Damn it, my camera just went dead. I would have uploaded more picture, but maybe another time, because I am right now paying Internet by the minute.

So in St. Petersburg all I did was to visit Hermitage and chasing the migration card. After two days, I left for Moscow, where I lived at a hostel just beside Arbat Street, the famous walking street in Moscow known for its artieri and creative atmosphere, I think. At the hostel I met unbelievly loads of peple. For exemple, there is one guy that only ate algers and pollen for food, his stomach has shrank to the size of a pinpong boll over the past 15 years but lives otherwise just as a normal person. Then we have another that has camped everywhere the past 3 years, he just wanted to get out of Russia the first the in Moscow to camp in Latvia. The creepest guy I met so far is a one in St. Petersburg. He really really believed himself to be the Messiah and go around uniting people in contries of conflict. How? Just by his mere presence, sadly he just sometimes have enough money for the Visas.

Metro, Moscow. Full of statues, russian people really take care of public places.
took the train from Moscow to Irkutsk on the third in Moscow. It took 3days and 4nights to get here. It is really uncomfortable not being to take a shower, but it was worth it, since I met some cool people on the train.

So now I'm in Irkutsk, a town near the border of Mongolia just to get my mongolian Visa. Tomorrow I'm going to Lake Baikal to is said to be the deepest lake in the world and one day will divided this continent into two.

Now I just feel my wallet shrink in my pocket, or maybe it was something else. Gotta go.
