The reservation page of the train ticket - saying that I'm taking train 004Z (0043A), am in carriage #9, am traveling in 1st class, and have berths 11 and 12. Some friends were considering going with me & we initially thought it might be five or six people going along - but it turns out I'm going by myself. I still bought two tickets - it's a long way and I thought it would be nice to have a little privacy. Granted, some folks say that the company you keep is part of the adventure, but I still decided to have my own compartment. Time will tell whether this was a good thing or bad thing. The ticket also says I'm going from Moscow (Moskva) to Beijing (Pekin).
