Mongolia in ordinary daylight


Three different styles in architecture and photoshot from the countryside.

To me, it seems that Mongolia do have a few challenges to overcome and solve in the future.
Alcoholism is a major problem and people are suffering tremendously all around the country from this habits and their outcome. My impression is that Mongolians expect the government to do something about it, and seems disappointed, that too little has been made.
However, Mongolia is a free country in the sense that people can have their own opinion about right and wrong; political thoughts etc.

Dulaankhaan and Museum in Ulaan Baatur

The few cities built in Mongolia do have a characteristic “Soviet look”.
Surprisingly in UB (Ulaan Baatur) there was one official tiny garden with flowers, but from a closer look – it was a combination with plastic flowers!

For me as a tourist, I could not take away my eyes from all garbage laying everywhere; along roads, railway tracks, in suburbs, in national parks, lush valleys and rivers. Sadly, today you have to go very far away in wilderness, not to find plastic bags, vodka bottles and paper cans left in the landscape. We can only hope that this will soon change!
