I thought spending six nights ans seven days on a train would be a painful experience but in fact it was fantastic. The train crosses Northern China, Siberia and Russia at such a leasurely speed that the landscape unfolds with an unassuming drama just beyond the glass. I spent much of my time trying to draw the vanishing horizon lines on the train window with a marker pen. It is only now that I am back that I am able to see video clips of some of that.
