Yin Yang in Selenge Fields ptomotes rapeseed and alternative fuels

Jeroen Nooter send us a picture of the project he has been working. He has been traveling a couple of times from western european clay towards the Mongolian steppes on vehicles that ran on nothing but vegeatable oil and a smile.

Now he succesfully completed a Crop Circle of his own. With farmer Chuluun he created a Yin Yang by a combination of rapeseed and wheat in his efforts to have people think in different ways about crops and how to manage Mother Earth.

Giving Garbage

National Park Ticket

It is always rather pretentious to make fun of other one’s language abilities, especially because i lack in them considerably in myself. But sometimes things are just funny enough to pass them on.
This picture here is the backside of the entrance ticket to a National Park, the Terelj Park in this case. It conveniently gives a list of services provided to visitors in the park. Most interesting is point 3, where it says the park is….

To provide with information, brochure booklets, warning and garbage

When we enlightened our loyal driver on the issue, he ousted one of his high shrieking laughs, opened his window again and shouted at his friend the national park ranger while pointing at the ticket: “It says: We give you garbage!”

khuushuur — Fri, 20 Oct 2006 16:47:00 +0000

The new Mongolian Tugrug note of 20,000 features a purple and green Chinggis, adding a new coulour scheme to the series of notes. The bank notes were recently launched and started circulating in the regular currency traffic. The 20,000 note now is the one with the highest value in circulation in Mongolia, with a value of around USD 17. The cover image is the same as the five hundred to ten thousand notes, but on the rear side an image of the national white banners is featured.

On the Web: Ulaanbaatar Subway

khuushuur — Tue, 20 Sep 2005 03:21:00 +0000

Not many people know about it and especially pictures are rare. But there is one enthusiast who has dedicated a web site to the Ulaanbaatar Metro, or Metroo as it is called. Here is a picture of the Zuun Urt station that is featured on the website, but also a subway map is digitally available. The guestbook is another feature on the site, with some interesting comments from both believers and non-believers.

!! – For those not so aware of the public transport situation in Mongolia – there is reason to doubt the actual existence of the subway.
The website on the purely fictional UB subway is made by Yumzhagiin Oodarghal and as can be seen in the guestbook many people found it realistic enough to believe it, while others took amusement in continuing the joke – !!
