Some recent 'observations from the rail'

They are many and so require their own page. received June 2004
The train trip
from Mongolia to Irkutsk (Russia) was interesting. Our cabin mates were 2 Mongolian fellows in their 40's, one who spoke reasonable English and enjoyed a good laugh.... also the whole leg of lamb he brought in his rucksack made our 'pot noodles' look pretty ordinary.
On our last night in Irkutsk I brought out the football, and had a game with some local kids. They were fascinated, and one boy was quite skilful, he was kicking drop-punts and handballing like he had done it all his life.... I'm just a great teacher! Later a drunken Russian man came up to us, rambled on for a few minutes then asked for my autograph, gave us both a hug and left! He must have thought I was Wayne Carey!! - Ed note An Australian football personality
Russia has certainly learnt how to monopolise the tourist dollar.... all it needs to do now is improve its PR skills by about 3000%. The people did their best to avoid helping us.... and the sour-faced women working most attractions (Ed notes - as ticket sales and 'room guards') was so bad it was funny. We kept smiling at them... but we couldn't crack 'em!
