What was the Trans-Siberian Railway like?
It was a long ride, 27 hours! My sleeper was pretty basic, but I met some interesting people. It was hot though, the air conditioning wasn't great.
What was the most memorable part of your trip?
Probably the kindness of the people I met, especially the shopkeeper in Blagoveshchensk who gave me fruit and chatted with me, even though we used Google Translate!
