Siberian qualifier.

I checked the transport schedule online, and it turns out it's a real problem to get from here to Barnaul and back on the dates I need... The train runs every other day, arriving at 6 am on even-numbered days, and the return trip is even worse. There are no direct buses at all. So, in terms of transportation, it would definitely be better if I were going to Novosibirsk, because right now I don't see any acceptable options.
