Train Irkustk-Moscow

Take 8 young back papers from 5 different countries. Lock them up during 80 hours in one transsiberian compartment and look what happens.
Crazy journey during 3 nights across Russia.
Cultural exchange (dirty words, drinking games,...), stupid games and a lot of fun.
Feels like back in high school...
Train nearly missed in Mariinsk.
Almost sad to get off in Moscow.
