25 10 2008 Through the window of the Trans-Siberian


After 32 hours of watching this peaceful datcha-dotted landscape, i'm ready for more. And i'll get it no later than tomorrow when i enter Mongolia. I will post some charming 32 hours videos later if anybody asks for it.

They re nice to keep you warm in winter, like supposing you forgot your winter jacket on a Polish bus, but they also show that cars above your head have a special status: they don t have to stop to let people cross the street.
