nothing can prepare you for a 15 hour train ride...except alcohol

To endure the 15 hours you'll need lots of these! eat some Pringles drink some Baltica's...life is good!!!! okay, those little green Heineken's are tastier but these work too!

Yep, Baltica has always helped :). What I clearly remember is expats running to get Baltica at every stop/station - seems like they missed it while in Chayvo!

i remember getting off the train at the long stop with Anatoli and Andre to buy some beer and we got locked off the train.So from then on we stocked up in Nogliki at the grocery store! At the end of 6 weeks some of the expats were DYING for a cold Baltica, even a WARM Baltica!!:)

LOL. And what's the end of the story when you got locked off the train? How did you get to Yuzhno?

we knocked on the door and tapped on the closest windows and the lady who managed that section of the train came and opened the door just as the train was ready to leave. So we didn't have to walk to Yuzhno! :-) and we had more beer!
