Living the Russian Stereotype
In this episode, we visit Novosibirsk and Yekaterinburg on the Trans Siberian Railway. Most of this Russia travel vlog is spent in the Ural Mountains, the barrier between Western Russia, and Siberia. We join with TOCHKA 4x4 a local adventure group for some serious off roading. While we realize that happened next is not an accurate depiction of everyday Russia, we were surprised with some traditional music, and guns. We were offered the opportunity my birthday by firing off a few rounds in the forest, we had never done this before. Though, I admit we wanted to. This small part of Russian culture is definitely the Russian stereotype, and it was a lot of fun to join the locals celebrating this way for a night. Next we met a group of pagans living simply in the forest. Here, we helped them create trinkets with molten metal, another first for me. Lastly we were invited to dinner at the house of a Russian Oligarch (Who had a tank in his front yard), and drank vodka while being served some incredible Russian Food. A bit of a background story. This is a train journey of 10,000 km across Russia, the biggest country in the world. 25 days to visit Saint Petersburg, Moscow, Kazan, Yekaterinburg, Krasnoyarsk, Ulan-Ude, and Vladivostok.
