== Useful things ==
You have good chances of finding quite nice '''food''' in the dumpsters of petrol stations along the smaller roads (the E4 is ''not'' a good bet for this). Supermarkets are hard to dumpsterdive in Sweden.
'''Internet''' you can normally get at the public or university libraries for free. Sometimes you have to ask for a guest account.
There's a quite useful '''[[map]]''' ("vägkarta") which you can get at ''OKQ8'' petrol stations. It's for whole Sweden and has all ''OKQ8'' petrol stations on it, which can be quite handy when hitchhiking and looking for a good place to be dropped off. [http://publikationswebbutik.vv.se/shopping/ShowItem____4483.aspx Here's another map] that you can apparently order for free.
It is quite usual to send a '''thanksaying-message''' the day after a party or after a meeting − saying something like "Thanks for yesterday". When you one '''enter enters a flat''' or an apartment(or go further into a truck cab than the passenger seat), it is a must to take off ones shoes!
It is recommended to bring insect repellent if you hitch during the summer.
For the best chance of getting "lift", go to the petrol stations or were people stop for food along the road.Some Swedes can be quite reserved and for this reason it helps to introduce yourself (with a smile), instead of just being astranger on the side of the road. Just a thumbs up will work, but might take longer.After 18.00 in the afternoon hitching is difficult here.
