this is the amount of comfyness I expect on my next train trip

@johnfrum and shit ton of people with life stories, a lot of scenery you have never seen, (hopefully by then elon_musk_internet_services.wifi) and ofc the feeling of journey

Suppose, I like to get to destinations, the travel can be in a dark shell fired from a giant cannon for all I care

sure but if you aim for that its just easier to take the day and fly to beijing/moscow

but trans-siberia is all about the journey not the destination really

http://www.trans-siberian-travel.com/your-private-train/bolshoi-platinum i mean it costs fuckton

still can't believe it costs so much money to go from Antwerp to Amsterdam

how come that costs 52 euros and brussels to paris 20

Die Antwerp

@Tervy how many fucking visas do you have to apply for on that route

many

...

and im banned probly at least on one of them....

<:pepewot:589100642820161551> what'd you do

its a joke but i would not be suprised if theyd ever get a hold my work field or anything else related

this is why opsec matters :P

fuck my shit up

yeah I'll just fly scandinavian airlines again next year for 500 bucks

I KNOW

i told the prizes are fucking wonky

(and you can make it 25k journey if you want additional stuff :D

also it's a two week journey

vs 11 hours by plane

yep

including food, hotels, sight seeing tour guides etc

you can get "just the travel" cheaper from them too

what the fuck is there to sight see in the russian tundra lmao

I've seen the place from the airplane, there's nothing out there

in summer when siberia is around 10*c its lovable quite alive view

other agencies seem to be cheaper

yeah i linked that just to show the train carts

maybe $800 for a one way trip

cant be arsed to search for better pictures as i had the tab open

don't forget the multiple visas

china alone is 150 euros

but it's a pretty cool trip and definitely unique

@Kimichiboi around 1000 euros without the visas just for travel and food

still baffles me how some countries require visas

I mean c'mon I'm glorious European Union citizen

i've been meaning to go to hong kong next year but i'm probably just gonna go visit shanghai for the fourth time
