I did not complete the Trans Siberian Railway trip
Me too. that is not a dream, but would be a super cool thing and life experience. I know that David Bowie did it, in late 70-es or maybe early 80-es (as a private person), I dont remember exactly the year... It is not even that hard / impossible / money consuming for a Russian citizen, who has a moderate salary paychecks.
One year ago I stumbled upon a very funny book (tho I doubt it has an EN translation). The title is 'Mishaherisada' by Michael Veller. It is a very cool supposed to be biographical but probably not at all, not sure what % of it is pure fiction ;) but the plot is: young Russian student back in the soviet epoch, late 1960-es, made a bet with friends that during the summer holidays he would travel from St. Petersburg to Kamchatka peninsula (look where it is on the USSR map!) - completely free of charge, without spending money. AND HE DID IT!!! It’s extremely pleasant reading... even if the story is not 100% true. Of course, it’s completely impossible to repeat it now - another time, another era...
