Добро пожаловать в Сибирю.

Can someone confirm for me that the above is the correct spelling and idiom for the equivalent to "Welcome to Siberia"?

I have an LJ-friend in Russia, I'll make a post in my LJ and ask him.

Suprisingly enough, but Russian isn't one of my stronger subjects - I've never done much if any studying of Slavonic languages

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure it is right. The Russian spell-checker in Word likes it and a Google search on «Добро пожаловать в» brings up about a million web pages in the .ru domain that start with the exact phrase (apparently "Welcome to [X]" is as hackneyed a way of opening a website in Russian as it is in English). I want to be 100% sure it is right, though, since I'm planning on making something with this phrase on it and really don't want it to be a bad translation along the lines of "Good greet for you being at Vancouver".
