Yes, it was a 15-hour train ride and I shared my compartment with Maria a 62-year old Ukrainian who snored loudly. Despite our apparent linguistic disconnect (she speaks Russian, Ukrainian and German) and I understand a little German via Yiddish we communicated! We drew pictures, I taught her yoga and pilates stretches, shared tea, discussed how little sex she's had in recent years and laughed our heads off!
