written by Jeroen Ulaan Bator, mongolia 11-5-2004 We're going to Terelj National Park together with Claude, Marjolijn, Ties en Lijn (the dutch familie we met in the train). so we get in the 4 wheeldrive bus. Ed is our translator for today. The capital is not all that big so in notime we are in the open fields. There is hardly any traffic and the road is full of wholes. The scenery is breathtaking. Green rolling hills exactly like the pictures and what atracted me the most to Mongolia. Mongoli...

No sitt eg paa ein internettkafe i Ulan Bator med forferdelege treige pcer. Men 3 kr timen e jo ikkje aa forakta. Det har gaatt ein stund sidan forrige gong eg skreiv no. Eg har skreve litt paa toget no og daa, men sidan novosibirsk har eg ikkje orka. Kanskje det er paa tide med ein liten oppdatering no... Toget me kom paa i Novosibirsk var litt forskjellig fraa det foerste toget fraa Moskva, som var eit typisk turisttog som skulle til Vladivostok. Dette var eit tog som skulle fraa Volgograd ...

I had told Bolor that I'd be up around 8 or 9am for breakfast. I slept well, although I was wide awake for a while around 3am. It didn't take much effort to sleep to 10:30. I'm staying in a Soviet-era apartment complex: a four story cinder block building with no frills. Nassan put me in the apartment adjoining her mother and daughter. I will be sharing a bathroom and kitchen with them. The floors are faux wood, the ceilings tall, and the creaking is charming. Breakfast is included and today i...

I got out of bed much earlier this morning. I took a walking tour through the heart of downtown, after checking e-mail at the post office. From Sukhbaatar Square I walked west on Juulchin Gudamj. When I passed my street, I ducked into Nassan's to use the bathroom before several hours of walking. Just as I came in the door, Bolor handed me the phone, "It's for you." Alex and Max were calling to welcome me to Mongolia. Max has been here about two weeks and has apparently become a vegetarian. "I...

I started the day at what I thought was the Museum of Mongolian History, but it turned out to be the Natural History Museum. The locations were incorrect in my Lonely Planet (LP) guidebook. The Natural Histroy Museum is a hodge podge of flora, fauna, reptiles, and huminoids. LP's description is more colorful: "a serious throwback to the Soviet era...The general impression, however, is that you've stumbled into a warehouse of a long deceased taxidermist...Some of the animals have been fixed wi...

... first train station, ShuuBaatar popped into the picture. We stood here for three or four hours too, and when the toilets were not looking like they were going to be opened for a few hours, we went for the closed Duty Free building to enjoy the holes in the floors. Up till this point, our train was two solitary wagons standing in the station by themselves, surrounded by milling Mongolians, waiting for something, good natured, smiling.
When I came out of the toilet ...
I didnt get much sleep last night and neither did the rest of our group due to the fact that the Mongolians on the train were up all night making a racquet outside my room wrapping things up, shouting loudly and going in and out of the various rooms. I must of been awake for 4 hours of the night listening to all the noise going on. I find that once I am a awake I find it hard to get back to sleep. After drifting off Andy woke us up to tell us to get up as we ...

... she had been wanting, but the real mission was to finding sunglasses for Uya that looked liked mine. We were searched forever trying to find some that looked liked mine. We found some similar but different colors. But no, she had to have ones just like mine. So we finally found some and two others that she liked and I even found a pair and then my wallet got stolen.
It turns out that when I put my wallet back into my purse they snuck up and ...
... are working here, and since they have nothing to do, they get together to help out local things. It is a good group and it was nice talking to these women. They were really interested in what I do at the camp, and what the camp does with the kids. They seemed amazed that I was here, like I was doing some great deed, I didn't really understand because I don't feel that I am doing anything that deserved the praise they gave me.
So after ...
... one little stream in the wheeled bomb shelter, and then our driver tries to cross a river. Unfortunately, he went right when he should have turned left. We knew things weren't good when we stopped in the middle. We knew things weren't great, when he yelled "CHORT!" and popped open the van to look at the motor. We knew things were bad, when the van started to take on water. Gathering our things, we opened the door and jumped out. Our driver actually ...
