Journey on the Trans-Siberian Railway - a film by Ann Craig-Cinnamon & John Cinnamon

Ride along with Ann Craig-Cinnamon and John Cinnamon for 30 minutes as they travel from Moscow, Russia to Beijing, China aboard the Trans-Siberian Railway. The 16-day journey in 2019 took them from Red Square to the Russian countryside, through Siberia with a stop at Lake Baikal, a few days in Mongolia including an overnight in a ger camp, and finally ending in the Chinese capital to see the Great Wall of China, giant pandas, and more. You'll experience three distinct cultures, meet the locals, get to know some fellow international travelers, and discover how much we have in common with people on the other side of the world. Travel is a cultural bridge and an education like nothing else. Sit back and enjoy a Journey on the Trans-Siberian Railway.

Thank you for sharing this. This is my dream to experience in the future, because I'm still young it is still a dream to experience someday.

4:45 - Well, upon arrival to British or US border control, they routinely inspect all electronic memory devices (flash cards, HDDs etc.) as well as your accounts on social networks etc. They would ask you for a password if any files or partition is found encrypted. Apart from that, they would ask you a lot of weird questions that often stuns you into stupor. They can revoke your visa at any moment at whim, deport you, and ban you for any re-entrance attempt later. Whimsically, I mean, and you cannot sue them in a court.

I really enjoyed this video. I did the same trip in reverse in 2008. In 2020 I travelled the full Trans-Siberian - Moscow to Vladivostok in winter with minus 20C temperature.
I am so glad you made the point about being a traveller and not a tourist. It is also very true that people want the same things the world over - family, loved ones, dignity, purpose and shelter. Mixing, eating, sleeping, using public transport, talking with locals etc is very rewarding and you experience people and places that are not listed in a glossy tourist brochure.

This is a great mini film - Hope more of these would come in youtube, you have done a tremendous job - Traveling is a way to live and connect with people
Subscribed to your channel :)

It is a pity that no one told you that there is a soul in 1st class carriages and you can use it for a not expensive price.

Lovely video! Have been to Russia and Mongolia, but would have loved to take the Trans-Siberian rail. And China also seems very exciting. Thanks for a nice video. Hugs from Norway

4:30: It sounds as if they were making a note of your IMEI number. It is sent to the network whenever you connect so that way they could track you in Russia. You can display this by making a "call" to *#06# and you should really write this down yourself. If your phone ever gets stolen, the number can be blacklisted and the phone is then unusable by the thief.

It is all a part of the GSM specifications from the early 90s but not very well known.

Your train #100 has outdated Soviet cars and a paid shower in the main car. For the same price, you could buy a ticket for the flagship train #002 "Rossiya", which has modern comfortable carriages with free showers.

Sorry to be that guy but you took the Trans-Mongolian. The Trans-Siberian goes from Moscow to Vladivostok.

4:40 - not at all surprising. Being a journalist or a "globe trotter" presents a perfect cover for espionage mission, which over-zealous counter-intelligence unit is always happy to investigate. Did not know though they were that hyper active back in 2019 already.

[cliffwoodbury]

and to think this same journey will take 2 days in the next decade or so

[dederuhiyat]

Thanks for the nice video, cheers from Jakarta

[alkukhta]

There are trains with showers, why didn't you choose them?

[sdencik]

Hi..any video about your trip to Tibet?

Начала смотреть. Снобизм авторов зашкаливает. Выключила.
