Ride along with Ann Craig-Cinnamon and John Cinnamon for 30 minutes as they travel from Moscow, Russia to Beijing, China aboard the Trans-Siberian Railway. The 16-day journey in 2019 took them from Red Square to the Russian countryside, through Siberia with a stop at Lake Baikal, a few days in Mongolia including an overnight in a ger camp, and finally ending in the Chinese capital to see the Great Wall of China, giant pandas, and more. You'll experience three distinct cultures, meet the locals, get to know some fellow international travelers, and discover how much we have in common with people on the other side of the world. Travel is a cultural bridge and an education like nothing else. Sit back and enjoy a Journey on the Trans-Siberian Railway.

Thank you for sharing this. This is my dream to experience in the future, because I'm still young it is still a dream to experience someday.

@JohnCinnamon Год назад

Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope you get to take the trip some day. Good luck.

Thank you very much. So glad you liked our film and that you found it all the way on the other side of the world. We've also visited India and enjoyed our time there, as well.

This is a great mini film - Hope more of these would come in youtube, you have done a tremendous job - Traveling is a way to live and connect with people Subscribed to your channel :)

Thanks! Glad you liked it. As my wife, Ann, always says, "Travel is an education like none other. It brings history alive, it makes geography personal, and it is a cultural bridge. There are so many people that you meet along the way that you learn from."

4:45 - Well, upon arrival to British or US border control, they routinely inspect all electronic memory devices (flash cards, HDDs etc.) as well as your accounts on social networks etc. They would ask you for a password if any files or partition is found encrypted. Apart from that, they would ask you a lot of weird questions that often stuns you into stupor. They can revoke your visa at any moment at whim, deport you, and ban you for any re-entrance attempt later. Whimsically, I mean, and you cannot sue them in a court.

4:30: It sounds as if they were making a note of your IMEI number. It is sent to the network whenever you connect so that way they could track you in Russia. You can display this by making a "call" to *#06# and you should really write this down yourself. If your phone ever gets stolen, the number can be blacklisted and the phone is then unusable by the thief. It is all a part of the GSM specifications from the early 90s but not very well known.

@JohnCinnamon Год назад

We figured it was to track our (my) movements in Russia. I assume I'm in the clear now because I have a different phone.

@christopherx7428 Год назад

@@JohnCinnamon You would most likely have been in the clear as soon as you connected to a network Russia does not control. However, by getting your IMEI number, they make sure that it would not help if you changed to a local Russian SIM card, they would still know it is your phone. The IMEI number identifies the HW.

@Pythoner Год назад

Sorry to be that guy but you took the Trans-Mongolian. The Trans-Siberian goes from Moscow to Vladivostok.

@JohnCinnamon Год назад

First of all, thanks for watching. Secondly, yes, you are being THAT guy. We do address the various routes within the documentary and make no secret that we ultimately took the Trans-Mongolian route. But from Moscow to Irkutsk, we were on the Trans-Siberian. For comparison, Route 66 goes from Chicago to L.A. But if someone says they drove Route 66 from St. Louis, MO to Williams, AZ, I'm not going to tell them they didn't travel Route 66. They did, just not the whole thing.

They were in Siberia from the moment they crossed the Ural mountains.

Your train #100 has outdated Soviet cars and a paid shower in the main car. For the same price, you could buy a ticket for the flagship train #002 "Rossiya", which has modern comfortable carriages with free showers.

We booked our trip with a tour company and had little control over which accommodations we could choose. Thanks for watching.

@morzh1978 Год назад

4:40 - not at all surprising. Being a journalist or a "globe trotter" presents a perfect cover for espionage mission, which over-zealous counter-intelligence unit is always happy to investigate. Did not know though they were that hyper active back in 2019 already.

@alkukhta Год назад

There are trains with showers, why didn't you choose them?

@JohnCinnamon Год назад

The specific tour (and tour company) we chose only offered the "2nd Class" accommodations. And that was fine with us. We feel like it gave us a more authentic experience. Thanks for watching.

@oldbagira2192 Год назад

@@JohnCinnamon On trains, you are allowed to go into the next class 1 car and take a shower for an inexpensive surcharge. The train conductor should have told you about this.

Is this made by a travel agency ?

No, it’s not. While we are both travel agents, we did not produce this documentary with the help of any agency or to promote any specific agency or company. You may have noticed that there was no mention or promotion of any travel agency within the documentary.

@Sam_Green____4114 Год назад

How does a Virgin Train's , West Coast mainline service ( London Euston - Glasgow ) get included in a video about the Trans Siberian express ? @13:03

@JohnCinnamon Год назад

Thanks for watching. That was most likely stock footage - or "B-roll", as it's known - of a generic train passing by. It's common in documentary filmmaking to use generic images or videos to fill a spot for editing purposes when there wasn't some piece of original footage available.

#1, Thanks for watching. #2, No, he didn’t. Born in Louisville, KY, his first restaurant was in Corbin, KY. The first “KFC” franchise was in Utah in 1952. Didn’t expand into Canada until the 1960s. #3, A 30-minute documentary about train travel through Russia, Mongolia, and China and THAT was your takeaway?

@aussiebloke51 Год назад

I really enjoyed this video. I did the same trip in reverse in 2008. In 2020 I travelled the full Trans-Siberian - Moscow to Vladivostok in winter with minus 20C temperature. I am so glad you made the point about being a traveller and not a tourist. It is also very true that people want the same things the world over - family, loved ones, dignity, purpose and shelter. Mixing, eating, sleeping, using public transport, talking with locals etc is very rewarding and you experience people and places that are not listed in a glossy tourist brochure.

@JohnCinnamon Год назад

Thanks for watching and thanks for the comments. You definitely got the message of our film: average people around the world are more alike than we are different.

@abbeystump Месяц назад

I’ve done the same. Did the 7 days Vladivostok Moscow last January…….Spent 30 days along the BAM. I agree the people you meet are the highlight of travel.

@aussiebloke51 Месяц назад

@abbeystump I'm envious as I would love to on the BAM route. I would also like to travel to Vladivostok via the old route via Harbin in northern China. Having read House by the Dvina and watched the film Leviathan, I would like to go by train to Archangel and Murmansk. We can but dream.

@@aussiebloke51 Im going again next February.I did Murmansk train Moscow - Vladivostok 2019 on a one month Visa.Put Vorkuta train on your list. I spent last New Years in Oymyakon -57c which was a big dream to experience. I did 21 train trip last time....
