Huge country but isn't it a continent as well?

Anyone ever thought about the size of the country/continent and how big it is compared to Europe?!

Seriously fascinated by Russia

North or South America are both larger by area. But Russia is one country. Plus there's a lot of.... nothing... there because of the cold. Not to mention numbers stations and spiritual anomalies. It's also a ritualistic hotspot.

Did you know that Video Cameras and especially Dash Cams and YouTube were invented and developed purely so the rest of the World could enjoy the antics of Russians in their everyday lives!

I flew out of Moscow on a morning at the start of the year....you think Moscow is almost at the edge of the country....but it takes HOURS to get over the border...and its just empty...just forest and snow covered open ground....

To be honest, I don't know the details. All I know is that a lot of the ritual ambient projects I know spend a lot of time over in Russia.

I'd love to do a train journey from Moscow to Vladivostok.

I'd probably want to do it in the summer....Moscow is -26c in the day during Feb...and it only gets colder as you go east.
