::Exciting News:: Thinking about staying in mongolia for a getaway well from my stay i've come to catch up on some cool sites to see while there, Such as.... ::Shopping Around :: If u visit Univermag your sure to catch up on some bargains. Prices vary wildly. Different items I came home with are russin good's and Buddhist Charms. Another thing to look for is Genghist khan's keepsakes. He was a national Hero out there. But beware that the export of Antiques and etc is prohibited. :: Hungry??..Why Wait! :: I especially enjoyed the new restaurants that were added as well as some of The Senior's that had been there for awhile. I enjoyed eating at The Local Fare. Even though there wans't that much of a selection i enjoyed the Arul which is dried cottage cheese, steamed noodles, stews , cabbage,and the wonderful rice. What was kind of crazy to find out is that most Mongolian's are superstitious about the fish. They believe is brings bad luck or illness. You will love the Kumiss which is a drink made from fermented mare's milk. There tea and Coffee are served black. Mongolian's love Vodka so this was good for me! Imported chinese beer is also very popular. ::Interview:: Once again this is Imari Walker reproting from Mongolia interviewing Nachagyn Bagabandy about his country.
