#4 Done

#4. Do something I wouldn’t do if not for this blog A woman ladeled the warm fermented mare’s milk into a bowl and passed it around to the men, who for the most part lacked basic dental hygene. The woman then handed the bowl to me and like a good traveler, I drank. It tasted like sour milk. I kept it down and knocked…

Paintings from henry james on Vimeo. #48: Visit something ancient Havtsgait Valley, site of ancient rock drawings left by early Gobi settlers for more than 15,000-40,000 years ago.

Visited a Nomadic Family’s Ger

The nomads live in mobile gers throughout the Gobi. They move around with their livestock in search of food. The winter averages temps of 40 below zero, so I’m still not sure how they survive. They take in any visiter, so we were welcomed with milk tea and sweets. Even when they are not at their ger, they leave it unlocked with food and…

Excavating Dino

82 of the 400 dinosaur species have been found here. There are fossils everywhere. With the help of our guide, we found a very large dinosaur fossil and began to excavate before we thought better of it.

#62: Visit a Museum The National Museum Of Mongolia

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia

Chinggis Khaan etched into the mountainside outside of our hotel window. This picture sums up the city. A mix of old and new coexist, but it’s quickly evolving into something else. It feels very Western in the city center.

Shangra-La Hotel

First impressions are pretty great.

Happy Birthday, Bro

After a nightmare ten hour delay, we finally made it to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. I was so happy to be on the plane that I almost didn’t mind the way too many visible fire extinguishers in the Russian made Miat Airlines. I did however pay sharp attention to the entire safety demonstration. The silver lining is that this was a transit day, so the itinerary…

Hongdae Nights

Spent our last night eating Korean BBQ and walking around the Hongdae neighborhood until we outlasted them all.

New Favorite Library

Seoul

The heat and humidity is pretty much debilitating and has knocked us off our usual game. Nevertheless, we’re sweating through it to make the most of 48 hours in Seoul. So much commerce in Seoul, but the amount of skin/cosmetic shops is mind boggling. Sonia is in love. Anthony Bourdain’s favorite street food city didn’t disappoint. The misters were barely a reprieve from the…

Furthest West I’ve been. Now going East.

Made the first leg despite the lack of sleep.
