  • I'm still kicking myself for not buying this...

  • Look! I met up with Simon and Usukhbold, two blokes I met up with on my first trip to Mongolia back in 2011! It is, indeed, a small, small world...
  • Look! It's Tunga! Tunga is a member of the faculty at MNUE, and an Education for Sustainable Development specialist. We first met in Toronto (of all places) at an ESD/UNESCO conference. Again with the small world sentiment...
  • Please do NOT pick cigarettes up off the floor. They do not belong to you.
  • We got to see the Parliament in action (and the tour that comes with it)! Very cool...
  • Mongolian National Crest.
  • Wrestling is one of the three "Manly Sports" (along with horseback riding and archery) and is celebrated every July at the annual Naadam Festival.<br /> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naadam">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naadam</a>
  • Traditional Mongolian dumplings. These were fried, and contained meat (but can also contain potatoes, onions, etc.). Think samosa, only lighter.
  • No words. You just had to experience it.
  • The wheel.
  • I have no idea what this is, but it's badass.
  • So much was happening in this mural. Sexy women pointing at weightlifters, boxers boxing over a sexy chess player. It was advertising student clubs at one of the universities, but something tells me they missed their mark.
  • Oh, yeah...
  • No words, Olivia. No words.
  • This was a shamanistic monument that we passed on the way out to the countryside. I don't know much about it, other than that the colors of the hair are meaningful--white for peace, and dark for war. From the looks of it, we're kind of in-between?
