And I can feel it! But I have to say that I am grateful to be in a country that I don't immediately start to sweat in.

I arrived last night after a short plane flight from Beijing but a long layover there. Because of the snow in Ulan Bator they delayed us 12 hours. Luckily I was able to get a free hotel room and food all day long so it turned out to be the easiest layover that I have ever had. My guesthouse is pretty great. It's small but cozy and with a lot of interesting people and a nice staff. If you want to take a look at where I am staying go to YouTube and search for UB Guesthouse. There should be a video that takes you through my accomidation.

I have met some of my group already and am going to go for a wander in a bit and check out the city. From what I can tell so far I really like the city. I will write a bit more when I see more. And just to let you know in advance I won't be able to post pictures here. I just don't have the ability. So you will have to wait until I get back to the states for that most likely. Sorry.
