One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent the summer of 2003 exploring Siberia and Central Russia. I started by taking a ferry from Sakhalin Island to the Russian Mainland and then went by train from Vanino to Khabarovsk to Irkutsk, Lake Baikal, Novosibirsk, Moscow and Voronezh and back to Sakhalin. I had already visited Vladivostok a month before that trip.
