노버시버르스크- 옴스크 ,, 등

[Seoul Joe]

어제 , Novosibirsk 를 10시에 출발 ,, 720KM ,, 차로도 ,, 10 시간 30분 거리 , 중간에서 잘려고 계흭 했는대 ,,  햋빛이 너부 아름다워 계속 ,,  석양을 계속 보며 아직도 훤한 밤 12시에 도착 ,, 역시 시곳 80KM 이상 놀수가 없는 도로 상황 ,, 다른 adventure 바이커들은 110-140 씽씽 ,, 부럽대 ,, 허지만 재수 없어서 ,, 이상한 턱에 걸리면 저승사자 , 그리고 역시 턱들은 많었다 ,, 쾅쾅 찍는 ,, 

러시아 에서 3번째로 큰 Novosibirsk (Moscow 1 St. Petersburg 2) 를 하루만에 떠난것이 좀 아쉬웠지만 ,, 잘몿하면 ,, 3-4일 발이 묵일 곳이다 ,,  완전 유럽풍의 대 도시다 ,, 역시 강가에 ,, 

Left Novosibirsk at 10 AM ,, 720 km ,, with car takes about 10 hours and 30 minutes ,,  wanted stay over night in a motel some where ,, but the light in the sky and the sunset ,, kept on pushing and arrived at the hotel in Omsk at midnight. Again top speed of 80KMH,, Other sports bikers went by me at 110-140 KMH ,,enviously ,,, but the perils of catching bad lip on the road can send you to the other world fairly quick. And there were many of these lips ,, Bad ones.

Leaving Novosibirsk the third largest city in Russia, with only one day felt amiss ,, but I knew had I stayed it will take at least three days to get to know a city. (Moscow 1 St.Petersburg 2)  Very European city on the river.

시베리아 횡단에 ,, 몇군대의 이정표가 있다 ,, 

하나는 Chita - Ulan Ude 구간 ,, 여기 는 몽고권이다 ,, 또 Chita 가기전 Mogocha 는 바이커 들이 많이 살해된는 곳이다 ,, 

다음은 Omsk ,, 여기서 부터 카작스탄의 머리를 웃돌며 유로 존으로 ,, 길가에 모텔 사인도 많고 숙식 도 쉽개 해결되고 ,, 사람들도 밝고 ,, 

Doing trans-Siberia on the bike ,, few places are sort of landmarks ,, 

One is Chita - Ulan Ude ,, this is Mongol territory ,, another one is Mogocha, where many bikers get murdered.

Omsk is biggest turning point ,,where you head up north to by pass the head of Kazakstan ,, and go into the Euro zone ,, food and lodging becomes much easier on the road sign ,,, people friendlier 

Siberia ,, it's been like this from the very beginning ,, huge lfields ,, woodlands ,, 

This is 11PM at night ! 

Entering Omsk ,, it could be the Promenade des Anglais in Nice ,, 

Vie from  River Park Hotel in Novosibirsk ,, 

A Russian Biker from Sochi was heading out to Vladivostok ,, Staying at same hotel,,, we chatted for a while.

Women, children and old men ,, come out of the middle of no where ,, to sell blue berries on the road side. 

A private prayer room at a cafe... this is where people eat ,, stock up on water ,,, go to toilet etc.

Fantastic sky and lights ,, it could be Provence ,,  Cape Cod ,, 

Found a shadow to lay and doze off for few minutes ,, 

The trailer belonged to these poor guys ,, who had ripped apart the engine to replace a broken piston ,, right on the road.

Omsk biker, whom I've met at the Barnaul Bike Fest ,, Mad Dog is his name.
