I arrived in UB in the morning and shortly there after I met my host family. I met the father, the daughter who is 9, and the son who is 18. They are very nice although don't speak very much English. The apartment is very nice and the best part is I have Belle sheets. Trying to tell them where I am going is always an interesting activity.
Later in the day I got quite a tour of UB. We visited several of the main attractions including the main monastery and the Parliament. The city is a very strange place, the Mongolians really like to start building very large buildings but very rarely like to finish them. There is quite a nice layer of dust covering the entire city. The only problem with the first day was that I learned I don't like Mongolian food, should make for an interesting 4 months. Also, the woman standing next to me is Stephanie, a volunteer from Berlin.
