good morning guys I'm waiting for the
announcements to stop but I realized
we're in Moscow and that's probably
never gonna happen I am in Kirksey
Terminal one of five or six railway
stations in Moscow and this is actually
the one that I arrived here two from
usually Novgorod and simultaneously got
lost in like I haven't been lost in a
train terminal since like three years
ago in Paris where that was just nuts
but usually I can find my way around and
I got totally lost here even though I
can read the language so that's just how
big it is today what's happening is I am
taking the fastest train that I guess
they have here in Russia called the sub
Sun it's gonna be taking me to st.
Petersburg and I guess the journey only
takes like four hours when usually it
would be an overnight journey so I think
this is actually my most expensive
ticket so far on this trip I think I
paid approximately like 65 Canadian
dollars maybe about 50 American and for
a four-hour journey that's definitely on
the expensive side I wanted to see if it
was anything like the Shinkansen in
Tokyo and with the amenities were kind
of like oh let's get into this station
and hopefully I don't get lost again
oh great there is that lineup to get in
wonderful
make sure you arrive early by the way
that's the first thing I'll say so here
we are inside the station of my train is
right at the top actually leaving at 980
to st. Petersburg it's on the first
platform where that first platform is
I'm not quite sure yet but we are here
like 4050 minutes early so hopefully
we're going to be alright
[Music]
so I spoke too soon um weirdest thing
has never happened before
I'm waiting on platform one right the
Sun above me says my train named my
train number like arriving soon and a
lady walks by that works here and it's
like are you waiting to get on the sub
Sun and I was like yeah she's like oh
it's on the other like end of the
platform I'm like what so I guess that
depending on which train is it stops at
different ends of the platform because I
guess the platforms are so long they do
seem kind of double what they usually
are so maybe they actually at some point
have two trains on the same path
whoa it snuck up behind me as I was
going the other way and came from here
yeah you guys this looks actually very
similar to Shinkansen trains in Tokyo
and much nicer than lost the chika which
is the high-speed train that I took here
from usually no good but yeah this
actually looks way more fancy I'm
excited
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
well guys that was an interesting
journey for many reasons I'll get into
the train in just a second but I was
reading my guidebook and I discovered a
big mistake that I made I think it's
okay but I'm sure glad I figured that
out now that in a week when I'm going
back to Ukraine so I'm actually gonna
make a full video on what could have
been a very bad situation so you guys
can now hopefully not make the same
mistake hate to leave you hanging but I
really can't just brush off the mood
that I'm in and pretend and it was an
amazing train and everything was great
we're literally half of it I was like
panicking and so back to the Train it
was a really good journey I was very
impressed with the amenities I think it
was going over 200 kilometers an hour
most of the time and was very
comfortable and I loved actually how
quiet everybody was how peaceful it was
that's why I kind of didn't vlog while
we were moving but I would highly
recommend like if you are looking to get
in between cities really fast and aren't
a fan of the overnight sort of trains I
would say that this is by far your best
option if you're staying in the more
western part of russia obviously they
don't go all in the cross brush for this
particular train there's obviously nicer
trains that go all the way to bloody bus
stop but anyways I would highly
recommend it ten out of ten
was very impressed very comparable to
the Shinkansen anyways and I hope you
guys enjoyed the video let me know in
the comments down below if you've ever
been on the south side or just
high-speed trains in general and I hope
keeps you guys updated with my situation
so wish me luck and keeping your own
kind of beautiful bye guys
