Hello again, I´m still planning the trip for this April and I´m having more problems than expected. First, I'll be going from Beijing to Ulaan Baatar and stay there for a week and then head north to Irkutsk. Then started the problems. I've heard many different things from different people so not decided yet what to do. First I´ve been said by a russian that is supposed to know pretty well the zone that if I'm gonna stay for a week in Mongolia I better not stop in Ulan Ude. What do you guys think?. Ok, then also this guy told me that in mid- May (when I'll be supposed to be in Irkusk) Baikal Lake will defenitely be frozen (at least north of it) so trips to Olkhon Island are not worth it. ???? Then I have to decide whether to take a train from Irkutsk to Moskow or Vladivostok (and then a flight to Moscow). Which part eastwound or westwound is best? Also and the last thing there´s many webs for international train tickets and they all say different schedule and time of departure for same train numbers. Which one should I trust? THANKS EVERYONE FOR ANY HELP
