We arrived at Ulaanbaatar after a smooth ride on the train. The train was fairly empty, so no cabin buddies on this leg. Except for Dima maybe, who got bored having a whole cabin for himself, so he came over for a couple of beers on the first night. Dima is a young fella from Irkutsk, studying international Management in UB.

The border stop between Russia and Mongolia took forever, but at least we met Yan and Joy from Hong Kong, “French couple” and some Germans (zey are everywhere, it’s a plague) in the process.

Arrived very early at UB after a rough wakeup call by the mongolian provodnitza. Now we are at the UB guesthouse trying to decide what to do in Mongo.
