Well, I am back from Siberia. I kind of liked it, but really there is not much to it. The city I visited was Novosibirsk. I did not have a chance to see the city itself much because I was on a business trip, but one of the days I was there I went out and about to look at my company's competitors, so I got to see a bit of a city from the car :) Anyway, I was not too impressed, the city was dusty, dirty and the roads were in horrible condition. But the weather was perfect, it was about 50F, which is pretty good for Siberia even in April.
I was initially supposed to go to 2 cities in Siberia, but my plans had to change because the plane that goes from Novosibirsk to Krasnoyarsk (about 600 km apart, both located in Siberia) was overbooked. Actually, the plane only held about 30 people and it was quite funny, my colleagues said that it had 2 little propellers and they were a little afraid for their lives :) I am glad that my company bought the last 10 tickets to the plane before I actually decided to go :)
Anyway, the trip was good, very successful work-wise, but it just proved to me once more that I am not cut out for traveling for work :) Thank God I am not a consultant :)

Yeah I bet those propellers were driven by old rubberbands on top of it. I think it is a good thing you didn't get on that rinky-dinky plane that way I can be sure I still have a wife!
