Quick update
Hello friends and fam!We've had a really nice time here in Mongolia with a big thanks to Anne (Kyle's cousin once removed, yeah we figured it out finally) and Sam for letting us stay with them and being so hospitable and kind.After waiting in a stagnant line for almost an hour the ticket booth sudenly was thrown into activation mode and people almost step over eachother to get their tickets. We got one! so we will be heading to Beijing early tomorrow morning and arriving the day after that. Unfortunately we couldn't make our way south first on the local train and see the Gobi because the local trains are still closed. Can't win them all.The Plan:Beijing tomorr

(Just today we had to get face masks in order to use one of the only remaining open internet cafes. Fortunately I was allowed to wear my balaclava so I didn't have to buy a mask. Yay!)Then we headed out for a horse riding trek to the "Ancient Capital": a small, quite unexciting town. The horse trek was really

Here are some of my observations (perhaps completelyunrepresentative but this is what my [limited] experience has revealed tome).Hard to CommunicateWhen we first arrived, St. Petersburg was a busy place: crazy traffic,lots of small scale construction (one or two men working with hand tools on the side of the road) that would continue until 9 or 10 atnight, and plenty of uniformed men (police and many d
