Mongolian Ger (updated)






I'm getting the photos downloaded to the hard drive, and here's one of a modern Mongolian nomadic ger, mft and his gracious host. (In the 'stans they are referred to as yurts, but in Mongolia, they are gers.)

MFT, did you get to stay in one of those Gers for a while? [unlike JJ, I am too polite to ask about the Gerls]

Never yurts to ask, AA.

I didn't stay in one (amazingly, we didn't get drunk enough off the vodka to pass out). Although on the north side of Ulaan Bataar is a ger resort entitled Bogdkahn that used to be frequented by communist party leaders. Nowadays, with capitalism in full bloom, the public can rent a ger for a night or week at Bogdkahn. I'll upload two more photos of Bogdkahn.
