Day 21:

Another day in Ulaanbaatar. I'm starting to feel a little stagnant.

Tselmeg's place is in one of the Soviet block apartment buildings near the center of town. It's one building down from where my hostel was last year.

As I walked the street to the building a couple of nights ago, I thought about how easy it would be to live here. Financially easy, since rent on one of these places is about 200 USD a month, utilities are cheap and food can be cheap also. But not just easy is that sense - the town is a nice size. It's easy to get a handle on the best place for a plate of food, the best place for a drink, the best book stores and supermarkets...

A bit like Halifax, in that regard.

I saw a posting for a teacher wanted at an NGO in the western countryside. It was all I could do to not jot down the contact information.

Longer one next time. Rather tired now.
