lake baikal is descibed as "achingly beautiful" and they are not wrong. wow, cant comprehend that it is an island. it is stunning, amazing, perfect etc etc.
vodka is so cheap and now i think am addicted to the stuff, hellish!!!
was so funnt as the first afternoon we went for a walk and these guys pulled up in a lada and they fell out the car with some voddie (vodka) and were like "u drink" they had a kid in the car with a flick knife and also were watching porn. on eof my group, Dallas went for a spin in the car, was blinking hilarious he he
dip your feet-5 years, hands 1 year and whole body 25 years so i went for it, umm nice pics for y'all to see in me swimwear..hellish.....was so god damn cold, about 2 degrees. i was like "25 years for the smoker" he he only myself, heika,brad and steve went in. then we had a banya which is a russian bath thing. oh my god, was sooo hot!! had the BEST day yesterday, was so great!!! we split into 2 groups so there was 7 of us in one house and the food was great. oh my god, drop toilets that are like something out of texas chain saw massacre in the dark.
took some awesome pics, again cant upload. am back in irkutsk for a few hours then overnight train to ulan ude to see giant lenin head.
en route to lake baikal we split into a car and a minibus thing. i was in front seat of this car and shoved on some of the drivers techno, was hilarious, they love techno out here. we stopped for a smoke and the drivers benny benassi was pumping out, was like phase 2 in the middle of the siberian forest he he :)
feel so lucky to have walked up a hill on lake baikal and swam in it. it really is something else.
