For Siberianmo- <br /> <br />Be glad that you have not been to Siberia. I am a VP of an international oil and gas consulting firm that currently derives about 1/3 of our revenue from Russia. Going there is not fun. A ten hour flight to London, then 6 hours to Moscow. Eight hours on the ground in Moscow then 10 hours to Nowhere Siberia. As they say oil and gas is found in the A _ _ holes of creation and Siberia is no exception. On a good day the food is terrible and it goes downhill from there rapidly. With l;uck you might have hot water for a shower. It is bitterly cold in winter and in the summer the mosquitos can carry off a small child or dog. (Chain your husky down!) Fortunately being one of the most senior people in our company I can pick and choose. I specialize in European operations. After all going to London is far more fun than going to Lenin Square. Lots of good stories of train travel in the UK and Europe. Perhaps if I have time I will start a thread on them sometime. <br /> <br />Has anyone gone to Churchill on the train? We are thinking of flying to Halifax and taking the train to Vancouver with a detour to Churchill. The polar bears au natural are far better than the zoo variety. Looking forward to some feeds on the Churchill line. <br /> <br />***
