San ban oo? Welcome to my little blog about Mongolia. I used to live there when I was in the Peace Corps. I lived in a ger. It was awesome and I like to write stories about it. A Litle Animoto Video var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-18645752-8']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s); })();

Shagai, the anklebones of a sheep or goat, are used as dice for games and fortunetelling in Mongolia. Each anklebone has four sides, from best to worst: horse, sheep, goat, and camel.

If you don’t have any convenient goat anklebones, there’s an online fortunetelling program on infomongolia.com.

Map of the inside of the giant status of Genghis Khan on the bank of the Tuul river near Ulaanbaatar. Visitors can walk around on top of the horse’s head, and there is a museum inside the base.

Nachdem Anne und ich im PA Office waren (und es dort Feueralarm gab weil es im Müllschacht brannte) ging es zum Zaisan Monument noch mit Nao, Mary-Anne, Will und Cherlyn (aus Singapor). Sieht sehr hübsch aus auch wenn es wohl nur aus Soviet-Propaganda besteht. Aber man hat einen sehr netten Ausblick auf UB. Es war zudem herrlich sonnig und ich bin etwas braun geworden. Yai :D Und wir hatten viel Spaß beim Fotos machen und rumblödeln, daher: Fotospam. Hooray.

Traditional felt gers in front of new construction in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia’s capital city. About half the population lives in gers, which are traditional nomadic homes easy to move.
