UB Hollywood!

Two week-ends ago there was an event in UB.
Some telephone/internet/TV company is starting a new channel and they have decorate like in Hollywood!

Here Mr Hulk and the Khuushur Building :-)

I have not seen that one but they are cute!!!

And me finally at Hollywood :-)

The weather was also great so this was enjoyable!!!

Godzilla even came from Japan!

But Marco Polo is here since a long time.
Why? Well I really don't know….

This was the ad for the new channel

And I guess since this is 000000 that the new channel is already started.
Well I don't care I don't have a TV :-)

Fall in UB

Now this is fall in UB and the trees are turning red and yellow!

So this Sunday I went for a photo shooting

It is in UB in a ger camp. And even if this is in the city here you have the nature and fresh air!
Really great!
But the air was really fresh: 4 degrees and snow!!! Winter is coming!

I just let you admire the fall colors!

in panorama version

And here you can see the snow already!

Bye bye summer!!!

Really????

No joke???? Already so cold and snow????
Mamamia
And all that with still no heater and very cold water ( 4 degrees shower is making me strong!!!!)
I need to eat more meat!!!!!

A week-end in Khenti

This week-end I went to the Khenti province, 331 kilometers away from UB.

On the way a small stop at a restaurant, because you need some calories to hit the road!

This is the first time I see a pig in Mongolia and this one has a record!

I was in Khenti because of the celebration of the 90's anniversary of the school, so the city was full of people!

this is the school!

Many former students were there, some dressed with great deels!
You had people that were in this school 30 years ago!

This is so great to see the old pictures

And this is some former classmates back in their old classes

This city is located in the Khenti province (the birthplace of Chingis Khan).
You can see it on the map :-)

Khenti is famous for it's horses and there is a monument dedicated to them.

There is also a great monastery, more about it later...

Khenti is also the beginning of the steppes meaning, there is nothing, no mountains, all flat!

But in this city you can still see some mountains!

and a beautiful river where the kids can swim but it was too cold now, well almost too cold, see later!

Great panoramic view!

a decoration at the monastery

and the road with beautiful colors at sunset

And this is the Herlen river which has allowed me to take great pictures!
I just let you admire them without comments (they are not needed anyway!)

And this is really a river even if it looks like a see!

And of course in Mongolia all the meals were full of meat and this time airag (fermented horse's milk)!
Everything just delicious, too delicious because only after 2 days I have some extra kilos!

If you are careful enough you can see a lot of wild animals in Mongolia and if you are lucky enough you even take pictures of them!!!!

Here an eagle.

And this is me with a borrowed Louis Vuitton bag.
First time I touched one actually!
I have to go to Mongolia to make it happen!!!!!

At the monastery I had a Lama doing some prayers for me.
I was just sitting in front of him, this was very intense.
Really great and I hope my prayers will come through!

Khenti is full of famous people. Some of them are wrestlers and they have their monument.
But this one has quite a big b...!!!!

wrestling fight

and the winner.
These statues are really big and so nice!

On the way back to UB some view of the mountains (This is not the steppe anymore)

An ovo

And there I was supposed to get thermal water very good for the stomach but unfortunately it was closed….

with a big lock!!!!

But I saw some nice monuments. This one commemorate the book the secret story of the mongolian empire

and this one is for a scientist

and this my friends is something.
This is a thermal lake full of minerals and even if the water temperature was really low I took a swim, because I couldn't resist!
After that my skin was all smooth and beautiful!
This was worth it!

And Khenti is famous for it's bread that I bought.
And this was my today's lunch!
How yummy :-)
Ah this week-end was great, too short but some fresh air compare to the UB pollution!
I want to go again!!!!
