at about 7:15, the lady says that a hill over there is called "Hill that crushed a monster". In Mongolian language, hills are often called "Толгой" or "Head" in Mongolian. Then at 7:28 she says "she wishes she could speak your language so she could give some historical facts of the area". Also the name Moron or sometimes spelled Murun means a large river. It is the administrative center of Khuvsgul province, and is where I was born. It's usually a little better in summer where you can go to the bazaar markets and buy fresh mountain wild berries, dairies, cheese, meat, and river and lake fish freshly caught. Otherwise it isn't the most exciting place. Lot of Europeans come in the summer mostly to do horse trekking in Khuvsgul area.

[@orgilbulganbayar2718]

At 7:30, the woman said that if you 2 knew Mongolian, she would have told you a beautiful story

[@ClintonMinton]

6:36 These are "tugs", "suides", or banners of yak/horse hair - a symbol of the Mongolian state or unification of the tribes. Usually there's 9 nine banners but I count 13 total banners here. Usually the white hair represents peace and black means war.

[@nothanks9503]

Is that because during time of war you cannot take care of the little things like cleaning the banner lol

Inspired by the grand tour, always wanted to see that place

[@ericmabley2120]

I went on holiday in Mongolia last year with my family and we passed through Moron on our way to a ger camp on Lake Khuvsgul. You're right - the city is rather dull and just a place to pass through and stop for petrol and supplies on your way to somewhere else. We flew to Moron from UB and then took a van from the airport to our camp. It's not pronounced the same as the English word "moron" - it's pronounced more like "murrun." As we were travelling through Mongolia on of my recurring thoughts was "Gee whiz, there's enough Soviet and communist remnants around here to give Mr Bald a 24 hour stiffy!"

[@michaelpeachey4283]

Thank you guys for traveling those places, so we don't have to 😂 I actually always wondered what Mongolia would be like, I saw some documentaries, but I thought they only show the desolated and isolated places... Well, looks like they didn't just draw a picture, there just simply wasn't much else to show 😊 but anyhow, it seems people there aren't too unhappy. I guess the less commodity you have, the less you need

Mongolia looks and sounds like a fascinating country to visit. Miles of rugged yet somewhat beautiful nothingness, down to earth locals and good mannered children suits me down to the ground. You should get to some sort of rural sporting event, if you are still there. You and Bald can thank your vlogs for selling the idea of travelling to Mongolia to me. Thank you!
