Homophones



There are few things Mongolians love more than socialism and the Beatles, so Ulaanbaatar may be the only place in the world where there are statues of Lenin and Lennon a few blocks away from each other. This makes me very happy.


(note the Playmobil billboard in the background. awesome.)

I'm back at work now after the weekend. It was pretty relaxing after a Friday night out until 6am. Which is early, because the rest of the people turned in at 10am. Mongolians are late nighters. I spent Saturday in a French cafe, and saw the circus the night. It was cool. They liked jumping around and making giant stacks of people. I spent Sunday afternoon sneakily taking pictures of a flooded development (it rained a ton Friday) for propaganda purposes, and reading Dostoevsky on a mountaintop. It was blissful.

And I got some pictures uploaded, some some older posts have been updated.

    a little better
    all the time

    I think I'm Mongolian; I like socialism and the Beatles, too. Throw in knowledge of Harcourt Place and I could be a Mongolian Hedge Fund manager.

    But tomorrow may rain, so
    I'll follow the sun.
