One evening of quiet nomad life and then back to the city the next day. Ulan Bator is the capital and about 1 million people so roughly the size of Seattle. I am at an actual homestay here (but still have my own room) which is really nice and comfortable. Its in a apartment building in the southern part of the city and there is lots of hustle and bustle. People playing basketball, children on the playground in front of the building and babies crying. Apparently a third of the population is under 14 and you can really tell – kids everywhere!
Anyway no solid plans, but just two days to wander – happy to find this internet cafe so I can update you all. Stay tuned for more pictures and more stories. Tomorrow onto Beijing!

Hey, Carla — so great to hear from you and read about your adventure. Thanks, so much, for sharing. We’ll pass your link along so others can keep up, too. Please send your architectural impressions along, too. I think about you every morning as I pass the house, wondering how it’s going. Wonderful to hear that you are enjoying it. xxoo Sydney

Hey Carla -
I’m back in Seattle and I just wanted the tell you that I think that your blog is awesome and it sounds like you are having a blast over there. I would love to see more of your pictures and I hope that you keep up the entries so that we can all see what you are up to. I will be posting my photos of Utah/SE Asia/Idaho soon so that you can see my adventures. Anyway, I hope that you stay safe and continue to enjoy yourself over there. Its weird for me to be back – its going to take a while to get back into the swing of things! Take care and have fun.
