**** I (Smith) have also discovered a train called the Sibirjak (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sibirjak) that goes from Berlin to many interesting places: Novosibirsk, Kazan, Astana and the Russian-Abkhaz border to name a few options

***** Alas, it runs weekly, so pick only one interesting place. (My vote would be Astana)

****** Yeah, that's what I was trying to clarify by referring to options. Perhaps I should have been more perfectly clear

* Soviet Central Asia, China and Mongolia are also interesting places if we wish to go somewhere exotic

** Combining this and the above, I (Smith) note that one can go from Moscow to Beijing by starting out on the Trans-Siberian and changing at Tarskaya, and that this is in fact substantially shorter than going all the way to Vladivostok (a city that appears to have almost exactly the same level of merit as a destination in its own right as the Snowdon Summit Restaurant)
