From reading other peoples blogs it seems that stuff always seems to happen in Russia and to a lot of solo travellers. I've been reading your blog for ages but your descriptions of the Russians, especially those behind a ticket window are exactly and I mean EXACTLY how I try to explain them to people when I talk about my time there. Also take them out of a ticket window and put them in a warm environment and they seem to melt like butter and feed you more than you would normally eat in a week but in one snack. But somewhere in between the ticket window and the warm place they all just seem to simply walk aroudn with a plastic bag in their hand and not say much at all to anyone around them but when they do it comes across as something not so nice. Always looking forward to your next blog buddy and one thing that makes me happy is that these are from the past so I know that you did survive your jounrey though crazy crazy strange Russia. I do believe that your blogs on Siberia will be full of warmth and being overfed! hahahahaha Beers N Noodles toya mate...shane Sheeeeeeeeezuz mate, your Trans Siberian journey is beginning to mirror the journey I took nine years ago.
