@Jacob : Thank you!
I miss the snow in Denmark that’s for sure. And it’s a beautiful thing isn’t it, people opening up because their lives are shaken up a bit by unforeseen circumstances. I love that.

Enjoy your unexpected free evening! And the snow – I love the brightness of snow.

Hi Ingrid

Here in Aarhus, Denmark there is so much snow that my boss just called and canceled our nightshift work. That has never happened bofore. So some good things happen when the weather turns into an icestorm

You should be here in Aaurhus to see it. I was was waiting for the bus at the “Ringvejen” ( you’ve been in Aarhus so you know what I mean ) The trucks are having difficulties climbing up the small hills. At the small roads some cars are stuck in the snow… It’s quite a fun to see it all. And while I waited for the bus I chatted with two other guys. You know normally you never say a word when you wait… And we helped a car that was stuck in the snow.

Now I will enjoy a night without work in front of the tv and my warm bed. :-)

Have a nice trip around the world :-)

You are going a week or so later than me aren’t you, might be it is less cold! :-) I am counting on the train being warm, and I think we will be fine. If we freeze, we will appreciate the weather in our home countries for years to come. But I can see that the temperature difference for you is much bigger than for me as Malaysia is quite a a lot warmer than the UK!

We’ll be fine. That’s what I keep telling myself. We’ll be just fine!

And we will feel incredible good about it after, it will be a great experience!

Heya Ingrid,

I’m excited for you! Apparently I read this travel blog about a couple who did the transsib in March 2006. Their nose hair didnt freeze…but their tear ducts did!

I’m soo scared too!!! Brr…

Yes for sane people (which I am not) it must sound insane. I keep convincing myself that it is not :-)

The good news is it is only going to be -11 C in Moscow the days I am there. In Ekaterinburg and Novosibirsk, places I will pass (while hopefully sitting in the warm train) during the trip it is going to be -24 C on Monday!
That’s what I call winter :-)

@Edwinek – it’s going to be sunshine with not too much wind, so it will probably be fine.

@Rosemaria – Thank you so much! I feel honoured to visit your country, and I really really look forward to it !
