I finally got my passport back with a shiny red Russian Federation visa posted in one of the pages! Thankfully everything was completed in time...now I just have to figure out how to pack like a minimalist...and minimalist is NOT my middle name. I have to pack for site-seeing in Praha, teaching in Irkutsk, lounging out on very long plane rides...3 weeks in one suitcase, weighing less than 20 kg. Not my forte to say the least! I think back and still don't understand how I was able to pack ONE suitcase for the 6 months that I lived in Australia! Or ONE backpack for 8 weeks of backpacking! I just went and bought a pile of "travel" size products...and of course did some calculations on how long my contact solution would last based on the exact amount that I use on a regular basis (~ 6mL/day...ya I'm a nerd). Here's hoping I can channel my inner backpacker so that I can pack light but still travel in style!

Yay!! you got your visa! did you take into account that Siberia is kinda cold? or is it ok right now? Just remember the lighter you pack..the more stuff you can buy there and bring back :)
Excited to hear about your travels and experiences in siberia - lord knows I probably won't make it over there in this lifetime! have fun!
