I think this was one of my favourite videos you've made. I like my own space, so the thought of sharing a cabin with a complete stranger, who sounds like he could be very inappropriate, would be my worst nightmare, but Julia was very philosophical about it. However, you must've been both physically and emotionally drained, so thank goodness you had that wonderful reunion with your gran, who i think is amazing. I hope we see more of Lera in the future as well, as she's so sweet and looks like good fun.

Another informative and interesting program even with your talkative cabin mate. I kept asking myself, "why didn't they purchase the 4th bed"? Thanks for telling us you considered it but unfortunately you took the chance of either having it unoccupied or having a pleasant (or awful)cabin mate. I watched a couple who traveled from Moscow to Vladivostok in Second Class but they paid for the other two beds in order to have some privacy. It still was a stressful trip for them. They didn't speak or read Russian and that was an added difficulty for them. I promise you that in the years to come you will see the humor in this "adventure". Julia, it was so wonderful that your sister was able to travel with you. Maybe someday you can have your brother and Grandma accompany you on one of your journeys. Take care. 🫂❤️🙏🕊

Krasnoyarsk---where Дмитрий Хворостовский (Dmitri Hvorostovsky) was born and raised! IMHO, one of the greatest lyric baritones ever, gone far too soon (in 2017 at age 55), revered worldwide for his opera performances and beloved for his renditions of Russian folk tunes ("The Cranes"). He will never be forgotten!

We had an experience (nowhere near as bad as yours) when travelling on the Darjeeling Mail overnight sleeper between Kolkata and Siliguri, West Bengal. Like you, there were three of us in a 4 berth AC1 cabin. The fourth member turned out to be a young Bengali guy and he was a nice guy, BUT his phone alarm started to go off at 4am and it kept going every 10 minutes! Trouble is, he was a really deep sleeper and even our attempts to wake him only worked once. His sleepy attempt to switch it off didn't work as it started again within 10 minutes 😂 We thought about booking the fourth berth for future journeys, but apparently there is such a demand that if nobody checks in against that seat, it will be released. I'm not sure if that's correct though. Either way, I don't know how you put up with that for so long!! Kudos to you. Great video and actually the "issues" added to the entertainment value (sorry! 😂)

My Dad was one of those people who would tell the same tall stories to anyone who would listen (and anyone who wouldn't!). I rarely had meaningful conversations with him and he would often take over a social situation. But he's been gone 4 years, and I miss him despite his annoying ways. He meant well and I can't show him anything to make him laugh now.

Came across this channel by chance. Great to see. But I'm wondering what the backstory is of the main players. Matt seems to be native British English. Grandma at the end is it seems Russian, but is she grandma to the 2 girls ? Girl number 1 ("Julia"?) speaks great English but sometimes odd word choices and that. (Like "Restaurant Wagon" instead of "Dining Car"). Yet they all speak fluent Russian and perhaps German also was mentioned. Please for a channel-Newbie can someone give me a quick run-down of what I've missed so far ! Sometime in future, when the world is a peaceful place again, I would love to do the Trans Siberian Train journey. cheerio from The Southern Hemisphere !

Right from when I was young I always wanted to do the trans Siberian railroad trip . Won’t ever do it now so thanks for sharing. Can’t imagine though being trapped with someone like that on your trip. The stuff of nightmares. 😢

@10:19 TWENTY HOUR DELAY AT ONE STATION!!!! uuuugggg!!!! 🤮 @14:31 Julia, at least there you are moving.... not what you were doing (stuck) at the 10:19 spot. I would have been going nuts there, not while moving. haha.... @23:13 So Matt, 5 days to travel across the half of the country. So how long would coast to coast Russia by rail take, really 10 days? Yes, thank you for publishing this video.

your family is lovely... You guys seemed like you were very nice to the 4th person neighbor. It seems it would be awkward to be a solo wth a family of 3 or a family of 3 with one solo in such a small space. I think I'd almost perfer the 3rd class unless we had the entire closed room alone or the 1st class... if it was just me and a travel partner. I've shared hostels with other gals numerous times.. but I mean it was just a bunch of random (normal) college girls, solo travelers, or backpackers approx my age or so... but a weird guy who smells farts to share with would feel weird LOL im happy you shared this experience these things you will laugh at for many years to come.

I would love to travel that Country and the Trans Siberian stretch. I should they’ve mastered any discomforts for travelling public.
