My longest ever train journey lasted for 94 hours: from Krasnoyarsk to Vladivostok (more than 5000 km). I suppose I was the only person in the whole carriage to travel for such a distance. In fact, very few people today a using trains in Russia for such a long distance. As flights between big cities a not only much faster, but also usually cheaper than kupe. However, for those who live in smaller settlements, long-distance trains remain crucial public transport. For Kazakhstan, the situation today is the same, despite train ticket price there is almost 3 times cheaper than in Russia

Did you get to eat horsemeat while you were there? When I was in Almaty about 18 years ago, I had a lot, unwittingly: it was a bit of a staple food then. Minced and packaged it looks like the beef I thought I had bought in my local supermarket. I went to a restaurant with a mate and some locals one evening and it was also served sliced like steak, and in what looked and tasted like cornish pasties. Surprisingly tasty!

My two longest journeys in post-soviet countries have both been around 70 hours: the first in 2013 from Irkutsk to Vladivostok as part of my journey along the Transsiberian railway, where we took more stops before to explore the cities along the way and used the long-distance trains most times only at night to change the city, and the second in 2019 from Kiev to Baku via Kharkiv, Volgograd and Derbent, which is no longer possible for obvious reasons. The last one didn't have a dining car too, but it was no problem to shop along the way too. Congratulations for your 250th video 🙂

Congrats on 250 videos! 🎉🎊 A truly epic trip across a huge country that I now can't help to want to do. Couple of questions, if you see this. 1. Is it possible to book out the whole cabin for one person? Do they allow that? Asking for a socially inept friend 😉 2. Is Kazakhstan easy to travel for Westerners? I assume English isn't well spoken, but are people friendly and easy to communicate with? Are basic traveller streetwise skills enough or are there more tips to be aware? No offence, Kazakhstanis.

You can book the whole cabin, but would have to book 4 tickets... and I found the whole country very easy to travel, cheap and very fun! 😁

Привет! На всякий случай отпишусь с комментарием по поводу ньюасов с душем в поездах на постсоветском пространстве. Если вам попадется старый вагон без душа, то спросите у проводника где вы можете принять душ в поезде? Как правило это вагон начальника поезда, по крайней мере так без проблем можно сделать в России. Так же как и в России в Казахстане наверняка есть доставка еды курьером к поезду, только этот сервис работает в янедкс, не в google. Удачных путешествий!👍
