They Eat... Omsk (Russia)
We have no idea why we decided to stop in Omsk. We also have no idea why we chose to stop there for less than 24 hours. We arrived at 5:00PM and left the next day at 2:00PM. It was an adventure and we do not regret it.
They Learn... Robben Island
A UNESCO World Heritage site most famous for being the location which imprisoned Nelson Mandela for 18 years before the fall of apartheid.
They Eat... Krasnoyarsk (Russia)
The wikitravel page for this city frightened me with its descriptive “stay safe” section on all the ways we could get into danger. No other city in Russia had this descriptor and so instead of airbnb in the suburbs (because its apparently dangerous at night), we booked ourselves the Metelitsa Hotel near a cultural museum which continually changes its exhibits. Our hypothesis: cultural museum = safe neighborhood.
They Eat.. Ulan-Ude
Our first stop off the trans-siberian train was Ulan-Ude and it took 66 hours from Vladivostok. A Lenin Head, Buddhist Monestary and some amazing Bouzas is what awaits you.
