A group of international students was attending college in Europe. They had long time between semesters a for travel, so they decided to hitchhike as far as they could in other countries. In many places, they were successful. They put their thumbs out or pointed them backwards and smiled friendly drivers stopped. As soon as the first traveler a"yes" answer from a driver, he got motioned with his hand or fingers for his friends to come or he held both thumbs up in an"OK" sign or made a circle with the thumb and the next finger of one hand. The young tourists saved money, saw a lot of the countryside, and had interesting conversations and experiences.
