From Mongolia to Baikal

A very nice trip blog from JDmesh:

Great photography and nice humor too!

Part 1 Train from UB to Irkutsk
Part 2 Olkhon Island
Part 3 Swim in the lake (My favourite part)
Part 4 Circum-Baikal Railroad

iPad and cold weather

If you arrive to Irkutsk, Siberia in winter, be careful using your iPad outside. Yes there are some free public WiFi hotspots, but batteries are afraid of cold, so they run out faster than usual. Its better to have maps printed.
