... it was still a very interesting experience - getting to see how all the parts of a lamb are prepared and cooked (and getting to eat it) as well as watching the dissection of a goat! Then there was the building of a ger (yurt) and later we were bundled into a tiny car with five other people to go and help with the livestock pen and another ger.<br><br>That night we handed out our gifts of a Russian doll with vodka inside from St Petersburg; another much bigger ...

... than any of the jaunts in the jeep! Other than a few hairy spots on the road where the valley we were in became a wind tunnel and everything vanished in the dust, we made good progress and soon found ourselves driving through snow drifts on the road, arriving back to a city which had been summery on arrival a couple of weeks ago and was now totally wintery. From sandtorm to snowstorm all in a few hours. I guess the storm must have ...

... I was bitten 15times around the face and countless times elsewhere. I heard about the aggressive mosquitos, but this was incredible. After that night we decided to drive for the nearest mountain whenever it got dark. Thankfully it worked out for the rest of the 5 day drive to Ulan Bataar.<br><br>Some of the roads were indescribly bad.

Not ready to home yet, we crossed to street to get some Mongolian food. We hung out in the restaurant, had a meal and of course drank tea before we all caught a taxi back to where we were staying for the night. Oh and I forgot to mention something about the taxis ...

Well, I made it to Ulan Bator!!!!! Mongolia is beautiful, UB not so much. It's like a sketchy, run down Communist town. Sorry if there are typos; I'm sitting in an internet cafe with my sunglasses on because I forgot my regular glasses in the hostel and I can't see without them. The keyboard is dark, so i can't read the keys with sunglasses on.<br><br>Anyways, where to start? I arrived in plenty of time for the train from Beijing, and ...

... is Buddhist, with Christian and Muslim minorities, and traditional shamanism in the countryside is still going strong. At the monastery, I felt as though I&#8217;d stepped into a film about Tibet. Mongolian Buddhism is very similar to Tibetan Buddhism, and the monks all use the Tibetan language to pray and chant. Rows of large prayer wheels spin gently, and symbolically colored scarves are tied to nearby trees. In one building is an enormous statue of the Goddess of Compassion ...
