The most amazing thing about your trip is how anyone can “ hold it in “ for days at a time!
When you arrived at “proper facilities”, it must have been a heavenly experience indeed.
You have no idea 😉 Unfortunately I couldn’t keep up my streak and ended up having to go on the 4th train ride, just 10 minutes short of arriving in Beijing.
Great post Ricky! Curious to know how the immigration experience was like in Mongolia and China.
From Russia to Mongolia, we stayed in our compartments while the immigration and customs officers came on board to inspect our documents.
Leaving Mongolia was a similar experience. However, upon entering China, we all had to get off the train and go through an immigration facility (presumably because of the break-of-gauge and the change of bogies).
I’ll cover this in more detail during my in-depth reviews.
