=== East towards [[Vladimir]], [[Nizhny Novgorod]], the Far East {{Motorway Number Russia|7}} ===
[[File:Moscow east.jpg|thumb|The Hitchhiking spot (behind the bridge) in direction Vladimir]]
Take the metro to the station ''Shosse Entuziastov'' (Шоссе Энтузиастов). From there, walk up to the main street and you'll directly be at the bus stop. Here, take bus #702 or #214 to ''Southern Izmaylovo'' (южное Измайлово). Get out at the last stop. Here you can already hear the motorway, though it's a bit difficult to find it in first place. Walk back in south-eastern direction until you'll find a McDonalds restaurant. This is directy located at the motorway junction of the ring. Walk for around 150m east down under the bridge until you find a good spot to start hitchhiking. Additionally, you can also walk 300m further until the petrol station and start hitchhiking on the hard shoulder just behind it. Traffic here is huge.
=== West towards [[Pskov]], [[Riga]] ([[Latvia]]) {{Motorway Number Russia|9}} ===
Тake bus #127 from metro ''Молодёжная'' (Molodyozhnaya; blue line) towards ''Pублево'' (Rublevo) to the very last stop. Continue to walk straight along ''Улица Василия Ботылёва'' (Ulitsa Vasiliya Botylyova) for about 500m. You will find yourself just in front of the [[M9 (Russia)|M9]] motorway now. You will see that there is a noise protection wall, but it is possible to walk to the left behind the bridge, and after some meters you can climb up the hill up to the motorway. There's plenty of space on the hard shoulder to stop cars. Most traffic might only go to the next villages, so make sure to get a ride at least 30-50 km further out of the suburbs of Moscow.
==WiFi and Energy==
Compared to the european cities, Moscow is a far easier city to find open wi-fi signal. For an easy solution, many metro lines have public open wifi inside the trains (but not in at the plataformsplatforms).
If you need also a power plug to charge your cellphone or computer, there are at least two good options:
3) University buildings are usually good places for it but not in Russia; in general you cannot enter in the buildings unless you are a student or a functionary of it.
