Okay so check this....Mongolia has this holiday right....Teacher's Holiday! I randomly got people wishing me happy holidays and congratulations and giving me presents! The best was given to me by my very best Mongolian Friend Shuree: A book all about the Beatles.....in Mongolian!!!!!! What better way to improve my language skills and further my obsession!
To celebrate this momentous occasion we went to a B Productions Concert that featured the hottest young singers in Mongolia including the former member of Carmand, the one, the only, BOLD!!!!! It was an awesome concert, and only 3,000 tugrigs (though I was given the ticket as a gift!) In UB a show like this would put you back around 10,000 tugs! The only problem, these singers performed the most excellent dance music, but no one danced or even really moved for that matter! I mean they could have at least thrown a little head bob or two in their...ever interesting Mongolia.
Also, Tsagaan Sar ("White Month" aka Mongolian Lunar New Year) is fast approaching and I am sooo excited. This is a time to eat buuz, drink arig, get socks, and wear a del! Im uber excited

Thanks for your comment on my blog Cassandra! I read through your blog and I really enjoy it, I even backed up to before you left for Peace Corps. I'm excited, but it's still hard for me to believe that I will be leaving in a little over three months! I look forward to seeing you and hope you have a great week.
