The trans siberian railway info needed
I've been thinking about riding the TSR across Russia for some time now. While I don't have any immediate plans on going on the adventure, I'm interested if there is much action going on on the train. Very little if anything like that is mentioned in the travel guides. It would be nice to have warm body or two lying next to me. Any of your detailed exploits would be appreciated.

Ulyanovsk, and cheap thrills in the provinces
Ulyanovsk is a crappy town, full of rotting wooden buildings and people who still think Lenin was the best. But the *****s are cheap. Around 11 p.m. at the hotel Venets (all spellings appx. of course) the phones start ringing up and down the hallway. Starting price: 4000 rb all night. After haggling, my girl got 1000 rb for a very long night's work. The only hidden costs were 70 rb for a long taxi ride (don't you love the provinces?) and 140 rb for a bottle of foul wine which was so awful that I didn't take more than a sip -- she pound back the whole thing herself. She was an unemployed midwife, 26 years old, living in your typically hellish apartment in the suburbs. We went to her place because the hotel has recently started cracking down on the flesh trade, installing security cameras to make sure all comings and goings are noted, and thus requiring more expensive bribes.
The girl herself wasn't anything special. She was probably lying about her age, and years of this work combined with an abortion meant she was pretty loose. But she had real appeal as a classic *****, with a giant black wig covering her straggly shoulder-length hair, too much red on her Angelina Jolie lips, way too much eyeshadow. Perky, ample breasts were the redeeming feature, along with her enthusiasm and endurance. She showed me a picture of her (much hotter) blonde friend and said they sometimes work as a tandem. I never found time to take her up on the offer, but I've still got her mobile number if you're interested.
