      I’m ethnically Chinese but never been there, well only the airport … but why’s it suck so much?

      I know people that wanna go back due to cost of living but I heard housing isn’t cheap neither (depending on where you live perhaps?)

      I have a mongolian friend, he said it was a choice between a dystopian city or the vast empty nature. I guess if you like nature it could be good but the density is sooooo low there are places where you wont see civilization for hundreds of kilometers.

      That’s interesting, what was Mongolia like and were you there for specific work opportunities or just because you liked moving around?

      Edit: hang on… North Korea…

        A person lying on the internet…who could have foreseen this?

        I’ve been to most of these countries, they are all very nice. But like with anywhere it kinda depends on when and where you are, and you typically won’t get a real sense of the place unless you have a lot of time to travel.

        The country side of Mongolia is beautiful in the warm season, I hear it’s pretty barren and freezing when it’s cold. About 50% of the population lives in Ulaanbaatar and it has a pretty bad issue with air pollution. It was very smoggy when I visited, and I hear it gets a lot worse in the winter season when it regularly has some of the worst air pollution in the world.

    This makes me think I’d enjoy a Beauty and the Beast movie set in Mongolia with this guy as Gaston’s character, but renamed “Galdan.”

    Really looking forward to his version of Gaston’s song featuring, yurts, archery, yaks, mare’s milk, etc.

    All three of the people pictured died shortly thereafter while trying to fire a longbow on the back of a horse with their feet.
