Day 6 (June 26) Khabarovsk to Chita by overnight train on day 2)
On this 2nd day and night of the overnight train from Khabarovsk to Chita, it was just drinking and eating all day long. A can of beer is only RM3.50 and a bottle of vodka is about RM20.00. We had so much drink that most of us passed out. The car was very quiet and most of us went to sleep and waited for the next drinking session. Our party of 20 filled 5 complete 4-in-1 cabins, representing more than half of the 9 cabins in our carriage.
Drinks and food are sold on board the train.
