Seb,
Good to hear the wikitrain is running again!
Book your Belarus, Russia, Mongolia, and China visas early.
I would've joined but I can't get myself organised enough to apply for a HK passport when I visited my parents there for Christmas, so I'm afraid I won't be on the wikitrain this year. (UK and Russia have practically severed relations so it's hard for Brits to get Russia visas now)

Hello, Добрый день,
Three years ago some crazy Wikimedians (whose I was) travelled by train through Europe to join Gdańsk for Wikimania.
This year I intend to join Wikimania Hong Kong by train from France, mainly with the Trans-Siberian Railway and the Chinese trains. The travel can take a minimum of about 2 weeks (of intensive train :), but it would be more comfortable to take more time; the price seems to be about 300-400 € (+food, visas, etc…), so probably less or similar than the airtravel of ~800 €.
Does anyone is interested to join me? You have time if you want think about. If we are some people interested in Europe, we could join in Deutschland before continuing the 10k km :)
~ Seb35 [^_^]
