Ride The Cold Train

December 15, 2005 at 9:39 AM | by markj | 0 Comments

It is damn cold here in the Northeast, but just think, you could be in Siberia.

If you are in Siberia, then you probably know all about the Trans-Siberian train, which runs from Bejing to Moscow.

Who rides the cold train? Families, couples, students, and army folk.

What do folks do between Novosibirsk and Irkutsk (and other remote Siberian towns)?:

Some guests get too drunk and want to sleep where they are. The 'Provodnik' comes and brings them to their berth. Men wear slippers, and snore. Intimacy is shared with everybody, and couples sometimes find it hard to share it together. If they have the chance to be in the same compartment with friends, they send them outside in the corridor with a book and a glass of trans-siberian tea while they enjoy privacy for some time.
