Kharagiin monastery

Yesterday I went to buy my train ticket to ub (but this is another story) and on the way I have visited the Kharagiin monastery.

This is in old Darkhan, this is a buddhist monastery

It was not open inside but you can still see some interesting paintings

 And on the outside you have the prayers wheels

And a monastery that is brightly decorated!
You have some dragons and other divinities.

Of course you have some representation of buddha

 and me :-)
Yesterday the weather was quite hot, but since it is changing every 5 minutes it's difficult for me to follow so I am always wrong !!!
But I had my sunglasses this time :-)

This is also one of the door with very nice decorations

And as I said the monastery is in the middle of the city. So you can see the living buildings around.

And this is horse's hairs. That one impress me every time.
This monastery is quite small, but I like it, the colors are really beautiful and also this is not far from my home :-)

Finally!!!!

That's a very long story for a very small card!!!

Since I am working here I need some special registration: this alien card
To have it I was so many times in UB, and not to an easy accessible place, somewhere near the airport, just great!!! And then you have give them so many different papers, it was a nightmare.
But I needed to extend it until the 15th of July and for that again direction UB and many many papers again, from the city, from the school and from I don't know who.
And of course each time you have to pay!!!
That's a very painful process, I dislike it very much ….
But finally this is extended.
But guess what, I have to deregister before I am leaving, of course and for that they need new papers of course.
Why make it simple!!!!
But for the moment I am good :-)

how to learn Japanese from mongolian or how do I get schizophrenia :-)

My french student has offered me a book to learn japanese
On the cover this is written mongoru (mongolia)

but this is from mongolian.
So I can learn in parallel Japanese and mongolian :-)

this book is really great with a lot of pictures and drawing from Mongolia

this is the map of mongolia, with the train and the translations in Japanese

and here typical mongolian people and the wrestling

this is the map of UB with some explanation

and of course the great Genghis khan.
But learning japanese from Mongolian is not an easy thing :-)
But I am getting better everyday!!!!

Mongolian TV

At home I have a small TV where I can watch 5 channels!!!
Actually there are much more, but anyway I am not really interested!!
What is nice is that I can look at some shows with people in traditional clothes!
This one is supposed to be a black man, very funny:-)

And then here a collection of different dels, especially interesting are the hats.
This is the conic form
I really like the style and this is not for fun!!!

This is the one with the big fur, well for winter time this is quite useful!!!

This is small and big conic

And this is the cowboy hat.
Actually when you walk in the city or the countryside, you can see people wearing this clothes and hat. This is very common and I like it very much :-)

Children Day

So this friday was the official children day.
In Darkhan they have put some attractions for the children.

Everything possible, food, games, shops!!!

 This is the son of Boogii enjoying some mini boat

You can also ride horses if you want.
People in the city don't know anymore how to do it...

So my friend was a bit scared :-)

But still many people do !!!
The city was full of people, I have never seen so many people at once!!
