1st Day in UB

Looks like a bit of rain tomorrow, so we elected to spend the day looking at the local sites, with a view to heading into the Gobi day after next. Mongolia seems hell bent on thrusting themselves into the western way as soon as possible. For one of the poorest countries in the world judged by GDP, there is a hell of alot going on here, with plenty of great resteraunts/pubs, still at dirt cheap prices. First impressions…… fantastic.

With a 29 meter high Buda inside (no photos allowed of course)  making it the biggest monastery in Mongolia.
