3.38 p.m. - Train Moscow-Blagovechtchensk, Ongoing

  • Waking up. Eating in bed. Headache. But the view makes me forget about it.
  • Landscape changes, and people faces too.
  • There is a guy with a Chinese book next to me. I think some guys are praying on the bed.
  • It makes me feel at ease to imagine that I'll be staying in a place where there is, à priori, a language bariere. I just will be one more guy that don't understand what is said.

3.49 p.m. - Ongoing

  • Yes, it's a prayer. Looks like a Muslim one. He is joining hands, palms turned to face. No rag. He, in particular, is shaved. Some of his friends have beards.
  • There is more plaines than before, outside.

4.20 p.m. - Ongoing

  • Just found the train stop schedule. It was about time...
  • Huys playing cards around me.
  • I hear someone playing a famous jazz version of "La vie en rose". I realise I'm far from home. I'm happy.

4.49 p.m. - =

  • I should be playing cards with these guys...

4.52 p.m. - =

  • Outside, cows are eating grass escorted buy two farmers.

6.18 p.m. - =

  • Train leaving Chita 2. I just had a look at the holly building there, and go some food from the station market. I asked for bread and chocolate. The guy sold me a chawarma and crêpes with it. Easy client that I am.
  • There is some white painted graffitis on rocks around the station. It's just words or short phrases.
  • Two cops come and go, in the train. Looks like a usual patrol.
  • A man is riding a horse.

7.52 p.m. -

  • It's mostly men in this train.
  • I've been reading and learning with my Russian book for an hour.
