I'm thinking of moving to Mongolia one day. Vast open spaces and a bitter cold winter. It's nice to be forgotten by the world.
I lived there for a while, it’s very cool, it feels like going back to the wild Wild West. Bonus points if you like to drink, deduct points if you’re a vegetarian (they mostly just have meat dishes).
Reminds me of when I was up in Iqaluit (far north in Canada). The best way I could describe it is imagine Mos Eisley if it were on the planet Hoth.
Yeah that’s very accurate! I forgot to mention the fighting, they fight a lot there.
That's the impression I always come away with - similar to Montana or one of the Dakotas in the US. How was the language barrier?
Hmm I don’t remember it being too bad, but I was very used to traveling at the time. Work-wise I was able to find well educated staff with a good enough knowledge of English to work ok so it was all good.
