Kara and Nate As I always go on the trains to my grandma I once went off the train and the train starting moving and I had to chase it and jump on to it . It was in the middle of nowhere
I just want to add two really useful points to anyone looking to this video before going on the transiberian railway: 1. There is a list of stops om the wall with the amount of time the train stops at each location so you know if you can get off or not. 2. The best part of travelling thus railway is the people you meet so I really recommend not travelling in first class. Trust me you will ne dragged into so many train picnics, card games and vodka shots! It really elevates the experience xxx
I've watched your whole Trans-Siberian playlist several times, but I keep coming back to the first three videos because the feeling they give me is so comforting. My anxiety has been at an all time high lately, and your videos have made a huge difference, so thank you!
Guys, in our Russian trains we have restaurant where you can normally eat. Eating fast food noodles became problem with your stomach. P.S. Sorry for my bad English. Welcome to Russia and enjoy!
how much it will cost from Moscow to the last station to eastern side of Russia. I love to see those incredible places like, lake Baikal and the isolated places of Russia. please must reply.
right now it's about $400 for the first class and $150 for the second (where the doors can't be closed, everyone in one wagon). The duration is 7 days btw.
When in the 90s I went by train from Moscow to Khabarovsk, then in Ulan-Ude (Buryatia) our train braked sharply at night and I fell down from the top bed. At that time there in the chamber was a built-in speaker, a power button and a volume control of the internal train-radio above the window . The train driver was a DJ and put in cassette tapes he liked. I remember that on the way back I layd about half a day on the top bed and looked thru the window at the boundless Lake Baikal listening to the Beatles hits :)
Wow I visited Russia during the World Cup and took trains from Kazan to Moscow (16 hour train) and from Moscow to Rostov on don (24 hour train) and that was enough for me, I honestly don’t know how you guys manage to make it all the way without feeling bored. On the other side on the train from Moscow to Rostov I was in a cart full of Mexicans and we had a party at the restaurant all the way until they closed at 11, and drinking warm vodka tonics because there was no ice haha, great memories from Russia and the World Cup, I hope to be back one day!
Jesse Garibay that’s awesome haha. I’m Mexican American and I’ve been to Russia a few times. It seems like a difficult trip but I really want to experience this trip one day.
Russia did a fantastic job hosting the world cup: embassies processed 1000s of visas easily, and the city was really cleaned up before the game. They can really get their shit together for an event like this, and it seemed like there were no real problems during the game period. Kudos to Russia, you did an excellent job hosting the football, it should have made you all very proud of your country!
@@NinoNiemanThe1st in Russia clean and safe already 7-8 years, don't afraid come with us and better more connect with native people, expats in Russia now what good time can organize russians
Part of the appeal of long train journeys is eating in the restaurant car. It's surprisingly good, given the obvious limitations. Just ask the conductor for a key to your compartment when you leave to have dinner. Don't leave it unlocked.
Just in case, upside down lower case H letter is called "Che" and is pronounced as "ch". Long-distance train number consists of tree digits and one letter, while suburban train numbers consist only of four digits. Letters in train numbers are used for coding destinations. For example, 001A train will take you from Moscow to St. Petersburg, and train 001M - from Moscow to Vladivostok. Digits in the number code type of the train: 001-150 rapid train available the year around (all stops are relatively short and minor stops are omitted), 151-298 seasonal rapid train, 301-450 so called passenger (it would not skip minor stops), 451-598 seasonal passenger train, 701-750 rapid train (mean speed 91 km/h and higher), 751-788 ultra rapid train (speed 161 km/h and higher). If the number is even, than the train moves to the East or the North. If the number is odd, the train goes to the West or the South.
Alyssa McArthur You are digging yourself a deeper hole. “ An Cyrillic” ? I can’t think of a grammatical construct in the English language that has An before Cyrillic. I just followed your lead to stereotype Southerners when you said “your words run together “ like that is even a thing. Now you are hot and heavy coming to bat for the guy in the video offering novel explanations on why someone would substitute Cyrillic for acrylic. Thanks but I do get my fair share of pussy 😀 But I have to turn around and suggest the same to you if you are out batting and coming up with lame explanations for a guy who said something ignorant and moronic and put it out for the whole world to watch it.
I travelled on this route last year and had such a great time, I suffer from withdrawal symptoms. I have watched this video many times and I still love it.
I love this vlog so much! I watched it for the first time last year just before I took my first of two trips on the Trans-Siberian. I have to say, getting to see the train ahead of time really helped me prepare better for my trip and alleviate some of my anxiety about the unknown. I had such a good time, I did it again this year and it was just as great!!
I did this trip. I usually got off at each stop and was careful to be back in time. One guy did miss it and his family had to get off at the next stop to reconnect with him.
The train has a clear schedule with how many minutes it stops in each station. You have to be a clueless moron not to have done any reading or research to keep asking the Provodnitsa in sign language. Oh and if you go to Russia and call yourself a travel vlogger and world traveler, learn some basic Russian. This whole trip was epic fail and a guide for how not to do this epic train journey I did this up and down ( nonstop 7 day on the Westbound train) and this whole video made me laugh.
Sam S yeah Sam you are so cool and edgy and I guess you can read every language and never make a mistake. The guy who missed the train was with family and two young kids. It was really unfortunate but I think they got it all sorted out. The train crew were really helpful. They definitely have an interesting story to tell people for the rest of their lives
it would make sense if you stay at few cities for few days, stretch the 7 day trip into 14 days. It is cheap to stay in a basic hotel near any train station. You see and meet locals. Just taking 7 day trip from moscow to Vladivostok or Beijing without any stops ... is not recommended.
I find it so funny how the comments are so nit picky and that Kara and Nate get bombarded with dislikes every video from annoying nit picky salty people . Like yeah they get to travel and do things. Yes they make you nit picky, boo hoo. That’s what happens when you work a 9-5, you are stuck watching people living the dream, so instead of disliking and wasting your time away, how about do something productive to be like them
You could get the mugs/spoons/forks for free and didn't have to buy coffee/tea to get it, just ask the conductor. Also, she has water so you don't have to spend money on buying it elsewhere (but not even every locals know that). There is a stops schedule inside a car on the wall. And nowadays we have biotoilets in every (or almost every) train they're much nicer than you had. And nowadays the majority of trains, which go in a long distance, have a shower in one or two cars so you can go there and take a shower for 2 or 3$ and there are 2 outlets for every sits not just in the first class but in second and sometimes in third also.
During the Soviet era and later to the train stop came an old woman (babushka) and selling your homemade food: hot boiled potatoes, chicken, cottletes, pickles, pies. It was very tasty and not expensive. So it was on all stations. Generally the train is always the dining car 🌲🌲🌲Во времена ссср и позже к остановке поезда приходили бабушки и продавали свою домашнюю еду: горячую вареную картошку, котлеты, соленые огурчики, пирожки. Это было очень вкусно и не дорого. Так было на всех станциях. Вообще в поезде всегда есть вагон-ресторан
Also Katusha, the 'hot water dispenser' that Kara and Nate refer to is the ubiquitous Russian 'Samovar' that you see everywhere in the country. It's such a civilised thing: hot water available anytime. The train and the trip just sound fabulous! For Westerners, we imagine/fantasise about reading some of the great Russian writers (Dostoyevsky etc), while riding a train like the Trans-Siberian. Russia: a beautiful, fascinating country with its own incredible culture - we are in awe of your writers, and even musicians (Tschaikovsky, Mussgorsky etc) too. I just wish our government's could get along better too! But for average people in the West - we are fascinated by Russia, and most respectful and grateful of your contribution to the world of culture: writing, philosophy, and music!
Awesome adventure and video Nate & Kara! My then wife and I took the Trans Siberian Railway from Moscow to Beijing in 1988 just before the fall of the former Soviet Union. Yes, I agree, it was a great adventure! You probably learned more Russian, while you were on the train, than you let on to know but for your viewers… the hot water makers/ dispensers aboard each train car are called “samovars” and the beautiful ornate hot water glass holders are called “podstakanniks”. Regarding the Cyrillic alphabet, the upside down lower case “h” is pronounced “Che” as in the English word “chat”. We too had reserved a First Class cabin but once we arrived to board our train in Moscow, they told us there were no more First Class cabins. Instead we ended up each getting a bunk in separate (yet adjacent) Second Class cabins. My wife with three Swedes and me with three Russian doctors going to China to work. We were the only Americans on the train. I was greatly upset, for about a day, that we weren’t able to get the kind of cabin we paid for but then I realized that this was an amazing blessing. If we had not been split up, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to get to know these three Russians as well as I did. On the contrary, I found the others on the train friendly & willing to chat. The train appeared to be full of just Russians, Chinese and Swedes. As many of you are familiar, one of the benefits of train travel is you can walk and explore virtually all the cars on the train. This way you have the opportunity to meet more people than just those in your own train car. On one such exploration I even sat down to play game, played around the world, with a Russian… the game of chess. Check mate! In regards to food and experiencing the culture, if & when you (viewers) do take your own trip on the Trans Siberian Railway… do pack some picnic supplies for the trip before you board but, by all means, take advantage of the dining car at least once and order up a delicious hot bowl of the Russian traditional soup… “Borscht”. If you’re not familiar, it is a beet soup with a dollop of sour cream on top. Also at each station along the Trans Siberian Railway there are vendors selling food. The Russians we met were excited, with great anticipation, as we approached Lake Baikal, a massive ancient lake (deepest in the world). They appeared to have a very warm place in their hearts for this lake. At the station, many of the Russians bought packages of a favorite smoked fish of their’s (maybe called “omul”). One shared some with us. My point, regarding the advice given in my last two paragraphs, is to be sure to sample the local food along the way. It’s an important part of experiencing the culture of any new country. Очень хорошо!
In high school, I took this trip. It was a neat experience. I remember having to run to catch a train as it was moving. We had been told the wrong platform, eating in the dining car, and never be in the bathroom when the train stops!
I don't know what rabbit hole I followed to stumble upon this video in the middle of a restless night back in Jan 2019, but I immediately fell in love with both of your beautiful personalities and had to know more! I started to watch from the beginning and now I'm back to where K&N all started for me! I'm sure you'll never read this, but just in case, I had to tell you how incredible you two are and how fantastic your vlogs are. I feel like I know you and am traveling with you! I am a young and busy mom of four little ones ages 7, 5, 4, and 2. We don't travel... So your vlogs are truly an adventure for me. And your happiness and positivity is so contagious! I've still got a ways to go before catching up to where y'all are today and I'm trying not to peek too much...Thanks for letting us travel with you! Be safe and God bless!!! This is so odd. I never comment on anything...😂😂😂
If you guys really love traveling to different countries all at once without switching transportation... i would recommend a cruise! You also get plenty of time to see the city or port that you stopped in!
Who needs NETFLIX. ON VLOG 325, starting the GALAPAGOS ISLAND adventure with you guys. Started with the India tour, then Siberian Train journey. Now watch 1-2 episodes a day. Like your warm personalities, like the way you produce these VLOG's. Excellent job, and look forward to your adventures
That's because the video is all about indulging their obsession with themselves, what goes on in the back ground is an inconvenient diversion away from their own attention seeking hence why they speed up all the interesting passing through a foreign landscape part to get back to bellend in chief jumping up and down in front of a window.
So cool! a lot of Russian instant noodles )))) We hope you like our brownie because Kara looks i bit sad when she eat it ))) Also we have more new trains with shower, wifi and good toilets like in airplane!
+Gregory Obornev not sad at all! Thank you for the homemade brownies I got to eat for breakfast!!! 🤗 A new train with showers and wifi would have been extra fun👍🏻
eugene badere usually its firm trains with new coach. Also new coachs have airplane style toilets, shower, tv and sometimes wifi. You need check train before buy tickets manually.
I've seen a few travelers who have tried both Russian and Chinese instant noodles and I'm a bit surprised that they tend to like the Russian version more. Even in Russian MREs, the posters claim they taste better! One of these days, I need to get my hands on a few packs of those...
There are 2 "first classes" in the Russian railways: Deluxe - 2-berth compartment with a private shower and WC, and SV - you guys were traveling in. Good part of trains has shower service in the main wagon available for all passangers for additional fee. If you traveling from Moscow to Beijing you may choise between Russian and Chinese regular trains. Some people recommend the Mongolian train Moscow-Ulaan-Bator.
In case someone found this comment, the 2nd class and 3rd calss on these are MISERABLE if your "roommates" are not nice. Unless you are super broke, DONT book 3rd class, I promise that you will not fall asleep during the first night.
There are carriages with seats like in airplanes (сидячий вагон / sidyachiy wagon / seated car?). They are quite fine if you're not traveling far. Otherwise, you're absolutely correct.
shawn li That is not true, I traveled in 3rd and 2nd class. Both was fine. 2nd of course better but I think 1st class is not worth the money. Transib is already expensive.
I feel that if you only travel in first class you’re missing out on the experience tbh. In first class you won’t meet a lot of people I think. Especially not the locals, and I like spending time with locals. No first class for me when I’m going.
Oh, come on. Are you really believe in this shit about homemade vodka? Maybe you also think that bears play balalaika on the red square? These stereotypes are really annoying.
Surfing UA-cam on a Sunday morning with my black coffee and I find this video (suggestion by UA-cam). For a moment I was in this train drinking my coffee with you. Great format of vlog. Very sort and sweet!! Just what I like to watch on UA-cam!!!
Just wanted to drop by and say hi here since this is where I found you a couple million+ subscribers ago. The Trans Siberian Railroad. I think it was your second or third day, and I've been hooked ever since. It's amazing to me how much your channel has grown since then. I still want to do the trip but can't seem to. Oh well, thanks for the ability to live vicariously in a fun way. (:-)
Watching my first video of y'alls in honor of you hitting 2 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS! Your videos have been such a bright spot for me for the last couple of years!
@@jessquattrini *eyeroll* here you go: he mispronounces 'Cyrillic' as acrylic in ua-cam.com/video/jhR39qnFgnc/v-deo.html at 2:27, 'totalitarian' as totalian in ua-cam.com/video/o9ZJEx-t2z0/v-deo.html at 3:55 and 'Uyuni' as unuyi in ua-cam.com/video/2QFYxt0rf6s/v-deo.html at 0:49 among other things... and he constantly corrects Kara when she is almost always right... it's annoying
@@jessquattrini You can go on believing 'your truth' lol fact is he sucks at pronouncing things and tends to be condescending and rude like you're being (are you Nate lol). Kara on the other hand always makes an effort to be culturally respectful no matter what it is and is usually accurate.
What a lovely tour! I'm still impressed with only eating hot water things and powdered coffee. Also I totally understand the idea of being in one place for a bit. And the train doesn't look too bad! It's nice you all can catch up on some rest. I like following you all on Instagram. It's like I know the secrets of the upcoming videos... 😁😁
julianaayu Ok, one question: while the train is moving, can people transfer from one van to another just to check the whole train? I mean, just try to compare 1st, 2nd, and 3rd class, also the restaurant-dining- cafe.
Muditaranan Aleuyun Yes you can, sometimes the conductors will put a barrier on the door between carriages (during my time, a flag) but you can still go through it, depends on how strict the conductor is. Or you can just go out from one carriage and enter the other (I did that before). Again, it's all depend on how the conductors.. An advice from my experience, be super-friendly to the conductors and make them your best friend. It'll make your life on the train much easier.
AND THIS RIGHT HERE was the first video ever I've seen from K&N... and after THIS first video.. I watched all of them and I'm following you since them in all your travels!! Kind of feeling part of your life :P THANK YOU!!
Nice! Im dreaming of a cross-Russia train trip with a friend in a wagon like this, hoping to meet some good people on the way! I remember a trip with my mother in the early 2000's and the wagon layout is identical!
I did it last month. I would recommend you get a Chinese first class ticket. The train is slightly older but you get a sink and shower in the cabin. The Chinese staff are also friendlier than the Russians. Finally I wouldn't recommend you do more than three days on the train at a time. The train does start to stink a little after. Look at the "man in seat 61" website for more info.
Aku thanks so much for all of this info! Great that they have a sink and shower in the cabins with the other company! I'll definitely look into it all a bit further! :)
Maybe you yourself behaved not friendly and arrogant, so the reaction was the same to you. Many of you consider yourself the highest race to see the propaganda on TV
It is better when you learn the History of the construction of this train, and how the Czar's bragging of it's MILITARY potential of being able mobilize from Moscow to Vladivostok led to the Ruso-Japanese war. (influenced by ZIONIST jews out of New York. Also read the History of Jacob Schiff and his hatred for the Czar) Gigantic Russia LOST the War against the tiny island of Japan bc it was mostly a NAVAL WAR so much for the TRANS! LOL losing this war Pissed off the Pop. of Russia. a fact that was Exploited by the Bolshevik jews in their Overthrow attempts of the Imperial Gov. (they eventually succeeded in 1917) Last Year 2017 TWITTER had a "Live" Rehashing of events of 1917 by Fictitious Characters "re-living" the daily events of time. aptly called "1917" I'm sure it can still be found there
How many porridges do you have in your head. Without the official announcement of the war, the Japanese fleet attacked the Russian squadron on the outer roadstead of Port Arthur on January 27, 1904 led to the disabling of several of the strongest ships of the Russian squadron and ensured the unimpeded landing of Japanese troops in Korea in February 1904 Russia did not invade any country and attacked them !!!! And Japan began the war for the desire to dominate in Korea. And why America fought against Japan? Teach your story first! And now let's see how many countries America has destroyed! Only for 1661-1774 from Africa in the United States was imported about a million living slaves, and over nine million died on the road. The income of slavers from this operation in the prices of the middle of the XVIII century was not less than 2 billion dollars, astronomical at that time figure. American wars begin with the first attack on the Indians in 1622 in Jamestown, followed by a war with the Algocine Indians in New England in 1635-1636. and the war in 1675-1676, which ended in the destruction of almost half the cities in Massachusetts. Other wars and skirmishes with Indians continued until 1900. In total, Americans killed about 100 million Indians, which makes it possible to talk about a real genocide that far exceeds the mass murder of Jews by Hitler (4 to 6 million victims). Since 1945, they have destroyed 73 states and are responsible for the death of 26 million people. This is a horror film.
The train does have wifi...all of the new trains have wifi 😂 my family and I took the train and we were in the 2nd class we had wifi...it wasn’t too good but it did the trick...
Was in a class-2 coupe back in 1995... for 7 days straight, with my family. I think the glass-holders, the water-heaters and the toilets are exactly the same - if not THE same from back then - or even way before then. The car-attendand and the station folk also look pretty much identical to what we had seen. Lots of memories though. =)))
Good Start, 1st Class is a must by the looks of it 😉 3rd Class!! 🤔 Sounds positively archaic! Yeah wise not to hop off & first Stop! Just Imagine, your scouting about, whistle blows, & don't make it back to train time.. It's holy s*** , in a foreign country, don't speak the lingo, gotta find a cab or someone, to chase train to the next calling point 😟 but looks like vendors are situated on same platform, so train still in eye shot! Enjoying..
There are 3d class carriages with seats like in airplanes. It's perfectly fine for up to 6 hours. And one can endure more. But, man, you do not want to travel in 3d class separate compartments. 15 years ago I've accidentally bought tickets to a separate compartment on my way home from St.Pete to Moscow. I still have nightmares about that trip.

What was the major challenges you faced while traveling?
Not a good idea of boiling water and plastic bag, who knows what toxic chemicals leech into the water and food.
Kara and Nate As I always go on the trains to my grandma I once went off the train and the train starting moving and I had to chase it and jump on to it . It was in the middle of nowhere
Kara and Nate my name is Kara
you are my heroes. I am a 73-year-old retired nurse and i think what you are doing is so cool.
Lettie Kelly god bless you ma’am
you are cool for being on utube! LOL
You’re cool too !
Well done but you know what you could do? Go and explore the world yourself ma'am 73 what is holding you back go wild and free ❤
If you want to go on that train do tell me.we can go and have fun the only problem I have is I have no money lol
I just want to add two really useful points to anyone looking to this video before going on the transiberian railway:
1. There is a list of stops om the wall with the amount of time the train stops at each location so you know if you can get off or not.
2. The best part of travelling thus railway is the people you meet so I really recommend not travelling in first class. Trust me you will ne dragged into so many train picnics, card games and vodka shots! It really elevates the experience xxx
Everytime I have anxiety, I always watch your Trans - Siberian Railway adventure and it never fail to make me feel better.. ❤❤❤
Why is Cristiano Ronaldo going to Mongolia? Is he being traded?
Lol
Explain to the folk at home who Ronaldo is....
Yeah big money transfer to mongolia national team
Good joke
🤣🤣🤣
I've watched your whole Trans-Siberian playlist several times, but I keep coming back to the first three videos because the feeling they give me is so comforting. My anxiety has been at an all time high lately, and your videos have made a huge difference, so thank you!
I like it. Thanks. and I posted a walk in the north of Russia. pleasant viewing, my friend)))
Same! Their entire train series makes me so happy for some random reason
Guys, in our Russian trains we have restaurant where you can normally eat. Eating fast food noodles became problem with your stomach. P.S. Sorry for my bad English. Welcome to Russia and enjoy!
Да, жрать доширак купив билеты в купе выглядит просто смешно.

Не просто купе, а двухместный СВ.
С другой стороны, может как раз на это весь бюджет и ушёл :)
how much it will cost from Moscow to the last station to eastern side of Russia.
I love to see those incredible places like, lake Baikal and the isolated places of Russia.
please must reply.
right now it's about $400 for the first class and $150 for the second (where the doors can't be closed, everyone in one wagon). The duration is 7 days btw.
пару пузырей водки и вот ты уже в пункте назначения через 7 дней. ))
My 9 year old brother came in and asked why I was watching Ronaldo in a train xD
You better explain to him then! Ronaldo retired from football, cut out the fake English accent he had and is travelling the world now.
C3H80 lol
Dicio.. Hilarious bro.Awesum.
I thought that too
C3H80 hahaha. yes
When in the 90s I went by train from Moscow to Khabarovsk, then in Ulan-Ude (Buryatia) our train braked sharply at night and I fell down from the top bed. At that time there in the chamber was a built-in speaker, a power button and a volume control of the internal train-radio above the window . The train driver was a DJ and put in cassette tapes he liked. I remember that on the way back I layd about half a day on the top bed and looked thru the window at the boundless Lake Baikal listening to the Beatles hits :)
Goals.
Driver was a DJ 😆😆😆 👍
BACK IN THE USSR 🇷🇺
Oh wow. That sounds totally cool. Except the fall haha
Wow I visited Russia during the World Cup and took trains from Kazan to Moscow (16 hour train) and from Moscow to Rostov on don (24 hour train) and that was enough for me, I honestly don’t know how you guys manage to make it all the way without feeling bored. On the other side on the train from Moscow to Rostov I was in a cart full of Mexicans and we had a party at the restaurant all the way until they closed at 11, and drinking warm vodka tonics because there was no ice haha, great memories from Russia and the World Cup, I hope to be back one day!
Jesse Garibay that’s awesome haha. I’m Mexican American and I’ve been to Russia a few times. It seems like a difficult trip but I really want to experience this trip one day.
Probably because they are making money out of it. That helps you stop feeling bored
Russia did a fantastic job hosting the world cup: embassies processed 1000s of visas easily, and the city was really cleaned up before the game. They can really get their shit together for an event like this, and it seemed like there were no real problems during the game period. Kudos to Russia, you did an excellent job hosting the football, it should have made you all very proud of your country!
@@NinoNiemanThe1st in Russia clean and safe already 7-8 years, don't afraid come with us and better more connect with native people, expats in Russia now what good time can organize russians
Read book. Watch to window. I don't know, I never been bored in the train. And sleeping is so nice, it shake a bit and sounds TD, TD.
6:24 Nate:”Must find cold water. That’s the one thing we don’t have.”
*while walking past a cooler with giant bottles of water in it lol*
He wanted to record other shops😂
It looked like soft drinks/pop/soda/fizzy drinks.
“im gonna see if i can find some water”
*passes by water*
I was just about to write that 😂
hahaha I was seriously just about to post that as well.
Part of the appeal of long train journeys is eating in the restaurant car. It's surprisingly good, given the obvious limitations. Just ask the conductor for a key to your compartment when you leave to have dinner. Don't leave it unlocked.
I don't understand these "camping tricks" to keep the cost down. If you are going first class Transsibirian Railway, go for the full experience.
I remember the dinner cart! sweet jesus yes
@@57thorns correct, like the vid but they are eating crap, how expensive could it be $1 for two coffee's.
When you're young, this torture is considered an "adventure".
Gregg Hanson I used to think waiting in line at the TSA was fun
Boy do I wish I still had that mindset
Better than flying in a cramped area for ten hours 😄
i know!!!!
Hahahhaa
vampiresock not that bad whenever my legs hurt I just stand and I just watch movies and by the time I know it we arrived this is a 14 hour flight
I did this journey last summer and it was amazing. Thanks for bringing back such great memories.

Cool information 👍🏻

Lol
I was loling so hard watching him do that.
are you drinking cold water ?
I was about to comment that😂
"Acrylic" letter? LOL Cyrillic!!
Right? I was thinking the same... lol.
I think he meant like “a cyrillic letter” but as southern people say it, our words kind of just run together.
I died when he said acrylic
Alyssa McArthur You are digging yourself a deeper hole. “ An Cyrillic” ? I can’t think of a grammatical construct in the English language that has An before Cyrillic.
I just followed your lead to stereotype Southerners when you said “your words run together “ like that is even a thing. Now you are hot and heavy coming to bat for the guy in the video offering novel explanations on why someone would substitute Cyrillic for acrylic.
Thanks but I do get my fair share of pussy 😀
But I have to turn around and suggest the same to you if you are out batting and coming up with lame explanations for a guy who said something ignorant and moronic and put it out for the whole world to watch it.
I heard that and immediately burst out laughing. Silly Murricanski. LOL
I travelled on this route last year and had such a great time, I suffer from withdrawal symptoms. I have watched this video many times and I still love it.
Cristiano Ronaldo!
Atma Atma lol
I was just about to say that!
same XD
Oh Yes. :)) This is my first thought.
Cristiano before money
That is what I call first class on a budget, good job guys.
I love this vlog so much! I watched it for the first time last year just before I took my first of two trips on the Trans-Siberian. I have to say, getting to see the train ahead of time really helped me prepare better for my trip and alleviate some of my anxiety about the unknown. I had such a good time, I did it again this year and it was just as great!!
Ashley, really glad that you enjoyed it! Do you have any videos from your trip?:)
I did this trip. I usually got off at each stop and was careful to be back in time. One guy did miss it and his family had to get off at the next stop to reconnect with him.
The train has a clear schedule with how many minutes it stops in each station. You have to be a clueless moron not to have done any reading or research to keep asking the Provodnitsa in sign language. Oh and if you go to Russia and call yourself a travel vlogger and world traveler, learn some basic Russian.
This whole trip was epic fail and a guide for how not to do this epic train journey
I did this up and down ( nonstop 7 day on the Westbound train) and this whole video made me laugh.
Sam S Wow you are so cool and edgy
G Cool and Edgy?😀 Why? Because I inform myself before I visit a country and not act like a clueless wombat?
Not sure but I’ll take it LOL
Sam S yeah Sam you are so cool and edgy and I guess you can read every language and never make a mistake. The guy who missed the train was with family and two young kids. It was really unfortunate but I think they got it all sorted out. The train crew were really helpful. They definitely have an interesting story to tell people for the rest of their lives
James Lade What guy missed the train with two kids and what/who the fuck are you talking about?
I'd love to take the entire trans siberian someday, so this video was a great help of what to expect
Am I the only one that dreams of doing a trans-siberian trip?? I am so jealous!!
You're not alone 😁
Me too 😻
shortii12341 I thought so too, but it was like one week of watching birch tree forests, and occasionally a train station 😅🙈 Nice trains though
basically nothing to see, fields and the same type of trees, fields and trees, fields and trees fields and trees....
it would make sense if you stay at few cities for few days, stretch the 7 day trip into 14 days. It is cheap to stay in a basic hotel near any train station. You see and meet locals. Just taking 7 day trip from moscow to Vladivostok or Beijing without any stops ... is not recommended.
I didn't know I needed to travel on the Trans-Siberian Railway, but now I know I would love to!
arielle5555 I feel the exact same way!
Russia is a beautiful coutry 💙

I find it so funny how the comments are so nit picky and that Kara and Nate get bombarded with dislikes every video from annoying nit picky salty people . Like yeah they get to travel and do things. Yes they make you nit picky, boo hoo. That’s what happens when you work a 9-5, you are stuck watching people living the dream, so instead of disliking and wasting your time away, how about do something productive to be like them
You could get the mugs/spoons/forks for free and didn't have to buy coffee/tea to get it, just ask the conductor. Also, she has water so you don't have to spend money on buying it elsewhere (but not even every locals know that). There is a stops schedule inside a car on the wall. And nowadays we have biotoilets in every (or almost every) train they're much nicer than you had. And nowadays the majority of trains, which go in a long distance, have a shower in one or two cars so you can go there and take a shower for 2 or 3$ and there are 2 outlets for every sits not just in the first class but in second and sometimes in third also.
I am Russian an it's so much fun to look at this)) Good luck on ypur trip
Мария Суркова я тоже угараю 😂
During the Soviet era and later to the train stop came an old woman (babushka) and selling your homemade food: hot boiled potatoes, chicken, cottletes, pickles, pies. It was very tasty and not expensive. So it was on all stations. Generally the train is always the dining car
🌲🌲🌲Во времена ссср и позже к остановке поезда приходили бабушки и продавали свою домашнюю еду: горячую вареную картошку, котлеты, соленые огурчики, пирожки. Это было очень вкусно и не дорого. Так было на всех станциях. Вообще в поезде всегда есть вагон-ресторан
Also Katusha, the 'hot water dispenser' that Kara and Nate refer to is the ubiquitous Russian 'Samovar' that you see everywhere in the country. It's such a civilised thing: hot water available anytime. The train and the trip just sound fabulous! For Westerners, we imagine/fantasise about reading some of the great Russian writers (Dostoyevsky etc), while riding a train like the Trans-Siberian. Russia: a beautiful, fascinating country with its own incredible culture - we are in awe of your writers, and even musicians (Tschaikovsky, Mussgorsky etc) too. I just wish our government's could get along better too! But for average people in the West - we are fascinated by Russia, and most respectful and grateful of your contribution to the world of culture: writing, philosophy, and music!
В ближайшее время бабушки пропадут. Так как должны зарегестрироваться как ИП и платить налоги. Иначе штраф. Велком ту нью раша ))
Wrong Babushka is head dressing of older women
@@NinoNiemanThe1st thank you for the kind words!!! I'm from Russia.Of course, you're welcome.I guess, one day we won't have visas
Awesome adventure and video Nate & Kara!
My then wife and I took the Trans Siberian Railway from Moscow to Beijing in 1988 just before the fall of the former Soviet Union. Yes, I agree, it was a great adventure!
You probably learned more Russian, while you were on the train, than you let on to know but for your viewers… the hot water makers/ dispensers aboard each train car are called “samovars” and the beautiful ornate hot water glass holders are called “podstakanniks”. Regarding the Cyrillic alphabet, the upside down lower case “h” is pronounced “Che” as in the English word “chat”.
We too had reserved a First Class cabin but once we arrived to board our train in Moscow, they told us there were no more First Class cabins. Instead we ended up each getting a bunk in separate (yet adjacent) Second Class cabins. My wife with three Swedes and me with three Russian doctors going to China to work. We were the only Americans on the train. I was greatly upset, for about a day, that we weren’t able to get the kind of cabin we paid for but then I realized that this was an amazing blessing. If we had not been split up, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to get to know these three Russians as well as I did.
On the contrary, I found the others on the train friendly & willing to chat. The train appeared to be full of just Russians, Chinese and Swedes. As many of you are familiar, one of the benefits of train travel is you can walk and explore virtually all the cars on the train. This way you have the opportunity to meet more people than just those in your own train car. On one such exploration I even sat down to play game, played around the world, with a Russian… the game of chess. Check mate!
In regards to food and experiencing the culture, if & when you (viewers) do take your own trip on the Trans Siberian Railway… do pack some picnic supplies for the trip before you board but, by all means, take advantage of the dining car at least once and order up a delicious hot bowl of the Russian traditional soup… “Borscht”. If you’re not familiar, it is a beet soup with a dollop of sour cream on top. Also at each station along the Trans Siberian Railway there are vendors selling food.
The Russians we met were excited, with great anticipation, as we approached Lake Baikal, a massive ancient lake (deepest in the world). They appeared to have a very warm place in their hearts for this lake. At the station, many of the Russians bought packages of a favorite smoked fish of their’s (maybe called “omul”). One shared some with us.
My point, regarding the advice given in my last two paragraphs, is to be sure to sample the local food along the way. It’s an important part of experiencing the culture of any new
country. Очень хорошо!
In high school, I took this trip. It was a neat experience. I remember having to run to catch a train as it was moving. We had been told the wrong platform, eating in the dining car, and never be in the bathroom when the train stops!
Man can't believe I've been following these guys for 4 years. Seems like just not long ago I saw this video first
I'm from Mongolia! I hope you guys enjoy the ride :)
I don't know what rabbit hole I followed to stumble upon this video in the middle of a restless night back in Jan 2019, but I immediately fell in love with both of your beautiful personalities and had to know more! I started to watch from the beginning and now I'm back to where K&N all started for me! I'm sure you'll never read this, but just in case, I had to tell you how incredible you two are and how fantastic your vlogs are. I feel like I know you and am traveling with you! I am a young and busy mom of four little ones ages 7, 5, 4, and 2. We don't travel... So your vlogs are truly an adventure for me. And your happiness and positivity is so contagious! I've still got a ways to go before catching up to where y'all are today and I'm trying not to peek too much...Thanks for letting us travel with you! Be safe and God bless!!!
This is so odd. I never comment on anything...😂😂😂

I love how he said "we need water for this trip" as he passes a vending mishine with water!😆😆😆😂😂😂😂
That's because the video is all about indulging their obsession with themselves, what goes on in the back ground is an inconvenient diversion away from their own attention seeking hence why they speed up all the interesting passing through a foreign landscape part to get back to bellend in chief jumping up and down in front of a window.
So cool! a lot of Russian instant noodles )))) We hope you like our brownie because Kara looks i bit sad when she eat it )))
Also we have more new trains with shower, wifi and good toilets like in airplane!
+Gregory Obornev not sad at all! Thank you for the homemade brownies I got to eat for breakfast!!! 🤗 A new train with showers and wifi would have been extra fun👍🏻
What specific class or train wagons you mentioned were with wifi and good toilets?
eugene badere usually its firm trains with new coach. Also new coachs have airplane style toilets, shower, tv and sometimes wifi. You need check train before buy tickets manually.
I've seen a few travelers who have tried both Russian and Chinese instant noodles and I'm a bit surprised that they tend to like the Russian version more. Even in Russian MREs, the posters claim they taste better! One of these days, I need to get my hands on a few packs of those...

There are 2 "first classes" in the Russian railways: Deluxe - 2-berth compartment with a private shower and WC, and SV - you guys were traveling in. Good part of trains has shower service in the main wagon available for all passangers for additional fee. If you traveling from Moscow to Beijing you may choise between Russian and Chinese regular trains. Some people recommend the Mongolian train Moscow-Ulaan-Bator.
Great vedio I cannot believe how clean Russia looks… no litter or graffiti… Keep up the good work..Enjoy taveling with guys…Two thumbs up..
Ray Rayy there plenty of litter and graffiti.....they just haven’t visited those places. Or chose not to film it.

Travelling broadens our horizont. You guys are living your dream and that's great!
This was the video I found you guys through. Still most watched video. Congrats on 300K subs
Nice travels. But true ride is in 3rd class :D
correct 😀👍👌
We call it "place-card" /platskard/.
Not for me.
hah that's for sure
3й класс это скорее всего сидячий вагон или что подобное.
Вы такие позитивные. Привет из России, из С -Петербурга.
As a Russian born and raised in America, it's so cool to watch this.
i always come back and watch this video because it gives me such a comforting feeling idk why
When you go on trips you shouldn’t bring your own food. Experience the local food that they have there.
Joseph Stalin you starved your people. Your last person i thought would say that
Sometimes it is more expensive and the same like snacks etc.
In case someone found this comment, the 2nd class and 3rd calss on these are MISERABLE if your "roommates" are not nice. Unless you are super broke, DONT book 3rd class, I promise that you will not fall asleep during the first night.
There are carriages with seats like in airplanes (сидячий вагон / sidyachiy wagon / seated car?). They are quite fine if you're not traveling far. Otherwise, you're absolutely correct.
shawn li i need stories and examples
shawn li That is not true, I traveled in 3rd and 2nd class. Both was fine. 2nd of course better but I think 1st class is not worth the money. Transib is already expensive.
it only sucks if you dont get wasted. Trains are made to get fucked up and party with several cabins
I feel that if you only travel in first class you’re missing out on the experience tbh. In first class you won’t meet a lot of people I think. Especially not the locals, and I like spending time with locals. No first class for me when I’m going.
Thank you for a very interesting blog !!!!
In this train there is a restaurant in the car and there you can eat normally.
Thanks for that information, more than 1 day of oatmeal and ramen and I would want off right away.
Иван Храбров Nice! thanks!
Iwan chrabrow use latin alphabet
_repcaK_ why would you use the w to represent the v sound, isn't that only used in polish?
Nate says "I don't trust you to pour that!" LOL I missed that when watching this before. Hilarious!!!
i am from russia my self and its nice to see things have changed since i been there back in 2000
Hahaha even if you ordered 7 coffees by mistake I am sure Kara would finish them all in a couple hours. ..
guys.. you're supposed to drink vodka all the time during the trip..
Logan Lorenzo but in russia it is a cultural thing (vodka) most people make their own ( homemade)
This is nonsense.) If you drink alcohol you will be fined or disembarked at the nearest station.
And probably hacking the American election.
Oh, come on. Are you really believe in this shit about homemade vodka? Maybe you also think that bears play balalaika on the red square?
These stereotypes are really annoying.
For first class trip no...vodka is better for 3-d class...there is a big company of diferent people...more fun
Surfing UA-cam on a Sunday morning with my black coffee and I find this video (suggestion by UA-cam). For a moment I was in this train drinking my coffee with you.

What a lovely tour! I'm still impressed with only eating hot water things and powdered coffee. Also I totally understand the idea of being in one place for a bit. And the train doesn't look too bad! It's nice you all can catch up on some rest. I like following you all on Instagram. It's like I know the secrets of the upcoming videos... 😁😁
Haha glad you enjoy the insta stories! I did a lot of them on this train trip! :)
Doesn't look too bad? Damn, this one actually looks super-nice :)
Rachel Wolman. Mam can yuo please tell me how much it cost from moscow to valdinscop? In 2 nd class
On each carriage there's a train schedule that list all the stops through the train route, arrival/departure time, and how long the stop will be.
julianaayu Ok, one question: while the train is moving, can people transfer from one van to another just to check the whole train? I mean, just try to compare 1st, 2nd, and 3rd class, also the restaurant-dining- cafe.
Muditaranan Aleuyun Yes you can, sometimes the conductors will put a barrier on the door between carriages (during my time, a flag) but you can still go through it, depends on how strict the conductor is. Or you can just go out from one carriage and enter the other (I did that before). Again, it's all depend on how the conductors..
An advice from my experience, be super-friendly to the conductors and make them your best friend. It'll make your life on the train much easier.
Sorry, I thought you meant while the train is NOT moving. You can still move from one carriage to another even while the train is moving.
So I have a family of four. Maybe it would be nice for us to book a second class because we can still have the whole room to ourselves!
MY FAVORITE VLOG SO FAR WATCH IT OVER AND OVER
AND THIS RIGHT HERE was the first video ever I've seen from K&N... and after THIS first video.. I watched all of them and I'm following you since them in all your travels!! Kind of feeling part of your life :P THANK YOU!!
Nice! Im dreaming of a cross-Russia train trip with a friend in a wagon like this, hoping to meet some good people on the way! I remember a trip with my mother in the early 2000's and the wagon layout is identical!
I didn't know that this was a thing! I want to do this trip now! Off to watch day 2.
I did it last month. I would recommend you get a Chinese first class ticket. The train is slightly older but you get a sink and shower in the cabin. The Chinese staff are also friendlier than the Russians. Finally I wouldn't recommend you do more than three days on the train at a time. The train does start to stink a little after. Look at the "man in seat 61" website for more info.
Aku thanks so much for all of this info! Great that they have a sink and shower in the cabins with the other company! I'll definitely look into it all a bit further! :)
Maybe you yourself behaved not friendly and arrogant, so the reaction was the same to you. Many of you consider yourself the highest race to see the propaganda on TV
It is better when you learn the History of the construction of this train, and how the Czar's bragging of it's MILITARY potential of being able mobilize from Moscow to Vladivostok led to the Ruso-Japanese war. (influenced by ZIONIST jews out of New York. Also read the History of Jacob Schiff and his hatred for the Czar) Gigantic Russia LOST the War against the tiny island of Japan bc it was mostly a NAVAL WAR so much for the TRANS! LOL
losing this war Pissed off the Pop. of Russia. a fact that was Exploited by the Bolshevik jews in their Overthrow attempts of the Imperial Gov. (they eventually succeeded in 1917)
Last Year 2017 TWITTER had a "Live" Rehashing of events of 1917 by Fictitious Characters "re-living" the daily events of time. aptly called "1917" I'm sure it can still be found there
How many porridges do you have in your head. Without the official announcement of the war, the Japanese fleet attacked the Russian squadron on the outer roadstead of Port Arthur on January 27, 1904 led to the disabling of several of the strongest ships of the Russian squadron and ensured the unimpeded landing of Japanese troops in Korea in February 1904 Russia did not invade any country and attacked them !!!! And Japan began the war for the desire to dominate in Korea. And why America fought against Japan? Teach your story first! And now let's see how many countries America has destroyed! Only for 1661-1774 from Africa in the United States was imported about a million living slaves, and over nine million died on the road. The income of slavers from this operation in the prices of the middle of the XVIII century was not less than 2 billion dollars, astronomical at that time figure. American wars begin with the first attack on the Indians in 1622 in Jamestown, followed by a war with the Algocine Indians in New England in 1635-1636. and the war in 1675-1676, which ended in the destruction of almost half the cities in Massachusetts. Other wars and skirmishes with Indians continued until 1900. In total, Americans killed about 100 million Indians, which makes it possible to talk about a real genocide that far exceeds the mass murder of Jews by Hitler (4 to 6 million victims). Since 1945, they have destroyed 73 states and are responsible for the death of 26 million people. This is a horror film.
The train does have wifi...all of the new trains have wifi 😂 my family and I took the train and we were in the 2nd class we had wifi...it wasn’t too good but it did the trick...
I love that Nate kept calling the russian alphabet Acrylic. 🤣😭 thanks for that Nate!!
You guys never look tired you always look so fresh!!!!🌍🤩
I'm always craving more coffee when I watch your Vlogs lol!
That water dispenser is called samovar btw.
What about the in-train restaurant? Every inter-city train in Russia has it.
Was in a class-2 coupe back in 1995... for 7 days straight, with my family. I think the glass-holders, the water-heaters and the toilets are exactly the same - if not THE same from back then - or even way before then. The car-attendand and the station folk also look pretty much identical to what we had seen. Lots of memories though. =)))
Doing this next year solo. Can't wait. Your video was really helpful thank you 😊
Kicking back in my bed and going on this long journey with you guys!
Good Start, 1st Class is a must by the looks of it 😉 3rd Class!! 🤔 Sounds positively archaic! Yeah wise not to hop off & first Stop! Just Imagine, your scouting about, whistle blows, & don't make it back to train time.. It's holy s*** , in a foreign country, don't speak the lingo, gotta find a cab or someone, to chase train to the next calling point 😟 but looks like vendors are situated on same platform, so train still in eye shot! Enjoying..
There are 3d class carriages with seats like in airplanes. It's perfectly fine for up to 6 hours. And one can endure more. But, man, you do not want to travel in 3d class separate compartments. 15 years ago I've accidentally bought tickets to a separate compartment on my way home from St.Pete to Moscow. I still have nightmares about that trip.
Ребята, вам бы ещё попробовать самогон и сало настоящее) а ещё побывать в деревнях русских) приезжайте ещё в Россию)
