Best Eastern New Star Hotel Perm

... reality on the teain, I brought a multi ise sink plug which does the trick. The toilet opens up after you use it and the contents just simply drop on to the tracks they close it whilst at the stations which is a good thing! By the end of today we will have done 1814km thus far out of the 7865km journey. As I said I am looking forward to getting to Mongolia.

... musste. Selber habe ich es nicht geschafft, diese Tickets zu organisieren, mir wurde immer gesagt, dass es keine freien Plätze mehr gibt. Anscheinend gibt es da Agenturen, die alle Tickets sobald sie in den Verkauf kommen aufkaufen, um sie dann mit einem heftigen Aufschlag weiter zu verkaufen. Ich habe für 3 Tickets 15.400 Rubel gezahlt - am Bahnschalter hätten sie nicht mal 7.000 gekostet. Gut, aber das ist ja eigentlich eine andere Geschichte. Was ...

... Kaverimme Fen ja Du ovat kylla ihan mahtavia heppuleita. Hopottavat meille kiinaks jotain ja sit kattovat ihmeissaan, et ettekste nyt noin yksinkertaista asiaa tajua. Ne syo ihan helvetin paljon nuudelia. Syo ne kyl kaikkee ihmeellistakin kanan varpaista alkaen ja tarjoovat aina meillekkin. Ulkonaosta riippuen joko maistan tai en. Annika tietysti ei, jaa paitsi kurkkua. Huomaatteko miten jannaa. Syomista... Kirjoittelen kohan on jotain asiaa. Pistanpa kuvia nyt ainakin.

We only had 2 days in Perm, so we spent our time walking around the town, and checking out the sights as we came across them. The guide book was not very detailed when it came to Perm, so it was a case of finding things for ourselves. We found a beautiful little church, which we went inside of, only to come face to ...

... one of the family, Katia, would be our translator/guide on the 2 excursions we had booked!!!!!! In a city of a million people it really is a small world!! More updates as the computers and internet allow. Cheers Gordon P.S. Thanks to everyone for the birthday messages!! My actual birthday was a bit of a non event, the big treat was McDonalds for lunch & it was a real treat......that should sum up our current food situation...... Nat

... our carridge. He was from cambodia and was doing the whole train journey in one whole swoop, all 8 days on the train. He was a great guy, had all the time in the world for you. Once on the train we were soon joined by two men from Uzbekistan, who had the most amazing gold and silver teeth, the yonger of the two ( 26 ) took a real shine to merlin, and they sat together for up to 4 hours at a time teaching each other english and russian, he was a ...

... qualche fabbrichetta,... Ogni tanto vedevo qualche casetta semplice semplice di legno magari anche pitturata in mezzo a questi alberi gialli e rossi mi dispiaceva troppo non poter fermare il treno per scendere a fotografare. Verso sera siamo arrivati a Perm, adesso qui sono 4 ore avanti rispetto all orario svizzero. Qui si vede gia di piu la citta russa, sia come gente che come costruzioni, ormai non siamo piu ...

... occasion when Jamie, Julie and Bill crossed the tracks to the other platform to try and buy some vodka when suddenly another train pulled into the station alongside ours trapping them on the other side with our train due to leave at any moment. Luckily, panicking they managed to run around the front of the second train and back to ours. Unfortunately without the vodka.

... part, ils semblent ne porter aucune sorte d'attention au bien etre de leurs voisins. Chacun est libre de faire claquer les portes, d'essayer les sonneries de son portable, ou encore de laisser la lumiere ou la radio allumee... et cela ne semble deranger personne! Par contre, ils sont plutot discrets et parlent doucement. Je me rapelle d'ailleurs de mes premieres impressions a Moscou: je ...
