Crossing from Mongolia into Russia

The Kazakh - Chinese border was tough but relatively fast (as mentioned earlier), the Mongolian - Russian was very easy but incredibly slow. There were no boogeys to change this time (we did this at the Chinese - Mongolian border as they use different sizes) and they only had a brief look at our passports. Nevertheless they made it to take over 10 hours!!! We were entertained by Mongols who smuggle T-Shirts and faked Croc shoes. Amazing how they spread these goods all over the train and even tape them onto their legs below the clothes (sounds great when they walk as they let the plastic cover of the shirts on). As soon as the border checks are over they leave the train (in the middle of nowhere).
