Re: Azerbaijan to Russia
I crossed from Azerbaijan (Quba) to Russia (Derbent) 2 days ago. From Quba, I got in a shared taxi to Samur for 10 manat (didn't bargain hard so you may get a better price). At the border, there is a huge queue of trucks but pedestrians or normal cars pass them. The Azeri side is quite quick, x-ray ...

Re: Caspian sea ferry updates & questions
I took the ferry from Aktau to Baku. Really recommend the use of marinetraffic.com, as you can easily see when a passenger ship is on the way from Baku to Aktau. I spent 2 days waiting for a boat. 8 (7292) 44 50 18 is the number of the ferry complex in Aktau. It can be useful in case you arrive in t...

Hi,
I have a beeline SIM card bought in Kyrgyzstan and I'm crossing tomorrow to Kazakhstan. Do you know if I can use it there?

Re: Embassy report : Russian visa in Shanghai
From an agency I got the voucher and also a paper detailing the program of my trip.
About plane tickets, I only had the way out. On the program of my trip it was specified "crossing Russian border by train" so I didn't need to show any ticket.

Re: Irkeshtam pass report – Kashgar, Xinjiang to Sary Tash, Kyrgyzstan

So your chances of sharing a taxi are good at this time of the year. 400 yuans/car from Chinese checkpoint to the border and then 8000 som/car from the border to Osh Just take the...

Embassy report : Russian visa in Shanghai
Hi, Here is my experience for getting a tourist visa in Shanghai (but I guess it's the same in every russian consulates/embassy of China) First, if your Chinese visa is not valid for at least 90 consecutive days, the processing time of getting a visa will be 10 working days. The price of tourist vis...
