Trans-Siberian

My mom just sent me the Lonely Planet's trans-Siberian guide, as part of an extended birthday present.

First thought: Man, this is going to be more expensive than I thought. Russia is *way* pricier than China.

Second thought: Damn. Cool stuff.

Third thought: 30 day automatic stay in Mongolia for US citizens? hmmm....

So I'm pretty jazzed, yeah.

How are you?

Now, now. The Mongolians didn't have gulags. Gulag is a Russian word. And we all know that the Mongolian state has never had anything to do with Russia ever, right? ;-)
