Carona, gentileza e motoristas dinamarqueses nos dando carona
Caso alguém não tenha assistido à versão completa do último vídeo que postei no Youtube, aí vai... Mas está sem legenda porque editar já é trabalhoso e por legenda é ainda mais. :/Por quê viajar de carona é tão massa?
Por causa de toas as pessoas massa e gentis que você conhece na estrada. Às vezes a pessoa que te dá carona nasceu ou mora há muito tempo no lugar pra onde você está indo e essa pessoa te ensinará um monte de coisas simplesmente porque ela quer.
Em outras palavras, eu diria que não é apenas para viajar de graça, mas você talvez até seja recebido no lugar por uma pessoa local que terá orgulho em te ensinar tudo que ela sabe sobre o lugar e sua história. Gentileza é algo que sempre me fascina (e algo que sempre me ensina a ser cada vez mais gentil também).
Neste vídeo você meus primeiros experimentos com meu novo brinquedo - uma câmera da GoPro com a qual eu acho que peguei uns ângulos de filmagem bem legais, até mesmo com pontos de vista de fora de um conversível que foi quem nos deu a primeira carona de Odense até uma cidade chamada Svendborg. Evaristo e eu pedimos carona desde a ilha de Fyn até a ilha de Thurø, Dinamarca. Poucos quilômetros de muita diversão.
No dia seguinte, após acamparmos rodeados de vacas, começou a chover e a gente decidiu voltar pra casa sem visitar uma outra praia (nudista) que tínhamos planejado. Mas essa viagem foi sem graça porque nós estávamos apenas caminhando rumo à saída da ilha onde iríamos pedir carona, e um senhor gentil parou pra perguntar se precisávamos de algo. Entramos no carro dele e ele nos levaria até a saída da cidade onde queríamos pedir carona, mas dentro do carro nos demos conta de que ele estava indo direto até Odense, então a gente foi deixado basicamente em casa com apenas essa carona.
Bonus
O Mural de Thurø ("Thurøs væg" em Dinamarquês) é o nome do lugar que o Rolf (o último senhor que nos deu carona) nos mostrou. Lá, pessoas que vivem na ilha de Thurø penduram cartazes com tudo que é tipo de mensagem. Abaixo vai uma traducão do que eu encontrei sobre esse mural em um guia turístico que me deram na ilha (não consegui encontrar nada mais sobre isso buscando na internet).

| Thurø "væg" ou O "mural" de Thurø - um lugar onde pessoas que vivem na ilha de Thurø penduram basicamente tudo que é tipo de mensagem. |
"Desde antes do Facebook ou a Internet existirem, Thurø já possuía o seu próprio mural de mensagens. Isso comecou a 100 anos atrás como uma maneira de informar outros cidadãos sobre o que andava acontecendo na ilha. "O Mural" ainda é muito utilizado hoje em dia com mensagens sobre basicamente tudo, desde batatas da nova estacão à venda até parabenizacões por aniversários, shows de bandas de garagem etc, etc."(Desculpem-me se a traducão não está perfeita, mas isso foi o máximo que conseguir fazer com meu Dinamarquês de iniciante. :-] )
Just in case someone has not watched the full version of the last video I've uploaded to Youtube, there you go.
Because of all the awesome and kind people you meet on the road. Sometimes you're even picked up by a person who's born or lives for a long time in your destination and this person is gonna teach you a lot of stuff simply because they want to.
In other words, I'd say, it's not only for free transportation but you might even be welcomed by a local person who'll tell you proudly all they know about their city and history. Kindness is something that always amazes me (and something that always teaches me to be each time more kind too).
In this video you see my first experiments with my new toy - a GoPro camera which I think I've made some nice shots with, even from an outside point of view from a convertible car that picked us up from Odense to a city called Svendborg as a first ride. Evaristo and I were hitchhiking from inside the island of Fyn to the island of Thurø, in Denmark. A few kilometers of lots of fun.
In the next day after camping surrounded by cows, it started to rain and we decided to come back home skipping our plan to visit another (nude) beach. But that trip was boring because we were just walking towards the exit of the island to hitchhike from there, and an old kind man stopped his car to ask if we needed something. He put us into his car to drive us to the exit of the city, but on the way we found out he was coming all the way to Odense, so we were dropped us off basically at home by this only single ride.
Thurø's Wall ("Thurøs væg" in Danish) is the name of the place that Rolf (the last guy who picked us up) showed us. There, people who live in the island of Thurø hang some signs with different sayings. Here goes a translation of what I found about it on a local guide that they gave me on the island (I couldn't find anything else about it on the internet).
Why hitchhiking is so amazing?

"Since before Facebook and the Internet exist, Thurø has its own wall of messages. It started 100 years ago and as a way to inform the other citizens about what was going on in the island. "The Wall" is still very used nowadays with information about everything, from fresh potatoes on sale to birthday congratulations, amateur band shows and so on."(I'm sorry if the translation is not perfect, but this was the maximum I could do with my beginner-level in Danish. :-] )
