Happy women's day

In Mongolia the 8th of March is women's day. So we are not working and there are a lot of events!
At school the teachers have organized a lot of food!
and we even had pizzas, really good!
Some students offer us some roses, mine died a little bit, but that was still nice :-)
And then on the day I was invited to a concert of someone I wanted to see since one year!!!
I made myself pretty and the day before it was really hot but damned on that day it was freezing again, welcome to Mongolia!
Anyway that was the concert, no no this is not a nazi concert, this is the sign of strength in  buddhism.
And in the middle this is old mongolian writing!
This is me with some people dressed in Buriat, I think we say it like that.
In this concert I was the only foreigner, so cool!
Yeah in Mongolia you can still take pics during the concert!
These are the 2 presenters,  look at the deel :-)
We had some Morin Khuur play, oh I love it, but I was not there for that!!!!
I was there for him!!!!
Javhlan!!!!
Finally, finally I managed to go to one of his concert. He is my favorite mongolian singer and I know that in Mongolia only old ladies like him, but now this is old ladies and me!
In the concert he has invited 4 others guys from different tribes: Tuva (russian),  khalumas, inner Mongolia (China) and  busad. You can see them in the last picture. I am really not sure how to write it.
They have different languages sometimes, sing differently, have different instruments but are mongols or were mongols!
The clothes are also different!
This one is particularly cool, he is the inner mongolian :-)
They all sang and dance.
The concerts was 3 hours, really really nice!
This is the concert ticket.
Finally finally I managed it! Ouh things need time in Mongolia but you always manage!
And I also have received some delicious chocolate!
Ahh that was nice :-)
