Day 7 of the tour saw us in Karakorum, the original capital of Mongolia. It's now just a bit of a dust town (tumbleweeds really do blow through the streets) but it does have a beautiful budhist temple.
After dinner we were entertained by an old guy with a Ghingis Khan mustache who played the traditional chinese flute, harp and horse fiddle. It was really good music. A lot more funky than I was expecting. It reminded me a little of American bluegrass. I have no idea what he sang about and it was really good. He also did throat singing which is just plain bizare. Definately, one of the highlights of this trip.
