Did you say Kopeck?

Quick update.

I am currently in Irkustk, Russia (southern siberia). Spent the last day near Lake Baikal staying with a russian family that spoke no english. My russian is getting better, but it was tough. Pretty amazing place though.

Off on a 49hr train ride this evening.

If anyone wants to compare horror stories of border crossings, i can throw mine in the mix. I am sure you can only imagine trying to cross into Siberia by train. Lovely.

Not going to miss mongolia. glad i went, but i can pretty much assure you i won't be going back, makes Cambodia look like Disneyland.

Dasvidanya.
