You're welcome!

There are small villages along the route and if you ask around for a "gostinitsa" you'll be pointed to somebody's house that doubles as the local hotel. Around $5-$7/night, but don't expect much more than a bed and a decent meal. As the Lonely Planet puts it "the only stars you'll see are the ones on the way to the latrine".

About Mongolia, I just did an east-west crossing and crossed at the new NW border (Tsaaganuur/Tashanta) and traveled alone with no GPS. Just map and compass. It works good enough. Only got lost for a day and a half in the Gobi. Cary extra water if you will go down there.

Good luck!

Hi all,

how's the language problem? Can you get along with English or is it just "hans & feet" unless your good in Russian lingo?

No, not "samiy blizkiy".
"blijaishiy" ("áëèæàéøèé") is correct. http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/ubb/smile.gif
