D79 - Novosibirsk

Aug28 - Day79 - Novosibirsk - Km8493

Ara si que puc dir que soc a Siberia. Novosibirsk n'es la ciutat mes gran i la capital. Fundada l'any 1893 durant la construccio de la linea de tren del Transiberia i despres consolidada com a nus ferroviari amb la nova construccio de la linea que uneix Russia i Kazakhstan al sud. Avui te gairebe 2 milions d'habitants i una gran oferta d'oci que sorpren agradablement. La ciutat esta dividida en dos pel riu Ob, un dels mes grans de Russia amb 3650km de longitud, neix a les muntanyes Altai i recorre Siberia de sud a nord fins l'Ocea Artic. Arribo a l'estacio a mitja tarda, el meu contacte no hi es, truco Olessia i al cap de 20 minuts arriba Maxim. Pel cami m'explica amnb poques paraules que ha estat a la Costa Brava 2 vegades, ja no em sorpren, es una destinacio popular entre els rusos. Maxim es callat i serios, quan arribem al pis em demana mes diners dels acordats, em queixo i es posa de mal humor i crida, finalment insisteixo i arribem a un acord. No es un bon comencament a Novosibirsk.

Novosibirsk, now the biggest city in Siberia and considered its capital, was founded in 1893 due to the construction of the Transiberian Railway. It is a crucial transport link between Asia and Europe. Today is surprisingly bright and stylish city with 1.9 million inhabitants. Situated on boths sides of the Ob river, the country fourth largest with its 3650km length. I arrive in the afternoon, is cold today: +8C. Maxim is not at the train station, I call Olessia to tell her that I arrived already. Maxim will be there in 20 minutes. He brings me to the appartment but asked for 300 rubles (9EUR) extra per night. Is not a good beginning, I try to bargain and we get an agreement somewhere in between both of us. The flat is in the very center, a bit expensive but well located.
