Mongolian food update...

Fact #1: It is easier to find Mongolian barbeque in Quito, Ecuador, than in the capital of Mongolia itself!

Fact #2: It is worth looking for it as it is delicious :)

Fact #3: Camel milk sold from street vendors in fly infested containers with no lid on is easy to find...

Fact #4: ...and it tastes like urine (if I can accurately guess what camel urine tastes like)

Fact #5: The clear soup made of mutton fat is not too bad at all... especially if you have just had sour camel milk!

...I think it's time I double-checked my vaccinations booklet to make sure I am covered for Hepatitis B, Cholera and Typhoid!

Hello there!

It looks like you're having a great time. The places look fantastic (I'm not quite sure about the scorpions' souvlaki though!!).

Take care Marioz, hope you're far away from Georgia. S.Osetia etc!!


Dee-mos!
ps: I was about to report inappropriate content of photo, for the one with some black/white shirt :)))

Elementary my dear Dims,
the scorpions where the tastiest thing I've tried for a long time - pretty much like whitebait!!!
I cannot say the same about the rest of the insects and creepie crawlies though :/
And no more comments about the football shirt ;p
