from sat til weds

my gosh, so much to type, dont wanna be stuck in internet cafe all day so scuse typos
yes had me choccie pancake and then slept well, up early to go see lenin. my god that was mental seeing him in wax in his tomb, he even has a goatie. couldnt take any pics though and still cant seem to upload any as i go gggrr nay mind, you'll all have to be bored stupid by me when i return he he
so after that (sat morn) got metro etc to trans sib station in moscow. nice compartments, shared with 2 american girls, trish and liz and we had a spare bunk as a table. my god the toilets were hoorendous and i mean horrendous, hellish, absolutelt\y stunk. again got tangled up with some russion soldiers (not like that, just drinks and chat-well pointing etc). mikhel massaged my feet (nothing else and i mean nothing else)!! I want my husn\band remember. got some cool pics of the soldiers he he :)
the train life is good but after 3 dsays i was getting cabin fever, the time passes quite fast really and i wasnt bored, apinted me nails, read me charley book (cheers Lucy)...listened to mp3-ahhh sigur ros when speeding through siberia-it was ace!!
lots of mayhem, been keeping my journal updated. am sick of noodles and dried milk though argh. vodka vodka vodak...not for me thanks been drinking baltika beer.
NOTHING and I mean NOTHING is in english but my russian is coming on, nyet, spasiba, anglee, palzhalsta!! no, thanks,english,sorry! he he erm....back to skool for me then.
the russians love me roll ups and they gave me some giant figs...all i could hear down the corrider was "helen" as they wanted me to go smoke with them but they will just try and give you everything they have. very harsh people at first but once get to know them is ok, they warmer.
argh feel like am still on the train. didnt sleep very well last night. am 8 hours aheda now. i know this blog is all over the place but am trying to get down as much info as possible so that can go exploring in irkutsk. got here 11am today, finally had a shower after 4 days...argh...we are staying in apoartments now for 1 night, dinner at 7 then bus to lake baikal for 2 days then overnight train to ulan ude so can see the giant lenin head.
cant believe have only been away for 1 week today..feels like longer and I have mongolia and china yet still-ansum!!!
did some poi at one of the stations at night and everyone loved it and was having a go, even the locals and the russians from the train.
my money belt is making me look fat :(

I am sitting here at my desk just chuckling whilst reading your blog. You are sooo funny! Sounds like you are having an absolute blast! I love the fact that you are getting on with the Russian soldiers and they are loving your roll ups. So funny when you can hear them walking down the corridor of the train and all you can understand is 'Helen'. What the hell are they saying? Prob something like, 'that bird Helen is some crazy chick who keeps asking me to get it on the leg and she also wants me to catch her rats, must be some new sex talk we don't know about' haha!!! If only they knew eh?
Can you receive texts then hun? Didn't realise you could, I would have been inundating you by now!!! Anyway, you take care xxxxx
