Traveling

The earth is huge. Traveling from one corner of the earth to another will take days. This is excluding the time that is consummated for site-seeing, topping up fuel and other stuff relevant to the above situation. The approximate time to travel from California to Philadelphia itself would take around about 21 hours; excluding stops for any sort. If that is long, then imagine traveling from Moscow to Beringovskiy. It would literally take days, as some parts of Russia are virtually inaccessible by road vehicles. Thus, snow mobiles or helicopters are a must if you want to get around the remote parts of Russia. If you were to make your way through the snow cloaked forests of Russia, it would probably best to bring along something that will be able to keep you warm(a thick cloak) and something that will be able to protect you(an AK-47 or other kinds of reliable sniper rifles). For if you do not bring these along, you'd either die of frost bite or probably get mauled by a Siberian Tiger. If you ask me, the best possible alternative to make your way through Russia is via snow mobile. With the aid of a snow mobile, you'd be able to catch a great 1st person's view of the Russian Pine Forest, which you as a tourist wouldn't want to miss. But be sure to look out for powder snow, for you would not want to ride your snow mobile above one of those. Trust me.

Now let us talk more of the Sahara Desert. Possibly one of the driest places on the earth. At over, 9000000 square kilometers, it covers the most of Northern Africa, and is almost as big as the States. This is one place you would not want to take your wife to for you honeymoon. Not many tribes reside in the harsh environment of the Sahara Desert, due to the lack of water and rain that it receives all year long. But there are a few tribes that dwell in this almost inhospitable desert, and they are so named; The Berber people, the Tuarag Pastoralists and the Beja. Them previously stated tribes are the only three that I can recall staying amidst the third largest desert. If you wanted to go on a holiday to the Sahara Desert, be sure you bring along a GPS(A Global Positioning Satellite), light Snake-proof boots and lots and lots of drinking water. You can however obtain water from the very few plants that are built to withstand the seemingly unbearable conditions of the Sahara Desert. But the quantity of water that you'll be able to obtain from those plants are very little. Also, bring along sun-block, if you do not wanna get sunburn. By the way, this is just a fun fact for you guys; a human being can live up to three to four days in the absence of water. So if you're lost in the Sahara Desert without water supply, then make sure you get out of there within three to four days.
