Yes, the videos are a great marketing tool for those who are selling Siberian trips. Watching it actually makes me want to go again! Well worth the journey if anyone is interested, and it can be done at a very reasonable cost if you go on the normal train, or at a very high price but with infinitely more luxury on the tourist train; both trains see the same scenery though.

And what I want is what you can never get on film; The interaction with people, the smells, the taste of travel. But yes, it certainly works as a trigger!

But in no way do they make up for really being there. I think the videos are great for when you are unable to travel and need a dose of a far away land.

Haven't done the trip myself, though I know the videos are certainly no substitute for the real thing! Would love to do it actually. These videos create a kind of 'realness' to the Trans-Siberian Railway, though. I like it. Makes it seem like an *actual* place that exists, you know? Wow, those videos are kind of amazing.
