * ''Thong muan'' (ทองม่วน) is a kind pocket Thailand is a circular loop coil looks crisp. In Thailand, there are many varieties of desserts. Most Thai people like to eat desserts that are made from coconut milk. * ''Khao lam'' (ข้าวหลาม) means "Bamboo sticky rice" which is a sticky rice (white or black) with sweetened coconut milk, which may include taro or black bean, and stuffed into bamboo sticks. * ''Bua loy kai-wan'' (บัวลอยไข่หวาน) means "Dumplings in coconut cream with egg". Dumpling balls in coconut cream with egg is found everywhere in Thailand and it also is a popular dessert. This dessert is often enjoyed in the evening. The dumpling balls are made from flour, water and coloured water. Dumpling balls in coconut cream with egg can also be found in colours such as green, purple, blue, yellow, pink, white and so on. Each colour is made from flowers and vegetables. The ingredients of this dessert contains eggs, coconut milk, taro, corn, and colourful dumpling balls. Most Thai people loves these because it is a hot coconut cream soup with dumpling balls and eggs and tastes sweet and creamy. * ''Kluay buat-chi'' (กล้วยบวชชี) means "Banana in coconut milk". Banana in coconut milk are easy to buy and cook. The taste is creamy, sweet and silky. The ingredients are cheap and contains bananas, coconut milk, some salt and sugar. Most Thai people like to cook this dessert because of the affordable ingredients and the dish is easy to make. However, banana in coconut milk are easy to find in the supermarket and other shops. * ''Tubtim Krob'' (ทับทิมกรอบ) “Water Chestnut with Syrup and Coconut Milk”. A tasty and refreshing dish when served with ice. It is very popular in the summer time and can be found in the markets. * ''Khanom Thai''- usually made of starch, sugar and coconut milk. In the early times, Knanom Thai was only made for special occasions, like weddings and Songkran day, because of the considerable amount of time and people required in order to make a perfect Khanom Thai. Moreover, Thais believe that the names and the shapes of Khanom Thai will bring good luck to those who consume it. * ''Rook choob''- is one of the most popular Thai desserts. Most people like this dessert because it is colourful and often made into fruit shapes. Moreover, Rook choob is made into a bite size, so it easy to eat. A main ingredient of this dessert is crushed green bean. It smells great from the natural colours such as Bai toey (green), Aun chun (blue) etc. While chewing it, you will not only get a soft sweet taste from soybean and coconut milk but also a good smell from aroma candle’s smoke. Great for relaxing with a hot tea. Can be bought for cheap at local markets and food shops. * ''Ka noom sord sai''- is a meticulous Thai dessert because it has many steps to make. It consists of sticky rice, flour, coconut etc. The dessert has a sweet taste from coconut and palm sugar and a wonderful smell from aroma candle’s smoke. It is delicious and nutritious because of the carbohydrates and fat. This dessert is cheap and easy to find due to the availability of the ingredients. Furthermore, it is packed with Thai’s folk wisdom style, which is banana leaf and small bamboo pin. The banana leaf will keep the dessert's smell and freshness. * ''Kaow tom mud'' is another dessert that popular in Thailand. It consists of many ingredients such as sticky rice, black bean, banana, coconut, etc. This desser provides many nutrients from carbohydrates and vitamins B1 and B2. Foreigners can buy this dessert for cheap in any local market. It should be eaten while it is hot to keep the sticky rice's softness. This dessert is wrapped with a traditional Thai banana leaf. === Vegetarian food === Vegetarians won't have too many problems surviving in Thailand, with one significant exception: '''fish sauce''' (น้ำปลา ''naam plaa'') is to Thai cuisine what soy sauce is to Chinese food, and keeping it out of soups, curries and stir-fries will be a challenge. That said, Thailand is a Buddhist country and vegetarianism is a fairly well-understood concept, especially among Chinese Thais (many of whom eat only vegetarian food during several festivals). Tofu is a traditional Thai ingredient and they aren't afraid to mix it up in some non traditional dishes such as omelettes (with or without eggs), submarine sandwiches, and burritos. Since Thai dishes are usually made to order, it's easy to ask for anything on the menu to be made without meat or fish. Bangkok features several fantastic veggie and vegan restaurants, but outside of big cities make sure to check that your idea of "veggie" matches the chef's. Some key phrases for vegetarians: * ''gin jay'' กินเจ "(I) eat (only) vegetarian food" * ''karunaa mai sai naam plaa'' กรุณาไม่ใส่น้ำปลา "Please don't use fish sauce" * ''karunaa mai sai pong chu roht'' กรุณาไม่ใส่ผงชูรส "Please don't use MSG" |busking=See [https://www.facebook.com/groups/10038446819/permalink/10153025506396820/ this thread] |visa=Visitors entering '''Thailand''' are required to prove they have sufficient funds to cover the length of their stay, and should hold documentation for return/onward travel.

Most Phnom Penh travel agencies process the extensions. * To apply for a visa, you will need one or two (depending on where you apply) passport-size photo(s) (although when applying on arrival, the fee for not having one is usually only US$1-2), a passport which is valid for at least 6 months and has at least one completely blank visa page remaining, passport photocopies when applying at some embassies/consulates (not needed if applying on arrival), and clean US$ notes with which to pay the fee (expect to pay a substantially higher price if paying in a local currency). * Alternatively, citizens of most nations can now apply for an e-Visa online. The cost is US$25 (US$20 + US$5 processing charge) instead of the normal US$20. The service is excellent and you get the visa by e-mail in 3 business days. * For those entering by air, the e-Visa is valid at both Phnom Penh and Siem Reap airports.

Visas can be obtained at any Cambodian embassy or consulate overseas. Visas are also available "on arrival" at both international airports, all six international border crossings with [[Thailand]], some international border crossings with [[Vietnam]], and at the main border crossing with [[Laos]]. == Passport == * Valid passports of 6 months are required by all nationals in order to obtain a visa to Cambodia. == Visa requirements == All visitors, except (as of May 2006) citizens of [[Malaysia]], [[Singapore]], [[Philippines]], and [[Laos]], need a visa to enter Cambodia. * '''Americans''': US travelers must have a valid passport and holiday or business visa, which can be obtained on arrival for one month. * '''UK nationals''': UK travelers must have a valid passport and a tourist or business visa, which can be obtained on arrival for one month. * '''Canadians''': Canadians must have a valid passport and a visa is required. A visa can be obtained on arrival, if the purpose of travel is for tourist or business purposes for up to one month. * '''Australians''': Australians must have a valid passport and a visa is required.

Most Phnom Penh travel agencies process the extensions. * To apply for a visa, you will need one or two (depending on where you apply) passport-size photo(s) (although when applying on arrival, the fee for not having one is usually only US$1-2), a passport which is valid for at least 6 months and has at least one completely blank visa page remaining, passport photocopies when applying at some embassies/consulates (not needed if applying on arrival), and clean US$ notes with which to pay the fee (expect to pay a substantially higher price if paying in a local currency). * Alternatively, citizens of most nations can now apply for an e-Visa online. The cost is US$25 (US$20 + US$5 processing charge) instead of the normal US$20. The service is excellent and you get the visa by e-mail in 3 business days. * For those entering by air, the e-Visa is valid at both Phnom Penh and Siem Reap airports.

Students usually sleep in dormitories in the campus and cannot host or fell that they cannot. Often it is still possible to just come as a visitor and stay over night. Still, most students don't want to risk it. The hospitality in China is remarkable. Often people can invite you to their houses or pay hotels for you. Spontaneous hospitality works pretty easy when meeting people in public places. A common method also for locals is to sleep in hotel lobbies. Ask at the reception if it is possible (maybe give them a reason - too cold to camp...) and in many cases you can sleep on the lobby couches. The better the hotel, the higher the chances usually. It can also happen that the hotels will just give you a room for free or somebody pays the entrance for you. |bewelcome-link=http://www.bewelcome.org/places/China/CN |food=Eating while on the road is not too difficult in China. When hitchhiking, it is very common that the people take you for meals. It is possible to ask in restaurants for a work/food exchange - 1 hour work for a meal. Nobody will have heard about that concept, but some might appreciate the idea. Many restaurants will serve you food without wanting the work in exchange. In restaurants, it is also possible to come during times before the restaurant is closing and asking for leftovers. Often you can eat together with the staff for free, which can be an experience with great atmosphere. For that you need to come when shifts are finishing / in the eating times. Just check from the outside. Eating times in China: People like eating at the same time and in China that is quiet early. Lunch is at 12 and Dinner at 6 o'clock. Asking for leftovers or food from the day before is quiet hard, but possible in the right places. Many restaurants throw the leftovers directly into a big pot where it won't be edible afterwards. Many food chains will not feel responsible enough and will say no before thinking more further. In fruit and vegetable shops asking for leftovers at the end of the day works pretty well. When staying longer in a place, it's possible to make a deal of coming every day at a certain time. In bakeries, the chains often have a system of the old food being picked up in the evening or on the next day to be returned to the factory. More lucky you will be in smaller shops where you can speak to the owner directly. A translator app works well enough to communicate all this. |connectivity=wifi is available pretty much everywhere in china.

A must-have app: Baidu translate. With wifi it translates sentences and texts as well as voice (English and Chinese spoken, directly translated). There it is possible to save sentences and texts (using the little star - you find the saved ones in "me"). Prepare texts of introduction, asking in hotels, restaurants, for hitchhiking... Offline it has a dictionary. Almost anyone has internet on their phone so you can use their internet to translate. Remember that Chinese people are very obedient, like to follow rules and being honest about them. Make sure whatever you do, to let them know that this is perfectly fine and right to do by the rules.

You can then easily imagine that there are very vaste areas only populated with kangaroos and camels. Therefore you have to take extra care if you leave some the mains roads and the touristic place. Australia can be as much a dream of huge empty spaces with genuinely generous people as quite a hell if you get stuck without water after being beaten by a deadly snake or spider. But if you take the necessary precautions you will not be part of the very very few people that die every year because of wildlife ha ha. More seriously, Australia is a safe country as long as you respect some basic rules, which really make sense here compared to Europe for example as you can end up in some really remote place. People in Australia are really laid back and they will enjoy a chat every now and then while waiting for the bus or doing a “barbie” (barbecue) in the public park. Police forces and government agents are following this general attitude, however they are nice as long as you obey the rules. Australians are really into this “safety first” mentality and you will find all the time fences, “do not ...” boards, yellow lines that you shouldn't cross. Crossing at red lights or doing bike without helmet for example can expose you to nice fines. A difficult task in Australia is to analyze whether the safety instructions are total bullshit or are a real survival advice. Because they have so many safety instructions all the time, you can get bored after a while and start not considering them anymore. And still, when they tell you that there are crocodiles and deadly jellyfishes in the sea and that you shouldn't go swimming, they are right. Or the same when they tell you not to dive from this rock, because people died from an underwater hidden rock. So keep your brain open and don't forget that Australia, even-though very European looking, has some particularities that you should not forget. Australia has an economy partly based on backpackers (this is how travellers are called here): in fact, a lot of jobs like fruit-picking are done by foreigners because no Australian want to do it. Then the backpackers spend the money they just earned buying second-hand cars or renting them to visit the touristic places and to sleep in the "backpackers" (shortening often used meaning backpackers' hostels, sort of slang from Australia and [[New Zealand]]. A bit confusing at the beginning but you get used to it very fast). Now it's your to take part in the Australian economy he he. It is a quite expensive country, alcool and tobacco for example, but the ratio wage/cost of living is one of the best in the world, and finding a job is not too difficult. Conclusion is: when you only travel, you can easily spend a loooot of money. But when you work, you earn a loooot of money as well Without any intention of advertisment, but [http://www.gumtree.com.au/ Gumtree] as kind of a monopoly for all second-hand and new stuff possibly imaginable: from eletronics to finding roommates or buying a house, finding travelling mates or jobs, carpooling, offering language courses and so on. Most likely you will hear about it one day! It is simply very efficient because everybody uses it. They are 6 states in Australia, [[New South Wales]], [[Queensland]], [[South Australia]], [[Tasmania]] and [[Western Australia]], - and two mainland territories, the [[Northern Territory]] and the [[Australian Capital Territory]] (basically it is [[Canberra]]). {{Country |transport=As Australia is so large you have to ask yourself how much your time is worth. For example, to fly from [[Sydney]] to [[Melbourne]] costs around AU$150 and takes 1.5 hours (plus a short wait at the airport). Or you can take a Greyhound bus for $110 that takes 14 hours. It is up to see how much your time is worth! Thanks to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_holiday_visa Working-Holiday visa], Australia is really a backpackers' country and you have many options to move around the country. Remember, in Australia people drive on the left ;) ===By Car=== ====Hitchhiking==== [[Hitchhiking]] is very doable in most of Australia. The state [[Western Australia]] and its police forces are a bit more touchy so try to make sure you hitchhike from a spot that do not bother the traffic, that puts you or other road users in danger. This is when the police will want to fine you. Australians have a great sense of hospitality and after having spend several hundred kilometers in a car, you have a good chance to be invited to sleep at their place and to go to the Casino with them to spend a bit of their money. Still there is a great difference in hitching the populated areas or the [[Outback]]. The [http://hitchwiki.org/en/Australia Hitchwiki page] will give you a lot more infos on hitchhiking in Australia. ====Travelling in the car of other backpackers==== There are so many travellers in Australia that it is really easy to find people to travel with by car/van in order to share costs and fun. However, it is not sure you will find like-minded people! In the youth hostels' bulletin boards or on [http://www.gumtree.com.au/ Gumtree] you can often find people offering rides from a place to another, for free or asking some money for food/fuel expenses, this really depends on the persons and the length of the trip. If you do not meet the people beforehand, and actually even if you meet them, you can have as much a bad as a good surprise! ====Buying a car/van==== Many longer-term visitors will buy a cheap car and then try to sell it again at a hostel before they leave. This is good if you time the seasons right, and can be tricky if you are trying to sell your car at the same time as everyone else who did this option. It is very easy to buy a car and get registered, but it is a bit more difficult to re-sell your car if it is not in the same state you bought it. If you car breaks down, you are supposed to get a little amount of money when bringing it to the wrecker. Then travelling, especially if your can/van is full, is going to be much cheaper then renting or by any other mean except [[hitchhiking]], [[walking]] or [[biking]]. You can find pretty easily people in the youth hostels or on internet pages. ====Car relocation==== If you don't mind a short schedule you can use a rental car relocation company such as Transfercar or Imoova, but there are hundreds of websites offering these kind of relocation services. Because some itineraries are preferred by tourists, a lot of cars can end up in some place and the company needs to bring it back to a big departure city. They offer then to get a car for free or cheap price for a predetermined amount of days, sometimes fuel offered and sometimes you can have an extra day by noticing the agency. It is a good way to cover long distance in a short amount of time with few money, especially if you are more than 2 and that hitchhiking doesn't look like an option to you. A typical journey for example could be [[Brisbane]] to [[Cairns]] over 4-6 days, maximum kilometres 2000, $50 free fuel included for $1 per day including insurance, extra days $75. However be careful not to be "ethically" fooled: in a way you help the company by driving their car down and making them save a lot of money, so they shouldn't charge you too much for this, if not charging you at all. ====Car rental==== The big name rental cars such as Hertz and Avis are fairly expensive. Look around the suburbs for smaller companies and cheaper cars, and as well on some comparative websites that offer very often good deals. This is a quite expensive option though, especially if you are under 25 years old because the price almost doubles as a young driver. On the website they give prices almost all the time like if you were above 25, and when you select your car and your options, you realize at the end that the insurance price doubles. Be aware of the restrictions such as where you can take the car and drop it and how many kilometers you can do per day (the cheapest cars are usually limited to 100km a day), and make sure you know the road rules. A rental camper van with friends is likely to be your cheapest option because you will save on accommodation costs. Consider motorhomes as well, some can fit 6 people and splitting costs can make it affordable. And it gives a nice "grandpa and grandma going on holidays"-feeling! Look at [http://www.wickedcampers.com.au Wicked Campers], they are usually pretty relaxed and they don't care if you are less than 25 year old. They use old vehicles that they paint so the cars and vans are really cool and unique, and they are often the cheapest of all rentals, except when other companies have good deals. As well, if you come and pick your vehicle naked, you get an extra free day, it gives you an idea of the company ;) You will need to be aware of your obligations as a driver and make sure you know the [http://www.driverknowledgetests.com/learners-permit/tourist/ road rules] ===By Plane=== [[Plane]] is the fastest, sometimes the cheapest of the non-free transport means and the less ecological you can take. [http://www.jetcost.com.au Jetcost Australia] gives usually nice prices and the article [[How to find cheap flights]] is well done. Inner flights are quite cheap especially with [http://www.tigerair.com/au/en/index.php Tigerair]. Like always be careful of your luggage limitation. ===By Bus=== Buses are slow and not that cheap compared to flights, but much more ecological. The main company is [http://greyhound.com.au Greyhound] but look for others. ===By Train=== [[Trains]] cover much of Australia, but aren't used that much. They are cheaper than buses and take about the same time, sometimes slower. You can use some for scenic touring but you will need a bit of budget. Good scenic tours are The Ghan and the train from [[Sydney]] to the [[Blue Mountains]]. ===By Bike=== [[Biking]] can be as awesome as it can be a pain in the bottom of your back if you know what I mean. Distances are huge in Australia and in some parts landscapes are the same for 300km or more. Cycling on the side of a main road with trucks and cars passing every few seconds or few minutes next to you is not only dangerous, it is very annoying as well. In some areas, you could leave the highway but you will have to cycle on dirt roads and make detours. So if you decide to get a bike and cycle, make sure you look very well on a map to get away from the main roads and still have some acceptable quality on the secondary roads. Look up as much what other bikers did and their personal experiences as well as their itinerary. Anyway a good advice is to have A LOT of water with you especially if you go out of the main road and/or in the summer. You might get stuck with the next town being 100km away so don't play with fire. Euh no with water. And don't forget to take a repairing set because snake skin won't work to fix a flat tyre. ===By camel or kangaroo=== This is definitely my favorite option. What on Earth beats crossing the desert jumping above fences and rivers on the back of your Skippy? At night you can enjoy the warmth of the kangaroo pocket or drink some camel milk for breakfast. There are two options to get one of these animals: either to buy it directly from any animal shop or to catch it with a lasso like in the good old times. Both techniques work really well as long as you remain respectful with your animal. To chose a healthy animal, just look if their teeths are in good condition. ===Personal experiences=== ''Some of my most amazing experiences have included a cold winter night wrapped in cardboard in an abandoned wheat silo sharing a humpy with aboriginals in a town camp on the edge of Tennant Creek, waking up only to bashing my head on the underside of a Dodge van I had crawled under to avoid the rain, only to be offered a cuppa tea by the occupants digging my car out of a salt lake when we took a wrong turn with two English backpackers as rain clouds loomed... This to me is the real Australia'' (Dave Hodgkin). |accommodation=When travelling, there are several ways to find a place where to stay. If you sleep in a car on an unauthorized place, remember this good advice that can avoid you a fine from Mister Policeman: tell them that you were too tired to keep drinving and that it could have been dangerous for your safety. Use the words "dangerous" and "safety" as much as you can, Australians are crazy in love about safety he he. ===Backpackers (youth hostels)=== Backpackers are not your cheapest option; you often pay AU$20-$25 or more, sometimes one day offered if you take the whole week. There are two types of backpackers that work quite differently, the city-ones or from the countryside. The city-ones are more like classic youth hostels, as the countryside ones are here to find jobs for the travellers. In this case the manager of the backpacker knows the farmers around, has a job network and distributes jobs at all travellers paying for his hostel. Your chance of getting a job depends then on how much you insist to the manager, how talented your manager is and this can fluctuate a lot, and if you are in the right season. In the South make sure you don't go there in the winter, some people stay stucked there with no money, surviving every week making just enough money to pay rent and a bit of food. In the North however there are almost continously jobs to find. It usually is a good idea to say when you arrive that you want to stay for 6 months or more to make a lot of money, they will give you a job more easily. And then you can leave a bit whenever as often you don't really have a contract. ===Campsites (private and natural parks)=== Like in every country there are some private campsites. They are quite expensive and not the most nicest places as they are full of classic tourist (and you are not, you are special don't forget it ha ha). But they might be your only legal option to put your tent/van/motorhome outside the big cities. A good compromise are the natural parks: Australia has so many tourists and had so many problems with them, with ecology and biodiversity conservation that they started putting National Parks everywhere with big restrictions, fire and [[camping]] for example, and rangers make sure these are respected. Often there are one or more campsites in the parks, with more or less infrastructure depending on the amount of tourists. Usually they are at a primary level of comfort but they often try to put a covered roof over a "barbie"-stove (barbecue stove) to respect Australian BBQ tradition ;) These campsites are much cheaper than backpackers or private campsites. They can be in remote places and then they have no check-in or check-out, only a box where you are supposed to put your money. It means that you don't have to pay, by leaving early for example. Rangers come usually everyday and check if everything is ok, meaning that they can tell you something/fine you if you didn't pay. They are most of the time quite relaxed but still will want you to pay. The money supposely goes into the park and the protection of fauna and flora so you might want to participate. ===Wild camping and wild caravaning=== Again Australia is so vaste that you will have no problems finding places where to free camp. However it can be tricky in some places and some States. Police/coast guards can follow your car if you look like you are searching for a place to stay, or you can be waken up. Of course, fines can happen but usually they just ask you to leave and with a warning that you car plate number was taken and that it shouldn't happen again. ===Hospitality exchange websites=== All classic advices found on the [[Hospitality exchange]] page are good, and it works pretty much like in all Western countries. ===Spontaneous hospitality=== Australians especially in the countryside, are very hospitable and [[spontaneous hospitality]] will be one of your best bets to sleep legally for free. Because houses are often big with a garden, you can easily ask to pitch a tent or a place to put your car/van. If you don't have a tent, find somewhere with a shelter and ask to sleep under, you will often be invited to come inside. ===Where to get free showers in Australia=== Australia has a really nice beach infrastructure so in any beach next to a city or one a bit frequented you will find a shower with clear water, sometimes open air but sometimes in a building. Look at the [[Free shower]] article for more general ideas. ===When you are really stuck for a place to stay=== You know you're off the tourist track when you get to a town without a [[Australia#Backpackers_.28youth_hostels.29|backpackers]]. Most small towns have a town pub that offers pretty cheap accommodation and many have a free campground on the edge of town or a picnic spot beside a river *'''Schoolyards'''. Normally there is somewhere discrete under cover, in most small towns there is green grass, and even toilets and drinking water, just set your alarm early and get out before 7:30ish when cleaning staff etc may start to arrive. *'''Non Returned soldiers areas at Cemeteries'''. Clearly not for the superstitious, but these sites tend to have nice soft green grass, and often have free public toilets and fresh drinking water. The cemetery at the end of thee railway line in Hexham on your way North out of [[Sydney]] is a classic, if headed North through from [[Canberra]] or [[Melbourne]], you can jump the train in Campbelltown or Parramatta, ride it through to Central Station, change to the Newcastle line, then switch to the Hexham line, and get off at the unnamed station for free, right next to the a great cemetery, right next to The Prince's Highway. *'''Shade structures as bus shelters'''. These can provide quite a comfortable night's sleep, as can late night train stations or Church Foyers. *'''Showgrounds'''. On the edge of towns often have toilets, water and a place undercover. |bewelcome-link=http://www.bewelcome.org/places/Australia/AU |food=Food in Australia is mostly expensive, one exception would be fast food. The cheapest supermarket is usually Coles, followed by Woolworths. IGA has mostly small corner supermarkets and is much more expensive. Try Asian Markets as they are usually much cheaper. But fortunately there are several ways to get your expenses down. * '''I don't want to use my gas to cook'''. Australian are fond of "barbies" and they put barbecue everywhere, sometimes in the most suprisingly places. Most of the time it is a covered place with a big metal plaque heated with gas or electricity by pressing a button. You can go and boil your pastas there, and just fry anything really. The cleanness really depends on the last user, so be prepared to have to do it yourself. But try to leave it cleaner than you found it ;) '''The student option.''' Microwaves and toasters, boiling water and more can sometimes be found at Universities. Have a look there if it's on your way. * '''I'm ok to eat old food'''. Three ways here: reduced products, dumpster diving or [[petrol stations]]. In Australia most of supermarkets are reducing the prices of their products that expire soon, from 10% to 70% or more the closest they get to expiry date so you can easily divide your food budget by two. More infos on dumpster diving in Australia can be found on [http://trashwiki.org/en/Australia Trashwiki]. '''[[Petrol stations]].''' By law after midnight products expire, and you can ask for "out of date products". You will definitely not get the first quality, organic, environmental-friendly-produced food but it will be free or very very cheap. Probably the few coins you give are going into the seller's pocket. * '''I'm in [[Melbourne]] or [[Sydney]] without money.''' Or I'm with money and willing to share it. [http://lentilasanything.com Lentil as Anything] offers vegan and vegetarian food for free donation. Good food and great place for budget travellers, but don't forget that these places need a balance of too much and too less donation in order to survive. * '''I want to get drunk but it's expensive!''' Alcool is very expensive in Australia and can only be found in special "bottle shops" or pubs. Don't make the mistake when you first arrive in Australia to buy "Ginger beer" in the supermarket, it is a non-alcoolic drink as close to beer as the kangaroo is close to the koala. It doesn't mean that it is bad of course, just different. The only option for cheap alcool really is to buy "goon": it is white, red or rosé wine found in 2 to 5 liters carboxes for about AU$12-18 the 4-5 liters. It tastes bad and it is most likely a mixture of all unused wines, but you get used to it after a while. On the back it is written that it "may contain traces of eggs or milk", niiiice. The white one very cold is acceptable and the red one as a sangria with fruits and spices can even surprise you. The rest of the alcools are very expensive, but so much nicer to drink. Drinking in the street is mostly prohibited and it is a bit more relaxed in parks. In pubs, you will have to look around, usually there is one or two good happy hours every evening and by changing bar every night you can get cheaper prices. * '''Cheap coffee.''' You will definitely support a fast-food company, but all the coffees at Hungry Jack's are usually big, a bit tasteless and AU$1 only, which is much cheaper than a normal café or bar. * '''Shop lifting'''. French people are so known in Australia for it that [[stealing]] is sometimes called "French shopping". But a lot of travelers starts to shoplift because the prices are so high and Australian so trustful. In big shops there are cameras of course but not as much as in [[France]] for example (and this is why French do it a lot!). In some cheap clothes shops there are no electronic protection and it is possible to just use your favorite technique. If you get caught, they usually ask you to pay for the items, they write your name down and picture, and they might ban you from any of the company's shop. Be aware that [[shoplifting]] is a strong debated question among travelers as an ethical issue. |connectivity=The fast-foods: McDonald's and Hungry Jacks are really ok with it. Street wifi is usual as well on the main pedestrian areas. Or you can try the libraries which have free-wifi and computers most of the time. [http://www.optus.com.au/shop/mobile/prepaid/plans Optus Prepaid] has a good compromise if you need big internet and unlimited calls/sms. For AU$2 a day and no contract, you get 6Go, but it seems like you can go above this limit. With a smartphone, you can often share internet to your computer. |busking=Busking is an great way to make money in Australia. People have money and it is really in the culture to give some of it to buskers. However it might be a bit more difficult in the countryside, but showing your talents at a petrol station while waiting for a lift can even make you earn a few dollars on the way. In the mains streets of the biggest city, busking might not be free though: a bit weird to say he? You sometimes need a permit and to pay for it, with only a limited amount of time and a special spot. It is usually a symbolic price compared to what you can earn, however you might be reluctant to pay for performing free street art. [[Adelaide]] in February-March has one of the biggest [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adelaide_Fringe_Festival Fringe Festival] of the world. 1,5 million people spend their time there spread over 24 days and the entire city center is full of street artists. You could make some serial busking during this period. |visa=If you are planning a holiday visit or a short business trip to '''Australia''', you will need to apply for either a visa or an ETA (Electronic Travel Authority). Established in 1996 to remove the need for some people to apply for full visas, they can be applied for over the Internet, through travel agents and through airlines. Unless there is some problem with the application, the ETA is granted immediately. Unlike ordinary visas, when an ETA is issued, no stamp or other documentation is added to the holder's passport; instead the computer-based system links the passport number to the ETA and is accessible by immigration officials. == Passport == == Visa requirements == Holders of passports from the following 34 countries are eligible to apply for an ETA in lieu of a visa: Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Brunei, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong (SAR), Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, Monaco, The Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Republic of San Marino, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, United Kingdom - British Citizen, United Kingdom - British National (Overseas), United States of America, Vatican City Holders of Taiwan passports can only be processed for an ETA if resident in and applying in Taiwan. Holders of UK passports which indicate their nationality to be British National (Overseas) (BNO) can be processed for an ETA if applying via a travel agent, airline, or at an office of the department. BNO passport holders cannot apply for their ETA online. [[New Zealand]] passport holders are not eligible for an ETA as New Zealand passport holders may enter Australia without prior notice. New Zealand citizens are issued a Special Category visa on arrival, which entitles them to live, work and study unrestricted in Australia permanently. Holders of passports from all other countries must apply for a visa at their local embassy or consulate. ==Types of visa and cost== There is a service fee of $20 (AUD) to apply for an ETA online.

You can then easily imagine that there are very vaste areas only populated with kangaroos and camels. Therefore you have to take extra care if you leave some the mains roads and the touristic place. Australia can be as much a dream of huge empty spaces with genuinely generous people as quite a hell if you get stuck without water after being beaten by a deadly snake or spider. But if you take the necessary precautions you will not be part of the very very few people that die every year because of wildlife ha ha. More seriously, Australia is a safe country as long as you respect some basic rules, which really make sense here compared to Europe for example as you can end up in some really remote place. People in Australia are really laid back and they will enjoy a chat every now and then while waiting for the bus or doing a “barbie” (barbecue) in the public park. Police forces and government agents are following this general attitude, however they are nice as long as you obey the rules. Australians are really into this “safety first” mentality and you will find all the time fences, “do not ...” boards, yellow lines that you shouldn't cross. Crossing at red lights or doing bike without helmet for example can expose you to nice fines. A difficult task in Australia is to analyze whether the safety instructions are total bullshit or are a real survival advice. Because they have so many safety instructions all the time, you can get bored after a while and start not considering them anymore. And still, when they tell you that there are crocodiles and deadly jellyfishes in the sea and that you shouldn't go swimming, they are right. Or the same when they tell you not to dive from this rock, because people died from an underwater hidden rock. So keep your brain open and don't forget that Australia, even-though very European looking, has some particularities that you should not forget. Australia has an economy partly based on backpackers (this is how travellers are called here): in fact, a lot of jobs like fruit-picking are done by foreigners because no Australian want to do it. Then the backpackers spend the money they just earned buying second-hand cars or renting them to visit the touristic places and to sleep in the "backpackers" (shortening often used meaning backpackers' hostels, sort of slang from Australia and [[New Zealand]]. A bit confusing at the beginning but you get used to it very fast). Now it's your to take part in the Australian economy he he. It is a quite expensive country, alcool and tobacco for example, but the ratio wage/cost of living is one of the best in the world, and finding a job is not too difficult. Conclusion is: when you only travel, you can easily spend a loooot of money. But when you work, you earn a loooot of money as well Without any intention of advertisment, but [http://www.gumtree.com.au/ Gumtree] as kind of a monopoly for all second-hand and new stuff possibly imaginable: from eletronics to finding roommates or buying a house, finding travelling mates or jobs, carpooling, offering language courses and so on. Most likely you will hear about it one day! It is simply very efficient because everybody uses it. They are 6 states in Australia, [[New South Wales]], [[Queensland]], [[South Australia]], [[Tasmania]] and [[Western Australia]], - and two mainland territories, the [[Northern Territory]] and the [[Australian Capital Territory]] (basically it is [[Canberra]]). {{Country |transport=As Australia is so large you have to ask yourself how much your time is worth. For example, to fly from [[Sydney]] to [[Melbourne]] costs around AU$150 and takes 1.5 hours (plus a short wait at the airport). Or you can take a Greyhound bus for $110 that takes 14 hours. It is up to see how much your time is worth! Thanks to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_holiday_visa Working-Holiday visa], Australia is really a backpackers' country and you have many options to move around the country. Remember, in Australia people drive on the left ;) ===By Car=== ====Hitchhiking==== [[Hitchhiking]] is very doable in most of Australia. The state [[Western Australia]] and its police forces are a bit more touchy so try to make sure you hitchhike from a spot that do not bother the traffic, that puts you or other road users in danger. This is when the police will want to fine you. Australians have a great sense of hospitality and after having spend several hundred kilometers in a car, you have a good chance to be invited to sleep at their place and to go to the Casino with them to spend a bit of their money. Still there is a great difference in hitching the populated areas or the [[Outback]]. The [http://hitchwiki.org/en/Australia Hitchwiki page] will give you a lot more infos on hitchhiking in Australia. ====Travelling in the car of other backpackers==== There are so many travellers in Australia that it is really easy to find people to travel with by car/van in order to share costs and fun. However, it is not sure you will find like-minded people! In the youth hostels' bulletin boards, [https://www.shareyourride.net/carpool/Australia ShareYourRide Australia] or on [http://www.gumtree.com.au/ Gumtree] you can often find people offering rides from a place to another, for free or asking some money for food/fuel expenses, this really depends on the persons and the length of the trip. If you do not meet the people beforehand, and actually even if you meet them, you can have as much a bad as a good surprise! ====Buying a car/van==== Many longer-term visitors will buy a cheap car and then try to sell it again at a hostel before they leave. This is good if you time the seasons right, and can be tricky if you are trying to sell your car at the same time as everyone else who did this option. It is very easy to buy a car and get registered, but it is a bit more difficult to re-sell your car if it is not in the same state you bought it. If you car breaks down, you are supposed to get a little amount of money when bringing it to the wrecker. Then travelling, especially if your can/van is full, is going to be much cheaper then renting or by any other mean except [[hitchhiking]], [[walking]] or [[biking]]. You can find pretty easily people in the youth hostels or on internet pages. ====Car relocation==== If you don't mind a short schedule you can use a rental car relocation company such as Transfercar or Imoova, but there are hundreds of websites offering these kind of relocation services. Because some itineraries are preferred by tourists, a lot of cars can end up in some place and the company needs to bring it back to a big departure city. They offer then to get a car for free or cheap price for a predetermined amount of days, sometimes fuel offered and sometimes you can have an extra day by noticing the agency. It is a good way to cover long distance in a short amount of time with few money, especially if you are more than 2 and that hitchhiking doesn't look like an option to you. A typical journey for example could be [[Brisbane]] to [[Cairns]] over 4-6 days, maximum kilometres 2000, $50 free fuel included for $1 per day including insurance, extra days $75. However be careful not to be "ethically" fooled: in a way you help the company by driving their car down and making them save a lot of money, so they shouldn't charge you too much for this, if not charging you at all. ====Car rental==== The big name rental cars such as Hertz and Avis are fairly expensive. Look around the suburbs for smaller companies and cheaper cars, and as well on some comparative websites that offer very often good deals. This is a quite expensive option though, especially if you are under 25 years old because the price almost doubles as a young driver. On the website they give prices almost all the time like if you were above 25, and when you select your car and your options, you realize at the end that the insurance price doubles. Be aware of the restrictions such as where you can take the car and drop it and how many kilometers you can do per day (the cheapest cars are usually limited to 100km a day), and make sure you know the road rules. A rental camper van with friends is likely to be your cheapest option because you will save on accommodation costs. Consider motorhomes as well, some can fit 6 people and splitting costs can make it affordable. And it gives a nice "grandpa and grandma going on holidays"-feeling! Look at [http://www.wickedcampers.com.au Wicked Campers], they are usually pretty relaxed and they don't care if you are less than 25 year old. They use old vehicles that they paint so the cars and vans are really cool and unique, and they are often the cheapest of all rentals, except when other companies have good deals. As well, if you come and pick your vehicle naked, you get an extra free day, it gives you an idea of the company ;) You will need to be aware of your obligations as a driver and make sure you know the [http://www.driverknowledgetests.com/learners-permit/tourist/ road rules] ===By Plane=== [[Plane]] is the fastest, sometimes the cheapest of the non-free transport means and the less ecological you can take. [http://www.jetcost.com.au Jetcost Australia] gives usually nice prices and the article [[How to find cheap flights]] is well done. Like always be careful of your luggage limitation. ===By Bus=== Buses are slow and not that cheap compared to flights, but much more ecological. The main company is [http://greyhound.com.au Greyhound] but look for others. ===By Train=== [[Trains]] cover much of Australia, but aren't used that much. They are cheaper than buses and take about the same time, sometimes slower. You can use some for scenic touring but you will need a bit of budget. Good scenic tours are The Ghan and the train from [[Sydney]] to the [[Blue Mountains]]. ===By Bike=== [[Biking]] can be as awesome as it can be a pain in the bottom of your back if you know what I mean. Distances are huge in Australia and in some parts landscapes are the same for 300km or more. Cycling on the side of a main road with trucks and cars passing every few seconds or few minutes next to you is not only dangerous, it is very annoying as well. In some areas, you could leave the highway but you will have to cycle on dirt roads and make detours. So if you decide to get a bike and cycle, make sure you look very well on a map to get away from the main roads and still have some acceptable quality on the secondary roads. Look up as much what other bikers did and their personal experiences as well as their itinerary. Anyway a good advice is to have A LOT of water with you especially if you go out of the main road and/or in the summer. You might get stuck with the next town being 100km away so don't play with fire. Euh no with water. And don't forget to take a repairing set because snake skin won't work to fix a flat tyre. ===By camel or kangaroo=== This is definitely my favorite option. What on Earth beats crossing the desert jumping above fences and rivers on the back of your Skippy? At night you can enjoy the warmth of the kangaroo pocket or drink some camel milk for breakfast. There are two options to get one of these animals: either to buy it directly from any animal shop or to catch it with a lasso like in the good old times. Both techniques work really well as long as you remain respectful with your animal. To chose a healthy animal, just look if their teeths are in good condition. ===Personal experiences=== ''Some of my most amazing experiences have included a cold winter night wrapped in cardboard in an abandoned wheat silo sharing a humpy with aboriginals in a town camp on the edge of Tennant Creek, waking up only to bashing my head on the underside of a Dodge van I had crawled under to avoid the rain, only to be offered a cuppa tea by the occupants digging my car out of a salt lake when we took a wrong turn with two English backpackers as rain clouds loomed... This to me is the real Australia'' (Dave Hodgkin). |accommodation=When travelling, there are several ways to find a place where to stay. If you sleep in a car on an unauthorized place, remember this good advice that can avoid you a fine from Mister Policeman: tell them that you were too tired to keep drinving and that it could have been dangerous for your safety. Use the words "dangerous" and "safety" as much as you can, Australians are crazy in love about safety he he. ===Backpackers (youth hostels)=== Backpackers are not your cheapest option; you often pay AU$20-$25 or more, sometimes one day offered if you take the whole week. There are two types of backpackers that work quite differently, the city-ones or from the countryside. The city-ones are more like classic youth hostels, as the countryside ones are here to find jobs for the travellers. In this case the manager of the backpacker knows the farmers around, has a job network and distributes jobs at all travellers paying for his hostel. Your chance of getting a job depends then on how much you insist to the manager, how talented your manager is and this can fluctuate a lot, and if you are in the right season. In the South make sure you don't go there in the winter, some people stay stucked there with no money, surviving every week making just enough money to pay rent and a bit of food. In the North however there are almost continously jobs to find. It usually is a good idea to say when you arrive that you want to stay for 6 months or more to make a lot of money, they will give you a job more easily. And then you can leave a bit whenever as often you don't really have a contract. ===Campsites (private and natural parks)=== Like in every country there are some private campsites. They are quite expensive and not the most nicest places as they are full of classic tourist (and you are not, you are special don't forget it ha ha). But they might be your only legal option to put your tent/van/motorhome outside the big cities. A good compromise are the natural parks: Australia has so many tourists and had so many problems with them, with ecology and biodiversity conservation that they started putting National Parks everywhere with big restrictions, fire and [[camping]] for example, and rangers make sure these are respected. Often there are one or more campsites in the parks, with more or less infrastructure depending on the amount of tourists. Usually they are at a primary level of comfort but they often try to put a covered roof over a "barbie"-stove (barbecue stove) to respect Australian BBQ tradition ;) These campsites are much cheaper than backpackers or private campsites. They can be in remote places and then they have no check-in or check-out, only a box where you are supposed to put your money. It means that you don't have to pay, by leaving early for example. Rangers come usually everyday and check if everything is ok, meaning that they can tell you something/fine you if you didn't pay. They are most of the time quite relaxed but still will want you to pay. The money supposely goes into the park and the protection of fauna and flora so you might want to participate. ===Wild camping and wild caravaning=== Again Australia is so vaste that you will have no problems finding places where to free camp. However it can be tricky in some places and some States. Police/coast guards can follow your car if you look like you are searching for a place to stay, or you can be waken up. Of course, fines can happen but usually they just ask you to leave and with a warning that you car plate number was taken and that it shouldn't happen again. ===Hospitality exchange websites=== All classic advices found on the [[Hospitality exchange]] page are good, and it works pretty much like in all Western countries. ===Spontaneous hospitality=== Australians especially in the countryside, are very hospitable and [[spontaneous hospitality]] will be one of your best bets to sleep legally for free. Because houses are often big with a garden, you can easily ask to pitch a tent or a place to put your car/van. If you don't have a tent, find somewhere with a shelter and ask to sleep under, you will often be invited to come inside. ===Where to get free showers in Australia=== Australia has a really nice beach infrastructure so in any beach next to a city or one a bit frequented you will find a shower with clear water, sometimes open air but sometimes in a building. Look at the [[Free shower]] article for more general ideas. ===When you are really stuck for a place to stay=== You know you're off the tourist track when you get to a town without a [[Australia#Backpackers_.28youth_hostels.29|backpackers]]. Most small towns have a town pub that offers pretty cheap accommodation and many have a free campground on the edge of town or a picnic spot beside a river *'''Schoolyards'''. Normally there is somewhere discrete under cover, in most small towns there is green grass, and even toilets and drinking water, just set your alarm early and get out before 7:30ish when cleaning staff etc may start to arrive. *'''Non Returned soldiers areas at Cemeteries'''. Clearly not for the superstitious, but these sites tend to have nice soft green grass, and often have free public toilets and fresh drinking water. The cemetery at the end of thee railway line in Hexham on your way North out of [[Sydney]] is a classic, if headed North through from [[Canberra]] or [[Melbourne]], you can jump the train in Campbelltown or Parramatta, ride it through to Central Station, change to the Newcastle line, then switch to the Hexham line, and get off at the unnamed station for free, right next to the a great cemetery, right next to The Prince's Highway. *'''Shade structures as bus shelters'''. These can provide quite a comfortable night's sleep, as can late night train stations or Church Foyers. *'''Showgrounds'''. On the edge of towns often have toilets, water and a place undercover. |bewelcome-link=http://www.bewelcome.org/places/Australia/AU |food=Food in Australia is mostly expensive, one exception would be fast food. The cheapest supermarket is usually Coles, followed by Woolworths. IGA has mostly small corner supermarkets and is much more expensive. Try Asian Markets as they are usually much cheaper. But fortunately there are several ways to get your expenses down. * '''I don't want to use my gas to cook'''. Australian are fond of "barbies" and they put barbecue everywhere, sometimes in the most suprisingly places. Most of the time it is a covered place with a big metal plaque heated with gas or electricity by pressing a button. You can go and boil your pastas there, and just fry anything really. The cleanness really depends on the last user, so be prepared to have to do it yourself. But try to leave it cleaner than you found it ;) '''The student option.''' Microwaves and toasters, boiling water and more can sometimes be found at Universities. Have a look there if it's on your way. * '''I'm ok to eat old food'''. Three ways here: reduced products, dumpster diving or [[petrol stations]]. In Australia most of supermarkets are reducing the prices of their products that expire soon, from 10% to 70% or more the closest they get to expiry date so you can easily divide your food budget by two. More infos on dumpster diving in Australia can be found on [http://trashwiki.org/en/Australia Trashwiki]. '''[[Petrol stations]].''' By law after midnight products expire, and you can ask for "out of date products". You will definitely not get the first quality, organic, environmental-friendly-produced food but it will be free or very very cheap. Probably the few coins you give are going into the seller's pocket. * '''I'm in [[Melbourne]] or [[Sydney]] without money.''' Or I'm with money and willing to share it. [http://lentilasanything.com Lentil as Anything] offers vegan and vegetarian food for free donation. Good food and great place for budget travellers, but don't forget that these places need a balance of too much and too less donation in order to survive. * '''I want to get drunk but it's expensive!''' Alcool is very expensive in Australia and can only be found in special "bottle shops" or pubs. Don't make the mistake when you first arrive in Australia to buy "Ginger beer" in the supermarket, it is a non-alcoolic drink as close to beer as the kangaroo is close to the koala. It doesn't mean that it is bad of course, just different. The only option for cheap alcool really is to buy "goon": it is white, red or rosé wine found in 2 to 5 liters carboxes for about AU$12-18 the 4-5 liters. It tastes bad and it is most likely a mixture of all unused wines, but you get used to it after a while. On the back it is written that it "may contain traces of eggs or milk", niiiice. The white one very cold is acceptable and the red one as a sangria with fruits and spices can even surprise you. The rest of the alcools are very expensive, but so much nicer to drink. Drinking in the street is mostly prohibited and it is a bit more relaxed in parks. In pubs, you will have to look around, usually there is one or two good happy hours every evening and by changing bar every night you can get cheaper prices. * '''Cheap coffee.''' You will definitely support a fast-food company, but all the coffees at Hungry Jack's are usually big, a bit tasteless and AU$1 only, which is much cheaper than a normal café or bar. * '''Shop lifting'''. French people are so known in Australia for it that [[stealing]] is sometimes called "French shopping". But a lot of travelers starts to shoplift because the prices are so high and Australian so trustful. In big shops there are cameras of course but not as much as in [[France]] for example (and this is why French do it a lot!). In some cheap clothes shops there are no electronic protection and it is possible to just use your favorite technique. If you get caught, they usually ask you to pay for the items, they write your name down and picture, and they might ban you from any of the company's shop. Be aware that [[shoplifting]] is a strong debated question among travelers as an ethical issue. |connectivity=The fast-foods: McDonald's and Hungry Jacks are really ok with it. Street wifi is usual as well on the main pedestrian areas. Or you can try the libraries which have free-wifi and computers most of the time. [http://www.optus.com.au/shop/mobile/prepaid/plans Optus Prepaid] has a good compromise if you need big internet and unlimited calls/sms. For AU$2 a day and no contract, you get 6Go, but it seems like you can go above this limit. With a smartphone, you can often share internet to your computer. |busking=Busking is an great way to make money in Australia. People have money and it is really in the culture to give some of it to buskers. However it might be a bit more difficult in the countryside, but showing your talents at a petrol station while waiting for a lift can even make you earn a few dollars on the way. In the mains streets of the biggest city, busking might not be free though: a bit weird to say he? You sometimes need a permit and to pay for it, with only a limited amount of time and a special spot. It is usually a symbolic price compared to what you can earn, however you might be reluctant to pay for performing free street art. [[Adelaide]] in February-March has one of the biggest [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adelaide_Fringe_Festival Fringe Festival] of the world. 1,5 million people spend their time there spread over 24 days and the entire city center is full of street artists. You could make some serial busking during this period. |visa=If you are planning a holiday visit or a short business trip to '''Australia''', you will need to apply for either a visa or an ETA (Electronic Travel Authority). Established in 1996 to remove the need for some people to apply for full visas, they can be applied for over the Internet, through travel agents and through airlines. Unless there is some problem with the application, the ETA is granted immediately. Unlike ordinary visas, when an ETA is issued, no stamp or other documentation is added to the holder's passport; instead the computer-based system links the passport number to the ETA and is accessible by immigration officials. == Passport == == Visa requirements == Holders of passports from the following 34 countries are eligible to apply for an ETA in lieu of a visa: Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Brunei, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong (SAR), Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, Monaco, The Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Republic of San Marino, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, United Kingdom - British Citizen, United Kingdom - British National (Overseas), United States of America, Vatican City Holders of Taiwan passports can only be processed for an ETA if resident in and applying in Taiwan. Holders of UK passports which indicate their nationality to be British National (Overseas) (BNO) can be processed for an ETA if applying via a travel agent, airline, or at an office of the department. BNO passport holders cannot apply for their ETA online. [[New Zealand]] passport holders are not eligible for an ETA as New Zealand passport holders may enter Australia without prior notice. New Zealand citizens are issued a Special Category visa on arrival, which entitles them to live, work and study unrestricted in Australia permanently. Holders of passports from all other countries must apply for a visa at their local embassy or consulate. ==Types of visa and cost== There is a service fee of $20 (AUD) to apply for an ETA online. This service requires a valid credit card. ==Useful tips== == Australian Embassies, High Commissions and/or Consulates == ===Austria=== * '''''Australian Embassy, Vienna''''' Mattiellistraße 2-4 <br> A -1040 Vienna <br> Austria <br> Telephone: +43 1 506 740 <br> Fax: +43 1 504 1178 <br> Email: mailto:austemb@aon.at <br> Web Site: http://www.austria.embassy.gov.au ===Canada=== * '''''Australian High Commission, Ottawa''''' Suite 710, 50 O'Connor Street <br> Ottawa Ontario K1P 6L2 <br> Canada<br> Telephone: +1 613 236 0841 <br> Fax: +1 613 236 4376 <br> Email: mailto:immigration.ottawa@dfat.gov.au <br> Web Site: http://www.canada.embassy.gov.au * '''''Australian Consulate-General, Toronto''''' Suite 1100 South Tower <br> 175 Bloor Street, <br> East Toronto, Ontario, M4W 3R8 <br> Canada <br> Telephone: +1 416 323 1155 <br> Fax: +1 416 323 3910 * '''''Australian Consulate-General, Vancouver''''' Suite 2050 - 1075 West Georgia Street, <br> Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 3C9 <br> Canada <br> Telephone: +1 604 684 1177 <br> Fax: +1 604 684 1856 ===France=== * '''''Australian Embassy, Paris''''' 4 Rue Jean Rey <br> Paris 75724 Cedex 15 <br> France <br> Telephone: +33 1 4059 3300 <br> Fax: +33 1 4059 3315 <br> Email: mailto:Info.Paris@dfat.gov.au <br> Web Site: http://www.france.embassy.gov.au/ ===India=== * '''''Australian High Commission, New Delhi''''' 1/50 - G, Shantipath <br> Chanakyapuri, <br> New Delhi 100 021 <br> India<br> Telephone: +91 11 4139 9900 <br> Fax: +91 11 4149 4490 <br> Email: mailto:austhighcom.newdelhi@dfat.gov.au <br> Web Site: http://www.ausgovindia.com/ * '''''Australian Consulate-General, Chennai''''' 512, Alpha Wing, Raheja Towers <br> 177, Anna Salai <br> Chennai, TN 600 002 <br> India <br> Telephone: +91 44 2860 1160 <br> Fax: +91 44 2860 4988 * '''''Australian Consulate-General, Mumbai''''' 36 Maker Chambers VI <br> 220 Nariman Point <br> Mumbai, MH 400 021 <br> India <br> Telephone: +91 22 6669 2000 <br> Fax: +91 22 6669 2005 ===Indonesia=== * '''''Australian High Commission, Jakarta''''' Jalan H.R.

The missionary visa is mandatory for anyone who is visiting India "primarily to take part in religious activities". This rule is meant to combat religious conversion, particularly of Hindus to Christianity. There have been cases where preachers have been deported for addressing religious congregations while on a tourist visa. You don't need to be worried if you are just on a religious tour of churches in India.

Depending on your purpose of visit, you can get a tourist visa (six months ~US $60, one year ~US $75), a business visa (6 months, one year or more, multiple entries) or a student visa (up to 5 years). A special 10 year visa (US $150, business and tourist) is available to US citizens only. Note that some Indian embassies only offers visas to residents of that country: this means you should get your visa before you leave home, instead of trying to get in a neighboring country. == Useful tips == It's wise to ask for a multiple entry visa even if you aren't planning to use it - they cost the same, are handed out pretty liberally and come in handy if you decide last minute to dip into one of the neighboring countries. == Indian Embassies, High Commissions and/or Consulates == === Australia === * '''''High Commission of India, Canberra''''' 3-5, Moonah Place <br> Yarralumla <br> Canberra, ACT 2600 <br> Australia <br> Telephone: +61 2 6273 3999, 6273 3774, 6273 3875 <br> Fax: +61 2 6273 1308 <br> Email: mailto:hcicouns@bigpond.com <br>Web Site : http://www.hcindia-au.org * '''''Consulate General of India, Melbourne''''' 15 Munro Street <br> Coburg, Victoria, 3058 <br> Australia <br> Phone: +61 3 9384 0141 <br> Fax: +61 3 9384 1609 <br> Email: mailto:consular@cgimelb.org <br> Web Site: http://www.cgimelb.org/ * '''''Consulate General of India, Sydney''''' Level 27, 25 Bligh Street <br> Sydney, NSW 2000 <br> Australia <br> Phone: +61 2 9223 9500 <br> Fax: +61 2 9223 9246 <br> Email: mailto:indianc@indianconsulatesydney.org <br> Web Site: http://www.indianconsulatesydney.org/ * '''''Honorary Consulate of India, Brisbane''''' 175 A, Swann Road <br> Taringa, QLD 4068 <br> Australia <br> Phone: +61 7 3871 3362 <br> Fax: +61 7 3371 5198 <br> Email: mailto:indcon@optusnet.com.au * '''''Honorary Consulate of India, Perth''''' Suite 21, 2nd Floor , Lincoln House <br> 4 Ventnor Avenue <br> West Perth, WA 6005 <br> Australia <br> Phone: +61 8 9486 9011 <br> Fax: +61 8 9486 9611 <br> Email: mailto:consul@wa1.quik.com.au === Canada === * '''''High Commission of India, Ottawa''''' 10 Springfield Road <br> Ottawa, Ontario, K1M 1C9 <br> Canada <br> Phone: +1 (613)744 3751/52/53 <br> Fax: +1 (613)744 0913 <br> Email: mailto:hicomind@hciottawa.ca <br> Web Site: http://www.hciottawa.ca/ * '''''Consulate General of India, Toronto''''' 365 Bloor Street(East) Suite # 700 <br> Toronto, Ontario, M4W 3L4 <br> Canada <br> Phone: +1 (416) 960 0751/52, (416)960 4831, (416)960 8173 <br> Fax: +1 (416)960 9812 <br> E mail: mailto:cgindia@cgitoronto.ca <br> Website: http://www.cgitoronto.ca * '''''Consulate General of India, Vancouver''''' 201-325 Howe Street <br> Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 1Z7 <br> Canada <br> Phone: +1 (604)662 8811 <br> Fax: +1(604)682 2471 <br> E mail: mailto:indiapscg@telus.net <br> Website: http://www.cgivancouver.com === China === * '''''Embassy of India, Beijing, China (People's Republic)''''' 1, Ritan Dong Lu <br> Beijing, 100600 <br> China <br> Phone: +86 (10) 6532 1908 <br> Fax: +86 (10) 6532 2684 <br> Email: mailto:indembch@public3.bta.net.cn <br> Web Site: http://www.indianembassy.org.cn/ <br> Office Hours: 8.30 A.M. to 5.30P.M.

The missionary visa is mandatory for anyone who is visiting India "primarily to take part in religious activities". This rule is meant to combat religious conversion, particularly of Hindus to Christianity. There have been cases where preachers have been deported for addressing religious congregations while on a tourist visa. You don't need to be worried if you are just on a religious tour of churches in India. If you are on a Student, Employment, Research or Missionary visa, you need to register within 14 days of arrival with the Foreigners Regional Registration Office where you will be staying. If the place you are staying at doesn't have one, you need to register at the local police station. All visitors who intend to stay more than 180 days also need to be registered. * '''Tourist Visa''': If you are coming to India on a holiday to explore the country, then, tourist visa is for you. * '''Business Visa''': For a business related trip, you need to apply for the business visa. * '''Student Visa''': For study purpose in India is the student visa. * '''Transit Visa''': It is meant for transit passengers only, to enable them to travel through India to reach the ultimate destination. * '''Missionaries Visa''': This visa is for people coming to India to act as missionaries. * '''Employment Visa''': Meant for skilled professionals or those people who have been appointed by Indian companies, organizations, firms, etc. * '''Journalist Visa''': Professional journalists and photographers visiting India should apply for the Journalist visa. * '''Conference Visa''': It is issued for attending conferences/seminars/meetings in India. * '''Research Visa''': For research purposes, a research visa is issued. * '''Entry Visa''': It is given only to persons of Indian origin or the family members of a person employed in India.

English and French are the two official languages of the country. English, being spoken by 3/4 of the population, is the majority language in most provinces. French is the main official language in the province of Quebec, but also widely spoken in New Brunswick and some areas of Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and Manitoba. Inuktitut is the main language in Nunavut and has official status there but English is still widely spoken. For the convenience of the common hitchhiker the provinces and territories are discussed in detail, along with their capitals, in separate pages. * [[Atlantic Provinces]] ([[New Brunswick]], [[Newfoundland and Labrador]], [[Nova Scotia]], [[Prince Edward Island]]) * [[Quebec]] * [[Ontario]] * [[Prairies]] ([[Alberta]], [[Manitoba]], [[Saskatchewan]]) === * [[British Columbia]], the westernmost province in Canada ([https://www.facebook.com/groups/FREE.NOMADS/permalink/1572158392995876/ FB discussion about sea punks in British Columbia]) * [[The North (Canada|The North]] ([[Northwest Territories]], [[Nunavut]], [[Yukon]]) |transport=For a journey across the country, the [[Trans-Canada Highway]] is the main road crossing the country east to west. However, the highway system numbering system is specific to every province. |bewelcome-link=http://www.bewelcome.org/places/Canada/CA |connectivity==== Telecommunication === The best and cheapest way is to contact people in the area you are is to find the nearest phone booth. There are plenty within the cities and even the in country side; usually you will find one by every petrol station, or by shops or restaurants. Unlike many countries, they are usually in good condition, so always make sure to have a pre-paid phone-card or a few 'quarters' available. Local calls cost two quarters (50 cents), but in some areas what seems to be a local call will in fact be a 'long distance call' and the phone will request an higher amount. It's simplest to call using pre-paid calling cards. You can make calls from public phones without using coins when you dial the card's toll-free "1-800" number, and, for many of these cards, there is no extra fee for making the call from a public phone. Credit is deducted from the card at the same rate as with calls from land-lines. Most cards will cost somewhere between 2 and 10 cents per minute for calls to anywhere in Canada. The same, or similar, rates will often apply to calls to the United States and parts of Europe as well. If the person you are trying to contact is expecting a call from you, and you don't have a pre-paid phone card, you can also try to call them 'collect'. It usually costs less than the amount requested by the booth and it is normal practice (does not apply for mobile phones!) to receive and accept collect call. To do a collect call, simply dial '0' and follow the instructions of the operator. Mobile phone networks have improved dramatically over the years, and most people carry a cellular phone with them. "Roaming" charges will usually apply when outside of your local coverage area. === Internet === Internet cafés are rare and will only exist in main urban and touristic centres. They are not frequented by locals, so it is possible that nobody knows if there is one in the surrounding area. In rural areas, Internet may be limited to dial-up only. In most Canadian cities and towns of significant size, there are public libraries which offer free internet access to the general public - regardless of where you are from. This is generally the best bet for travelers without their own computer or access to a friend's. If there are several people waiting to use them though, you may have to wait a while for one to be available. You'll usually be given a time block of anywhere from 15 minutes to one hour. Many college and university libraries also provide free internet access to the public. Ask the circulation desk staff. College and university guest accounts will let you use the Internet as much as you like, but only for the current day. |visa=Visitors from most countries will be required to apply for a tourist visa in advance before travelling to '''Canada'''. Canada has only one neighbour, the [[United States of America|United States]], and even if this border is known as the longest unprotected border in the world, entering the country as a backpacker, hiker or hitchhiker might be a hard, especially since 2001. The border control is quite tight, especially since the unproven allegation that some terrorists came from Canada. Questions might be asked about the relations between passengers in a car. Because of these strong security measures, a hitchhiker probably will have to cross the border by foot and start again once the control is done. You might also discuss with your driver beforehand in the matter to get to know each other and to ensure that everything will be alright with the crossing and that s/he is fine with the hassle (or fine waiting for you if you are being interrogated). The vast majority of the drivers will be frisky at helping a stranger to cross from Canada to the States in their car. The best way to be at a border control is too remain calm, be confident, do not lie and simply answer the questions as asked without being witty or vague. Just remember that you do not have to tell that you are bumming around and bring some suspicious travelling plan (yes, hiking and hitching around in a ''blown by the wind way'' is a suspicious thing! Especially for the the average citizen!). So just be reliable, show enthusiasm and that your adventure is part of a life plan holiday... not a way to escape reality. It is custom to be asked to prove that you have the means to sustain your holiday (money) and that your holiday is part of a plan (a return ticket). Also bear in mind that most Canadian and American land crossing control are separated from each other by a no man's land short distance between the two borders in which you will only be controlled by the welcoming country. So if you get denied entrance by one, you will have further enquiry to enter back into the country you came from. === Passports for U.S. and Canadian citizens === Tourists must hold a passport valid for a least six months prior to arrival in Canada. [[United States]] citizens travelling by land or sea do not need to show a passport until at least 2009, and can use a birth certificate and government-issued photo identification card (such as a current driver's license) in lieu of a passport. U.S. citizens travelling to Canada by air must hold a passport. From Summer 2009 on, U.S. and Canadian citizens are required to show a passport to cross the border. Also, if you are a U.S. citizen going into Canada or a Canadian going into the U.S., a guard can deny you entry for a number of reasons (usually because of a criminal record or you don't look like you have enough money for lunch at a fast-food restaurant). ''Every border crossing point will usually be discussed in greater details in the appropriate province page.'' === Visa requirements === Many people do not require visas to enter Canada, including: * Citizens of [[Andorra]], [[Antigua and Barbuda]], [[Australia]], [[Austria]], [[Bahamas]], [[Barbados]], [[Belgium]], [[Botswana]], [[Brunei]], [[Costa Rica]], [[Cyprus]], [[Denmark]], [[Finland]], [[France]], [[Germany]], [[Greece]], [[Hungary]], [[Iceland]], [[Ireland]], [[Israel]] (National Passport holders only), [[Italy]], [[Japan]], [[Liechtenstein]], [[Lithuania]], [[Luxembourg]], ]]Malta]], [[Mexico]], [[Monaco]], [[Namibia]], [[Netherlands]], [[New Zealand]], [[Norway]], [[Papua New Guinea]], [[Poland]], [[Portugal]], [[Republic of Korea]], [[St. Kitts and Nevis]], [[St. Lucia]], [[St. Vincent]], [[San Marino]], [[Singapore]], [[Solomon Islands]], [[Spain]], [[Swaziland]], [[Sweden]], [[Slovakia]], [[Slovenia]], [[Switzerland]], [[United States]] and [[Western Samoa]]. * Persons lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence who are in possession of their alien registration card (Green card) or can provide other evidence of permanent residence. * British citizens and British Overseas Citizens who are re-admissible to the United Kingdom; * Citizens of [[United Kingdom|British dependent territories]] who derive their citizenship through birth, descent, registration or naturalization in one of the British dependent territories of [[Anguilla]], [[Bermuda]]], [[British Virgin Islands]], [[Cayman Islands]], [[Falkland Islands]], [[Gibraltar]], [[Montserrat]], [[Pitcairn]], [[St. Helena]] or the [[Turkey|Turks]] and [[Caicos Islands]]. * Persons holding a valid and subsisting Special Administrative Region passport issued by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of [[China]]; ===Types of visa and cost=== There are three main types of temporary resident visas: * '''Single-entry visas''' allow one entry only to Canada within the validity of the visa. * '''Multiple-entry visas''' allow unlimited entries to Canada within the validity of the visa. * '''Transit visas''' allow for a short stop-over (maximum 48 hours) entry to Canada en route to another country. It can be granted for a single or multiple entries, depending on the applicant’s travel requirements. Example: If your return travel is also through Canada, you should request a transit visa valid for two entries. The validity of a visa is determined by a visa officer. Single-entry visas are normally valid for six months, and multiple-entry visas may be valid for longer periods. The validity date is the period by which you may enter Canada. A single-entry visa is $75 and a multiple-entry visa is $150. If your whole family is applying together for either single-entry or multiple-entry visas, the fee is $400. There is no fee for a transit visa. ===Useful tips=== * The vast majority of tourist visa applications are processed within 2 weeks, however wait times vary from one embassy/consulate to another. Consult the following website to gauge the processing times at your nearest embassy/consulate: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/international/13-temp-visitors.asp * In most cases, you will be required to show documented proof of ties to your home country, such as letters from your employer, salary receipts, deeds on properties, bank and credit card statements, old passports bearing proof of previous travel abroad, and letters of invitation. === While Crossing the Border === Don't panic! Just because a border guard treats you like a scumbag doesn't mean you are one. Armed with this attitude try and maintain your dignity and self-confidence throughout the encounter and the guard will more likely respect you (even if he or she doesn't show it). Trust me, things will go more smoothly. If you're passing the border inside a car, don't advertise the fact that you are a hitchhiker. But if it becomes obvious, don't try and deny it, either. Remember, there's no shame in hitching. === Canadian embassies and/or consulates === A complete listing of Canadian embassies abroad can be found at: http://www.voyage.gc.ca/main/foreign/fordest/foreign_view_client-en.asp * '''Argentina''' Canadian Embassy -

Good option for entering is an elevator - there are no turnstiles before and after it. You can jump the turnstiles, walk in with someone who has a ticket (the turnstiles are big enough for two people), or if you're feeling brave, you can walk around and open the emergency exit door and walk through. None of them are alarmed, and when the door is open, it stays open and almost '''everyone''' in Warsaw automatically walks in that door instead of the turnstile. The trams and buses, including night buses, are also easy. The drivers and controllers are from independent companies so the driver doesn't care if you have a ticket or not. Much of the regular buses and trams now have more ticket inspectors, as prices of tickets have been raised. Compared to other European cities tickets are still cheap and can be bought everywhere. The easiest is a single ticket for 4.40zł, about 1,10€. Controllers are usually undercover, but can be spotted if you know what to look for: They are almost always male, operating mostly in groups of two. So if you see two guys at the bus stop talking with or looking at each other and then getting in at different doors, be alarmed. Also, they usually wear something like a hip belt to carry their gear. Every time I met them they were wearing a nice shirt with a collar under they normal clothes. So it is maybe some rule from their dress code. The longer distance trains are impossible to blackride unless you're clever.

Trams and metro can be entered without turnikets/drivers checking. In trams controls are not so frequent. You can sit in the front and look at stops if controllers are there. They can wear blue uniforms or be in civil clothes; probably in two or groups (didn't meet them). Beware in metro, controllers can wait under escalators. Trains named by letters (S, U, L, E, P, ...) can be black-ridden successfully. People in green striped T-shirts and gray vests are just selling tickets, not checking. Control can be random in similar fashion to metro or tram. Buses are not blackrideable. Drivers are checking your card or selling tickets. Price for single ticket (?1.5 hours) is 3 EUR (from which zone?). It can be bought from drivers. Global fine for blackriding is 80 EUR. What happens if you get caught and (don't have money) or (refuse to pay) and (don't prove your identity) needs to be researched. |accommodation====Camping=== There are many green areas around Helsinki where it may be possible to camp. ''Keskuspuisto'' (Central Park) is a large forest area near the centre. ''Mustikkamaa'' island can be an option for a short term camping. Stay away from the guarded beach. It can get quite crowded in the morning, especially in sunny summer days. There are cold outdoor showers at the guarded beach and a water source behind the wooden buildings. Note that there is a new walk + cycle bridge to the island, which is not marked on paper touristic maps. Please use this camping option only for a day or two and don't make fire and mess. The places are quite exposed and overuse/misuse may start bothering people. Also stay away from buildings. There are forests and lakes further from Helsinki which could be used even for longer camping.

Previously published as the "Tiny guide for the out-of-home vegan", this text is dedicated both to the adventurous ramblers and those who have a normal job but don't have enough time or can't rely on the use of a stove to cook their daily meals. I've often met people saying "I had started eating vegan, but then.. you know, I was working eight hours a day, I had to eat outside and I couldn't find many options for me". My vegan nomad experience is made of two long journeys. On the first I was poorly determined and after a few months I was won over by the gentle call of the ''comedores'', tiny central american restaurants where the owner – usually a woman with kids – is also the cook, the waiter and the cleaner. In these places, above all, the only vegan options, that I had until saturation, where rice and black beans. So I gave way to laziness and I added some eggs and cheese to my daily menu. A few years later I was ''on the road'' again, infinitely more determined to keep vegan the whole travel, that finally lasted more than one and a half year. With some organization and a bit of equipment I managed to enjoy healthy, vegan, diverse and tasty foods for the whole trip. Thus I gather in this script the fruits of these experiences, the recipes and the tricks I invented, to help with some suggestions both the warriors that are about to take the backpack, and those who defy the culinary traditions in the cities, the same people who – despite the traffic, the always lacking time and money, the carcasses-filled fast foods, the thousands of appointments on one and the other side of the city – keep struggling to follow their choice.

Their purpose is to make available to us some elements that are usually a bit difficult to find. In the section “Common ingredients for on the fly meals” we list some foods that are easy to find. Among them there's bread. Now, we know that white bread is not the best, while wholemeal bread (with seeds) is way more nutritionally rich. For this reason we propose the recipe of the “Lembas, or waybread”, that are very tasty even alone, without anything else. In other words if the travel is long, the first two or three days we can accompany the Lembas with the fruits and veggies we buy from the market. Then, when they're finished, we can use normal bread instead. In this way we'll also have a certain variety. The same thing is for the “Crunchy beans”: legumes are usually difficult to cook out of home, thus carrying some cooked-and-dried ones helps to supply a certain amount of proteins. =Waybread (Lembas)= <i>Tolkien's legends tell that Elfs carry with them Lembas, also known as “waybread”, during their long travels. Here you are our version, easy to prepare even without an oven. Ingredients: * wheat flour, the best is wholemeal flour * local oily seeds, like for example: sunflower seeds, walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds, peanuts, sesame seeds, flaxseeds, cocoa beans * baking soda * water, salt We toast the seeds, then we grind them. We make a dough mixing the ground seeds with an equivalent amount of flour, a pinch of salt and a pinch of baking soda (optional). We then slowly add water until we can make a malleable dough. We heat a pan or a metal plate. When it's quite hot we make some sort of “chapati” with a rolling pin, or we just use our fingertips. We put them on the hot plate and after one side is well cooked, or even a bit burn, we turn the chapati on the other side. These tiny chapati can be stored in a cloth towel for up to three days; they can be eaten alone or with some sauce and, because of the vegetable fats in the seeds, they give a lot of energy and take little space and weight.</i> =Wonder sandwiches= <i>“I'm going to leave, I'm preparing some sandwiches, what shall I put in?” People commonly think of sandwiches as something to be filled with ham and cheese, and they can't think about any other thing to put into. Here we give a list of suggestions of tasty fillings: * lettuce and mustard * peanut butter and tomatoes * a salad made of lettuce, tomatoes, grated carrots, corn, olives or capers, tahini * any of the foods in the section “Common ingredients for on the fly meals” * tomato, chopped avocado, onion * any salad * cooked lentils, beans or chickpeas (See the Soup recipe in my Tiny guide of healthy cuisine)</i> =Crunchy beans= <i>Crunchy beans are a healthy and tasty snack, easy to prepare and carry around. They look like the chickpeas you find in the patronal feasts. Ingredients: * beans * salt We soak the beans overnight. The day after we cook them in a normal pot or a pressure pot. We cook them half of the time they would normally need. We add some salt to the water, then we keep them two more minutes on the fire. We turn off the fire and drain them. We put the beans on a towel, to dry them. If it's possible we place them in the sun, to dry faster. When they're well dry they can be eaten as if they were peanuts, or nuts. If we like we can also toast them on a pan. If we're able to dry them very well we get some beans that last quite a few days.

You can find the [[Tiny Guide for the Vegan Traveler|index here]]. =The markets= The healthiest food we can find on the road are surely the fruits, abundant in the markets. Fresh, sweet, raw, they're for sure the first choice of the well-fed stove-less vegan. In the same markets we can also find those veggies that can be eaten without cooking, like carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, zucchini, mushrooms, peppers, pumpkin, corn, beetroot, avocados and so on. All them can be chopped in small pieces, or grated (See the Salad recipe in my Tiny guide to healthy cuisine). =Seeds and dried fruits= We can find them more and more often in the markets and supermarkets. They're an excellent healthy and space-saving source of energy. We're talking about the so called oily seeds: walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, peanuts, cashews and so on. We often find them packed with: raisins, figs, apricots. Simply delicious and nourishing! =Oat flakes – Müsli= Easy to carry and to prepare: you only need to add water!! And if you wish to make it even more tasty you can add wholemeal cane sugar, cinnamon, chopped fruits and/or raisins. =Bread= It's often made of refined (white) flour. Even so, bread sadly represents the main source of energy for the vegan traveler. Obviously we should prefer wholemeal bread, or even rye bread, the black one rich of seeds that is very popular in northern Europe countries. The reasons for this choice are two: it's healthier, for its higher content of fiber and minerals; it's also cheaper and more fulfilling. White bread, indeed, fills up but doesn't satisfy, and often we're hungry again just a few hours after a meal. For this reason we then need to buy and eat again. A traveler can't afford to buy and carry big quantities of food; (s)he can't even afford to stop often to eat. Then, we not only need to know how to choose bread, we also need to know how to eat it: we must chew it very well. In this way it mixes with ptyalin, an enzyme of saliva that breaks down starch into simpler sugars, and makes it possible the digestion. =Canned legumes= Canned legumes (like beans, etc.) are normally found in any supermarket. They've different advantages: they're nourishing food, you usually find a good variety in supermarkets, they're quick to use and in some countries (like Denmark, Sweden and sometimes also in Italy) they come already with tomato sauce, basil, onion and other flavors. Once the can is open we can pour the content in a bowl and eat it with bread or crackers. =Tomato sauce= Tomato sauce is another product that is easily found in the supermarkets and can be used to set up a quick lunch if you cannot cook. Usually used with pasta, it goes well also with bread and/or legumes. =Vegetables preserved in oil and in vinegar= Very popular in the mediterranean countries, the foods preserved in oil and in vinegar are valid options to make a meal without a stove: you can usually find eggplants, sundried tomatoes, mushrooms, artichokes prepared this way. =Jam= Available in any supermarket, it's perfect with bread or the “Lembas”. =Chocolate bars= It's quite popular but not everybody thinks about it: bread and chocolate bars. Dark chocolate, of course. You just cut the sandwich in half, put the bar in it, and enjoy!

In this way we will not depend on any specific restaurant nor bakery, but we'll have the certainty of finding something for us even in other places. I'm talking about regional typical foods. So we'll have “focaccia” and “pizza marinara” in almost every part of Italy, “taralli”, “cecina” in Tuscany, “baklava” in the Balcans, “zacuscă” in Romania, “ajvar” in Macedonia, etc. Let's then find out which brands make vegan biscuits. The multigrain ones are usually vegan. But beware the chemicals in them! We must read the ingredients and not abuse of margarine, hydrogenated oils and preservatives. Let's also pay attention whether there are people who sell homemade food in the street. This practice, absolutely common in “developing” countries is sadly forbidden in the “civilized” Europe. Even so with a bit of luck we might be able to find some homemade bites in the suburban areas and small towns, in southern and eastern Europe. =Local ingredients= Every country has its own vegan delicacies, sometimes hidden, sometimes not. So we'll taste “helva” in the Balkans, “humus” in arabic countries, peanut butter in the Americas, “dulce de guayaba” in Colombia and so on. We just need curiosity and the cheek to ask for informations. =Get organized= With little planning we can improve a lot the quality of our nutrition. For example we can cook more than what is strictly needed for one meal, and save the leftovers for later. Thus we can: * cook on the morning for the whole day * cook in the evening for the next day * cook one day for the next two or three days =Access to kitchen= If we travel with hospitality networks or in hostels we must find places where we can cook. So we'll also have chance of pleasant sharing, and learning new recipes and how to use local ingredients. =Dumpster-diving= Dumpster-diving (also called “recycling”) is very useful to travelers. There are two ways of doing it: one is asking to the sellers if they've something too old to be sold and that can give away for free; and the other way is going to check into supermarket bins for good things they've thrown away. When the pocket makes the rules, recycling is an important practice to vary the menu and stop relying on those products – like beans and refined cereals – that for their economical convenience end up being the base of our diet. Fruits and veggies are fundamentals to health and strength. =Harvesting spontaneous herbs and fruits= I mean fruit trees that grow on the side of the street, those who are spontaneous in the countryside and in the woods, and the edible herbs that an experienced eye can easily recognize. Figs, berries, pears, mangoes, nettle, dandelion, borage, chicory, are all delights that can be found according to landscape and latitude. =Hare Krishna= Finally a special mention is owed to the Hare Krishna community. They're a religious group with roots into Hinduism, well known for owning vegetarian restaurants in most main cities of the world. Their beliefs support lacteo-vegetarian nutrition, but they often have vegan options at very popular prices.

Useful to peel and chop fruits and veggies, cut bread and so on. It can be a pen knife or, to avoid any problem with punctilious officers, we can choose a common kitchen knife: serrated, rounded tip, and fold into a towel in order to make explicit its culinary use. =The salt= It's quite useful to have with us a tiny container with a few grams of salt. Even if vegans develop a sharp sensitivity to flavors and their meals are usually low in salt, still in many occasions you'll feel a huge difference between presence and absence of this natural spice. ''“An avocado and tortillas without salt is like a sky without stars”''. =The hermetically sealed container= It allows us to save some food cooked at home for up to five to ten hours, depending on the temperature of the environment.

It makes it an overcrowded and very touristy city in the summer (and very hot), and very quiet in the winter (with acceptable temperatures when not raining). The city center and the coast line is nice, but it is not very wide and the city inland is nothing special. Going more East and West of the city, it is a continuous line of hotels for several kilometers on each side. However, once out of these new touristy constructions, mountains are great and sea side is beautiful and it seems to have been chosen by many nomads as temporary base.! |transport=All public transport (buses, tramways and dolmushes) cost 2TL or 1TL if student per run (except to the airport, good location to hitch eastwards, that costs 4TL). For bus you don't need any card and can pay directly to the driver, though you must pay each time you jump in. For trams however you need to buy a 2TL-card which can be reused, and you can pay for several person with one. Blackriding is not impossible, especially in the tram, but you should be careful that the security guard, who is there on each tram stop does not notice you. |accommodation===Hostels, hotels, pansyions== The old town is full of touristic options for accomodation, which in some cases might be also affordable, like dorms for 10€/night. There's not an actual youth hostel but several hotels providing hostel-like accommodation. One should open in March/April 2014 (will most likely be called Rules Street). If someone could confirm this once they opened! Pansiyons will be usually cheaper than hostels, but this is only a general rule. ==Free accommodation== [[Hospitality exchange]] community is functioning pretty good, as well as [[spontaneous hospitality]]. But otherwise you can try the Atatürk Park which is next to the coast on the West side of the city center (so facing the see on the right). In the summer it can be very crowded so have a look before putting your tent. In the winter however it should be very possible to sleep there. Keep in mind that rain can be very heavy in Antalya, and all the water from the city goes to the sea, so you might be wet-waken up during the night ;) There are 2 beaches (Konyaaltı and Lara) where you can easily camp.

Many of the more expensive or tourist-oriented bars and restaurants have a wifi network, but quite frequently it doesn’t work or is extremely slow. It is advisable to test the connection before ordering something, as often even the staff are not aware that the network doesn’t work. It is usually acceptable to order something small (Çay (black tea) is usually the cheapest (2–3 TL), it is sold everywhere and is vegan) and sit there for hours. Be aware that many places don’t have sockets, even international chains like Starbucks. The [https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/431526032 municipal library] is open to the public (closed on Mondays) and has free Wifi and many workspaces, some with sockets. They have a new open WiFi now that has a strong signal throughout the whole library (DOGAN_HIZLAN and DOGAN_HIZLAN 2. After connecting, you will be redirected to a page where you should need to type in the password *doganhizlan*07). (There used to be a WiFi called TD854W_1, password *dogalhizlan*07, that only properly worked in the newspaper section close to the entrance.) Opposite of the library, on the other side of the stream, there are several shelters (with a roof and some half-destroyed red brick walls) that have sockets. Most of them are turned off most of the time, but if you search for a while, maybe you find one that works (last time I was lucky in the furthest down shelter with the socket that is the furthest away from the library. Remember to always turn up the switches!). This way you can have free electricity 24/7, and sometimes it is even in reaching distance of the library WiFi. On the website of the library, some [http://kutuphaneler.antalya.bel.tr/diger-kutuphanelerimiz/ other library branches] are also listed, but I couldn’t find any one of them (maybe the maps are inaccurate?), so I don’t know if they also have Wifi.

There is a big internet room with computers, but it is not always open. Some sockets have an Ethernet port, so there might be LAN access (I didn’t test it yet). This library is quite big, on one of the busiest junctions in Antalya, and plenty of young students are screaming around, so it is quite okay to make noise here (for example to make a Skype call). You might be asked to write your name in a form when entering the library, but they don’t check for ID or anything. Also several internet cafes outside the old town. |busking=Very active busking scene. Even in winter you have at least 2-3 bands playing day (afternoon) and night (evening) in several locations.

To do all the touristy stuff you need about one day. To see nice old buildings go to the upper town (aka the medieval core). The other nice area to check out are all the parks in the center, where people often drink if the weather is nice. Croatian people love to complain about everything, but with a happy face, as well as drink and joke a lot. Croats also tend not to be extremely tardy so don't be angry at your Croatian friend if they are a bit late for your meeting. There is also this Balkan mentality of nothing working out, as in - if you have ambition to do something different, the society will tell you not to even try 'cos there's no way you can do it. But the people also don't take life too seriously, the alcohol is strong and the food is damn good. |transport=The public transit consists of an electric tramway infrastructure, as well as multiple bus lines. Black-riding is possible and most of people in Zagreb who don't have monthly or yearly tickets do this in trams and in buses there is almost no control. Controllers are sometimes all over the town but mostly there is nobody for months. There are in groups of 2-3 wearing blue uniform just like the driver so if you see them just get out and wait another tram. Playing the "dumb tourist" will work because they don't have authority to ask you passport or your id and if you give them your passport they can't send you a bill to your home because you are not citizen of Croatia. Also they will not call police because there are city owned company and controllers have fixed paychecks so they don't give a damn too much. One ticket (Dec 2014) costs 10HRK (1.30E), but it is very easy to black ride in the trams, as you can freely enter the waiting areas, as well as the vehicles without needing to validate a ticket. You only get checked if you're lucky enough to find yourself in the same tram wagon as a controller. Rarely they are in disguise, and mostly they are dressed the same as the drivers (blue-white pinstriped shirts, dark blue pants and dark blue jackets with the company logo ZET). If you're staying for a while and wanna play it safer, you might consider buying one ticket to have on you at all times. The thing is, there are orange ticket machines at every door (all of them can validate plastic card passes) but you can validate a paper ticket only at the first and the last door, so even if you get caught, just make sure you're standing next to one of the machines in the middle and show your unvalidated ticket, playing a dumb tourist, gesturing there is no way to validate it on that silly thing. They will most likely not bother you, and just show you how to validate it on the first or the last door machines. The control is usually scarce, but somewhat more frequent at weekends and nights, as well as on the beginning of the month. With buses it's a tad harder, as they nowadays expect you to enter only at the front door, where the driver sees if you have a ticket or not. You can still try entering on other doors, merge in the crowd or play silly. Sometimes you can also just walk in the front and just be cool and walk to the end of the bus. FROM/TO THE AIRPORT: there is a bus going every 30min, between the main bus station and the airport (most probably not black-rideable). You could just try hitchhiking to the city. |accommodation=* There is a former [[squat]] called [[Medica]]. They have guest rooms and hosted us when we came without knowing anybody. There is a another one called [[Klaonica]]. If you are planning to visit it, look exactly for directions and instructions getting in before you reach location. The way in is described on their homepage, however it is said that you can jump over the fence from Radnička cesta, but it's not possible as fence is covered with thorns and has barbed wire on it. However at the end of Radnička cesta near Heinzelova street seems to be a nice spot for jumping over the fence as there is about two meters of fence without barbed wire but it is not nice spot at all because the ground on the other side is full of thorns. * There are lots of hostels in Zagreb now, and if you intend to stay for a longer period, try asking them if you could volunteer for accommodation. * '''Showers''' (in the summer months): there are two artificial lakes where people go swim, "Jarun" and "Bundek". During the swimming season, there are free showers on the beaches === [[Camping]] === Wild-camping in Croatia is illegal, yet it is not impossible. When it comes to Zagreb, there is a big park called Maksimir (just google map it). You could definitely find a hidden spot somewhere, and it's not far from the center. * For decent camping, take tram #6 from the central train station to Crnomerec, continue walking down Ilica a hundred metres or so, turn Right on Kustosijanca, and walk up this street for two hundred meters past an old train trestle. There is easy access to trails in the woods and decent places to camp without being disturbed. * To be deeper in nature but still quite close to the town, take tram #14 to Mihaljevac, and then #15 to the last stop. Continue further through the tunel, and then you'll find yourself in a huge forest with contless spots for camping. Update: In June 2015, my girlfriend used this advice (trams 14 and 15). It is indeed a large wooded area. We found a somewhat decent spot to spend the night about 800m past the tunnel. I say decent as we were only partially out of sight from passing cars or pedestrians (that are few at night time anyway). * I pitched my tent in Bundek park once. There are free toilets, a lake, and a shower. |bewelcome-link=http://www.bewelcome.org/places/Croatia/HR/Grad%20Zagreb/21/Zagreb/3186886 |food=There isn't much to find in the dumpsters of this city. If you're up for a gigantic bag of a day-old bakery produce (buns, pastries, pizza slices, sandwiches and so on), you can get one for around 2E at the big bakery/factory PANPEK in Planinska 2c. They pick up all the unsold produce from the many small PANPEK bakeries around town, bag it in 50kg flour bags and sell primarily to farmers, but also to Gypsies and squatters. Mind you, the bag is really heavy. * There is a weekly food not bombs, organized at the former [[squat]] which is now a culture center, [[Medika]]. The food is collected on Saturdays at farmers markets and prepared on Sundays, and distributed at the main train station around 2pm. The place also has an anarchist info shop and a free shop. * You can also try your luck at one of the farmers markets at closing hour. More on that on trashwiki [http://trashwiki.org/en/Zagreb] * Another way to score a whole cheap meal would be to hang out with students. Zagreb is full of students who have iksica (electronic card with which they can eat whole lunch witch soup, meat and juice for less than a euro). What you have to add is a quarter of the price in cash, which comes out around 1E for the daily menu (including everything, soup, main meal, side dish, salad and desert).

Just ask somebody on the entrance to lend you their iksica and most of people will do it. Also if you are cold and you want to you can stay in Studentski centar until 21:00 and on the first floor are some couches where you can take a nap. homeless people sometimes sleep there. You can get there from main square (Jelacic platz) taking trams 17, 14 to Studentski centar station or 12 to Technical museum station (Technical museum and Studentski centar stations are practically the same stations) and just across the street is Studentski centar. ** There are restaurants on several faculties (the university of Zagreb is spread out all over the city), as well as at the student dorms, and the student center (Savska cesta 25). ** On a few locations there are even student patisseries where you can get cakes and coffee for less than a euro. * Often there are some free movie screenings, either in big parks or in the old upper town. This is one of them, though only in the summer: ([http://www.screen.com.hr/program.html SCREEN]) * BEST BUREK: burek is the food that everyone in the Balkan claims to be theirs, yet it came with the Turks. Anyhow, this is totally biased by the author of this text, yet a very delicious burek can be found on the Dolac farmers market (next to the main square). In the indoors milk and dairy section there is a small bakery open from around 7am until perhaps 1pm. All the other ones make good burek as well. The farmers market itself is a great place to check out, since it's quite big and in the very center of the city. * 24/7 RESTAURANT and SUPERMARKET: If you need food in the middle of the night in the center, you can go on the main square, go up the stairs north of the clock on the square (to the already mentioned farmers market called Dolac), and you will see a big banner saying 24/7. It indeed is open all the time and strange enough you can get okay food (fast food and some pastries) for a very reasonable price (generally low prices, and definitely cheap for that location and working hours). Everybody ends up there, being hangover, drinking coffee and munching on some pastry. If you want to go to a store; many gas-stations are open during the night, but much more expensive. The biggest supermarket in the center would be at the main train station in the underground passage called "Importane". There is a Konzum store open all the time. * CHEAP COFFEE: if you wanna spend a few hours in a very relaxed place, you can try out this student's club that serves okay coffee for 3HRK (0.39E). It has a nice open wifi and lots of plugs. During the week it operates as a bar from 9am to 4pm. In the evenings and on weekends it's a club offering all sorts of concerts and sometimes workshops.

They are mostly friendly and you can surf as long as you want. You can get to that location by taking tram 2, 4, or 9 from Main train station (glavni kolodvor) and make sure to get out on Vodnikova and walk few metres until you are on Savska ulica. Then go left and after 1-2 minutes you will see Optima Telekom center on your right side. * There are many libraries, but it seems that for now only one has wifi. It's this one: Knjižnica Augusta Cesarca, Šubićeva 40/2 * The National Library of Croatia is approximately one km south of the train station. Open until 20:00 on weekdays, 15:00 on Saturday, it provides power outlets, wifi, and access to public computers. |busking=The police is not very strict and you can sometimes see travelers playing instruments or doing some circus stuff in the center.

On Fri and Sun it's located in Bogovićeva 1. On Tue it's in a games store in Frankopanska ulica called Carta Magica. There is a mountain of board games, the people speak English and are always happy to welcome a new board game lover. The entrance is totally FREE, though it is recommended to leave a small donation (even as small as 3kn or 0.39E as the money goes for the rent and buying new games.

It is full of students, so it's normal that clubs go silent in the summer, but nowadays it's getting much better. Things are happening, and often free festivals are being organized. One of them is in "Štrosmajerovo šetalište" from May until September. It's not big, but every day something is going on, and everyone just brings their own booze and sits on the ground.

More than half of Uruguay's population is concentrated in the capital of [[Montevideo]], meaning a very low population density in the country's interior. In the Uruguayan countryside you will doubtlessly encounter some of the most laid back, friendly folks you could imagine. Humble, generous and curious about anyone passing through, it is the people rather than the geography that make travel memorable in this overlooked corner of the continent. The tranquility of the countryside and the openness of the people will leave an impression on any traveler.

Everyone carries a thermos and a mate gourd pretty much everywhere they go. ''Me convidas con un mate?'' is a good way to start a conversation and make a new friend. ''Chivitos'' is also an excellent choice in Uruguayan food. More a fast food, it is a huge flattened sandwich, that consists of 3 to 4 kinds of vegetables with a huge piece of meat. In the countryside, the chivitos will cost around 100-130$, and in Montevideo or more touristic places, it can range from 170 to 400$ (Dec 2013). Like in [[Argentina]], '''Uruguay''' is also known for their traditional barbecues called ''asado''. Especially in towns like [[Rivera]] or [[Tacuarembó]], barbecues starts from 6 pm and meanwhile everybody drinks, sings and dances until the meat is gone, which will be already 10 pm. Expect to eat huge amounts of meat, especially in towns. One of their favorites is probably the sausage that has cheese inside it. A delicious treat !

To make one, first make an “X” or loose spiral of cardboard just slightly shorter than the height of a metal can. It's best to then drip molten wax all over the cardboard so that it gets partially absorbed and coats some of it. Then slide the cardboard into the can, and fill in the gaps with small pieces of wax. Once there's some wax in it, you can light the cardboard and aggressively “feed” the squat candle wax chunks until it gets a good reservoir in the bottom. When using it, it's good to feed it from time to time, but even unfed a decent squat candle will burn for hours. I've had excellent experiences with these, and have used them to make coffee in the mornings and elaborate stews at night. Be sure to extinguish them by putting something non-flammable and flat over the top – if they're not covered when they go out, they'll let off a lot of nasty smoke.

Be aware that serious flooding in May 2014, shifted some land mines, and also shifted some notices marking unsafe or cleared areas. Walking off the road into the bushes on a spot you are not familiar with is not a good idea. Stick to paths, tire tracks and well grazed fields. In the war houses were often rigged with mines as their owners fled during the war. If something looks "too abandoned", stay away from it. In general, any area which seems visited recently is safe to go, but any area which is all overgrown, and clearly not visited by anyone for a decade is not to be trusted until locals confirm it's safe.

Correspondingly high will be your expenses. The good news is, if you can't afford that, you can just go to your local hardware store and get a simple plastic tarp. A compromise could be a rain poncho from the army surplus store. To accomodate one person it should have a size of 3 x 3 m (10 x 10 feet).

Microscopic bacteria is often found in fresh water stream and rivers, especially near civilization or agricultural areas (farms). Even slight contamination of a water source can leave you violently ill. Fortunately, there are multiple ways to [http://www.wikihow.com/Purify-Water treat suspected water]. * '''Boil the water for at least 10 minutes''', even though 15 to 20 mintutes are recommanded to reduce the risks. This is one of the most surefire ways to purify water and includes roadside puddles, brown sludge from underground, radiator liquid. It tends to require lots of patience for sure and fuel (if you don't have a wood [[cooker]]). * '''Leave it exposed in the sun (with lemon juice) in a transparent bottle'''. According to some recent studies, leaving water exposed to sun should take 6 hours before being drinkable, and reduced to 30 minutes if adding lemon. Read [http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2012-04/jhub-spl041712.php this article]. * '''Water filtering'''. Personal water filters have become commonplace among hikers to ensure that their water is safe to drink. For the average traveler, however, they may be bulky and expensive. A cheap way of filtering water, although much more time consuming than industry-made filters, is '''to do it with wood'''. Follow [http://newsoffice.mit.edu/2014/need-a-water-filter-peel-a-tree-branch-0226 this link] to learn a bit more about it. Using a soft bottle you could as well make a cork out of wood fitting the hole of your bottle. The water will make the cork swell and be blocked in the hole. Now by putting pressure on the bottle, the water will be filtered through the wooden cork, eliminating most of the bacterias. Pine trees seem to be one of the best to filter. * '''Chemical treatment'''. From simple household bleach, iodine, chlorine, or similar chemicals to two-part time-sensitive compounds, chemical purification can offer a small, light-weight and inexpensive option to ensure water purity. Many chemicals can leave water with a slight aftertaste, which can be removed by adding a small amount of lemon, tea leaves, powdered drink mix or similar flavoring. When using chemical compounds, it is important to follow manufacturer guidelines, as many of these chemicals are poisonous if misused. A personal favorite of 'Stove' is "Aqua mira", either in a two part liquid or a small dissolvable pill. Liquid to treat 120 liters costs approx $10. However, this is not recommanded for long-term use. Otherwise you must consume plastic en masse by buying new bottles and be careful that they are well sealed. As well avoid ice put into drinks if you don't know how they are made. If the ice blocks of your Tequila Sunrise are made with bad water, you might end up with more than a hangover. Water can be unsuitable for drinking for another reason: the cities are too big and not well enough equipped, and water is treated with enough chemicals to make it bad for long-term drinking, even though it cannot really make you sick. In this case bottled water is your only option...

It has a lot of students in the central city area and so you can find cheap places and artsy spaces around the city, and there is a lot of awesome street art on buildings and in lane ways. It cannot really be said from Adelaide that it is a alternative city such as [[Melbourne]], but it is more a place where families come to settle down to have a nice peaceful life. Getting lost in Adelaide is quite difficult as it was build to be a functional city, with very squared streets and axes, and is very car-oriented. The city-center has three mains streets which is actually one big street cut by two main axes. The first is Hindley Street that could also be called Drinking Street as it is the main drunkenness area of the city; the second is Rundle Mall, a pedestrian shopping area; and the third is Rundle Street, a mixture of pubs and restaurants. Once further away from these streets, especially at night, there is much less activity in the city center. Four "terraces"-streets, North, West, South and East/Hutt Street and parks are separating the city-center from the suburbs. North Adelaide is a nice suburb as well with some bars and restaurant, although more poshy richy bitchy. A clear sign would be the location of the golf courses ;) |transport====Public transport=== [http://www.adelaidemetro.com.au Adelaide Metro] is in charge of the public transportation in Adelaide, mainly one tramway from the North-West of Adelaide to the sea in [[Glenelg]] (more than 30min in total), suburbans trains and all buses. By bus you can reach almost any place in the city, but it might take time as some buses don't drive often. [http://adelaidemetro.com.au/Tickets/Fares Fares] are pretty strange, as there is peak and interpeak prices, 2-section prices or unlimited transfers and with or without the electronic Metrocard. Peak is before 9:01am and after 3:00pm and all Saturday, and interpeak is between 9:01 and 3:00 and all Sunday. 2-section mean you are only allowed to travel between 2 stops, so you might just better walk. *'''3-days unlimited travel:''' everything included for AU$25 *'''Daytrip until 4:30am:''' everything included for AU$9,70 *'''With Metrocard:''' costs AU$5 to buy + you have $5 on it, so $10 in total.

You need to recharge in special places but easy to find, ask people where. *'''Single ticket:''' costs $5,10 peak and $3,20 interpeak. *'''With 2-section Metrocard:''' $1,84 peak, $1,42 interpeak. *'''Single 2-section ticket:''' $3,10 peak, $2,30 interpeak. Now, blackriding in the tram is easy. Sometimes ticket inspectors just come in the tram and ask out loud if everybody has a ticket. Buses are a bit more difficult as they really check when you come in, but you might want to give it a shot.

But of course this depends on the person in charge at that time! ===Parks=== Adelaide is surrounded by parks, but not all are very nice. Avoid the parks of South and West Terrace and prefer East Terrace. But your best choice will probably be North Terrace after having crossed as it is further away from big roads and you will have more chances of a better spot. Coming from the city center, you might have a slightly better chance to find a place to sleep if turning right after having crossed the river and following the pedestrian path. But if you feel the left option better, go for it. This needs to be confirmed! Police can be a bit touchy in Adelaide so be careful not to be seen. ===University=== University of Adelaide is right on North Terrace with the [http://www.adelaide.edu.au/hub-central/ Hub] as a central point. It is opened 24/24 except on Sat/Sun when it closes at 10pm. At night you need a student card to come in, but just wait that someones swipes his card and follow his steps. Sleeping in the Hub or anywhere on the University field is not really an option as there are security agents patrolling all night. And they will wake you up, even if you are sleeping on the keyboard of your computer. At night it is not such of an option as the security is making student card checks pretty often. It can be just a quick rest if it is cold outside. But during the day it is a nice place to chill and take a nap without being bothered as there are plenty of couches, a Playstation, boiling water from the tap, and so on.

It is as important as [[staying fresh while travelling]]! In the same "clean idea", you can have a look at the [[free shower]] article. It will depend of course, on the different types of fabric you took with you! Anyway, try to have some inner layers (that touch directly your body) that dry fast. If you wash a t-shirt, one pair of socks and one underpant everyday, it should take you less than 15min. Consider using biodegradable/natural soaps, especially if your traveling style brings you to wash in nature. ==Wash== *'''Shower wash''' is a nice technique if you travel with two or three underwears only. Whenever you take a shower, you wash socks and underpants directly (even t-shirt can be done). You can travel with a small brush as well. *'''Sink wash:''' Fill the sink with water and block it, some people travel with a sink stopper, but a piece of cloth can make a pretty good job already. Add some soap, squeeze, move, impregnate your clothes with the soapy water. You can use a brush and/or rub the fabric against itself. Take the water out, and re-fill he sink with clean water to rince once or twice your stuff. A nice touch is to wash and rince first your cleaner stuff like t-shirt instead of dirtying the water at the beginning with socks and underwear. *'''Waterproof bag wash:''' The same as above, but you use these waterproof bags, usually to protect electronics, passports and so one. You put directly water with soap and the stuff you want to wash. Then you close it, and you squeeze the bag, you move it a bit like a washing machine would do. You can leave it staying like this some time, and open it as well and give a mix with your hands. Then rince with your favorite technique! ==Dry== First, squeeze them as much as you can. You can twist the fabric to get more water out, but it damages the clothes. If you or the hostel have a towel, then lay your towel on the ground and lay one piece of cloth on it. Roll the towel with the cloth and then squeeze, press, sit, walk or even jump if you feel like it on the rolled towel. The water will be soaked by the towel and your stuff will dry much faster. Hang it in a ventilated place, open window/door is better, if possible next to air conditioner or fan, or hanging above the radiator. On some radiatiors, it is unadvised to just put it in direct contact, as your clothes can take fire, even if it is more unlikely to happen. Consider having a rope with you to hang all this beautiful mess, and it has some multiple uses! *'''Oh no they are still wet!!''' No problem, if they are just a bit wet and that it is not freezing outside, just wear them and they will be dry in a sec'. *'''The non-ecological way:''' Use an iron/hairdryer of the hostel or host! *'''I don't want to wear wet clothes but I don't want to destroy the environment:''' If you blow on it for long enough with a lot of motivation, you might have some results. A bit more difficult technique would be to hang them at your backpack while walking. The good thing about this technique is that you can show the world how cool your underpanties are. ==The other options== In some countries, laundromats or more often laundy services are so cheap that you might prefer spending the time chilling in the sun more than rubbing the stains out of your cherished pair of jeans. The hostel you are in might have a laundry service, usually cheaper than a laundromat. Another good option is counting on the kindness of your hosts he he. Otherwise just wear dirty clothes or buy some new ones, it is maybe the easiest way.

Some people stopped taking hitchhikers because they were too dirty. You don't always have a choice, but as much as possible, think about the travellers' community, about the driver, and think a little bit about yourself, yes from time to time it is nice to be clean, you should try. Of course, [[free shower|showers]] are the awesome solution, but it is not always possible. Brushing teeths is possible without water, not always very nice feeling to have the mouth with toothpaste taste, but you get used to it. A simple way is to simply change clothes if you didn't use all of them while crossing the Sahara by lama. ==Basic tips== It seems a bit weird to say, but don't wash too much (hair and body). The more you shower, the more your body will smell as a response. When you go from an everyday shower, or even twice a day, let's say to one day out of two, you will smell more at the beginning. But after a while you do not feel the need of showering so much to smell good. You can easily as well wash you hair once a week or every two weeks without them being fat. At first, they will fatten and look bad, but very quickly your body will adapt. This naturally depends on the heat and your daily activity. ===I love nature=== *'''Wash armpits, face, hands, etc.''' When you find a freezing river, a sink in a [[petrol station]], in a bar, or in any toilet really, wash your armpits, face and hands. Feet and personal areas are optional. This already gives quickly an awesome freshness feeling. *'''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alum#Industrial_uses Alum stone]''' can be used as a natural deodorant if you are into it. But your body adapts, so the more you put deodorant, the more quickly your armpits will smell again. *'''Oh my god what a nice breath!''' Yes, of course, I always eat fruits or fruit tarts (lemon, apple,...) when I travel. Everything acid makes you salivate, the natural way of cleaning the mouth. *'''Hang your clothes/sleeping bag'''. At night or when taking breakfast before packing your [[backpack]], hang some stuff to get them some fresh air and reverse your [[sleeping bag]] before doing so. If you sleep in a smelly sleeping bag, it will affect your own smell. Keep in mind that very humid nights can wet your clothes beyond comfort ;) *'''H2O 4 U:''' drink a lot of water, this keeps your body hydrated, you look less tired, your body is less dehydrated. But drinking a lot of water is generally good for anything, except if lost in the desert. Of course, drinking beer is really advised as well. Not to get hydrated, but just because it is good. ===Chemical is nice as well=== *'''Baby-style:''' Baby wipes are a good way to clean all parts of your body, and a spray of deodorant is appreciated by some people *'''Eating acid fruits is soOoOoOo 20th Century:''' You can use gum and mint candies instead. ==To go a bit further in freshness== *'''Hydrating moisterizer:''' especially if travelling a lot by plane, in small confined places with a lot of air-conditionning. Is also true for hot countries. *'''Lip-balm''' is the light version of the moisterizer, but as you might have already guessed, only for lips. *'''Alcohol-based sanitizer''' is an easy way to clean your hands from bacteries, but not always easy to carry. ==For some crazy freshness== *'''Nice folded clothes''' give you a good oustide look, and can give you a personal self-fresh-accomplishment feeling *'''I need fresh eyes to get over this hangover'''. Take some cold can or ice and leave it a moment on your eyes to feel a bit more refreshed and reduce red/black eyes-effect. *'''Water mist''' is a very non-ecological, even if very enjoyable, way of refreshing your face and body parts.

The rules are decided by the great ''Elephant Ball Corporation'' which is the holly reference in the game. It can be played from three to unlimited amount of players, however the distinguished 'Elephant Ball Corporation' recommends not to go over 6-7 players. This game should not be a cause to exclude someone, so anyone is allowed to participate, no matter his level or his social relational skills. You will need for this game '''an elephant ball''', '''a laundry basket''' and '''a chair''' and '''motivated players'''. Any object of your surroundings creates another challenge or another variation of the game. It is a game best played between 1 and 4am in a tiny appartment full of things on the tables, walls and floor. If there is any issue about the score, Arthur is the one that has the last word about it. This counts even if the majority, or even unanimity except Arthur, is against him. However, he is not choosing the rules, the rules are only decided by the honorous 'Elephant Ball Corporation'. If you don't have an Arthur with you, then find someone reasonable, reasonnably honest and that knows more or less how to count until hundred. If you don't have this with you, find someone that can count up to fifty and it should work. '''Note:''' Arthur can be a player as well. Actually he is more than welcome. The aim of the game is to arrive to the exact pre-determined amount of passes from a player to another, with a predetermined amount of 'special-basket-savings' (which will be explained later). The serve always as be to be done holding the trunk (also called proboscis) of the elephant and then throwing it to another player. '''First''' you will have to put the laundry basket on the chair in the middle of the room (or even outside if you are so crazy to try the outside sun), and put all the players around it in an homogeneous circle. '''Then''' the first throws the elephant ball to one player which again throws it to anyone (again to the first one is no probzz, anyone is good). From there, players have to pass the elephant ball until it falls on the floor or in the basket. If it falls into the basket, the amount of passes is saved and a new serve can start with the saved amount. On the floor, or anything really that made the elephant stop: table, bed, couch, etc., the players have to start from all over again, from 0. It is allowed to touch the elephant ball two or more times in a row as long as it is not abusing. Arthur, while playing, has to count outloud the amount of passes. To reach your aim, you need to put the elephant ball in the basket with one or more special tricks, up to you to decide which ones, but cool tricks are all good: putting it with the head, the foot, backwards, touching the ceiling before it goes into the basket, or while jumping onto the bed at the same time. Use your imagination, but the eminent 'Elephant Ball Corporation' has to agree with it. Any cool trick counts as 5 passes more. So if you put it in the basket with a cool trick on 11, you go to 16. One person serves again and it continues to 17, 18, etc. For example if you decide to reach 40 with two tricks, you will do 30 passes and could do two special tricks savings, and 2 normal savings. Be careful, you are not allowed to save a ball with the basket before each player touched the elephant ball one time! If you are a lot, this can be diminished to less people (3 or 4 for example). If the elephant ball causes the basket (that is on the chair) to fall, you get a minus of 10, which means you don't start from 0, but from -10. And you will start from -10 until you save the elephant ball in the basket with a score of more than 0. Then you can start again from 0 if the elephant ball drops on the floor. There is a way to avoid getting -10 if you manage to quickly grab the elephant ball from the basket, without touching the basket, before it drops on the floor. You have to continue passing the elephant and put the basket back the way it was. If the basket falls empty on the floor and the elephant ball falls after a few passes on the floor again, you just restart from 0. Any object that will be touched and falls because of the elephant ball causes a -10, or more, or less depending on the value of the object: the tea pot, a glass, a bottle of beer, and so on. To reach the pre-determined amount, let's say 40, you need to do it exactly, so the elephant ball has to be put in the basket on the 40th pass. If you decided that you needed 2 special moves and you only did one, then you have to put the last pass on the 35th ending with a special trick. The two last important rules are that players have to wear a hat in order to play official Elephant Ball and that some food has to be placed on a nearby table, but nobody is allowed to eat until the pre-determined score is reached. == Elephant Ball Corporation == The 'Elephant Ball Corporation' is the greatest and best institution in charge of the well-going and fun-having games. s5umuyo1yv59p7ujhqjry7evivzy21q 0 454 1163 2015-08-01T13:32:10Z Guaka 1 Redirected page to [[Elephan Ball]] 1163 wikitext text/x-wiki #redirect [[Elephan Ball]] 1vzs5xb892h3jd4423e4evxb3twbtnz 1164 1163 2015-08-01T13:32:14Z Guaka 1 1164 wikitext text/x-wiki #redirect [[Elephant Ball]] ij7h57bl1upgj7ri2olxaqrucslpgco 0 455 1165 2018-03-07T14:43:48Z imported>Isa kayo 0 adding interfamily links 1165 wikitext text/x-wiki {{City |country=Australia |introduction=Melbourne is the capital of the state [[Victoria]] and the most populous with 4,4 million inhabitants, and is the second of [[Australia]] just after [[Sydney]] and double as much as the third [[Brisbane]].

In most stations (except central/major stations that have barriers with somebody guarding; find a blind spot to hop over the barrier or wait until the guard is distracted and walk through the wheelchair gates) you can just walk onto the platform and the train - perfect for just going between suburbs.

If you're not Ozzie, however, there's not really any way they can make you pay a fine - except if you live in Australia and give them your real address, but who would do that?! Don't show them proper ID, show them something with your name on it (like a credit card) and then give them a fake address. They might make you ring somebody to confirm that address (they tend to find entries such as "mum" in your phone; they can really be aggressive), but if you set up somebody who knows which fake address to give you'll be golden.

The city really has a 'capital vibe' and often you will be told by locals that people of Sydney are arrogant! And they may have a reason to be, because Sydney's natural beauty ranks it as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. From the bush surrounding it's incredible natural harbour, to the many clean surf beaches, to it's favourable climate (think Valencia in Spain as an example), to World Heritage National Parks in the Blue Mountains, it really is a place for those who like getting outside. Sydney and Melbourne provide an interesting and often quoted comparison. Melbourne has an incredible arts and cultural scene that does surpass Sydney's, however it takes a long time to get out of the city and into somewhere beautiful. Sydney's cultural scene has improved a lot over the last 10 years, and from the CBD it's a 30 minute trip to the surf beaches of the Eastern Suburbs (Bondi, Tamarama, Bronte, Clovelly, Gordons Bay, Coogee, Maroubra, La Perouse), each with it's own personality. Or there's the beaches of the harbour like Redleaf, Nielson Park and Milk Bay. There's often a temptation to think of Sydney as the CBD, the Northern Suburbs and the Eastern Suburbs, but Sydney extends out West some 60 kilometres, with many culturally diverse communities. Suburbs like Lakemba, Cabramatta, Auburn, Parramatta, Strathfield, Haberfield, are home to large communities of Lebanese, Vietnamese, Sudanese, Afghani, Iranian, Italian, Croatian and many more. It is all well accessed by train and is an important part of seeing what Australia is. The food is also exceptional and cheaper here. The CIty of Sydney's motto is the 'City of Villages'. This is very true, as close to the CBD there are very distinct areas or villages. They each have their own character, and unfortunately aren't well connected by public transport. Buses are often the only way to get around, and they can take a long time. The Inner West (particuarly Newtown and Marrickville but also Glebe) has been one of the main alternative culture centres of the city, with a lot of interesting people, live music and arts. There is an underground warehouse scene in Marrickville that has hosted some epic parties. The Inner East (Darlinghurst, Kings Cross, Paddington, Surry Hills) are also close to the city and are areas with a lot of money. Kings Cross is well known as a party destination, and the red-light district of Sydney, but has been in decline since new laws restricted opening hours. If you want to get wasted go to 'The Cross', but there are many better pubs and clubs around Darlinghurst, Newtown, and increasingly the CBD. The Eastern Suburbs are a big collection of beach areas. There is a lot of money here, but as you go further south, (Coogee, Maroubra, La Perouse) there are a lot less dogs in handbags, beautiful people and fakery. |transport===Hitchhiking== Look at the [http://hitchwiki.org/en/sydney Hitchwiki article] for more infos! ==Public transport== |accommodation===Free accommodation== *'''Coogee Beach:''' facing the beach, there is a small park on the left, that is a large walking path following the sea.

From a short trip to a continent spanning journey, a bicycle is a great human powered tool! There are several options depending on the maximum weight you want to carry, how fit you are, the amount of kilometers per day you want to achieve, and so on. If you decide to travel pretty lightweight (between 5 and 17 to 20kg), it is awesome to have baggage racks in the front and/or in the back to keep your back free. Two advantages here, first it is less tiring and secondly you sweat less so you can more easily go to disco disco party party after a good day of cycling! Try to put as much weight as you can as close to the ground because it gives more adhesion and you have less chances to slip in XXXtrem curves. Some people chose to have a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_trailer trailer] to carry more stuff. The friction created by the added wheels makes it much harder, especially going up. A combination with an electric bike (and a solar pannel?) can be a good choice. Always have a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_lock#U-locks_and_D-locks good lock] for your bike (U-locks are the best), especially if it is a good bicycle. The best would be to put inside a house anytime you can. As well, think of a system to take all your stuff easily with you, otherwise you will have to leave them on your bike if you are too lazy to spend 15min freeing your baggages every time you stop. Of course it depends on a lot of things, but an average speed on flat is between 15km and 20km/h. To plan on something between 60 to 80km a day is already a good distance if you want to enjoy the landscapes, take some breaks under the trees and have a beer in each village you cross. More means waking up earlier and be more in a 'sporty' trip, and less means really enjoying beer under the trees (or just enjoying slow travel)! Keep in mind that 'national roads' (like the ones we have in [[Europe]]) are enjoyable compared to highways if you have a car, but are often horrible by bike... It is really stressful to have big trucks overtaking all the time, the noise of the cars, you cannot talk with your buddy. Plan your trip so that you avoid them as much as you can. It can be really worth making a 10km detour but enjoying the view and the peacefulness of a less frequented secondary road. Before you leave for a long trip, it is good to know your bike, to know its limits, to know which tool sizes you need to fix it, and so on. Start to make some small trip, repair it yourself, have fun before the real adventure and troubles begins! Anyway, do not forget to leave with a reparation set and to have good breaks, the rest is only decoration ;). On the way you can find plenty of people ready to help you! ==Reparation kit== *'''Patches and special vulcanisation glue''' are the basic to repair a flat tyre. You can add some other things to make it easier. *'''Some basic tools and wrenches''' that fit your bike. *'''A bit of metal wire''' for the emergency fixings if a piece breaks. *Why not '''a spare brake cable'''? [[What to pack|What other things should I pack?]] ==History== In 1886, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Stevens_%28cyclist%29 Thomas Stevens] became the first man to cycle round the world. His two-year jaunt on a penny-farthing saw him tackle roads more suited for ox-drawn carts than bicycles. ==Types of bike== [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racing_bicycle Racing bike], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_bike mountain bike], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_bicycle electric bike], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recumbent_bicycle recumbent bicycle], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tandem_bicycle tandems], old pieces of metal gathered from random basements, all give advantages and impose restrictions. You have to first define what type of travel you like! It is nice to make some small trips trying all sort of different combinations to know what is best for you. Once you know what you like, how many kilograms you can carry, your budget, the amount of kilometers per day, sleeping in a [[tent]] or hostels, etc. then you can see what fits you best. With a '''race bike''' you will be very fast (>15-20km/h) and can cover a lot of distance each day but you cannot carry a lot of weight because the wheels are too weak. You will need a trailer to have more stuff and cycling outside roads in good/average state is often annoying (flat tyres, wheel breaks, and so on). A '''mountain bike''' will allow you to do some crazy stuff on the dirt roads, but is much more tiring in the long run. '''Electric bikes''' are really cool as long as you find electricity to keep them charged :). '''Recumbent bikes''' are awesome energy-wise, as the go really fast using less energy, but they are more dangerous and not really done to cycle uphill. '''Tandems''' are a lot of fun, but require a bit of practice. If you take a tandem, make sure you take the second seat so that you don't have to pedal when the first one is not looking. ==Find your route== * [http://globalbiker.org/ globalbiker.org] have biking routes, only in France for now (feb 2015). * [http://www.opencyclemap.org/ opencyclemap.org] is good map for finding your route. ==Find a bike when travelling== When you are travelling without a bike, sometimes you miss so much to ride on a bike, to feel the air flowing through your hair, to smell the breeze! Here are some ideas on how to find a cheap or free bike when travelling : * Check those websites: [http://www.bike-sharing.org/ BikeSharing] [http://www.bikesurf.org/ bikesurf.org] [http://www.borrowmybike.org/ borrowmybike.org] [https://www.spinlister.com/ spinlister]. * Find local discussion/forum page on [[Hospitality_exchange|hospitality network]] for example, and ask if somebody can borrow a bike. * Find a local bike workshop, often you can buy, or build yourself a bike cheaply. * Make a sign on the street saying "I am looking for a free/cheap bike" while [[busking]] (or not). * Go in some small villages and ask the grand pa's or grand ma's if they have old bike rusting in the basement. Sometimes you'll find really awesome bikes!

It is a member state of the [[European Union]] as well as the [[Schengen Agreement]]. It is very densely populated, and there is very little distance between centres. Everyone knows English, and many can communicate in Italian and Arabic. Weather is bad during December—February, when it's cold (houses are poorly isolated) and rainy. |transport=Malta has comprehensive public transportation network and costs 1,5e day/6,5e week. Public transportation is never on time. Roads are narrow, poorly planned and there are a lot of cars, so even short distances take often long time. Hitch-hiking is quite poor (and pointless). |bewelcome-link=http://www.bewelcome.org/places/Malta/MT |connectivity=To use public wifi in most of the places you will need to provide a local cell phone number (McDonalds, Burger king and a lot of other cafes are like that). |busking=One can find buskers only in Valletta. Good spots for busking are straight after the entrance to Valletta (across the bridge) and on the Republic street close to the fountain. To fix your broken instrument or buy a new one you might want to go to Music link, Fleur De Lys. }} == Second hand shops == There are 3 quite cheap and good charity shops in Hamrun, on San Guzepp street. To find second-hand electronics and other goods there is a website maltapark.com == Equipment == If you want to buy camping equipment, you might want to go to Mosta to the Army Surplus shop. ==Where to spend time== To meet locals, you generally have a few spots: * Maori bar on Triq-il-Lanca (you go down the straight street and turn to Sant Bastjan when it ends, and then you will see a tunel, which you take to find yourself on the seacoast. Then you will see a couple of tiny buildings on the right, one of them is Maori) * ĠUGAR - Hangout & Bar * Wild Honey cafe * Vilhena Band Club on Triq Sarria * You also have to check if there are events in the St James Cavalier Centre for Creativity -- they have great music with (often) free entrance * Also, there is always some activity on the FB community 'Film/Tv work Malta', you can help students with making their movies -- and it's a great way to meet locals ==Places to explore== * Sa Maison Garden, Sa Malson -- just a nice tiny garden with a great view * Generally there is a lot of abandoned forts left from the Brits. It's amazing to be there! You can break into Fort Ricasoli easily -- there is a path leading to the tunnels and weapons preserved from the older times. Fort Campbell is a bit further, but also a great place to be. == Corruption == * [https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/76s5vr/daphne_caruana_galizia_panama_papers_journalist/ Daphne Caruana Galizia, Panama Papers journalist and "one-woman WikiLeaks," killed by car bomb] [[trash:Malta]] [[couch:Malta]] q9uqh067hsu8l9gj919t7mw3ybjbfbv 0 484 1206 2015-08-01T13:24:39Z Guaka 1 1206 wikitext text/x-wiki A '''Wagenplatz''' is a space for campers.

They also refer to themselves as 'travellers' or 'vehicle-dweller's', or 'new traveller's.' ===History=== Unrelated to the Roma or Irish Travellers, the 'new traveller' movement originated from people seeking an alternative way of life in the early 1970's. It intensified, in the mid-eighties when a group of post-punk anti-Thatcher protesters headed out of London into the English countryside. New travellers' are a diverse group of people originating mainly from the settled British population, although some new travellers are now 2nd or 3rd generation. ===Values=== These 'new gypsies' desire sustainability, love self-reliance, and disdain for the trappings of contemporary life. Therefore, nomads, may find new age travellers natural bedfellows, and have much in common. ==Nomadic Life== Their transport and homes consist of vans, lorries, buses, cars, and caravans converted into mobile homes. They stay on unauthorised sites throughout the countryside, particularly in Wales and the south-west of England, and in urban areas. London hosts a large number of traveller sites in places such as disused factory or warehouse yards, and there is often a crossover between travellers and squatters, with travellers parking up in yards attached to squatted buildings.

Look on the dirt surface to see their tire tracks, this will indicate where they turn and park. * Road laybys:: It is often possible to find road laybys in which to park. Often around lakes or mountain areas. Parking next to a busy road isn't a good idea. Crime can be high in roadside areas. * Supermarket car parks: Some supermarkets allow vehicle to park overnight. Ask permission before stopping for the night, as you dont wan to be locked in or clamped. * City parks: Many city parks have large roads or avenues around them. It is often possible to find somewhere to park for the night. * Urban areas: If you have a small vehicle, you can often park in urban areas. Always be aware of your profile though, crime is an issue. ==Free camping Tips and Hints== * Try and buy supplies, fuel and food in local establishments. * It is important to not upset the local people, police and authorities.

Generally, when travellers say they are from or going toward "New York", they are referring to this city, which is made up of five boroughs: Manhattan (an island), Brooklyn, Queens (both located on the western end of Long Island), Staten Island, and The Bronx (on the North American mainland). One does not simply walk out of New York City. |transport=== Riding trains for free == New York City is a major hub for trains: freight trains, Amtrak, Metro-North, MTA, LIRR, NJ Transit, and PATH trains all pass in and out of this city. === Subway === The subway is of course by far the most common (and for many purposes best) way of getting around within the city. Many commuters have unlimited-ride Metrocards, and since a card is only required to enter the subway system (not to exit), it's possible to get people with unlimited-ride cards who are leaving the system to swipe you in for free (as there is no additional cost to them). At busier stations, just stand outside the turnstiles and politely ask exiting riders if they'll swipe you in. See [http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2011/01/free_swipe.php this article] for a discussion of the "free swipes" phenomenon. === Commuter Rail === Although riding passenger trains for free is illegal, it may be a viable way to get out of the city for free. In most passenger trains (NJ Transit, Amtrak, etc.), the only way to ride for free is to hide in a bathroom or display a "Seat Check" ticket found on the ground or from a previous ride. Generally speaking, if you are discovered to be riding without paying the proper fare, you will be asked to pay it (the "buy onboard" fare is usually around twice the normal fare, not a huge fine like in some other parts of the world). If you cannot pay it, then you will be asked to exit the train at the next station. As long as you remain friendly and cooperative, there should not be a problem with legal issues, arrest, or fines. The Staten Island Railway is legally free as long as you don't use the St George or Tompkinsville stations (so from the ferry you can walk a mile south to Stapleton station and get on/off there). The Staten Island Ferry is also free. === Freight Rail === [[Train hopping|Hopping freight trains]] is another way to ride long distances for free. It may be practical to do if you have phone or internet access, because there are numbers and/or websites that will give you the direction that each freight is headed and its estimated time of arrival, based on that freight's identification number. == JFK airport == You don't ''have'' to take the $5 AirTrain to get there or to get from JFK to the city. Take a [http://www.jfk-airport.net/bus.html local bus] from Terminal 5 (probably the Q10 to Lefferts Blvd, where you can transfer to the A subway train) for $2.75. If you have a Metrocard (more likely on your way from the city to the airport, though you can sometimes buy one in the airport terminal) then the transfer to/from the subway is free. |bewelcome-link=http://www.bewelcome.org/places/USA/US/New%20York%20State/NY/New%20York/5128581 |connectivity=Offering ultra-fast, gigabit Wi-Fi with a 400-ft range, the [https://www.link.nyc/ Links] promise connectivity across broad swathes of the city.

Most people outside of touristy areas don't speak English. In the north hitchhiking is much harder than in the South. |accommodation=The police seems to make it's own rules about camping in Laos. In many areas it is usually no problem and in some cities it is possible to find empty houses/buildings. Some authorities even suggest places to camp. It is illegal (?) to sleep outside in Laos as the government wants tourists to spend their money on guest houses. Don't overly worry, however -- [[:hitch:User:Zenit|Zenit]] was woken up by police once when camping in plain view on the road and only had his passport details taken. On many more occasions nobody bothered him. The police in Muang Ngoy doesn't accept people to camp and wants them to pay a high fee and acts corruptly. As in Thailand, also in Laos it is possible to sleep in Wats (temples), but due to government tourism policies it's all much less certain than in Thailand. As in hitchhiking, the further north you get the smaller your chances get to find a place to sleep in a temple. People are more distant to foreigners than in many other countries and it is not common to get invited into people's houses. There are few Couchsurfers in Laos, not a major source of free acommodation in Laos either. Staying in hotel's lobbies is possible in minor cities (rain, too cold, too hot...). A good way of staying for free is to help hostels/hotels/guesthouses with their online appereance and stay for free in exchange.

Tel Aviv is a big city, surrounded by a big metropolitan area. In the city itself there are beaches where many people go to relax and play beach rackets. You can see in the city many people running and working out, the body culture seems to have a big importance there. It's also the city of the alternative scene, with quite some bars and clubs. It's a western city that seems far from the Israeli situation in the [[Middle East]]. Noteworthy that the north of the city is more gentrified than the south. |transport=Tel Aviv is kind of a big city, so sometimes you will need to use transport to get from one point to an other. Buses are everywhere, you need to figure out which one goes where, a ticket is around 7 shekels. There is also a system of bike renting station. If you have a credit card you can rent a [[bike]] from these stations. It will cost you 17 shekels, and you can use the bike for 24h. But you have to put back the bike in the station before 30 minutes of consecutive use, otherwise you will pay extra. If you need to bike longer, just find a station, put back the bike and take it again, it works. When you put back the bike don't forget to press the button, or it will cost you money. If you are a group of two and you don't mind ridding two on one bike, you can save a lot of money this way. |accommodation=There are some hotels, the cheaper is around 70 shekels. [[Hospitality exchange]] should work. You can also sleep on the beach or in some or the parks (Hakovshim for example), and as long you don't stay to late you will not have trouble. Also, Overstay Hostel TLV is an extremely cheap hostel, their price making is like that: to find the lowest overstay price and substract some 5 shekels. |bewelcome-link=http://www.bewelcome.org/places/Israel/IL/Tel%20Aviv/05/Tel%20Aviv/293397 |food=Food can be quite expensive, but [[dumpster diving]] is so easy that you can eat for free everyday in Tel Aviv. There are many [[dumpster diving]] opportunity, many supermarkets leave food in trash bins on the street in front of them, go there at night and you can find food. But the best is the Carmel market. Everyday, around 6pm, the sellers throw a lot of stuff in front of their stand, just go there before everything is clean, and you will find more food than need. It's especially true before Shabbath, on Friday evening, then it's crazy and you can become a picky tramp and choose just the thing you really like. In some place you can also find falafel for 6 shekels, and houmous for 12 shekels. [[free food]] There is a free soup kitchen for poor people and travelers on Tchlenov str. 18, which works on weekdays from 9.00 till 14.00. One can have a full dinner for free or for a symbolic donation. The soup kitchen also welcomes volunteers. |connectivity=There is a free Wifi from the city in many places, called FREE_TLV. }} If you need [[clothes]], look around you when you walk in Tel Aviv, many Israelis just put on the street the clothes they don't need. You can also go to the [[flea market]] in Jaffa where you can find everything you need for quite cheap, it's near Yefet Street If you need to work on your computer, you can go to 9 Maze Street, there is place made by the city where you have internet, cheap coffee, and you can work for free. It's open from Sunday to Thursday, from 9:00 to 22:00. Also, if tired, you can hang out on a sofa in the theatre hall in the Habima square, there is a good wifi there. If you walk around Tel Aviv, there are some nice neighbourhood to see. The Carmel Market area is nice, Jaffo the Arab town is very beautiful, and walking around the flea market area is also very nice. If you want to go out or to find event, check the [http://www.diytelavivguide.com/blog/ DIY Tel Aviv Blog] where many events are listed every week. You can also check the [https://www.facebook.com/TelAvivAlternative Tel Aviv Alternative Facebook group]. And [https://world.timeout.com/ world.timeout.com] list also many events in Tel Aviv.

People often come to St. Louis with low expectations, and don't give St. Louis the number of days it takes to really explore what it has to offer. If you've been traveling around in the coastal cities like NYC, LA, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, etc.., you'll be pleasantly surprised at how much more affordable St. Louis is, than the other cities. Many of our attractions are free or almost free, and some of these places even have free parking. Traffic is also significantly less, but does exist, mostly during rush hour, from around 3:30-5. |transport=St. Louis, like most U.S. cities, has somewhat weak public transit. The metro link, however, does take you to a decent number of places if you use the bus system. The train system is much more limited. Most people who visit have a car though, as it's usually a road trip. |accommodation=Much cheaper than other large cities. It's pretty easy to find a Couchsurfing host, as there are much fewer people visiting in comparison to the coastal cities. |bewelcome-link=http://www.bewelcome.org/places/USA/US/Missouri/MO/St.%20Louis/4407066 |food=Dumpster diving is really hit or miss. For purchasing cheap groceries, go to Aldi's or Save A Lot. Aldi's actually has great deals on fresh produce, among many other things. (You need a quarter in order to get a shopping cart though). While in STL, you must try toasted ravioli, STL style pizza (both at Italian places and pizza joints), Ted Drewes frozen custard in downtown, and crab rangoon (Chinese restaurants). If you're a big fan of bbq, then try our bbq as well. |connectivity=WiFi is easily found at many places. Almost every single person has internet, and St. Louis has a pretty good 4g Network as well. If you're having trouble, stop at a McDonalds or Starbucks. |busking=Busking is pretty common before, but especially after, sporting events. You will often hear people playing a saxophone on the streets near Busch Stadium, the Edward Jones Dome, or Scottrade Center, after a game is over. }} Here are some of my (and my friend's) favorite places in St. Louis, most of which are completely FREE or almost free: -SLAM (St. Louis Art Museum): A free art museum, with extensive collections of ancient Asian, European, American, and other artwork. From several thousand BC, to modern day. Located in Forest Park, which has free parking. If you come on the weekend, you may have trouble parking as Forest Park is a very popular place for families to visit on the weekends. You can spend all day in there, especially if you like to read about some of the artwork. -St. Louis Zoo: Also Free and located in Forest Park. Is usually ranked as the third best zoo in the country, behind Henry Doory (Omaha, Nebraska) and San Diego Zoos. More recently, there has been a great addition of an open air penguin and puffin exhibit. It's easy to spend several hours walking around and enjoying the animals. I recommend going at a time when kids are in school, if possible. -Missouri History Museum: Free and in Forest Park. They have two great exhibits on the Louisiana Purchase, and my favorite exhibit, the 1904 World's Fair. As travelers, I highly recommend the World's Fair Exhibit. Free parking. -Muny in Forest Park: I've never been, because I'm not a fan of musicals, but if you like them, then you will enjoy the Muny. Typically, there are 1,500 free seats for every performance, on a first come, first serve basis. You might have to show up a couple of hours early to claim one of these, so bring something to do while you wait in line. -The Arch: For $10, you can ride a tram to the top of the iconic Arch, and there's also a museum with plenty of information. There is currently construction going on (as of June 2015), so you have to buy tickets at the Old Courthouse and reserve a time slot. I recommend buying the ticket a couple of days in advance if possible, online. -Anheuser Busch brewery tour: Free, and comes with a free beer at the end of the tour. I'm not a beer drinker, but my beer drinking friends really like the tour. -City Museum: hard to describe place. Sort of like a playground for both kids and adults. If you're really tall or overweight, this might not be for you. It's also not free. -Missouri Botanical Gardens: Some of the best in the country. Only $8, Comes with a free guided tour at either 11AM (year-round) or 1PM (April-October only). Max of 15 guests, so you might not get a tour if you don't show up early enough. You can also pay for a tram tour around the gardens, which is $4. -Cathedral Basilica: Although I've never been there as far as I can remember, it's supposed to rival any European Cathedral. The mosaics are supposed to be amazing. -Busch Stadium: Only if you are a baseball fan or have extra money to spend, as games can be quite expensive. For the best experience, go to a game against the Chicago Cubs, our long-time friendly rivals. -Scottrade Center for a Blues Game: I personally enjoy going to hockey games much more than any other sport. You can typically find decent deals on seats on Stubhub, or try scalping them outside the game. You can often times find free parking on or near Taylor Avenue if you show up a bit early. -St. Louis Symphony Orchestra: A bit more expensive, but very impressive for classical music lovers. Also, -City Garden -Steinberg Ice Skating rink in winter -Laumeier Sculpture Park -Babler State Park -Old Courthouse -Funny Bone Comedy Club EVENTS/FESTIVALS: St. Louis has the second largest Mardi Gras celebration in the U.S., a good one for St. Patrick's day, and the second largest Earth Day Festival in the U.S. The two main places for drinking are The Landing in downtown and Main Street in St. Charles. More people are starting to go to the Central West End now as well.

The longest one, Maclohose Trail, is a 10-part, 100 km hiking route that runs from the east (Sai Kung) to the west (Tuen Mun). Challenging, with great view of the countryside and the city. There are numerous other routes of various difficulties and lengths. Almost all are clearly signed and accessible by public transport (usually buses or minibuses, metro works mostly for urban areas). |transport=It is not possible to blackride on buses or minibuses as you are expected to pay the fare on boarding. On metro it may be possible to jump the gates or tag along with the person in front of you, but look out for bureaucratic staff. Hitchhiking may be possible in some remote areas, although some drivers may expect you to pay. Better ask before accepting a ride. |accommodation=[[Camping]] is permitted at designated spots, most of them located in country parks and outer islands. Usually equipped with stone stove to make fire in, some are equipped with toilets and even showers. Showers are available in sports halls throughout the city for free (Each district has at least one), you don't have to be using the facilities to enter the shower rooms. [[Stanley Beach]] in the south of Hong Kong Island does have showers and it's unlikely to be disturbed by police since the area is somewhat fancy. And if you didnt set up a tent you can still pretend to enjoy the romantic of the beach and the sea. [[Kowloon Park]] in Tsim Sha Tsui is closed after midnight, but the main gate is not too much of a problem, you can crawl under it, or jump over it at its sides. Or you can wait somewhere until you are locked in. There are some paths around [[Langkwaifok]], on concrete walls (for example, go up Wing Wah Lane, turn left, take the stairs and you end up on one of those paths). They lead to hidden, let's call them courtyards, but with a bit luck you can find your own hidden welcoming part of concrete. You could also try to get on rooftops, for example in Kennedytown. Tsam Shui Po should also have some buildings with accessible rooftops. |bewelcome-link=http://www.bewelcome.org/places/Hong%20Kong/HK |food=For cheap fruits and vegetables, go to a wet market near closing time (usually around 6-7pm) to look for bargains.

In the centre there is a Trappa Cafe and Bar (go up the stairs on the left of the museum) opened till 3.30 at night. You can sit outside and reach their network easily. Password in July 2015 was 'hennessy', and the staff was friendly, happy to provide the key and even gave a free tea to a traveler with limited money.

Is it very safe to travel, even getting nearer to [[Syria]] although you should be careful with the day to day situation. Because people are afraid of the war in Syria, Jordan is very empty of tourists and even sites like [[Petra]] with thousands every day are now much more relaxed. The country has some crazy beautiful landscapes and nice people (and very Muslim). Mountains, valleys, deserts (a looot), the [[Dead Sea]]. Enough to get your eyes blown up. As a woman alone, take some precautions. It may be not dangerous but very uncomfortable. It you travel with a man, it avoids you some heavy flirting if you say that your are together. |transport=[[Hitchhiking]] is very easy, although not everybody understands the concept. Make sure to always ask "no money" before entering the car as many improvise themselves taxi. Read [http://hitchwiki.org/en/Jordan Hitchwiki] about it. It should be possible to get a [[donkey]] for not more than 50JD or even for free. Ask around you if someone wants to give one away. Camel is not really affordable (several thousands). ===Ferry to Egypt=== There is a [[ferry]] from [[Aqaba]] to [[Nueiba]] in [[Egypt]] which costs 50JD. It runs 6 days out of 7, and you must buy the ticket in advance at the office in Aqaba. |accommodation=In cities like [[Amman]] or [[Irbid]] it is hard to find for less than 10JD a night. People are usually willing to give a discount, and you can ask to sleep with more people in one room. It is worth trying in this country. Ask for rooftops, say that you have no money and the price will go down. In hotels more remote and by telling you have no money, you might find places for 1, 2 or 3JD the night just squatting the roof or outside. People are very hospitable and you can easily find someone to accommodate you just talking around. One good trick can be to show up at the end of the prayer in front of a mosque with your backpack. ===Bedouin style=== Jordan is the country of bedouins, so you will have no trouble with wild camping. Some random guy might come and ask for money, but tell him nicely that you will not give him anything. Mostly they just try to get some money from a tourist. Asking in advance if it is free is always better, so you can argue that you asked beforehand. ===Hospitality exchange=== It exists, but it is not common and don't expect it to work all the time. |bewelcome-link=http://www.bewelcome.org/places/Jordan/JO |food=Food is inexpensive and expensive, products vary a lot. A good deal is the falafel sandwich which is usually found for 1JD/3sandwiches. Bread is really cheap, like 0,25JD for 10 pita bread.

Try as much as you can to drink from the water fountains (look like a metal cube with taps), the water is fresh and tastes better as the regular tap.

The best might be the hotels, which don't care if you use their internet. Don't forget to ask if you can use for free.

Go to [[Dead Sea]] page for a bit more. *'''[[Petra]]''' hard not to hear from it if you are in Jordan. *'''Wadi Rum''', another classic of Jordan. Go (hitchhike?) to the last village. You can sleep there (hotel or ask where to pitch a tent) or a walk a bit further to Lawrence Spring to be more alone, even if regularly people pass during the day and sometimes around nightfall. It is the last place with water. You can walk around the desert, but it is very big and locals will often insist to rent you a 4WD and nights in their camps. Walking and staying overnight away from Lawrence Spring means carrying a lot of water. You can stay for free under the tree next to the spring. There you have water and shadow, and the village is not far for food.

This country is part of the Arab world, and the population is mostly Muslim. The currency is the Egyptian pound (EGP). As for August 2015 1 EGP = 0.11 EUR = 0.12 USD {{Country |in=Africa |transport====Hitchhiking=== It is possible to hitchhike and even quite easy. The problem is that the concept of [[hitchhiking]] is almost unknown, and you will sometimes loose a lot of time and energy trying to explain it. Also it happen that the police doesn't let you hitchhike, and even prefer to pay you the bus if you say you don't have money. When hitchhiking remember to tell to the drivers that you don't have money ("la flouz") because any car is a potential taxi. ===Train=== There is a train running from north to south following the Nile. It is quite cheap (someone can add price info?). ===Transport inside cities=== It cost usually 0.75 to 1EGP for any transport inside city, except in [[Cairo]] where it can go up to 2EGP. This is true as well for motor boats (the governmental ones) or 'felucca' (Egyptian sailing boats). In tourist places like [[Luxor]] or [[Aswan]] they will try to fool you. The best is to have your money prepared if you can and just give it to them. |accommodation=The hotels in Egypt can be very cheap. If you are lucky and negotiate well you can sometimes find rooms for as low as 10-25 pounds per person (1€-3€). Wild Camping can be difficult, Egyptians are everywhere and they will sometimes not let you wild camp because they think it's not safe if you look like a Westerner you. If you are lucky you can get invited to stay at the people place. Hospitality networks work really well in [[Cairo]] and probably in other big cities in the North, but can be difficult in other parts of Egypt. |bewelcome-link=http://www.bewelcome.org/places/Egypt/EG |food=Food is quite cheap. The problem is that like with everything you will buy, Egyptians will try to make you pay more than the locals. 10 pita breads should cost from 2 to 5 pounds. You can also find falafel sandwich for as low as 1 pound sometimes, but more usually 2 pounds. Street food is anyway a good choice. |connectivity=Hotels are a good bet. Ask before if you need to pay. Be careful with cafés written "Free Wifi", it is sometimes not true, and it happens a lot that it doesn't work. Check the connectivity before ordering anything. |visa=To enter Egypt you have to get a visa on arrival, and it cost 25USD. It will be valid for one month, but you can probably extend it easily. === From/To Jordan === To get to Jordan, or to come to Egypt from Jordan there is a ferry going between [[Nuweiba]] in the [[Sinai]] and [[Aqaba]] in [[Jordan]] that costs 40JD (around 50 euros).

They were both in the big park that surrounds city center like a circle and on the main beach. One night I couldn't sleep normally just because of them. Good and rather peaceful option for sleeping and camping is Pinedo beach. Just one issue that it's pretty far from the center (~8km). But there are busses from city center (convenient stop near placa de l'Ajuntament) that goes to Pinedo. Ticket is 1,5 eur. (11.2017), but it's easy to blackride at least in the last stops (pl. Ajuntamento and ronda de Pinedo), because then driver opens all the doors and don't really cares about anything, so just get in and relax.

There is a main beach where you can sleep without a tent (I tried one time with a tent just on the beach, but cops woke me up in the morning and told me that it's illegal in all Spain to camp on the beach. If you want to camp it's a better option to walk few km south along the beach where nature stars.

I don't think that they go on the beach and check every dune, but they do pass on the road with a car (the paved road on which normally only pedestrians and bicycles go). Also on the main beach (close to the town) there is a small wooden house which is a library I think or a museum. It is closed (11.2017) and it has a big outside terrace with wooden floor and a roof all over it. Perfect for sleeping. At night there are almost no people, I stayed there for about one week and had no problems with thieves or something similar. Police do pass as I mentioned, but they either don't see you there lying in the shadow (it's very close to the road) or they don't care, just try not to show up too much if you notice them. It worked just fine for me. Also there are many bushes to hide your stuff in. There are also cold water outside showers both in the main beach and further and drinkable water taps as well.

I never encounterd a control in the bus and i used it daily, so if you are brave... :) More info from: https://bratislava-slovakia.eu Operating hours Public Transport in Bratislava operates the bus, tram and trolleybus lines starting approximately at 4:20 am till 11 pm. After this time you can find bus lines with prefix "N", which means "night bus". All means of transport are marked by number and by the starting and final stop name (in a case of night buses the mark is: N91, N39, ...). The service of night buses is reduced and they usually go once an hour. We recommend to arrive at the bus stop 5-10 minutes before its departure, it might arrive earlier. Buying tickets Remember to purchase an appropriate ticket before using the services and mark in inside the tram or (trolley)bus. You cannot buy the travel ticket from the bus driver; however it is possible to do so at the yellow coin-operated machines situated at most of the stops, newspaper stands, and tourist's information offices. Student and children tickets have 50% discount (you need a valid ISIC card). At some stops, these machines are missing so it might be a good idea to have some spare ticket in your purse. One ticket can be used for any kind of Bratislava public transport but there are tickets with a different validity: 15 minutes (0.70€) - no transfers are allowed; once you get on one bus/tram/trolley you cannot change to another one with the same ticket. 30 minutes (0.90€) - transfers are allowed, during weekends ticket is valid for 90 minutes. 60 minutes (1.20€) - transfers are allowed, during weekends ticket is valid for 90 minutes. 24-hours (3.50€), 72-hours ticket (8.00€), or 168-hours (11.40€) - transfers allowed; good choice for tourists expecting to use public transport more frequently. It allows you to travel as much as you need by all forms of transport. It is also possible to buy an SMS ticket but it is working only for customers of Slovak mobile phone operators (T-Mobile, Orange, O2 Telefonica, Tesco Mobile, FunFon). These tickets are valid for 70 minutes (1€ cost of your prepaid credit) and are transferable among lines. If you are visiting Bratislava for couple of days and you know you will need the public transport several times, we recommend you to buy a Multiday Tourist Ticket for unlimited numbers of routes including the night buses. You can also buy "combined" tickets that might be used for travelling to small cities and villages close to Bratislava, you have to pay for every zone you cross (city center counts for two), please consult this map for further details. Validating tickets For getting on/off you can use every door opened along the whole vehicle. The ticket must be marked in the nearest ticket marker immediately after getting on. The marking devices are located by every door of the public transport and are working during the whole ride until the ticket inspector gets on the same bus as you, from that moment are the marking machines blocked. If your ticket is not marked or it is not valid anymore or you have transferred with 15 minutes ticket, you could get a fine. It is possible to pay on spot or in 5 days, the price is "only" 50€. If you pay between 5-30 days you have to pay 70€ in the office of Bratislava Public Transport (DPB). If you do not have cash, they will happily walk with you to the nearest ATM since they have bigger commission from your fine. Be careful, ticket inspectors are sometimes rude to tourists. Finding timetables, stops & routes If you are not sure about your destination or bus number, you may definitely ask someone waiting with you at the stop; they will be happy to help you out. The drivers usually do not speak foreign languages and are not that happy to assist you. Vast majority of vehicles are equipped with displays showing the next stop, maps of public transport lines, and even announcing all stops out loud. To plan a journey, use imhd.sk journey planner (english) To find schedules, use imhd.sk schedules timetables (english) To find routes & stops on map, choose one of the imhd.sk public-transport maps (english) To get general info about public transport, use imhd.sk (english) There are timetable apps avaible for both Android and iOS Popular routes for tourists How to get from Central Railway station ("Hlavna stanica") to (or from): Airport ("Letisko") - there is a direct bus from the central railway station, number 61 and the airport is the very last bus stop. Buy a 60-minute bus ticket for 1.20€. It takes approx. 20 minutes though. In a rush hour (5 - 6 pm) count with at least 30 minutes. Bus station ("Autobusova stanica- Mlynske nivy") - there is a direct trolleybus number 210 get off at the last bus stop – "Autobusova stanica". 15-minute ticket is enough for this route, because it takes only 10 minutes.

You can find the nearest stop at this page, if you are not sure all busses start their route at AS Mlynské Nivy. This service is different from the public transport in Bratislava - the tickets are bought directly from the bus driver, so you have to enter via the front doors (tell the driver your destination. It is good to have coins and not bills, but you will get your change back anyways). Bicycles in public transport Transporting bikes in public trams or buses is possible and for free, but is not allowed during the rush hours (you can transport bikes form 9:00 - 13:00, 18:00 - 6:00, during weekends and public holidays). You need to buy and mark a special ticket and ask the driver to give u permission in order to take the bike inside (it might happen, that the place selected for transporting bikes, strollers, wheelchairs is already occupied, so you have to wait for the next line). Board through the doors with a bicycle sign. It is possible to transport maximum 2 bikes in the first tram carriege or in the whole bus, so if you are in a bigger group you need to split. But the trams drive very often (every 10-12 minutes), so you can wait for each other at the final destination. |accommodation=Airbnb is a posibility. |food=Great street food and lots of choices, for budget traveling you have lots of supermarkets.

Drop by the firehouse and ask if they have a space for you to lay your blankets and pitch your tent. Usually they will let you use their bathrooms and kitchen too. As a last resort, there are [[police]] in '''bus terminals''' all night, if you don't mind sleeping under the florescent lights. |connectivity=In addition to the internet cafes, you may also find '''Infocentros''' in small towns around the country. These are government-funded facilities with free computers with internet access. You just need to show your ID to use a computer (a foreign driver's license worked fine). Look out for signs that say "Infocentro <Town name>" along the highway. There is also a map of Infocentros on their [http://www.infocentros.gob.ec/index.php/ website] (in spanish). |visa=Ecuador only borders two countries: [[Peru]] to the South and East and [[Colombia]] to the North and East. In the Amazon region of Ecuador, there's some border crossings by river boat that aren't really good for hitchhiking, but might provide a great challenge. Ecuador has one of the most chill visa policies in the world, therefore many people with "difficult" passports can also come and enjoy the country for 90 days. === [[Peru]] === All border crossings are ordered roughly from West to East. Ecuador and Perú had a border dispute as recent as 1999, so perhaps be sensitive on the issue. This is not a comprehensive list of border crossings, as there are many more, but most of these will have immigration offices to process international visitors. '''Huaquillas to Aguas Verdes''' is probably a local border crossing between the two countries, not suitable for foreign passports. The border is the bridge over the Zarumilla river. The location of immigration offices is unknown. Please add information if you've hitched this. Perhaps take the next border crossing instead: '''Puente Internacional Zarumilla''' is a major border crossing between roughly Ciudad Astral in Ecuador and Zarumilla in Perú. The location of the Ecuadorian customs and immigration is about 2 km from the actual border. The location of the border control on the Peruvian side is unknown. Please add info if you've hitched this! '''El Alamor''' between Zapotillo in Ecuador on the E25 and Lancones in Perú on the 1NN. The immigration offices are about 600 meters apart across a small bridge over the Rio Alamor. Please add info if you hitchhiked this! '''Puente Internacional Macará''' from Macará in Ecuador on the E35 to Suyo in Perú on the 1NL. It seems to be the "real" Panamerican Highway border crossing between the two countries. The immigration offices are about 500 meters apart. Please add info if you hitched this! '''Rio Canchis/La Balza''' from Zumba, Ecuador on the E682, to Namballe, Perú on the 5N. Immigration offices are 400 meters apart over a bridge. Let us know if you hitched this border! '''Río Santiago''' perhaps there is a river boat from Jempekat/Soldado Monge in Ecuador via the Rio Santiago and the Rio Marañon to Saramiriza in Perú. There seems to be both a Peruvian and an Ecuadorian settlement at the border, which is perhaps a military base or an immigration office. Let us know if you crossed the border here! '''Río Pastaza''' perhaps there is a river boat from between [[Puyo]] and Macas in Ecuador down the Río Pastaza (border town named Andoas), to San Lorenzo/Yurimaguas in Perú. Let us know if you're aware this route exists! '''Río Napo''' between Nuevo Rocafuerte/[[El Coca]] in Ecuador and Cabo Pantoja/[[Iquitos]] in Perú. [[User:MOAH|Mind of a Hitchhiker]] crossed this border in May 2017 in opposite direction and wrote extensively about this trip and made a video [https://mindofahitchhiker.com/iquitos-peru-coca-ecuador-river-boat/ here]! Immigration offices are in Nuevo Rocafuerte and Cabo Pantoja. IMPORTANT: when trying to leave Ecuador to Colombia via Tulcán border crossing, it turned out [[User:MOAH|Mind of a Hitchhiker]]'s entry stamp from Nuevo Rocafuerte was not entered in the electronic system - guess what, the connection in the jungle isn't that great! She was turned away to make copies of her passport (three of the main page, three of the entry stamp page) and return. The lady who copies your passport is in a little booth 40 meters from the immigration office. The six pages will cost you $0.60 and then the officer is happy. Realize when crossing the Nuevo Rocafuerte border, you'll need to take a little more time to exit Ecuador because of your silly (but great) stamp! '''Güeppi''' is the (northernmost) Peruvian town on the tri-border with Ecuador and Colombia on the banks of the river Putumayo. There is a Peruvian military base here. To enter via Ecuador, enter the Putumayo river from the town Puerto El Carmen de Putumayo, or another village at the river connected by road. Getting here via any of the Ecuadorian or Colombian rivers would be both an incredible adventure and a hassle. One can follow the Río Putumayo downstream until Tarapaca in Colombia on the border with Brazil. Eventually, the river will enter the majestic Amazon river. Let us know if you did it! === [[Colombia]] === All border crossings are ordered roughly from West to East. Ecuador was formed from the former country Gran Colombia and the flags of Ecuador, Colombia and [[Venezuela]] are nearly the same design, indicating their common history. The following list of border crossings isn't comprehensive. '''Mataje''' roughtly from San Lorenzo in Ecuador on the E10 to Espriella/Tumaco in Colombia on the ruta 10. WARNING! This border crossing is rather new, and at the time of research (June 2017) it wasn't clear yet if the border crossing had been opened yet. It was announced in 2014 and the project would take two years to finish, so ideally it should be done already. It crosses the Río Mataje. Let us know if this fresh border crossing has been opened to international travelers already and how it was to hitchhike it! '''Tufiño - Chiles''' from Tufiño in Ecuador on the E182, to Chiles in Colombia. There is a bridge across the Carchi river, which forms the border. It is unknown if and where the immigration offices are located and if it's possible to cross on a foreign passport. Let us know if you hitched this border! '''Puente Internacional Rumichaca''' between Tulcán in Ecuador and Ipiales in Colombia. This is the "official" Panamerican Highway border crossing between the two countries, and the one most certainly accepting foreign passports. The distance between immigration offices is 400 meters. There's a bridge crossing the Carchi river. Please add information if you hitched this! '''Urbina''' a few kilometers from the Rumichaca border crossing is the smaller border crossing in the Ecuadorian town of Urbina at the river of the same name. The nearest town on the Colombian side is again Ipiales. It is unknown where the Colombian stamp-in immigration office is at. Let us know if you hitched this! '''Puente Internacional San Miguel''' between Nueva Loja (also known as Lago Agrio) in Ecuador on the E45, and La Hormiga in Colombia on the Ruta 45. The immigration offices are at the San Miguel river bridge and are 200 meters apart. Please add information if you hitched this border! '''Puerto Asís''' isn't a real border, but it is a town located at the Putumayo river that forms part of the border with Ecuador. It is likely possible that there are river boats from here to Puerto El Carmen de Putumayo in Ecuador, the tri-border with Perú called Güeppi, and far away places in Colombia like Tarapaca (near [[Leticia]]). Eventually, the Putumayo river will become part of the Amazon river in Brazil and end in the Atlantic Ocean, if you're looking at the big picture. Please add any information you have if you have taken a river boat border crossing in this area! }} == Healthcare == '''Centros de Salud''', found in most cities and towns, give out free condoms, and probably healthcare too.

Walk out of the bus station take a right and then a left on the bigger crossing. Here you can either start hitching or walk a bit further till the next traffic light. Around here people will always ask you money so be sure to have a translation of what you are doing. Once you are in Gubeikou you have to pass the police check point and walk for about 200m until you see a street going left towards some neighborhood of Gubeikou. Always walk straight until the road will eventually turn to dirt road. The road ends with a house. The trail starts right before the house to the left. Follow this trail and you will eventually hit the Great Wall. The Trailhead as well as the access point are marked on MAPS.me. You can walk here for about 4km on the wall for free until you will be asked by the ticket officer of the Jinshanling part for your ticket (after having left the wall because of the military zone). You can just walk out and hitch back from Jinshanling to Beijing.

You can also get the 2 Lari deposit back when you hand the card in again, but you need to give back also the receipt that you got from the ticket office. From metro stations one can reach further parts of the city by city buses or ''marshrutkas''. You can travel by city bus without buying a ticket, but in this case you must be careful.

You just have to wave away the constant stream of taxis pulling in. |accommodation=* Under the big antenna and panoramic wheel there is a very good place for wildcamp, if you get lost following next instructions just take antenna and wheel as point of reference, the place is like 40 metres below them. From Rustaveli metro station (very central indeed), just take the direction of the antenna. The road start beside McD's on its left. Continue this road till number 32. more or less, after turn left and follow the stairs. They will lead you up until another car road, and u'll have a little park with benche. There start the jogging path (u can recognize it is very new made) leading you till the spot. going up 10 min walks u will reach a fountain, the path split, on your right (50 m up) you have a perfect spot with also a fountain, on the left (2-300 m up) staying at what joggers said you have another one, more calm but no fountain. (edit 2015): "We haven't found the second upper place, if you try to hike towards the antenna, in 20-30 minutes you will reach only the high fence around antenna and NO sleeping place. Finally, we slept near fountain, but the place is rocky, it's next to impossible to pitch a tent with pegs" * Other option is move to Mtskheta, 10 km north, easy to hitch but even a minibus should cost very few. The town is very calm, lots of parks and green areas, best spot 300m on the hill, old cemetery, little church a great neighborhood and an amazing view. Water there is only in the downside park. Alternatively u can also sleep on the front hill of Jvari monastery. Lots of car go there for tourism, but u will have no water nor shops for food, might ask the monks. Anyway the sight at sunset is completely worthy to go. - Balkasus slept in the park of 9th April right behind Saarbruken bridge without any troubles in august 2015. The place is safe, relatively quiet (if you take apart the traffic sound) and central. Ask the security guides they will tell you where to pitch the tent. * ''(oct 2012) I slept under the antenna and had amazing surprises. In the evening I found a group of guys celebrating their birthday, offered me food, wine and lots of good company. In the morning i was woken up by typical georgian men shouting and enjoying their rest after jogging, we had a great time together as well.

Board the tram at the rear and have 3 euro ready to pay (it is best to have a Dutch chip card since then you pay for a distance and not per ride - and for few stops you will pay between 0.5 - 1 euro instead of 3 without it). The inspector (wearing an ugly yellow and black jacket with green, red and purple stripes) will have to walk the length of the entire tram checking tickets before he/she reaches you. Hopefully you have reached the stop by this time, if not just give the inspector the 3 euro for the ticket as though you were waiting to buy one from them. This is common practice. ===Metro=== The Metro is harder to blackride, you'll have to follow somebody going through the gates very closely. Make sure nobody's watching, though. Or, if there is elevator, which probably will be somewhere close to station, but not near the main entrance. Next to elevator it will be OV-Chipkaart terminal and no gates.

The main station in Ulaanbaatar however closes after the last train leaves (not sure exactly when but surely before midnight) and does not reopen until 5AM.

Usually the soldiers will help you to find a ride if you first just try to walk -- but that won't be a guarantee that the ride will be for free. Keep trying until you get a ride (or too frustrated, with the Chinese border terminal looming in the distance, guards not allowing you to simply cover the 500 meters by foot). Keep your morals up and be very persistent. Explain that your visa will expire if they don't take you. They will insist that it's impossible, they will try to get your money by every means but keep your head up until they realize that the energy put into convincing you to pay is greater than the energy they would put into convincing the taxis to take you for free. November 2015 I walked straight to the guards on the Chinese side with my passport in hand as if I was going to cross the border on foot. When I was stopped I showed a piece of paper saying something along the lines of "Can I get a ride for free?"'. The soldier wrote me "I will help you through a translator". A higher commanding officer was brought over and I was in a jeep for free in about 5 minutes. Source and detailed information for this paragraph: [http://takemeeast.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-way-to-mongolia.html here] This border is very strange. Only some special type of cars are allowed to cross. Only chinese cars and old soviet jeeps. That is why mongolian people usually leave their car on one side of the border and take a taxi even if they have their own vehicle (!). The border processing is also somewhat complicated. Here is the detailed description from Mongolia to China: # You take a taxi from before the border to the mongolian checkpoint. The price is about 10 yuan but you can avoid it (described above) # You buy some kind of border pass for 1000 MNT which allows you to get to the mongolian passport check # You get a stamp, you take the jeep again, you show your stamp to the guards you pass by (they don't stop the car, they check your stamp while driving in order to not lose time) # You arrive at the chinese checkpoint, you buy another border pass for 5 yuan # You drive from the checkpoint to Erlian, you show your stamp to the guards you pass by. # That's it, you are in China The other way (Mongolia -> China) is similar === From Ulaanbataar to [[China]] === The main border crossing with China is in the South-East at Zamyn Uud. Hitchhiking there from Ulaan Baatar is not difficult, as of 2013 the paved road is basically completed. However, do not expect a direct ride from UB to the border, you will probably stop at every major city. Expect 2 days to get to your destination. It follows the Transmongolian Railway and gives you the security not to die of thirst. [[:hitch:User:Worldhitch|Worldhitch]] also got a lift by the great Defektoskop train. === From the border to the capital === Hitching from Zamyn Uud to Ulaanbaatar is very easy. The capital is always easier to hitchhike than any other city and this section is completly paved and has a lot of traffic in all times of year; mongolians love to do their shopping in china. Expect a one day ride. === Russian Border at Kyakhta/Altanbulag === This is probably the easiest border crossing in Mongolia as there is a paved road all the way to Ulaanbaatar. Decline all taxis and walk for a few minutes after you cross the border and start hitching. It is not always obvious someone is running a taxi. Double-check before you get in. If you do end up getting into a taxi, expect a hefty fee to be charged (such as US$150) when arriving at your destination. Should you get into this problem, then be sure to take it up with the police. They seem to be cracking down on illegal taxis. Don't expect that this will mean you can avoid paying at least something, though. It's impossible to cross the border by foot. You'll have to get into one of the paid taxis. I waited about 20 minutes showing my sign that I'm unable to pay to both the guards and the cars parked there and eventually one of them took me with him for free. === Russian Border at Erentsav === This Northeastern border is a terrible idea unless you have a good reason to go there. Hitchhiking from Ulaanbaatar to Khenti is pretty straightforward but things get tricky after that as there is no paved road. If you are lucky enough to find a ride to Choibalsan, you won't be so lucky when you try to hitch to Erentsav. There is almost no traffic and you are likely to take the train which leaves twice a week (on Mondays and Thursdays from Choibalsan to Erentsav). }} [[couch:Mongolia]] jcxgvlm7yup4qjeklpb63t8ayyk2d7x 0 574 1308 2018-03-07T14:28:57Z imported>Isa kayo 0 adding interfamily links 1308 wikitext text/x-wiki {{City |country=Czech Republic |introduction='''Brno''' is the second largest city in the [[Czech Republic]]. |transport=The whole region is divided into zones, so when you buy a ticket, you must buy it for time period, and for zones, which you can go through.

The cheapest hostels in Victoria (HiHostel for example) are around 30$ per night. For Vancouver, if you have not booked ahead of time, the cheapest hostels are around 50$ per night or more. I was told from a local in Victoria that it is legal to camp in Beacon Hill park if you took down your tent in the morning (maybe 11-7 or something like that). I was also warned that there had been one or two people killed around the park area in the past months. In the park there are signs forbidding camping. I slept there one night and it was fine. There are many homeless people in both Vancouver and Victoria and many people sleep at shop entrances. Backcountry camping along the Juan de Fuca trail is 10$ per night, which was for unsupervised campgrounds with bearproof food storage facility and restrooms. I believe that camping on Crown Land, if no special rules apply, is free. A lot of Canadian land is Crownland. However, getting to Crownland without a car is not always easy and it is important to remember that there are many bears in Vancouver and that '''wild camping (especially on your own) requires a higher degree of preparation and care than what is common for example in most of Europe.''' [[http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/conserve/bearsandcougars.pdf?v=1529595856710][<-Link to BC-parks info about bears and cougars]] Another difference from Europe is that the possibility of getting lost if you go off trail can be larger and more dangerous, since there are large expanses of wilderness with very little people and the vegetation can be very dense. Also, in the wilderness it is not at all certain you will have coverage on your phone. Take the time to be prepared and to talk to locals about the conditions in the area where you are considering camping. By the foot of Grouse mountain there is part of the parking lot that is under reconstruction because of possibility of falling rocks from above. If you want to risk this it was possible to camp on a bluff above this lot (june 2018) without being seen from below, but not certain of the legality.

A trip in only one zone costs about 2.50. If you have 2.40 you '''can still enter''' the transportation system - when you exit ('tap out') your card will have -0.10 and the next time you fill upp your card you pay 10.10$ to have a balance of 10$, so you kind of borrow from your future self. The system is operated by Translink: [https://www.translink.ca/] Vancouver Island has buses where you only can pay with cash. They cannot always give change, so exact fare is good. The fare is usually about 2.50$. Most buses are operated by BC Transit: [https://bctransit.com/*/choose-transit-system]. Everybody says thank you to the bus drivers when they get off. British Columbia might have the nicest bus drivers in the world. --[[User:Gnyrfta|Gnyrfta]] ([[User talk:Gnyrfta|talk]]) 18:43, 21 June 2018 (CEST) [[trash:British Columbia]] kes011o72qmmyd435g93q7ssl5ra7ie 3 583 1317 2018-09-10T11:14:25Z Guaka 1 welcome 1317 wikitext text/x-wiki Hi Hamish!
