Remember Spring? It has come again bringing the new love for the heart of lonely one, peace, quiet, solitude, nature, the sky, the clouds, the barren trees, the cold stare of winter's emptiness and soon it will bloom in an explosion of new life, speckled with garish colors, animals, birds, leaves, flowers and more flowers, running water gets free of it's ice kingdom. Life came again for the land without time, a place of everlasting silence, I can’t find any other words which could be suit and explain difference between each seasons, the nature is formed by the “Extremes” of “Hot & Cold, Cool & warm” You will see different landscapes from all over the world maybe only in Mongolia which because of climate change. Could you believe if I say four seasons change only in one day in Mongolia. I just remember about that Spring day when I was small.I woke up early in the morning and saw beautiful...

I wish to pay a special tribute to this wonderful young family whom I stayed with for a month. They made every effort to make me feel at home in Mongolia and arranged my many excursions both in Ulaan Baatar and the countryside. They cooked wonderful Mongolian meals for me every day. I will never forget their kindness and love.picture: Batenkh with Aminaa and Tungaa with Temuulen.
Here are some of the Mongolian words that I learned that I found useful during my month in Mongolia.Hello, how are you - sain bainaa uu?? I'm fine - sain Thank you - bayarlaa You're welcome - zugeer Let's go! - yavi! Yes - tiim No - ugui and a favourite one to use on herders (or as a joke to my city dwelling friends...)I hope your animals are fattening up nicely! - mal sureg targan tavati yuu? (answer) fattening nicely! - tavtai saikhan! goodbye - bayartai good night - saikhan umrara
Be careful from closed a deal, like Car Rental or organized tour, with Erdenebat Boris (Eric) – UB Mongolia. According to my experience (and also my friends) he abrogative preliminary agreement regarding tour conditions. For example: Vehicle not same vehicle booking, Driver not English spiking, extra payment contrary to the agreement and so on. Mr. Erdenebat Boris (Eric) is a faker. I am warning you.
There's Ulaan Baatar, or "Red Hero." It's a city of almost one million, containing almost half the country's population, and comprising mainly of ancient, crumbling Soviet-style buildings, wood shanties, and felt gers (probably the sturdiest structures in the city). You see huge pipes running about, as the Soviet-built central heating system is largely above ground. Turns out the ground is frozen a few feet under even in the summer, so it was more efficient to just put the pipes above ground. There are no skyscrapers in Ulaan Baatar. I and Baterdeun. This is one of the few pictures I have of a Mongolians. They don't generally like to have their pictures taken, and often want to be paid for it (not this family, but some people). Some of the asking prices were quite high - US$8, for example. We just settled for pics of Otgo and his family.
The feeling that you can dissapear into Mongolia and never be found!Not neccesarily a favorite, but an FYI....some banks are open 24 hours a day in Mongolia. Changing money should never be a problem, especially at a hotel! Sharing a lunch with a Mongolian family in their Ger, and how proud the father was to have his picture taken in his home!!!
