Da svi•da•ni•ya Moscow
We’re on the Trans-Siberian (Mongolian). First leg around 24hrs to Yekaterinburg ! The cabin and train are good – better than the last hostel just smaller. The rest of the trip will be on lesser trains. Our cabin buddy is a polite Russian guy. No English at all. I have exhausted my translation app (designed to ask things like ‘where is the toilet ?’) finding out that he is from Yekaterinberg and is a factory foreman. Time to catch up on some podcasts!
Already at the first stop. Dozens of people selling odd things (glassware and stuffed birds !?) have decended on the platform.
