clean living Hi Becky, keep the pictures and blogs coming- we'll enjoy looking back at these later... glad you and chrissy are watching each others back
Outrageous Goodness You are as intrepid as you are beautiful, but above all, I'm captured by the ease & clarity with which you write. What a stunning gift to be able to follow your journey while sitting calmly in a chair with a dog and a cup or coffee. Thanks to you rebdavina!!
Well, since you are in SE Asia...you\'re so close to Korea/Japan!
If you guys could swing it, Autumn in Japan is so beautiful. (Middle of nowhere Japan/Kyoto/Takayama....)
Your trip has truly turned into an adventure though! How thrilling!
Hoping everything continues to fall into place... :)
it was really really excited! i have to tell that i am not so tiny,wahahahaha.
Pat was really strong man and tought me new life experience.
Dr Mike is very kind-hearted man and i never forget his
Becky is so pretty and helpful woman.
i missed this time that i spent with these duys.
after i met them i realized that nice people exist everywhere in this world
thanks thank you for your comments - i apologize for the mistakes and if i offended anyone. subservient was maybe a poor choice of words - this was pointed out to me by a mongolian who pointed out that mongolia was referred to as "russia's little brother" during the communist era. thanks again.
Thanks First, thank you for the traveling my country and actually sharing it with the rest of us.
However, I would like to correct a few mistakes which are natural. Just so that you know bout it.
The train doesn't change the carriages between Russian and Mongolian border. They are the same. It is the Sino-Mongolian border that have different rail gauges. The delay is due to heavy and bureaucratic border regulations on Russian and Mongolian borders. As a Mongolian I should say that the Russian border is double the time :) Next, on the Russian artwork, it isn't a subservient Mongolian standing behind the Russians. It is a war memorial and the person behind the soldier and woman is an elderly Russian. If you see the other Mongolians depicted in that large artwork, they are all in Mongolian traditional clothes.
Wish you luck with your stay in my country.
Beck, I've loved reading your blog! Thank you for sharing your adventure. Makes me reminisce about our college travels ...wish I could be doing some of it with you! Also I like hearing your take on Poland and Russia. Jeff and I had a saying in Warsaw when we got back from an errand without success - we said we got "nie ma'd" - nie mas means "don't have it" - and that's where the conversation stopped. No suggestion for further information, like the store down the street has it, or if you come back tomorrow we'll have it. I know exactly what you mean about the blank stares and it wasn't personal for sure. I'm sure you're in for lots of different and more outgoing cultures to come. Have fun in Mongolia in a few days! Love you, Tania
your boyfriend is a lucky guy! hi lovely lady,
thanks for the compliment, i almost feel sorry for all those crushed admirers- I also know the overpowering attraction you command! train sounds interesting, adventurous, and exhausting. glad you got out for a run- need to get some exercise myself... after sleep though. by the way, does everybody get to read my comments here, or just you?
can hardly wait to see you, but I don't really have any choice. saturday morning 6am at the UB train station will be early, but not early enough for me... hugs and kisses
Moscow, Russia Hey Girl,
It sounds like it was a crazy day for you. If anything, you can now say that you have experienced life there. I could never imagine that Moscow would be a friendly place for tourist but it sure is beautiful there. I love all of the pics.
trans-siberian bound! dear becky, sounds like your departure couldn't be a day to soon, but with time the unpleasant memories fade, and you have the images and memories including your cool blog entries to look back on. I hope the train is a blast, or mellow, or both- but don't you dare miss it like in the movie!!! talk to you soon-

Hello there from Flag! Hey Little Sister....I am so enjoying following your amazing adventures! We were on the patio with Nolan yesterday and missing your presence... Stay in touch, ok?
Krakow, Poland Hey Becky...thanks for posting everything that you have been...what a great experience! You & your niece look like you had so much fun! These pics...wow...my stomach is sick...you are right they need to be shared...would never even have thought of human hair and the one with human skin...thinking of you and have continued safe travels!
So much history in these pics Hey Becky,
Thanks for the pictures. They are amazing. I can only imagine what it was like to walk through the museum. I probably would have cried too.
I am heading out this April to begin my journey. First will arrive in Poland and spend a bit of time there with my dad and niece. The plan is to then make my way to Moscow and ride the longest railway in the world - the Trans-Siberian Railway to Mongolia to meet up with my sweet friend Pat and experience pristine mountains and rivers with him - check out his cool website regarding river rafting in Mongolia www.mongoliariveradventures.com - then to India, and continue further south through Southeast Asia. I'm excited, overwhelmed, nervous - can't believe it's happening! I'm new to the world... full info
