Great thread Seb. I saw Mongolia 30 years ago through a train window. Stayed at plenty of places but can't remember a thing.

I vaguely remember the undercarriage swap in the middle of the night at some freezing border post. Chugging towards Ulaanbataar, then onto Lake Baikal. Or something like that.

I suppose at this stage it doesn't really matter if I give up smoking or not!

Snow capped sand dunes. That was different.

And what was that soup? Yogurt and beetroot? Should have got the recipe.

^Thanks, really enjoying living here and discovering what it has to offer. The only issue is where is more off-grid, isolated and out there for my next adventure after this contract? I'd do rural Thailand, but there is the small matter of rubbish TEFL salary and backpacker teachers. My patients can't handle either 555. I can not speak more highly of the hospitality of nomads- there are schools out in more rural areas than UB, if I want to stay here in Mongolia my lungs might need it, despite the pay cut.

Just goes to show there is more to life than Thailand, and its always good to have optiions and not be in a rut. Over on other places I would be burnt at the stake for saying that, heresy.

Well it's good to see your fine Seb, was a tad worried you were suffering.Some nice images indeed perverse beauty . Any way I must admit that if I was there I too would be enjoying the same experiences as you. You've proved there is more pleasure to be had from ones work than just money.
The memories you have will be with you for a lifetime as will the lessons learned. Great life you have, long may you continue to enjoy it and hopefully regale us with your experiences.

Great snaps Seb. That first shot would be perfect if it wasn't for that creature breathing in the foreground. edit.. unless that creature is you Seb. Oldie has just finishing searching the Mekong between Nong Khai and Bueng Kan looking for a vacant sand island he can inhabit and raise chickens.
