In case of storm heavy stones are attached to the mast. This opening is partially closed at night but can be totally closed when very cold.

Mongolian dog

With the typical 2 clear spots, it is said they have 4 eyes.

Mongolian saddle

these saddles are in wood. Don't try if you are not used to it. The nomads like to decorate them with silver, to show their standing.

Wow
Mongolia has so much mystique. Thanks for sharing. i wish i could go there but from what ive gathered, its cheaper to go to wealthier countries than to underdeveloped countries like mongolia and africa. and mongolia is beyond my budget at the moment but i hope to visit someday. thank you

Great to see your blog!
Hi guys Madeleine and I are back home in York now but still in China in our minds! Missed you on your last day at the red Wall Hotel but we felt we had at least said goodbye and had our hugs at the restaurant in the Oriental Plaza in Beijing. (Hope you enjoyed the aubergine Robson!)... We have some pics to email you but will do this later... When in China we heard that our neice Claire and her husband Adam had been delivered of a new baby - a boy - and they have named him - BEN!!! This news was long awaited and his name is such a bonus to us - as we know 2 Ben's - one in York and one is YOU - on a year long travel with his partner! Robson - I hope you are not too dissapointed - we do have another neice expecting a baby in America - but I am unsure of the odds of her having a boy and naming him Robson - but we live in hope. Wishing you guys all the best - we missed you as we were on our own once we left Beijing. But had a great time in Xian and in Shanghai. Will follow your blog avidly--- Love from Terry and Madeleine
