1. When you're on a moving train, it's incredibly hard to get rid of small, easily soluble objects.

Having been in a similar situation, it's not atypical for a Russian ticket agent or idiot tour guide to pull the bait-and-switch on you and give you a 4-person cabin when you reserved and were promised a 2-person cabin. Fortunately, in my case, I at least knew the other two people, even if the situation wasn't 'ideal.' As depicted in the movie, for some reason many of the windows actually do NOT open and the berths are suffocatingly hot, while the bathrooms are freezing (and filthy). The bathrooms do stink as well. And if you take such a trip, make sure you get one of those special locks that prevents people from entering your cabin late at night from the outside, even if your cabin is 'locked.'
I also disagree with the first poster. I don't think the blood was fresh and liquid on the knife. Second, while I agree Jesse should have deleted the pictures earlier, there was a scene that showed she forgot to wipe off the blood on her jacket, and even when she tried, it still stained the jacket. -

- It is cold enough in Siberia to quick-freeze the entirety of a dead and dining Russian and his meal, but not cold enough to cause barefooted American tourists to experience an ounce of frostbite following a fairly extensive run in the snow.
- (In regard to #34) The snow in Siberia is made with the same variety of warm ice water that Jack and Rose ran through during the sinking of the "Titanic."
- The best way for a "bad girl" to try and cure the error of her wild ways is to crash into and marry (hence ruin) the life of a stereotypically nerdy and religious train enthusiast that loves her no matter how much she lies or cheats or forgets about him while traveling.

- Kevin Smith should write something witty here.
- Never pet a police dog. It upsets the dog and the policeman.
- Ben Kingsley's nose is becoming gigantic.
- Don't just bring an eyemask to sleep on the Transsiberian Express; bring ear plugs too!
- Shoot the stupid American husband in the kneecap immediately when you suggest it, otherwise he'll get away.
- Roy is much better as a deranged maniac than a wimpy husband (Natural Born Killers)
- -23 degree sex rarely turns out welltrust me!

- Wolves and scavengers rarely disturb freshly killed cadavers in the deep winter.
- A 20 year old American girl who has just been tortured severely and maimed for life will not be suffering from debilitating PTSD but rather will have the mental fortitude to hike through the freezing, Siberian country side to steal back money from the dead body of her boyfriend.
- A 20 year old American girl that sticks out like a sore thumb and doesn't speak the language will be able to escape Russia with millions in stolen drug money and then be able to launder it when she gets to her destination without alerting any suspicion from police or the Russian Mob.
- The Russian Mob would not attempt to retrace the steps of an American and Spaniard who went trapsing through the Siberian Forrest. They wouldn't question the townspeople of the little village. They would dismantle an entire train and try to force out information with torture from the guy who is oblivious to everything.
- Everyone in Russia speaks English, whether you're a laborer, cop, hotel desk clerk, or Mob enforcer. It also doesn't matter if you're French or Spanish you still speak perfect English. Unless of course you're a porter employed in customer service.
- If you're wife is a recovering narcotic addict nymphomaniac you're going to get really mad at her for smoking.
- Super nerdy, religious, train enthusiasts get really drunk every chance they get.
- If you don't speak Russian and the train personnel don't speak English you can easily explain that you missed your train and you need to gain passage on the very next train.

- Russians make you tea when you ask them for a bathroom
- they also get ballistic for no apparent reason - the stewardess started shouting because they wanted to know where the toilet is, then there was that dude in the bathroom when Jessie was looking for Roy
- the transsiberian - as popular as it is worldwide - can accommodate only three americans at a time and personnel (almost without fail) does not speak any languages
- french people are awkward and evil, but they give you booze
- when you've just killed a girl's boyfriend, leave her chopped up in subzero temperature
- it is easier to open a russian train door than to draw a curtain - no effort is required whatsoever
- even if russians and spanish people speak english, they reply in their mother tongue first just for the good craic
- to get a train moving backwards, push a bunch of random buttons
- it's ok to walk past a room in your hotel and see two (supposedly) policemen beat up some random guy. it's an everyday situation, so just go sightseeing and don't even mention it to anybody
- russian snow is attracted to freshly killed people - in the scene after J killed C, he's covered in snow, while she's just got a few flakes in her hair dumb?
there's nothing to life but just the living of it. It Is What It Is and That's All It Is.

66-Drunk Russian yokels are familiar with John Deere Lawn Mowers and associated puns.
67-Seattle is a "nowhere" town that grunge girls runaway from, heading for the excitement of frozen Siberia.
68-When rushing to help survivors of a train collision, everyone should bring rifles instead of tools, flashlights or first aid kits. -

- When you travel through tousands miles of russian land, the people who annoy you on the train are Polish people, Pollacks as described in the movie. Although Siberia, Irkutsk itself is like 7000 km from Poland and there is probably no Polish guy in the area of next 3000-5000 kms, in the movie there are so many Poles to interrupt you in the compartment that you repeat it 3 or 4 times.
