So. The final post for the great adventure. It's a short one really and that's because it's trying to sum up the frankly unsummariseable.

Russia is for want of the word.

Random.

More than the outback of Australia.

More than northern Laos.

And definitely more than most of India.

It's a place of utter confusion, suprise, mystery, incomphrehension, rudeness, charm and frankly the bizarre. But it's also wonderful and deeply historic with all that's been this adventure.

I've spent 2 weeks in one of Stalins great edifices to the world. One of his absolute 2 fingers to the West, and yet it's also strangely humbling to be in a place of historical significance, guarded by 3 old ladies and their two pet dogs.

I won't miss the inability to communicate even the most basic of desires...but everything else....

Well..what a roller coaster.

You shoud visit.
