Ger furniture at the Narantuul market. The furniture is light for easy lifting when the gers are seasonally moved. This bright orange is definitely the traditional colour. I wonder why? #markets #colorful

The Narantuul market is big and busy. It is open for 6 days of the week (not Tuesdays). It is especially interesting to see the uniquely Mongolian boots, belts, horse gear and bright orange ger furniture. Tourists are warned that is not safe there because of pickpockets etc. I found it to be no more scary than any big market where we should all be careful anyway. #markets
The fairly humble Dolmaling Nunnery and Tumen Amgalan Complex is in an impoverished area on the outskirts of Ulaanbaatar. We went along to make and serve soup to people who have no way of getting by without the support of the Buddhist temple.
Greeting with historical figures :)

I took this photo as a 360 degrees image. I am interested to see how it looks on Trover. There is a mural running the whole way around the monument and you can see people looking down the hill back to UB. The monument was built by the Russians as a memorial to unknown soldiers and heroes.
