29 hours on a Russian Train: Trans Siberian Express

[@Матьгородоврусских]

Hi, guys, you should have bought bread with the sausage, preferably black. It was fun watching you eat sausage without bread. :-) Good luck with your trip!

[@TripBitten]

We should have bought some bread, but we didn't think about it because we don't eat sausages like that very often. I wish we had good sausages here, but I have yet to find any...

[@Юлия-м1й1э]

Стыки на рельсах. Сейчас их по другой технологии кладут и слышно все меньше. Но память - смешная вещь. Даже недостатки вспоминаются с умилением.

Wow what a different train looks very old, we did first class and it was super fancy when whe travelled from Vladivostok to Moscow.

[@TripBitten]

Interesting to know! We booked our tickets though a Dutch company and they put us on these trains. We had a newer looking one later in the trip.

[@Moira1309]

Trip Bitten I booked through realrussia and you can choose and plan your own trip. It is like a train planner. I also did research on what trains there are available.

[@TripBitten]

We booked with a company called Tiara Tours and we could pick different things, but Yvon did all the planning..... Lol, sounds like you had a good time also and we loved our trip, it was great!

[@TripBitten]

Guess we missed the fancy ones, maybe next time if we have a chance to come back.

[@KVentz]

Yes, this car is quite old, perhaps it is one of the legendary East German Ammendorf cars from the Soviet era. The railway cars in Russia are replacing and upgrading constantly. For example, I saw different videos about train 001/002 'Rossiya' Moscow-Vladivostok from different years and I saw how the cars became newer and newer. From old Soviet cars to the brand new ones with the shower even in the third class. But there are about 19 thousand passenger railway cars, so it takes a lot of time and now it is possible to see very old cars from the USSR and the brand new ones even in a single train. Sad you can not see the production year of the car during booking process, but at least there are service icons on every car on the website. And you can see: if there is an AC and bio toilet in the car - this is not too old.

О черника из леса, супер💓blueberries from thr forest, that's very natural and healthy)

The blueberries were great!

[@IlyaRolf]

Колбаску кушают, как мороженое))) Надо ножичек при себе иметь, чтобы порезать. Удачи в путешествии этой интересной паре по нашей огромной России.

[@marchelomastrojani9366]

Проводники обязаны выдавать столовые принадлежности. И как правило, проблем с этим не бывает.

[@TripBitten]

Haha yes, we didn't have a knife on the train so we just ate it! But, it was still very good. We were impressed with the Russian sausages.

[@АлександрИванов-х4с4ъ]

Всегда поправляю. НАрезать, а не ПОрезать. Порезать можно человека, себя. То есть просто сделать порез. А колбасу нарезают.

[@IlyaRolf]

@@АлександрИванов-х4с4ъ а зря поправляете. Мы здесь все в домашних шлепанцах ходим, по-простому. А не романы пишем. К тому же, вы, может, не знаете, что как раз один из синонимов слова порезать - это разрезать. Разрезать на части. Что полностью применимо к еде.

[@АлександрИванов-х4с4ъ]

@@IlyaRolf дело не в романах, а в уважении к собственному языку. Вы в магазине что покупаете? Нарезку или порезку? Или может быть разрезку?

[@kleo573]

Anyway, if u got an old train it is nice experience to travel, I love trains becourse can watch the nature all the time, hope u have enjoyed your trip😊

[@TripBitten]

Yes, we loved traveling by train in Russia. It was great to see the nature.

[@SunWindWater_girl]

You are so nice and pleasant to listen to and watch.

[@TripBitten]

Thank you! :)

[@nicolassarkozy816]

*Why did you buy tickets for the old train, which is already 30-40 years old? Have you decided to save? In Russia there are new trains with good wagons. But tickets cost more ...*

[@TripBitten]

We booked with a tour company, because we thought they would get us the best tickets/deal. We still really enjoyed our trip, even if it was an older train. Some of the other trains we took later in the trip were nicer. :)

@@TripBitten Back in Soviet Union days when there was no food service on a train most passengers would bring a standard food set with them. It contained of a whole fried chicken, hard boiled eggs and some salt packed in a match box. When the train starts moving everyone would take out that set and eat it. Most people don't do that anymore but it became kind of funny cultural staple. If you ride a train you have to bring that food set with you. That is what he is referring to in his comment.

12:26 Druzhinino station near Yekaterinburg, 1 hour by car

[@xalekcey]

Very cool! But you made two mistakes :) You should have visited the city of Kazan (which is on your way) and you took a ticket for the old train. I hope in the future you will correct these errors!) Kazan is magnificent (the fusion of two cultures - Islam and Christianity). The new trains are much more comfortable.

[@TripBitten]

We only had a limited time for our summer vacation, but would have love to stop in more cities. For the tickets, not sure what you mean the old train? We had help booking the tickets, so didn't know we could have changed it. Maybe next time we will better prepare. :)

[@FKNomad]

@@TripBitten there are modern trains now used by Russian Railways, you had a trip on the old soviet styled vagons, but i think it doesn't matter, cause you could feel yourself as a soviet citizens and i'm really glad for you. By the way, tickets are cheaper for this one, 2 class, there is 3 class called "platzkart" is more cheaper, but it could be too harsh for you

[@Moira1309]

Trip Bitten yes I was reading the comment from the other person you where in a old an slower train.there is train 001 is new and better beds and with airco and wifi on board.

[@TripBitten]

@Саша Левин Yea, the older trains had a nice feel to it, like it was experiencing different and going back in time a little. Overall, we thought the trains were fine and really fun. This was one of our best trips so far! :)

[@TripBitten]

@Moira1309 I'm sure the newer trains would have been more comfortable, but we didn't want wifi and all the modern comforts. I'm glad we didn't end up on the newer trains, we wouldn't have read has much or felt disconnected. Sometimes the internet and modern tech can be a little overwhelming and a simple book can relax the mind (or playing simple games).

стакан черники купила. эта ягода полезна, для глаз. :) черника, улучшает зрительную функцию, обновляет сетчатку глаза, улучшает глазное кровообращение. устраняет сухость глаз, сохраняет ясность зрения ночью. у нас продаются витамины с черникой. :)

The berries were very good! :)

I and my friend were supposed to take this trip last year. but he changed his mind. i am not sure if I will ever do it as i don't really want to do such a long trip by myself. take care.

[@TripBitten]

Yes, I don't think either of us would have done it on our own. But, if you get the chance in the future to go with a friend or group, you should do it.

it’s customary with us to take food for a long journey by train, it’s cheaper. In the restaurant car, expensive food and not quite wholesome.
