Why now? Why at all? Well, I have decided to go on an adventure of a lifetime, traveling half way across the world via the Trans-Siberian rail! It's something I have been looking to do only recently and never had the inclination to travel across &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Europe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; and into &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Asia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;But while sat in my rather fetching Hotel room overlooking the engineering masterpiece that is the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Forth&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Rail&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Bridge&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; I think, there&amp;rsquo;s a lot more to this world that just the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;UK&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;.  I have traveled the length and breath of the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;UK&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; with work, seeing many different ways of life, from the very south of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;England&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; all the way up to the far reaches of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Scotland&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; and I feel it's just the right time to see the ever changing world in which we reside.  &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;My journey will take me from &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Wigan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;London&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Cologne&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Moscow&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Beijing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; all via train and taking the longest train journey in the world on board, the Trans-Siberian express.  I always think of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Outer Mongolia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; being a phrase that we all use to describe somewhere in the middle of no where but stop right there, I shall be traveling through the place!  This excites me, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Russia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Mongolia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; and the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Gobi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Desert&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;, what more can someone ask for and all this on a train!&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Well, my planning has already begun, a hotel for the last leg of my journey in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Beijing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; has been reserved, the rest is yet to come......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
