Siberian New Years

I've heard for years that people were "sent" to Siberia, but no one ever just goes there. My curiosity got the best of me, so I had to take a side trip from Moscow to see what it was like. After a few short days there, I decided to go back when it was colder, so I returned to Novosibirsk, the Western Capitol of Siberia, for New Years. And yes, it was cold.

 The Siberian capital seems to be an attractive destination! You were lucky going there, Tom!

 while traveling from Kemorova to Barnaul I passed thru novosibirsk but we did not dtop as we were behind schedule.. the city to an american like me seemed like a "best kept secret of Russia". so modern in the middle of nowhere. hope to return some day.

 Always nice to see someone take an "off the beaten" path route in Russia, nice page, but I know the crime is much worse in Moscow than Novosibirsk
