Hallo to all of you!
I arrived in Mongolia, in Ulaanbaatar, and cannot stop smiling, looking and being fascinated. Everything is so different...to where I have been in the last weeks and months.
At first glance, Ulaanbaatar appears a bit neglected, but you learn that what a building looks from outside has nothing to do with what it looks inside or what you find inside. There are fancy restaurants, bars and coffee shops. All food I encountered so far was pretty good. The people are friendly and welcoming and speak better English than in South Korea (who would have thought that, really??)
The last two days I spent being fascinated by the Naadam Festival. Nearly everything is closed and everybody is out there, proudly wearing their best suits as well as watching the happenings: wrestling, horses racing and archery. I personally liked the archery best.
Take a look at the pictures. :)
Unfortunately my tablet broke and thus it is pretty hard for me to upload the pictures and write a post. And I managed only some (they are not - ulimately - the best, as I could not be too picky on that matter due to technical restraints :) ) But I hope you enjoy them nonetheless.
Tomorrow I will travel out of the city to the wide and open countryside and wilderness. I will return to Ulaanbaatar in about 2 weeks and will, hopefully, be able to post again then.
I hope you are all fine and enjoying summer!
Kisses and hugs!!!
