Welcome - one month and counting!

Hey!

What's the correct jargon to use for a travel blog? Is is a travlog, a travblog, travelblog, blogvel - who knows? Well, no matter - whatever the answer is, you've found your way to mine.

In a month, I'm off on my fantastic holiday, taking in five countries, two continents, and clocking up some 18,500 kilometres. An experience like this promises to be amazing, and one that I wanted to share as much as I could, hence my creating this blog.

The ability to write copious amounts shouldn't pose an issue, as I'll be spending quite a lot of my time on trains chugging across Russia, Mongolia and China - however, managing to get that content uploaded to here could prove a greater challenge, as I'm not sure how great the Mongolian steppes are for internet cafes and the like. ;)

Still, I'll give this a go - and appreciate anyone pitching in with comments, thoughts, or general "ooh, ahh" type noises!

As for where I am to date?

Well, proudly in possession of one Russian visa (below right); one Mongolian visa (below left); and currently wrestling with the Chinese embassy to hopefully have one Chinese visa issued without too much further fuss!

So far, so good!

From London to Beijing,
Tourists they'll be kidnapping,
Making 'em work for some love,
work for some love,

Cause they'll be pimping you,
and all the things you can do,
Omsk's men love to love...
