I'm an Israeli, I've hitchhiked here several times, and I've never heard of or seen a hitchhiker "point his thumb down". Where is this info from? I think I'll remove it. [[User:Volland|Volland]] 23:21, 18 July 2007 (CEST)
:It says "pointing to the ground with the hand far from the body", which is probably similar to what worked for [[amylinUser:Amylin|Amylin]] and me in [[Thailand]], [[Laos]] and [[China]]. We also used to slowly wave. Sometimes a bit more frantically, if there hadn't been a single car passing in 2 hours time. Also, Russian hitchhikers are known to hitchhike like that all the time.

::Ok, I stand corrected. However I've still never seen a hitchhiker in Israel do this gesture - only the usual raising of the thumb. Where is your info from? [[User:Volland|Volland]] 21:48, 20 July 2007 (CEST)
::Oh, sorry, I didn't get it. A CouchSurfer just corrected me. Nevermind. :) [[User:Volland|Volland]] 00:59, 22 July 2007 (CEST)
