Now this I like a lot. If anyone is a bit bored they can travel the full length of the Trans Siberian Railway – in real time.

I kid you not, settle back and watch: http://www.google.ru/intl/ru/landing/transsib/en.html

You can even elect whether to hear the noise of the wheels, listen to Russian radio or hear War and peace read to you.

Bon voyage, and let me know if you spot any birds on the way!
