What is life like in Ulaanbaatar

  In the capital,Ulaanbaatar, you can find all types of housing, apartment building (brick or concrete), and also a few houses. Since the past year, in the capital there has been a lot of new housing construction. You can now rent a place from USD$200 to $3 000/month. It depends on your budget. For those of you that might be worrying about security, lots of the new apartment buildings are fenced and provide security guard 24 hour a day.

  At the State Department Store you can buy furniture, appliances and every other kind of household goods such as: iron, microwave, coffee maker, deep fryer, juicer, rice cooker, humidifier, fan, you name it. Most of the cooking and baking equipment (pots and pans) is available also. You may have to look in a few different stores, but you can find almost anything.

  Don't be worried about the bathrooms in Ulaanbaatar, toilets and showers are western style. In the countryside, it's a bit different, don't bother looking for toilets, there is usually no designated place to do whatever you have to. Just find a spot away from a Ger, Ovoo and river.

Posted by Hector Vargas 20-06-2008 22:42,   Mr. Hey, great looking site. I would like to make a critical comment hoping to help you improve it. There is a need of revising your English. Generally, it is fine and easy to understand, but needs a little polishing. Great site must have great wording.  For instance: What is life like in....? is better than what you have. Just delete the "look"    I am trying to get my own site started and would like to be able to get one as good looking as yours.    Sincerely    Hector.   » Reply to this comment... » See all 1 replie(s)   Posted by Ygmbswzm 18-01-2010 11:30,   Ygmbswzm very best job bbs preteen illegal very young virgin sex clips 1445 extremhole 16264 illegal cp sex pics 960 naked nymphets idafn preteen bikini modles 43701 nude children having sex pyyn hot naked preteens jyf bb king htwbaq illegal porn photos 8-PPP japanese teen model brezam   » Reply to this comment...   Posted by Dscfyiom 18-01-2010 12:55,   Dscfyiom Punk not dead preteen model pics girl panties apjjw models nn 01649 free dad and preteen incest pics 02664 pictures of preteen panties 6051 at home preteen birthday party themes vmcmk hot young preteens cqh find illegal porn 627 passwords perfectslave cjuske preteen sex blogs oegd hot pre teen models 573   » Reply to this comment...   Posted by Lvlnmgkf 18-01-2010 13:17,   Lvlnmgkf very best job nn model young 066 yopung bbs cfwm movies bbs mkjwld yiff loli 8) barcelona business school about bbs 7944 bbs lsmodels 8DD kds toplists  8DDD toplist teen beautiful nude models >:-PPP bbs jp loli rukmf toplist illegal 9609   » Reply to this comment...   Posted by Xwzunnkw 18-01-2010 14:20,   Xwzunnkw I love this site fitness model =-[[ illegal very young virgin cheerleader sex kskri chemal gegg mqstx kdz kds bbs pedo ilc underage taboo sex sites %-DDD child pornography should be legal 67896 preteen nude top :D kids getting naked 359488 sexy naked very young japanese little virgin 1798 lily nude 68197   » Reply to this comment...
