Today in Ulaan Baatar I explored the city and walked around the huge Sukbaatar Square, which is dominated by the modern Parliament building but softened by the pink colonial-style Opera house facing the setting sun.
During this sun set, we had a beer at a bar on the square where the famous London-Ulaan Baatar Rally ends. The rally had just finished and a few battered and DIRTY cars we being ogled by a few Westerners.
It is interesting because this is one way that cars get into Mongolia. Well, obviously, but it is interesting because cars in Mongolia are both left- and right-side drive! There didn't seem to be a majority of either, although they drive on the right side of the road, like in the US.
