We zipped into Ulaanbaatar chasing a wailing ambulance, on the wrong side of the road! Our opportunistic driver latched on, taking full advantage of the city’s lax traffic rules. As we bounced and weaved through pock-marked streets, in stuttering cacophonous columns of traffic, we couldn’t help but think of Ulaanbaatar as a concrete thorn of industry, thrusting out of the pristine Mongolian landscape.
We lucked in on a small private room, the size of a walk-in closet, at the Khongor Guesthouse, smack in the heart of town. A double bed filled the width of our room, and left barely enough space for our backpacks at its foot. A small window opens to the busy Peace Avenue, letting in a crisp welcome breeze, along with the elegant growls of locals, and telegraphic honks of their vehicles. We plopped down, amidst snow white sheets, and drifted off, letting the energy of the bustling city invade our dreams.
