Fed up of the rainy season and unable to travel anywhere as most countries in the region are facing monsoons and typhoons, I was both inspired and frustrated by Michael Palin’s North Korea Journal. So when I got to my desk I looked at the map and found Mongolia. With little hope I looked into visa and other regulations and it turned out that there are none. A far cry from the Soviet Days. That was last Friday and tomorrow morning I fly to Ulanbataar !
