Goodbye, Irkutsk!

After about a month, I am excited to say that I am getting on my next train for my next Russian city this morning! Irkutsk was amazing, and the material that I’ve collected here will definitely form the central aspect of my eventual thesis. Pro tip to anyone trying to learn Russian: come to Irkutsk, almost no one speaks English so you will use your Russian even in situations where you are wildly uncomfortable doing so. These pictures are just some extras I have from the city, including a very good group of stray dogs. Next up is Vladivostok- but first I have a nearly 4 day train ride. Stay tuned to see if I go insane by day 3!
