We get on the train to discover we are not sharing with a couple of drunk Russians but two girls from Blighty Ashley and Dora. And A HA next door is a Swedish non couple Viktor and Johanna.We appear to be the tourist carriage and account for all the people in our carriage.I could go through day by day but that would bore you to tears. So basically what happens when your on a train for five days is.....
1) you eat a lot of noodles (hot water is the only free thing on the train and the only way to make food)
2) you drink a lot of tea and coffee
3) you attempt to learn Mongolian
4) you drink lots of vodka
5) you bang your head on the taps when washing your hair or the wall when the driver conducts an emergency stop.
6) you get excited when the train stops wrap up in 20 layers and hop off to see yet another station that looks pretty similar to the one before....although some have dumplings!!!
7) you realise Russians love to try and rip you off
8) Happy feet is loved by all Europeans
9) -18 is officially snot freezing temperature
10) Crossing a border is good!
