Participants are hitching from different locations. To make an overview of who is hitching from where, and to make coordination a bit easier, there is an overview of the [[Project 888/Cities]]. The cities are categorized according to distance from Paris. In some of the cities there are also [[Project 888/Meetings]] that are held in the week towards the 8th of August.
 
 
 
You are asked to sign up in the cities you are departing from, or crossing. You can use either the event-pages on Couchsurfing, or the [[Project 888/Cities]]. '''Participants are also using [http://www.couchsurfing.com/group.html?gid=9367 this group] to discuss different routes.'''
 
 
 
==The Documentary Project==
 
 
 
[[Image:images.jpg|left|thumb|234px|]]
 
 
 
 
 
The 888 project community has decided to get together and unite to make a documentary about hitchhiking. Different cameramen will be joining different hitchhikers across their journey:
 
* Pascal Dumont will be filmed by Fabrice Renucci and they will hitch from Yerevan,Armenia to Paris, France.
 
* Martin Boserup will be filmed by Misha Fournial and they will hitch from Saint Peterburg, Russia to Paris, France
 
 
 
[[Documentary Project instructions for cameramen]]
 
 
 
We are also inviting all the people wishing to meet up with hitchhikers from all over the world on August 8th, to participate in this documentary project through any way they would feel like:
 
You can either:
 
 
 
*Keep a journal
 
*Take photos
 
*Record with an audio recorder
 
*Draw
 
*Film
 
 
 
The film project will be a sort of patchwork using all the material that the hitchhikers will bring with them on August 8th.

Early August 2008. Radek, Pascal, Martin and Lily embarked on a hitchhiking adventure to Paris. One common goal united them: to arrive under the Eiffel Tower on August 8th to be part of the first European Hitchhiking Week.

Martin, [the Suit] decided to dress up to increase his chances from Copenhagen. Radek, [the Philosopher] opted for starting from Spanish country roads to embrace mother nature and escape the smells of large motorways. Pascal, [the all worked out Quebequois], resolved to hitch rides all the way from Asia to make it a little bit more interesting. Lily, [the first-timer] hoped she would not become the prey of some ill-intentioned male counterparts .
