Ulaanbator 26.08.12

Digging in my backpack attempting to fish out the long forgotten about jumpers and long sleeve clothing. Ulaanbator is a little chilly today we had met up with two young guys from Germany at a random stop yesterday who were heading in the opposite direction on the train back to Beijing they had said Mongolia was between 0-10 degrees at night and probably similar to Sydney winter during the day, though I admit I'm enjoying the change.
There's a half half feeling here some high rise in the city and backing onto fenced off Gers and then the city sort of spills onto the landscape as you could kind of see in the below photo.
We met with Agy our honcho, loaded up on Turgriks and had a nice shower in our lovely little hostel. Agy took us to the Mongolian History Museum which was really interesting as we had a guide to explain and give us a tour. We also visited a humongous souvenir store and then made our way back for some relaxing before dinner...pizza.

After dinner we met up with another Honcho and her group to go out we ended up at an underground nightclub called 'Dorgio'. Such an awesome experience mixing with the locals and our Honchos Ana and Agy danced along with us most of the night, when we decided to leave around 2am as soon as we had left the club one of the guys from the other group tripped on a bike rack and immediately our Honcho Agy tried to help and tripped on the exact same thing...quite a good laugh.

Bottle of water and bed....Ger camps tomorrow!!!!!!
