Imagine then my pleasure at [...]

21 February 2007 – 15:46

Lunch Can be a Trial in Ulaanbaatar

4 January 2006 – 0:08

Indeed, the lunch menu can be a daunting prospect. Not only is it sometimes in a language difficult for us foreigner’s to understand, but sometimes the ingredients leave a little to be desired. See the picture for what I mean.
