Ulaanbaatar (Red Hero)

Exploring this interesting somewhat deserted city

Deserted because of the Lunar Festival (Tsagaan Sar)

We were left to our own devices, and took to the streets,

quiet, empty, eery, and yet exhilarating.

We just wandered.

Nothing was open,

apart from our eyes, ears,

and skin (feeling the chill and sun at the same time)

listen to this magic sound

Ulaanbaatar was built by the Soviets in 1924 hence the Red City name

(my assumption)

This is the main square.

Full of surprises ;

Ice Sculptures

No signs, No warnings, Just experience.

And experience we did.

Very difficult to walk on the ice – see the video 😉

We found one store that was open:

Like any department store anywhere in the world.

Such beautiful flowers.

And I even replaced the power pack which is now safely in the

hands of the PRC 😂

Quirky, quaint, queer – just surprises

We wandered around, finding corners, spaces and

EVEN the Beatles – go figure 😂

But that was not the quirkiest

How about an ATM Pizza Machine!!!!!!!

We couldn’t read the instructions or we would have had one

There was coffee, cake, sharing and hang out time

And preparation for a day today,

The likes of which you will not believe –

but will have to wait
