Ger

Ok so today is my last day in Darkhan (before I come back there :-)
So a last subject about ger.
That's the traditional mongolian house.

you have different kind. You have the one in the city that are not moving anymore.

Most of the time they are in the yard of the people and sometimes they have an house next to it.
Very often this is poor people living in the ger areas. They came from the countryside to find a job in the city, but well this is quite difficult...

Then you have the one in the countryside. And the people move around 4 times a year.
Nowadays they use trucks to move them, but before it was with horses or camels or yaks.

And this is how they build the ger.
I think it can be done very quickly like in 1 or 2 hours.
Of course for all type of ger you have no toilet or running water inside. This is all outside

Then you have the ger for the tourist (mongolian or foreigner)
This ger are also not moving.
The difference is that you have many of them in one place.

Inside a ger you have the furnitures and the bed around.
In the middle you have the fire, to cook and to heat

Then you have the roof, open or not it depends on the temperature.

And when you count these wooden things you can know how big the ger is. There are different size.
Depending on the family, because everybody  is living together.

And this are gers in the wildness, there is enough space.
So the coming next weeks I will sleep in such gers, let's see how I look like after!!

See you in a couple of weeks!!!
