... paraitre il n'y a pas qu'un pas. Explication: ca a l'air simple un plan russe> Ca dit ''prends ce train, arrete toi la, appelle moi et j'arrive''. La pratique est legerement differente.

... who they had chatted to onboard. We ate and drank for quite a while and tried some dried squid that John had bought at the last platform stop. Miserable woman got off today too which lightened the mood a lot. Haiden and Tracey said that our carriage had a completely different feeling to their as nobody mingled or even had their coupe doors open most of the time. Me and Phil walked all the way to the end of the ...

... the day ahead! The purchasing of tickets for the various components of the Kremlin is a confusing, time-consuming process. Years of practice during the cold war has meant that the Russians have truly mastered the art of the queue. Ben and I however, having never stood in line for ration tickets or at soup kitchens, were unprepared for the rigours involved in obtaining a ticket to the Armoury.

I wouldn't plan to go back to St Petersburg becasue I am cocky enough to say I have seen all it has to offer. But as for Moscow, with all its faces - I think it is worth one more visit.

... even your sheep die ev**y day and ev**y hour due to your sickening British policies." Luckily our hostel has been like a waiting room for the trans-sib**ian train. As well as about 8 people preparing for a 5 day journey th**e is a *****ian football** recently signed for Lokomotive Moscow, a G**man who should be starting a Ab**deen univ**sity today but missed his flight, and an English student finishing a phD about some obscure ...

... stood, grabbed my arm and began to lead me to the cell in the corner. He got his keys out and motioned his hand towards the lock. By now I was about to wet myself. No one had any idea what had happed or where I was. I was going to be locked up in Russia and never allowed to leave. I was actually shaking! He then began to laugh and in English said 'you no show passport in three days being Russia'. F*%$! I almost had heart failure there on the spot. The bottles I found out later ...
