| View from the top of a sacred (burial?) mound of the growing and changing city. Keep in mind that construction comes to a stop for the duration of the very cold and cruel winter. |

| To her horror her cell-phone slipped from her hand and fell when the crowded bus we were in hit a large bump. Seeing it fall, from the corner of my eye, I caught it with my elbow, pinning it against her, er, upper thigh. With a big grin she carefully retrieved it. No one else noticed. She said 'thank you' (I smiled and thought the same) when she left the bus. |

| Maybe not the official city center, but definitely my center of Ulaanbataar. The 'Fab Four' reminder does not hurt, but straight ahead is the State Department Store, and on the right, in the yellow colored building, was my wonderful private room of the downtown part of the LG guesthouse. Almost everything you wanted was in walking distance from here, including almost immediately to the left of this image, a top notch Internet place. |
