Siberia
The border crossing between Mongolia and Russia took forever and we didn't move for 12 hours. Pure craziness. We randomly saw a school fete in a tiny Russian border town with some school children singing some R-pop. Strange.
It's amazing how quickly it turned from Asia to Europe. I am in Irkutsk now and it already feels really European. After Japan, I want to go up to every whitey I see and ask them what they are doing here. Of course, they'd probably have no idea what I was saying to them.
I swam in Lake Baikal yesterday and had a Russian banyan for the first time. Tomorrow, am on the train for three nights. We have met two other people who we're travelling with and the random thing is that all four of us are in different compartments on the train tomorrow. Weird!

What's a banyan? I hope it's a food. Or a male escort.

Cinnacism - A banyan is like a sauna except... well, nothing. you wash at the same time although you never really get clean as you're sweating so much.
Not much longer on the course, hey Paul?
Have news for you, Chan.
Jo, I tried to go onto your blog but you've disappeared. Where is it?!?!?!
