Staring..
Mongolians WILL stare at you! It is a little unnerving, but you get used to it...They will usually offer you things with their right hand...

Another highly offensive move - when entering a ger step over the ground side of the door frame, NOT ON IT.
The mother of a family that we stayed at (in their ger) wanted to show us her dress that she wears to special occasions. Beautiful!

The desert is spotted with oboos - piles of rocks decorated with a swatch of blue material. For travel luck, walk (or drive) around the structure three times while tossing small rocks onto it.

Never touch the head-gear and belt of a Mongolian man, even if he is not wearing them.

The Mongolian men still wear their local dress. They are very proud. Some of them have daggers or guns with them.

If you arrive at the border and don't have the proper Visa, just slip them a US$20 bill.... It worked for me.

Go to a folklore evening. Its mostly for tourists but gives you a good impression of mongolian music and dances.

People are strong within, and nice, I love the way they are living, not very arrogant,with an exception to a few who live in the city. They are open to the Gospel.
