3 weeks to go… | Land of Blue Skies
https://blueskyland.wordpress.com/2009/12/29/3-weeks-to-go
Land of Blue Skies. Merry christmas from the frozen north. 3 weeks to go…. December 29, 2009. In the meantime, I’ve booked my flights to/from India, Malaysia and S Korea. It will be about 3 months of traveling, and it should cure the travel bug for a bit. I’ll be coming back to UB on April 1 or so, and then heading back to the US for spring in the midwest.

Land of Blue Skies. Things I will miss about Mongolia. Nine nines of winter. January 6, 2010. Tags: what the hell? In case I haven’t mentioned it before, it’s really quite cold here. There are those who insist that it’s colder “back home”, but “back home”, I’ve never put on long underwear just to walk to a friend’s house. Here, I wear a down-fill jacket fit for arctic temperatures. First nine –. Mild alcoholic beverage made of milk) freezes. Second nine –. Fourth – horns of four-year-old yak freeze.

Land of Blue Skies. Merry christmas from the frozen north. December 25, 2009. It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled ’till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more. Dr. Seuss. Sukhbaatar Square on Christmas Night. A balmy -17 F. How to survive in mongolia. December 17, 2009. Spend some ...

more things I will miss | Land of Blue Skies
https://blueskyland.wordpress.com/2010/01/15/more-things-i-will-miss
Land of Blue Skies. More things I will miss. January 15, 2010. Catching a cab. I love catching a cab in UB – you just hold out your hand, someone rolls up, you hop in, they take you where you want to go. If you are lucky, they won’t rip you off. In places where cabs are “official”, the element of the unknown has been removed. Much less exciting. Korean food. I mentioned this already. But it bears repeating. Not just the restaurants, but also the supermarkets. Feed for this Entry. Was searching for inform...

travel diary: terelj | Land of Blue Skies
https://blueskyland.wordpress.com/2010/01/13/travel-diary-terelj
Land of Blue Skies. Things I will miss about Mongolia. More things I will miss. January 13, 2010. This travel experience is a bit different. Previous trips to the countryside entailed hopping in a car and driving for hours…. This time, we eschewed our normal mode of transportation and tried another – dog sled. After 3 or so hours (30 kms), we arrived at a family’s hasha, where we would stay the night. The family was warm and welcoming, and we played Mongolian card games and drank vodka into the...And at ...

https://blueskyland.wordpress.com/2010/01
Land of Blue Skies. Archive for January, 2010. January 17, 2010. My time in Mongolia has been phenomenal, and I am immensely lucky to have had this experience. I came here with an expectation of arriving at the end of the world, and was pleasantly surprised to be wrong. Don’t get me wrong, there is a lot about this place that is alien and new, but I think there is also a lot that is familiar and comforting. In the meantime, I wish everyone the best here! Thanks for all the fabulous memories. Catching a c...
