After arriving in UB we spent a few days wandering about looking at the sights. UB looks very Russian. I was expecting it to be very chinese but it definately feels more Eastern European. Lots of concrete tower blocks, long straight roads and communist statues left by the Russians. It's nice enough but definately not high on the pretty city list.
We have arranged to go on a tour around the countryside with our guesthouse (The Golden Gobi) which is really nice. It's family run and very homely. Mama makes everyone breakfast each morning. Yesterday they discovered that they had just got into the new edition of Lonely Planet so we had a party last night (lots of vodka). There are some very sore heads this morning.
