How do you imagine Siberia?
As I'm a girl who lives in Siberia, I would really like to know what people from other countries think about Siberia. I've traveled quite a lot, been to Europe and America, and was extremely surprised to know how people usually imagine Siberia! Somebody was sure we have bears walking in the streets, or live in huts made of snow....Others believed that all the territory is covered with snow all the year round....So what do YOU think about Siberia? Just curious!:)

Hi Natasha,
I associate Siberia with the exile of Poles and Russians throughout the centuries, working camps (lagrs?), suffering of many people, etc.

Thank you for the pictures, Glorius. The buildings are large and modern. It's a beautiful city but I see few people in the photos. That convey a bit strange image of unfamilliar sight to me. To the eye of a Japanese who is used to being in crams, it looks like a ghost town. (Sorry, it's your hometown?)

I guess, it's common to far north, I mean, the northern part of Siberia, closer to the Polar Circle..
