Like the bus rides, the train rides were all journeys were the train might stopped for few minutes ore even hours during those I could leave the train or even have a short stroll around the town. This was particularly the case for the train ride from Beijing to Moscow since it involved two border crossings and in one occasion the changing of the complete undercarriage. Never the less, all train rides were journeys were I bought a single ticket.
