A virtual trip with the Trans-Siberian railway

Have you ever dreamed of going on the Trans-Siberian railway across Russia? Google has cooperated with Russian Railways to create a video of the entire trip. If you’re having trouble sleeping, check out the massive 150 hour footage of endless birch forests, sleepy train stations and even more birch forests.

My view of the birch forests some years ago.

It was quite entertaining to revisit the godforsaken train stations I remembered from my Trans-Siberian journey some years ago. But I must admit that the best part was to fast-forward past some of them. I especially enjoyed having a look at the places I missed while sleeping on the five day journey.

Have a look at the first part of the video:
