as an American I love living in Mongolia. The travel can be difficult but on a motorcycle it is alot of fun. It is definitely a different world but it is a good world and a beautiful country and the people are great. I highly suggest visiting MONGOLIA at least once.Visit during the summer,winter here can be very brutal.

Yes, as a Mongolian who travels my country every year (travels for 4-5 days with my family) I can say that you need every traveling, hiking necessaries like canteens, traveling bags, rolling beds, USBs etc. Sometimes I gotta sleep in the car because I like it and I just can't deal with bugs. But traveling with 5 cars full of family members are fun man you can race, climb hills, and sometimes get your car stuck in sand but having associates in the places is very helpful because you can camp at their place. But you definetly need GPS cause you can get lost really easily in the dark and because of the natural terrain.

As a Native Mongolian, I want to tell about of Mongolia. Mongolia is beautiful. Large territory, fresh air, blue sky, green lawn, livestocks, snow topped mountains and peaks, lakes, deserts and rich resources, traditional lifestyle. But unfortunately i want to let you know terrible truth of Mongolia. Actually its the one of most corrupted country in the world. Parliament and Presidential elections are controlled by Russian and Chinese government and its corrupted and injustice. The laws sounds humanity, justice but it doesn't work properly. Also there are so many unmarried male foreigners come from China, Korea,, Russia, Turkey, Vietnam, Japan, Yankee, German, Arabic. They owned and controlled major factories and businesses. They bribed Mongolian politicians and get licenses for mines and industries. In Mongolia there are So many private much Expensive hospitals becuz Mongolian Public health systems are maybe worst. People divided into 2 major groups. The Oligarch rich and the Poor. An addicting in alcohol getting younger and more popular. Smoking is almost everyone except children to 12old. Girls prostitutes themselves in more hidden ways. 4example. Imagine you earn at least 1000$ or more a month. Teen girls, young ladies will follow you. If They got unwanted pregnant jts so easy to abort like to wash hands. Girls dream is to get married with any Foreigner. They think foreigners are rich and smart.! This is why education system getting worser since the 1990. Absolutely Most of people don't understand don't speak even single word in foreign languages such as English Russian German or Spanish and so on. . There is no freedom for press. All Radio& TV channels, and newspapers, internet networks, especially telecommunication companies controlled by foreign and domestic powers. Almost no one knows Mongolian national main data base is under chinese and korean sights. Its located in western district in UB. Besides we have no rights to protect our rights. If we would demand human basic rights politicians won't listen or they will arrest people and then jail or kill us. . Besides Foreign governments are just supporting Mongolian Oligarch. They know Mongolia is corrupted. Because foreigners and Mongolian politicians want to keep it corrupted. WE WANT DEEP REVOLUTION IN MY HOMELAND. ! I already began from a small thing.! Sooner Mongolia will change.
