Flag of Mongolia  ,
Sunday, July 16, 2006

Arrived at Ulaanbattar (dont think I will ever spell it right!)

WOW!!! Mongolia. Its got to be up there in the most beautiful countries ever list. We were greeted by one of the guys who had to fly because of a Visa stuff up and our just as beautiful as Mongolia Honcho "Nomin". Everyone referred to Nomin as No Me. Which inspired myself to sing the ABBA song Knowing Me knowing you continously.

Now i have to say, in the pretty girl scale, Mongolia is the top, or should I say was, Im now in Mother Russia, its everything they say is true! But that is a future blog. It must be the mix of Asian and Russian because almost everyone of them is stunning. You cant walk down the street without thinking... "My god! that is the most stunning creature I have ever seen" Now im not saying this from a pervert sort of view Drunken Groupies
Drunken Groupies
. Its just well, if it was a couple i wouldnt say anything. Its just everybody!! Even the girls in the group noticed the difference. You cant go there and not notice how breathtakingly beautful the Mongolian race is. Its Russian Female Tennis Players mixed with the Exotic asia. And girls, all the guys are absolute tanks, i felt like a little guy again, after a glorious time in south east asia being taller than normal.

Alright I got that out of my system. Let me continue.

There was one night spent in UB. This night set a standard for the group. We went out for the best food I have ever had in my life. A Mongolian BBQ. It is a western invention, you get to grab your own meat, pasta, make your own sauce, etc, give it to them and they cook it in front of you. All you can eat! After this we hit a bar, then the following happened.

I will explain in points:

I did not drink this night, and did miss some of the events as I was still recovering from the Vietnam Train Rice Wine Debacle!!
Poor Ed
Poor Ed

In my group, Richard Burnt Kierans arm with a Cigar (drunken Cuffle)

Nick disapeared somewhere in the city. He didnt know the name of the hotel to get home. Gabby was so drunk she didnt notice him missing.

Kieran passed out drunk at a bar, then spewed in the dodgy hotel we were staying at

Dimity got into a fight with a taxi driver after the fare was to high, (an extra dollar!!) Robin tried to break it up and the taxi driver took his shirt off and wanted to fight him, security got involved, police came, some army came.

The we have Ed, Good old Ed (from Manchester) who looks like Liam or Noel Gallagher from Oasis I reckon. Others say the leader of the IRA. Poor Ed drunk so many shots of Vodka, he pronouced in our foyer, he hated the US and China and proceeded to burn US and Chinese money in front of security and reception. He then had drinks with security, offered to buy his uniform, etc. Ed's drunkeness will be mentioned furture blog entries.

Then we have Poor Nomin, who was woken up by hotel reception at 4 in the morning to search for Nick, who was missing, presumed dead. She is 21, had to wake her dad, do a door to door search and drive around the city. Somehow Nick found a 24 hour internet and looked up the address.

The older lady in reception winked at me as i entered the building...

The end...


Also in UB i became hooked on Werthers Original. Are they in Oz??? I love them!!

I have also learnt to say the following in Mongolian.

Uher mal targalj baina uu?

said Ugen malllll targarach banuuu

It means "Are your cattle fattening well?"

Who needs to learn hello and thankyou when you know that!
