    I’d highly recommend the transmongolian route from Moscow to Beijing (the alternative is the transmanchurian, but then you miss out on Mongolia, which is one of the most magical countries I’ve visited).

    And allow enough time to get thoroughly lost in the Mongolian wilderness while you’re there – we didn’t do this (we had 4 weeks for the whole trip, with ‘home’ waiting for us to get back to) and we’re going to have to get back to Mongolia somehow.

    Great list :)

    That sounds like a fantastic idea Rachel. I’ll have to add that to my todo for when I get there. I have absolutely no idea what Mongolia is going to be like but as long as it’s different than North America, I’ll be happy :) Have you got a list of your own?
