This month I have travelled from Japan to Germany by surface transportations, without flights. Most of the time I was on the train in Russia. It was the Trans-Sieberian railway that I had been eager to take since I read a picture book in my childhood. It takes a week from Vladivostok to Moscow with a direct train. In addition, if you get across the sea of Japan by ferry, it takes 2 nights. As I hopped on and off the train at the several stations on the journey, it took 24 days from Tokyo to Goettingen. It would be impossible for Japanese workers to take the journey. A 2 months interval between work and study let me take the journey. I have met lots of nice locals and travellers. It is no doubt that they made my journey amazing and impressive. It was the most amazing journey I have ever taken. I would like to take the Trans-Siberian route again. The experience is by far affluent than a flight. It is worth trying the journey if you like travelling or trains.
