I can never understand people who are keen on food and travel, because there is no food that must be eaten, and there is no scenic spot that must be visited ... at least I think so.

I don't hate traveling so much as I have no feeling about it. Essentially lazy. It's not that I'm too lazy to travel, but that I'm too lazy to make travel plans and even think, "Where do you want to travel?" The problem itself.

But I am lucky enough to have a friend who is extremely keen on traveling. He will actively think about where to go, how to get there, how to make a strategy, how to arrange the schedule, etc., and I just need to be a "follower" easily.

The friends started this trip, and they were given the destination, itinerary, booking hotel tickets and so on. They will discuss it in the group, and I am in it, but I have set the message Do Not Disturb and will not express any opinions. In this respect, I am in the state of "dialing and moving" in Shanghai dialect, and I will do whatever I want. I prepared a photo of the visa and a copy of my ID card as required, and then all the visa, ticket and air ticket fees were transferred to the person in charge with Alipay, basically without any trouble.

I didn't intend to exchange rubles originally, because I felt it was troublesome, so I felt that I would just use a credit card. But it is safer to take advice and use cash to prevent people from swiping their cards. So I decided to exchange 4, rubles. Considering that the bank may only give large bills (5, rubles each), it is inconvenient to use.

I chose ICBC at the school gate. I think there are many international students in the school, so it is estimated that this branch should be good at foreign currency exchange business. First, you need to fill in the reservation form, indicating the collection time (usually three days later), currency and amount. When filling in, I found that there is a column that can make specific requirements for denomination. I wrote it with a try: 4, rubles (4 pieces of 1, rubles).

On the appointment date, according to the instructions, I knew that I could buy foreign exchange through the automatic service terminal now. It was very convenient to try it, and then I took the purchase receipt to the counter to collect rubles. Sure enough, I was given 4 pieces of 1, rubles.

On August 2nd, I got a passport to get a good visa. This is only my fourth trip abroad. The whole trip takes about 1 days. I plan to bring several sets of clothes and toiletries, but I can't think of anything special. For electronic equipment, I will wear a Macbook, a mobile phone, a Kindle and a charging treasure, and two adapter sockets. A backpack and a suitcase are probably enough.

The official departure date was noon on August 9th, and I bought a sleeper on the evening of August 8th. The new sleeper motor train has two bunks, one upper berth and one lower berth. Each berth has a separate small table and power supply, and each berth is relatively independent, which makes me feel better than the soft berth with four people in the past. But the length of the berth is naturally a little short compared with mine.

pass Tianjin west railway station at 6 am. It was learned that an earthquake of magnitude 7. occurred in Jiuzhaigou County last night. Arrive at Beijing West Railway Station at 7: 7 sharp. After that, I arrived at the round point, McDonald in front of Beijing Railway Station, sitting on the second floor, watching the people constantly leaving the station. I entered the Beijing Railway Station around 1 o'clock and learned astrolabe astrology which formed a certain theoretical system.

Check in at 11 o'clock, K3 train, a feeling of an old train. It is very common that it rains for a while and clears up for a while along the way

I arrived at Jining South Station around 5 pm and changed a locomotive. At about 19: 4, I arrived in Zhu Rihe, stopped and moved on.

at about 21: 45, I arrived in Erenhot, submitted my passport and left the country. The train from Beijing to Erlian was removed from the middle and reassembled. The overall journey is slower than the timetable.

depart from Erlian at 1 am, go to Zamenud and enter Mongolia. Reassemble the carriage, return the passport around 3 o'clock, and finally sleep in peace.

I got up at about 8: 3, stopped at Joil at 1: 3, and got off with my companions. There were vendors selling mutton buns at the station, with RMB 5 in 1 yuan. At noon, I went to the Mongolian dining car. Because I didn't bring Mongolian currency, I paid for my lunch in RMB at the ratio of 1 to 2. In the afternoon, I went to Ulaanbaatar to exchange it at 1: 36. Out of Mongolia at night.

I learned a poker game called "Planing" and werewolf killing ...

I arrived in Naushd around o'clock and entered Russia. The Russian customs clearance equipment is more advanced than that of Mongolia, and the entry inspection can be completed directly on the train. The train inspection is stricter than that in Mongolia, and a Labrador dog is brought. Continue to leave around 2 am. Get up at 8 o'clock, and the train starts to travel along Lake Baikal, and the temperature difference between the sunny side and the cloudy side is obvious. Going to the Russian dining car at 11 o'clock is the best meal, and the fish soup tastes good.

We will arrive in Slyujianka at around 14: 3 ...

We will arrive in Irkutsk at around 15: 3, get on the bus and go to the accommodation. After we put down our things, we will go to the post office to buy postcards and stamps. After coming back, I ate with the big army and entered a restaurant along Karl Marx Street in the center of the city. Russian waiters generally lack English ability, so it is very difficult to communicate in English. A meal for 11 people is 642 rubles, which is relatively cheap. My personal meal is 47 rubles.

After eating, I went shopping in the supermarket on the way back to my residence. After meeting my residence, I sent a circle of friends and wrote postcards. Go to sleep.

I got up at 6 o'clock and had some breakfast. Their yogurt tastes special, which may not be acceptable to China people. Naturally, it doesn't matter to me. In fact, it is a kind of smelly cheese. (I didn't know Russian, so I bought it after I saw the sign of Bio Max)

At 6: 5, I gathered for Irkutsk station. When something happened after getting on the bus, the Russians somehow changed the car number, which made the tourists who had been seated correctly (all of them were from China) change their cars. Based on the Ah Q mentality of being glad that they didn't drive us off the bus, the tourists naturally had to be patient.

at 1: 3, I returned to Sliujiangka and replaced it with a steam locomotive.

at about 11: 15, I stopped at a stop and went to a place similar to a farmhouse. It is said that the train staff provided a free lunch for the carriage in order to express their apologies for changing the carriage. Cabbage soup, vegetables, bread, fish and rice.

moving on at 11: 45, it should have been a psychological balance. However, after the train started, someone in the tour group in the same carriage found that the bag had been left behind, and there were four passports in it.

What a chaotic morning ...

At 12: 45, the train stopped for 3 minutes at the No.18 tunnel of the railway around Lake Baikal.

At 13: 45, the train stops at Marilto Railway Station, 19km around Lake Baikal, for 3 minutes. There are some unknown plants along the road, among which there are thorns. After touching them, they will have a tingling sensation, and the skin will swell up a few small bags. After 1 minutes left, the tingling sensation will subside.

at 15 o'clock, you will arrive at 11km of the railway around Lake Baikal, and get off at 15: 45 and walk for a while to 12km. At 16: 45, it arrived at the 98 km railway around Lake Baikal. Arrive at Baikal port at 19: , and there is a military equipment exhibition hall nearby. After paying 1 rubles, you can touch weapons, mainly some cold weapons (swords) and hot weapons (firearms).

We took the second ferry to Listvyanka, and a China tourist had an argument with the staff to catch the first ferry.

I got on the ferry at 19: 45 and arrived at the scheduled residence at 2: . The real trouble finally came to us:

We suddenly found that the previous order had been cancelled, probably because the landlord sold the room to someone else at a high price. Because we can't stay, and there are no rooms in the surrounding hotels, we can only turn to the local people who help us arrange cars and send a car to take us back to Iraq.

we waited until two o'clock in the morning, because it was difficult to find a car at night, and the first dispatched car had an accident halfway. During the period, we all spent time in the lobby of a small Hotel. Because there were elderly people in our company, we were really anxious, and we were deeply dissatisfied with the huge profits that the previous car booking people might earn.

during this period, we revised our plan and decided to move to another residence on the 13th.

Take a bus from Listvyanka to Iraq at 2: a.m., go to bed and check out at 12: . I went to the nearby Kazan church, looked for a car after that, and found an English-speaking person in an auto parts shop for help. Then I booked a car and went to the outskirts of Iraq, where I had booked a hotel in the early morning. While waiting for the bus to arrive, another group of people went to the supermarket to buy some food and prepared to make their own food there.

I found a car at about two o'clock in the afternoon. The driver's name is Alex, and he drove to the outskirts of Iraq. After arriving, he decided to continue to use Alex's car tomorrow. Because I didn't go to breakfast in the morning, I felt a little hypoglycemia, and I felt a little better after eating an instant noodle.

In the evening, I strolled around the Angara River near the hotel. In the evening, the team leaders negotiated with the previous car booking person, and the other party agreed to refund ￥ 2,.

I took Alex's car to Listvyanka at 1 o'clock, and the weather was cold. I went to the Baikal Museum near Listvyanka, visited a circle, and then had lunch at the fish market, where I bought some souvenirs after dinner.

In the afternoon, I drove to Tallez Wooden House Museum, because it was cold in rainy days. A colleague with a camera entrusted me to take pictures, so I patted it casually.

after the visit, return to Irkutsk by bus. Where I lived on the first day. I threw out the postcards I wrote on the first day in the evening.

I took the bus around 9: , because there were other people on the bus, and then I made a few detours in Irkutsk, and I dropped people off at a market-like place, and then we went to Orhon Island.

At about 12 o'clock, I stopped at a post station on the way. At 15 o'clock, I took a ferry to Orhon Island. The road on the island was very bumpy, and I arrived in Hurrir at about 17 o'clock and checked into a hotel. Then I wandered around the post office in Huzir town and nearby. Go back to the hotel for dinner at 19: .

Because the charging interface of the mobile phone is not lost, there are not many photos taken in the next two days ...

Breakfast at the hotel at 9 o'clock. At 1 o'clock, take the local bus and take the northern line, which is bumpy all the way. Stop at the scenic spots along the way to watch and take photos, and arrive at a picnic spot at 12 noon. The driver chopped wood and lit a fire, cooked fish soup, cold tomatoes and cucumbers, bread and chocolate biscuits, and made up a lunch. Then drive to the northernmost fjord of Austria Island.

go home at 15: 3 and return to your residence around 17: . Then go to the location of the shaman stone in Hurrir, which is said to be an energy concentration place of shamanism.

As usual, we started at 9: and 1: , took the southeast line of the island, stopped at several scenic spots, and stopped at a lake bay for dinner. The content was the same as yesterday. We took out mustard tuber to entertain the Russian driver. In the case of the first bite of unknown so, the Russian driver ate several pieces of mustard tuber with bread, which is estimated to be in love.

after lunch, I went back and stopped at a scenic spot. The water quality was not good. Return to the residence at 15: 3. Then everyone is free to move.

breakfast at 9 am and get on the bus at 9: 3. We stopped at the station for dinner at 12 o'clock, and then rushed back to Iraq all the way. Basically, everyone slept and slept in the car. Arrive at our last hostel around 15: 3. I went to the so-called 13 amorous feelings street, entered a shopping mall, and the girls in the same trade started the shopping mode. I listened to their suggestions and bought some along with them, ready to give them away when I returned to Shanghai.

In the evening, we had dinner in a restaurant near the shopping mall, with accordions and singers as entertainment. After dinner, stop at the mall. That night, the two of them took the train to Ulan-Ude.

I bought the charging conversion interface in the store, so the mobile phone was saved.

The weather is rather gloomy, so I went to the shopping mall last night to continue to satisfy their shopping desire. At noon, the other two went to the airport to return to Beijing.

Then take a bus north to the bank of angara, cross the Arc de Triomphe, then pass the statue of the pioneer, pass three churches and come to the government square.

After lunch, go to Karl Marx Street, and make up for the shopping. I was going to wait for the 84 bus to return to my residence, and then I didn't arrive, and I didn't get a taxi. So I decided to get on a familiar No.8 bus first, found that the direction was reversed, and then got off at once, and then got on the No.7 tram on the opposite side, and finally headed in the right direction.

arrive at the hotel at 16: , go to the nearby supermarket to buy candy, and go to the airport at 16: 3. The airport is very small, and the Russians have no concept of tax refund at all.

It took off at 18: 45 and landed in Pudong, Shanghai at 22: 5.

get home around 1: 1. The biggest experience of this trip to Russia is that it is best for the peers to have Russian speakers.
