MOST people on the train were locals travelling from one of the small Siberian cities to another. Stopping in Omsk in mid morning and Yekaterinburg in the evening saw a lot of people coming and going. Two of the people in my carriage left at Omsk to be replaced with two rail workers who got off in a small town in the late afternoon. During the half hour stop at Omsk an old Russian man still wearing his pyjamas asked me to take a picture of him on his old iphone. Then he took this picture. The lady in my cabin had travelled from Ulan-Ude several hours before Urkutsk. She was heading across to Moscow to see her daughter attending university. Her son was studying in the US and had just seen the Statue of Liberty today. Although half a world away, he was our interpreter where needed. Blogs from today: |
