Ulaanbaatar
"Ulaanbaatar is an ugly city. The prevailing architectural trend is standard Communist-era block buildings. The main road, Peace Avenue, is beset with the Asian equivalent of strip malls.”

Ulaanbaatar
The Mongolian capital holds a few dubious honors. It's the fourth most polluted capital city in the world. It's also the coldest capital city in the world. It's also spectacularly unattractive, with a whole heap of post-Communist apartment blocks, shocking roads, and a pall of smog hanging over the whole thing.

There are places where friendly people, cheap prices, and scenic beauty abound, vastly underrated travel destinations well worth dropping off the grid to visit; Ulaanbaatar Mongolia is not such a place.

Ulaanbaatar
The infrastructure is poor, the traffic is awful, the architecture (if you can call it that) is not cohesive or aesthetically pleasing.

Going on our chins in front of #BogdKhanMuseum seems just like yesterday. Everything was very special, even the bruising I got on my chin

The morning activity for Nadaam starts with a military parade replete with brass band. Gotta love Mongolian Equestrian Culture.
