I discovered one of my new favorite Mongolian songs this week, called "Chintamani" by Celine Dessberg. Celine is French-Mongolian and in her music she combines the yatga, a traditional Mongolian harp, with the guitar and piano.
I celebrated a friend's birthday this weekend. She lives in Erdenet, another large city in Mongolia, which is six hours away from Ulaanbaatar by train.
I have recently been reading My Year Abroad by Chang-Rae Lee. The story is about an American boy who goes on a life-changing adventure in Asia. I decided to read it because I thought it could be similar to my real life!
I recently went bowling with my coworkers. Bowling is a very popular game here in Mongolia! Another sport that is popular here is e-sports, or video games. I don't play many video games myself, but it gets so cold here in winter I can understand why playing online games indoors is nice!
I walked by this jewely store earlier this week and saw some baby kittens playing around. I asked the owner of the shop why she had so many kittens, and she said she had rescued them from the street and was looking to find forever homes for the kittens. So sweet!
