One of the many things I love about Russia is the train system. You can easily travel great distances at a very affordable price.
Since Russia is the largest country on Earth, you can imagine that cities are very far away from each other. But this is not a problem when you can sleep in a bed or relax at a table and watch the scenery while travelling.
Recently my wife and daughter travelled by train with a dancing school for a competition. They spent around 30 hours on the train across Siberia.
Of course, it wasn't totally boring! They had a great time playing games, singing songs and eating ice cream. At each train station along the way there were peddlers selling all different things: fur hats, toys, dried fish, pastries and much more.
What a great way to see the country and experience the culture!

Yum! I love pancakes!
In the holidays, I cooked some pancakes.
In Australia, we make thick pancakes! Russian pancakes are very thin. They are called bliny (блины) here. I like them too.
Usually, we have honey, cream, butter or jam on our pancakes. Maple syrup is also a popular choice.
Look at my pancake, I made it myself!
