interesting thread.
good luck and keep updating!
Rainy day here but those hills are begging to be climbed up!
The quality and price of supermarkets is a pleasant surprise- easy to cook western food and there are even some convenience food that can be thrown in the oven. Beef is cheap- about 5USD per kilo. lamb comes in at a similar price. Chicken is expensive, given the winters it is not surprising. Lots of German and Russian foods here,too. Fruit is western priced- it has to be imported but root veggies are cheap as chips.
View from the office is pretty special
and lunches are pretty nice
...what's the white scoop on the left?...
Looks like mash in addition to the rice.
Double carbs for the nostalgic.
It was bread roll, was quite surprised.
@LuLu- how I wish I had long hair like that- will be a slap head by 40 for sure!
I was kinda hoping for meat filled dumplings
Brilliant thread. I am still trying to work out if i am as envious as fuck, or glad its not me.
Another adventure, what's not to like.
Nice stuff,I'll give it three thumbs up.
Had to go on a teachers "retreat" this Saturday after the school opening ceremony; there are a lot of Soviet influences that still live on here, in this case ALL schools in Mongolia open on September 1st. As I work at an international school it is all for show, no classes or anything like that. That fun starts tomorrow and I am genuinely looking forward to getting back to work.
Spent the weekend here. it was very peaceful pre-vodka
Thought we would be in gers, turns out the resort was pretty fancy.
Mongolians do not mess about when it comes to vodka- I wouldn't recommend you try to match their impressive drinking speed. As for the local vodka, better and smoother than Russian vodka but I'm still not a fan of the stuff. Give me beer anyday!
Ooooh la la you are where?
Seb how many time have I told you to go HK not some shithole?
OK Just kidding, love ya.
