... Lucky for us (not) he was in our cabin and after telling him for the hundredth time that no we did not want to drink Vodka with him, his girlfriend came to the rescue and dragged him off into the restaurant car. That is until he had obviously come back to bed and was snoring like a trooper - it was loud and very comical! By the morning the apologies started flowing and for a man that couldn't speak English he could say 'sorry&#8217 ...

The day (at midnight Moscow time) started at around the city of Ekaterinburg. Today wasn't much different then yesterday. Just a bit better communication with the helper lady. We did have one stop later at night and good lord the mosquitos were quite intense. I quickly got back on the train after that. The two girls had also bought some vodka and proceeded to get drunk.. and giving me a drink here and there as well. Uno and vodka ended the night, the 2nd night on the train.

... de chaque jour, mon sac deballer, Aujourd'hui, j'ai envie de me poser, Besoin de vivre ma vie dans un meuble*. La tete de certains, deja je vois, Man'U, vraiment tu fais n'importe quoi, Tu n'as qu'20 ans, la vie devant toi, A mon avis, tu fais le mauvais choix. Non, non, non, je sais que je leur repondrais, C'est tres reflechi, je sais ce que je fais, Sedentaire, il y a longemps, l'homme devenait, Je ...

... Aug at 20:30ish. During that time, we chatted to the couple in our cabin. The girl was from the Black Sea area and the guy from around Irkutsk. He used to be in the army apparently (looked like a guy you wouldn't want a fight with!). Regardless, they were very nice. Anyways, we are safely in Irkutsk, trains and buses all organized for the next several days so next update will be in a few days. Hope everyone is well and okay Mark and Peter

... cityscape. The city essentially didn't exist until the Trans-Siberian was begun in the late 19th century, and most of its growth came from the 1930s onwards (not the most inspiring years aesthetically speaking). With the exception of a very few wooden and brick buildings in a couple sections of downtown, its largely a city of concrete and vast, heavily-trafficked boulevards. While it's certainly buzzing, its primarily heavy, brown and grey architecture gets pretty ...

... bus in Baltimore in January, and I've taken advantage of this mishap to liberate myself from the dependency on eye-wear. Though I wanted to see Shevchuk, I only risked my eyes to squint once or twice. I like to think his face was grizzly. "Dozd" (Rain) was the first classic song I recognized. Shevchuk sang: I opened the window, "vesyolyy veter" (cheerful wind) blew through, onto the table, and got wet some "stixi" I'd written. The saxophone player held long ...

... raining outside the train. An enormous lake with no end. I returned to bed because I was really tired and at 11.30 am I open my eyes. We met Janelise!!! And we had lunch meet solianka, a soup made of lemon, meat, mayonnaise, olives, vinegar cucumber and onion with her. It can sound ...

... contain the Moscow times, even when we are several hours ahead. There is both local time and Moscow time. Time to be organised when making connections. For example Irkutsk, our destination, is Moscow time + 5 hours. So that as our journey progresses, it gets noticeably darker much earlier on. The choice is to either live by the timetable ie. on Moscow time, and to hell with the conflict in daylight hours. Or else to ...
