: : Would like to hear experiences from travelers on the Trans-Siberian train from Moscow to Beijing. What's it like? Safe? Only English speakers ok? Hope to travel Spring 2001.
: I am trying to find out the same information as you. I will be leaving Washington, D.C. on Sept. 30, 2000 for this trip. Please e-mail me if you have found out any information. Thank you, Chef Annie
:Likewise, it looks OK from what I've read so far with the usual tavel concerns. I am from London and am planning on travelling from Moscow to Singapore in the summer of 2000. The Moscow-Bejing bit is the only place I don't know much about!
This is quite a good link

Please email me if you know or find out anything of note.
There are obviously concerns though as my Russian friends are advising me against the trip saying it will be full of corruption and problems.
