Siberia

My knowledge about Siberia is pretty limited. The things that come to my mind are mainly things that I still remember from Geography classes in high school. We learned about the low population density and the harsh weather conditions which make it a harder environment to live in. If I remember right this is also a reason why most people live in cities rather than in the country.

The other thing that interests me in Siberia is the Trans-Siberian Railway. It is one of the things on my list I want to see and it is a great way to see the different landscapes and cities in Siberia all the way to China. Maybe some of the students have been on this train and can tell us what it is like.

What I am really interested in is what they think about living on the Asian continent, while most of their country's population lives in Europe and in how far it affects them.
