ha Happen to drop by your blog and enjoy your pictures. well chinese and tibetan chinese are more or less in some sort of sad mood since we are just start recovering from the wars of last century and have lot of social problems. but please know that for centuries chinese and tibetan chinese are in a family. for example tibet is guarded by china army since 500 years ago. China fail to protect tibet when British invasion because the wars in east coast at the same time. The army went back and be defined as invasion, while British invation is defined as expansion. That's all politics. The only important thing is both ethnics are sharing peace and imporving lives qualities. so please let it go. thanks
Just to clarify for everyone The figure of 1.2 millin casualities quoted is represented by the number of people who have died directly or indirectly SINCE the occupation began in the 50's. Maybe I didn't make that clear in the text. I will now
If you don't like it don't read it Have you ever been.. I'm expressing a thing called freedom of speech, something you mightn't know alot about. I know what I saw.. Now piss off
you are talking nonsense about Tibet, China Nonsense! what you commented on the history of Tibet proved that you know nothing about the Tibet real history. before 1959, there was actually a slavery system in tibet and the Dalai Lama, was the biggest slave owner of the region. even now the Dalai Lama is also wondering here and there, boasting his illussions of recovering the slavery system in Tibet. the killing of 1.2 millions of tibetans is considered by me a big lie and bullshit. in the 1950s the total number of tibetans are 1.25millionshahayou are just a tourist who only know about enjoying the scenery and nothing else. so pls stop pretending that you know. thanks!
Advice on Mongolia Hi Gala,
No we had nothing planned at all, but we were very fortunate in that we met some like minded people who all wanted to do the same stuff and had the same amount of time.
What I would recommend is to get in contact with the Golden Gobi guesthouse. Its a really really cool place and Ugi, the lady who owns it, will sort everything out for you. She is an amazing woman and will go out of her way to help you.
I have nothing but good things to say about Mongolia, people are incredible and the countryside is unforgetable. Make sure you give yourself enough time, we had 10 days and it was nowhere near enough.
ENJOY!!!!!!!!!

Not Local ! Good man keogan.
Sounds like a memorable trip, sure its all about the drunks, weirdo's and the vagrants at the end of the day-they dont be long reminding you that your out of the aul comfort zone.
Your some blog writer, Ernest Hemmingway would crap his britches if he read about your adventures.
PS. I think Leddys was burned again. Its knocked to the ground now but rumours around Bruskey suggest that the pile of rubble was lit as well.
Other news - Tosh's house got badly egged over halloween and apparently some young arsonist called the priest a gimp down at the cross and then threw a banger at his cat. He was badly shook and spent most of the next day on the roof of the church meowing...
Keep up the good work, tis mighty reading.
Mongolia Yo Shamoos! Good blog - Mongolia sound like an interesting spot, quite different to the usual tourist traps. Funnily enough, I always considered you to be a bit of a mongolian!
Mosquito's with bad taste Hi Seamus, how the hell are ya ? . Its nice to see that your keeping a blog, but remember to keep it updated regularly, this is gonna be better than watchin TV ;-) . So Mosquitos are doing something that we could not and that is getting something out of ya ;-) I see ya still do anytin for a sweet ;-). Dont forget to take pictures of nice looking foreign women for us lads and an oul email address from the good looking ones would be more than welcomed by us males ;-) . I hope your having a ball, we all look forward to hearing about you adventures so keep updating us as often as you can. Ooohhh and they reckon that if you eat lots of garlic the mosquito's wont go near ya, but then again neither will the women ;-) Byeeeeeeeeeeeee for now.
Lucia and Myself are heading to Australia via the Trans Mongolian Express. We are leaving on 20.09.2007
Well we did make it to Australia in the end. With a pile of useless threadbare clothes and some fantastic memories. I'm dragging my heels publishing but I will get them all up eventually.
Hope you enjoy the reading... full info
