UB is very good! A a nice litle one million city in the middle of nowhere. O wait, it is in Mongolia!!The country uses no coins, has just two neighbors (good+bad) and used to be home of Tsinghis Kahn. After a dead borring day in train at the border we were really curious and keen to se this place. Turned out that people were really eager to help, starting from drunken taxi drivers at train station. We decided to walk.
Wondering arround led to somethimg funny and interesting like it so often does.we bumped into Babu, a local German teacher slash life enjoyer and ended up spending the whole day with her. Uncle Timo's free tip: If you sometimes have just one day in a country, find yourself this kind of a coincidence. moving arround, Getting info and communication was today really smooth.
From VIP-perspective Ulanbatar is tricky. Sidewalk materials are whatever, sebra crossings have often faded away, busses drive like crazy and lights in shops and restaurants are often poor. On the other hand i saw alot of guidelines and the street map layout is simple.
UB bottom2: Short time here & chaotic and dangerous traffic for pedesyrians. (Yeav, i know it Wont get any better during the next weeks...)
UB too2; prices & local hospitality
Oh and today's captions & explorations:
