For the first time since leaving home I had 20 minuits on my own last night. We were all in the food carridge on the train chatting and drinking. I left early to go to our bedroom cart. I sat on the bed and realised that this was the most amount of privacy I had since London. It felt weird. I have been surrounded by people 24/7...even when you sleep your with people . I relaxed on the bed and took in the moment. I love being around people but it's good to have a little bit of release from it all.

After spending 8 hours at the russian border and the authorities checking under the floor boards for illegal things etc...we finally made it to Mongolia. I thought Russia was cold...flip me, was I wrong. Basically when you breath, it hurts and the inside of your nostrils freeze!!!Thats how cold it is.

First impressions of Mongolia is not impressive. I had my first travellers fairwell. We had to leave Moten and Martina behind at the station as they wasnt on our tour. It was sad as we had spent a long time together on the train. It felt quite empty when they wasnt there. However, I have their mob number and they are somewhere in Ulaan Baatar so i'm sure we'll meet up.

Tonight we all went out and sure enough Morten and Matina were out. Somethig dodgy happened though. We were all drunk and this man we met commented that he didnt want his wife to walk home alone becasue he didnt want 'a mongolian to f**k her". As he said this a group of mongolian lads walked passed. They came back and said why were said f**k Mongolians!! It was a misunderstanding. After explaining was was relly said they jouned us for drinks. More drinks were flowing. Only Glenn, Mike and I were still standing and a party was mentioned. We all wanted to go so the Mongolian lads ordered taxi's for us. They took us to some remote place where a club was.

However, they tried to rip us off, making us pay three times the entry fee. A little bit of an arguement before we split, got paranoid (dont watch hostel movie-thought we were going to get killed, Ha) and got a taxi home.
