Hello all! i'm new to this website and have a few questions regarding a trip on the trans-mongolian railroad that i'm doing in July.

First off, if i buy the tickets through this webpage, how reliable is it? I'm buying six separate tickets, and i'm thinking to pick them all up in Moscow. This is possible right? But how reliable is it, i mean, i don't want to arrive to moscow just to find out they screwed it all up.

Secondly, i'm planning to stop over in ekaterinburg, novosibirsk, krasnoyarsk, irkutsk, ulan bator and beijing. Most time will be spent in irkutsk (2-3 days) and ulan bator (3 days). Do you agree these are the places worth spending most time in? Should i spend more or less time in any place?

Thirdly, i'm not reserving any hotels in the cities in advance. Is it easy to find cheap hotels or hostels in all cities? How expensive are they, and what does a meal generally cost in these cities?

Thank you!
