Nach ueber 50 Stunden Zugfahrt sind wir in der Hauptstadt Sibiriens angekommen und sind nun in Novosibirsk (1.5 Mio. Einw.). Wie geplant wurden wir auf dem Bahnsteig von unserer Gastfamilie in empfang genommen. Mit dem Auto fuhren wir dann in Richtung Stadtrand wo es unzaehliege Plattenbauten gibt. Tja, von aussen sehen diese nicht gerade einladend aus. Als wir aber durch die Panzertuere in die Wohnung ...

Hello Everyone Well me and Peter had made it to Irkutsk alive and well(ish) and we have sorted our train tickets to Ulan Bator (Mongolia) so we can final relax and enjoy the last week or so in Russia. Anyways, to recount the last 96 hours. On the 7th Aug, we caught the train from Yekaterinburg to Novosibirsk. Time was mostly spent reading books, worrying about buying train tickets to Ulan Bator, playing cards and talking to a young lad in ...

Saavuimme Novosibirskiin aamulla 06:20, jo toisen nukkumatta jääneen yön jälkeen. Mitään majoitusta meillä ei ollut varattuna, joten otimme bussin rautatieasemalle ja toivoimme sieltä saavamme majoituksen järjestymään. Rautatieasemalla seisoi kuin seisoikin useampi nainen, jotka mainostivat vuokraavansa asuntoja. Lähestyimme yhtä naista ja hän vakuutti, että hänellä on kolmen huoneen asunto ihan tässä vieressä, missä on punkat kaikille ...

Det er seint no og eg faar legga ut bilder seinare: Den transsibirske jernbanen gjer noke med hjernen din. Du faar ein ro inni deg etter kvart som du sakte men sikkert stille klokko ein time fram. Landskapet suser av og til forbi, andre gonger rusler det forbi. Me opplevde aldri hastighetar over 110 og snittfarten med stopp ligg paa 60. Toget me tok til Novosibirsk var tog nr 2, toget til Vladivostok. Det var eit tog med relativt ...

There is a company called 'The vodka train' which organise train tickets and excursions on the Tran-Siberian Railway, it is a good company but the luxury of someone meeting you at the station (holding your hand basically!!) and someone booking all of your tickets will cost you over 1000 pounds, I was tempted to do this before I left for the convenience as its is really hard to buy tickets but was put off by ...

Km 3303 of the Trans-Siberian-Railway. More information: http://wikitravel.org/en/Novosibirsk ...

The train took 5 days to cross the vast snow covered plains of Russia and Siberia. We spent most of it staring out of the window trying to spot the Kilometre posts that mark how many km we had come from Moscow! We would look up our location in the the fabulous 'Transiberian Handbook' by ...

... after a while and the long distances between everything get awfully tiring. Thing is, I kind of expected all this. I was well aware of the city's reputation long before coming, but for some reason I really wanted to hit it on my itinerary. Something about the name "Novosibirsk" and its curiously isolated spot on the map has attracted me for a long while, so I had to fit it in. I initially had the notion of spending the day here and then moving on to nearby Tomsk for the ...

... notes that reminded one of being in a downpour that doesn't end. A good, new song was called "Moskva" (Moscow). All the instruments eventually clashed together in the wonderful end, and Shevchuk - referring to the big-city noise - yelled, "Nichego neponimayu!" (I don't understand anything!) They played one of their many songs about autumn, and said that autumn has a "dozdlivoe serdtse" (rainy heart) and "tyomnaya dusha" (dark soul). Shevchuk played a song ...
