Mongolia Madness

---

Clint and Mo went on a Chinese tour of the Inner Mongolian grasslands and Gobi Desert. The "tour" turned out to be less than they had bargained for: freezing coldness accompanied by complete chaos - bootlegging along with various other tour groups.

Highlights: galloping recklessly across the grasslands and feeling sore for days afterwards, negotiating to ensure they were assigned camels without flaccid humps at the Gobi desert, watching the hijinks of Mongolian "cowboys," hiring military Chinese jackets to combat the cold, staying at the aptly titled Aluminum Smelter Hotel, and drinking too much "baijiu" ( a white spirit that should be renamed petroleum) to fall asleep despite the cold.

Inner Mongolia, while interesting, is the type of place that one travels to once to say they've been there, and then tells unsuspecting friends that it's a great place to go for a "holiday."
