Yak Hunter: Summer in Bayankhongor
http://tysend.blogspot.com/2010/06/summer-in-bayankhongor.html
Monday, June 28, 2010. Blatantly stolen from Camus' essay "Summer in Algiers"* *. The loves we share with a city are often secret loves.". Bayankhongor opens to the sky like a mouth or a wound.". In Bayankhongor one loves the commonplaces.". In Bayankhongor whoever is young and alive finds sanctuary and occasion for triumphs everywhere.". But for whoever has lost his youth there is nothing to cling to and nowhere where melancholy can escape itself.". Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). My Life in Mongolia.

Yak Hunter: Erdenetsogt
http://tysend.blogspot.com/2010/06/erdenetsogt.html
Thursday, June 24, 2010. The "doorman" who was in charge of managing the rock throwing and engine problems was otherwise occupied about 80% of the time. On either side of me sat some early 20 looking students likely on their way home for the summer from college (in UB? Said doorman seemed to know these two ladies and wanted to get to know them better. Lots of slapping ensued without serious injury. Once in Erdenetsogt the movie marathon began: No Country for Old Men, Rashomon, De-Lovely, and. And "Will t...

Yak Hunter: August 2009

Saturday, August 29, 2009. The Deep Mysteries of the Strawberry Choco Pie. Hung out with my host mom and sister today in UB. The occasion: my sister is starting college in UB (she will study social work, my host mom's occupation). So, after eating some delicious, I argue the best, vegetarian tsuivan in UB we went over to a monestary to see the largest statue of Buddha in the country. It was, big. Possibly monks hidden on the second or third story balcony? Moving on to another temple in the same complex w...

Yak Hunter: September 2009

Saturday, September 19, 2009. Marrow, Openings, and the Next Thing. On the way over to the internet. Cafe this evening (a chilly, windy, four-layers-would-be-delightful kind-of day turning into a I-probably-should-get-some-wood-and-make-a-fire kind-of night) I remembered that I forgot to mention some good news from the NCAV. Concert. The benefit concert this spring raised 900,000 Tugriks. Already discussions of repeating the idea next spring. The elephant-sized news of the day is that the BACC. After tha...

A.M.W.: October 2008
http://angsthoughts-ang.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 13, 2008. I catch myself thinking "I can't believe it's October" a lot these days. I know it's somewhat cliche but I really can't believe that we are here. Seriously, October? Here are a few highlights of my life the past few weeks. One of my favorite parts of fall is homecoming and the NP homecoming BlocParty! And my days with these two are never boring. It's fun to see how they are growing up and becoming funnier every week! I'm mostly excited, but a little nervous for this adventure...
