I survived the 4 day train trip from Moscow, so I am now in Siberia, which contrary to rumors is warm and sunny. In fact the only rain I've seen so far on this trip was over the last couple of days, when I was on the train.
The train itself was very international - a big group of Germans, two Frenchmen Jean-paul and Olevier, a couple of Belgians Pascal ans Alexia, and a handful of Russians. Late night vodka sessions were conducted in a mixture of English, French and Russian.
Jean-Paul decided to have a change from the train on the second day and chased us in a taxi, which being a Lada broke down just before he reached the train. At subsequent stops we made sure that he didn't stray too far :)
Other than that it was a straightforward, if not smooth due to the Russian coaches, journey.
