*Live from Mongolia*

Arisu:
Hello Sindey, welcome to the road outside of my summer house. How are you? I miss you! Every morning since I have been in Ulan Bator, I get up at the same time, which is really, really nice. It's weird to have that kind of routine. And I'm getting things done! There's a piano in the house and I've been playing it every day. I can play with both hands, I'm getting really good. And I look out the window and it's really pretty, like so much space and nobody there.

*Pause*

Arisu:
Except, oh my god, all last week, every day there is an insane man running past and I can't figure him out. He's easily forty-five years old and he looks Chinese. Like I would imagine everyone in China looked like 1965. He has thick jet back hair and a big brushy mustache, and he dresses like he's here in the sixties. He runs in such a weird stiff way.

*Leans into the camera*

Arisu:
I think, he's a Mao billionare or his an escapist communist. I just want to know where he's going so badly. Since I've seen him, I've been noticing that, every here doesn't seem like the right time. Like, I walk past a news agents in the village and their window display can't have changed in fifteen years. The magazines have been bleached by the sun and the models on the covers don't have faces anymore.  And outside the bar, there are these two old men that just sit there all day, wearing thin cotton clothes, look bewildered. Like they are waiting for their bus back in the 1940's.

*Pause*

Arisu:
In the evenings, I can sit on the roof outside my bedroom and it's dark and I can really think. And I realized last night that you take in so much information the course of everyday. But, it's up to you how you interpurt it. You decide that it's lizards running the world. And in a day, you see two pictures of lizards, which you wouldn't have picked out before, but now they are super signifigant. Because you're switched on to lizards. And nothing else. Do you know how manys Sid there are stationed in Ulan Bator? Loads. They're everywhere.

*Pick up a glass jar of stones and looks at it. Turns back to the camera*

Arisu:
It's been this many days since I've seen you Sid.

*Adds another stone in the jar*

*Shuts off the camera*
