Rails Of Russia

The Trans siberian railway from Beijing/Vladivostok to St. Petersburg or vice versa. It´s 9289 km from Moscow to Vladivostok, and 7622 km between Beijing and the Russian capital. To traverse the great distance between Beijing and Moscow you need more or less six days. According to a Finnish friend of mine (she decided to go countryside when moving back to Finland after a year in Hongkong. (I have the feeling that three days might have been more than enough)) you´ll get a view of pretty much every tree in Russia during the quite monotonous travel. The only interruption is the green fields of Mongolia, and a few hours of outback China.

The little shape of dotted line is Lake Baikal, despite a small surface area the lake contains more (fresh)water than any other lake in the world. In other words, very deep. A population of freshwater seals enjoys life here. The other bigger shape of dotted line is the Caspian Sea, the largest enclosed body of water on Earth by area.

Foodtish

Imagine if it was possible to "beam" food from different parts of the world, like the characters in Star Trek do in space. As an online service. You just select your food of preference from an international internet menu, and push: Order. Voila! Two seconds later a plate with todays dinner appear in front of you. Perfect solution if the target group is people like me; wannabe-chefs-without-success, anti grocery store shopping and spends too much time in school..(without actually doing anything).

PS: Had to go black`n`white, the food just looked so disgusting in color, even though being Japanese and tasting like heaven.
