Hope you enjoy the new town pictures below. This past week was Tsetserleg's Naadam. In case you're not familiar with it, Naadam is the annual festival of the three manly sports ie wrestling, horseracing and archery. I'm always surprised how laid back the Mongols are about Naadam. They come out to watch it the first day and on TV from UB, but by the second day you're just as likely to "Europe people" as Nasaa would say. Anyway, it was good to see Naadam in a new aimag and I missed the crush of people in town for the UB's Naadam. The city seems oddly deserted now. Guess it's because most of the banks and government offices are closed. As per usual, follow the picture to picture to the gallery.
We also took some visiting tourists to the mythical cave bar located in a nearby ger camp. You really have to see it to appreciate the glorious ambiance. Hope the pictures do it justice. It was definitely worth the trek up the valley to get to it. Hopefully the kareoke is working next time we go. Follow picture the the gallery.
