Nick: Vova, I hear that you took the train across Russia.

Vova: Yes, I started in Moscow, travelled all through Russia and Mongolia, and ended up in China.

Nick: Wow! That's a long way!

Vova: Yes. It took three weeks. I did it as part of a tour with ten other people.

Nick: Cool! What was the landscape like?

Vova: A lot of it was flat and you could see that there was absolutely nothing for miles. As we got into Siberia there were scattered trees, and when we got into Mongol we could see some camels, but besides that there was next to nothing.

Nick: Wow! Wild camels! So how did you eat on this train?

Vova: We stopped several times at stations along the way and on every platform you could buy local food. Every train had hot water on it too, so you could always make noodles if you were desperate.

Nick: Wow! Would you do it again?

Vova: Great question! Yes, I would do it again, but I would wait several years to do it. There are so many other things to do and see.

Nick: OK. Thanks a lot.
