The streets, buildings and people of Ulaan Baatar form a riotous assembly, a motley crew. The days when one would charge down the main street astride a galloping steed, loose a few arrows then decapitate your brother-in-law with a double-headed axe are largely gone. These days the chariot of choice is the automobile. The great Chinggis Khan, were he alive, would understand as well as anyone that y... Read Full Entry

My Mongolia
Hi, I'm mongolian, too. I also wanted to appreciate whoever got all those infos and put them here. Man, I miss my country.Some of those places I've never even been there and that kinda makes me jeloues. Well thanks again. I made a promise after I saw all these. Which was that I have to see all these beautiful and amazing nature by my own eyes before I die. I always keep my promise. Sincerely, Enkhmaa. Oakland, CA USA

lotus children's home
Hi,in july 2004 we travelled around Mongolia for three weeks, and visited the Lotus children's home near Ulaan Baatar. We now have a soft spot for the children there and are doing fund raising activities for the home. We are located in The Netherlands. A major fund raising event will be on December 22 at a high School. Is there anybody who can help with information or anything helpful about Mongolia and the Lotus Centre???!!!! louise_warmerdam@hotmail.com

awesome
I plan to visit UB this summer, part of a promise to myself to backpack more often. Your site's awesome. Thanks! Now I can't wait to troop to Mongolia, visit its countryside, breathe in its history and temporarily retreat from from the bustle of city life.

Your eye(s)
Hi Kim/Richard - As an amateur photographer who loves to travel I must compliment you on your eye(s) for great images. Your compositions and the technical quality are great! Are these digital or scanned slides? On the food count - did you find any options other than mutton? Well done!

hi i'm mongolian. Why are you expressing yout thankses to those people who took the pictures? Mongolia is a wonderful country. If foreigners cannot come to my beautiful country,and cannot see the wonders, they are unlucky!!!!! Why did one photographer give a statement-Crazy horses to our horses????? He is a crazy man himself!!!!!

Crazeee
Dear anonymous, I agree - those people who cannot visit your beautiful country are indeed unlucky. The caption for the horses refers to an Osmond's song (it's quite hard to think up captions for photos). I would not wish to imply your horses are crazy - although some of their owners clearly are :-)
