Hello, "San-ban-oh." The standard Greeting in Mongolian. Hence the blog name, our friend John Luke (4) tells us that both the guards names here at the flat are, Sam Ben O. Now you know. Saturday with nothing to do. We got the internet to work from the house this week so what else would one do but start a Blog. After a year living in Siberia we are settling into life here in Mongolia. Helping out in the Office during the day and enjoying the flat of some friends in the evenings. Mongolia seems to be a friendly place and most people we encounter welcoming to strangers.
Without sounding like a travel log I will say that we are exploring the local restaurants as our budget allows. Travel out of the city is limited so we may not be able to include many photos of the landscape. Fall has arrived here and we have survived our first snow and the days are getting cooler. Diana misses the Dogs which are often seen in Siberia. In Ulaanbaatar we see few dogs and few are as big and woolly as those we had living in the forest behind our flat there.
No we are not living in the pictured Yurt. The photo was take north of Ulaanbaatar at a tourist camp in the national park. The landscape reminds me of the Utah side of the Rockies. Blue Sky is often used as a business name here and you can see why.
Hoping all is well with you
Tom
