Siberia

    Try to find out where this photo was taken!!!

Emerging from under the bridge and reaching the top of the slope beyond, I was startled by a sign that came into view. It was a shamrock! What on earth was it doing there? And what was it for? Near the sign I came to a store and gasped in astonishment ? The Shamrock Irish Pub, Novosibirsk.
Draft Guinness on tap right in the middle of Siberia. This was truly a miracle.
All I could think was that a reward for my having cycled this far had miraculously floated down to earth from heaven. I was saved. (It is believed that the closer you are to the Guinness brewery in Dublin, the fresher and hence more delicious the Guinness is. This is a fact. Novosibirsk was about half way between Osaka and Dublin and I can confirm the Novosibirsk Guinness is about twice as delicious as the Guinness in Osaka. I cycled there so I should know.)
