This is fascinating! So kind of them to welcome you I to their home. And now I know a sign in MSL! Airag! How did it taste, I wonder...

[@DeafinitelyWanderlust]

[Transcript: A light-skinned female, named Stacey, with medium brunette hair. Stacey is wearing blue/black coat. She’s standing front of a traditional Mongolian home called, ger. She’s facing center of the screen. Title is “how to show good manners when traveling”] If you are going to Mongolia and you want to stay or visit families who live in a Ger then it is important for you to learn what manners you should know before visiting! are you ready for this?! [cut to different clips of Stacey’s experience in a ger. Right top of the screen show “For Deaf guide in Mongolia, use Mongolian Deaf Tour!”] [cut to Stacey and a young Deaf Mongolian man on the right side of the screen. He is dressing in a traditional clothings that consist a light blue and white hat, dark blue deel and boots. He has grayish black and slight mustache.] can you explain what is important for people to know about visiting families who live in Ger? First, this is important for you to know: Whether people visit from the USA, Europe or wherever, they see nomadic families, especially the head of the family, who generally sit down on the power seat, how do you greet them respectfully? do we shake hands? or do we shake by grabbing the wrists/arms? how do we do it? [An older Hearing Mongolian man, who is the owner of her, appeared on frame. He is also wearing a traditional clothings that consist a hat, deel and boots. He has brown hair and he seems to have Fu Manchu moustache.] Hearing Mongolian male (HMM): you greet like this (gesturing) if you are younger, we greet like this [Another older Deaf Mongolian man, who is the owner of Mongolian Deaf Tour, appeared on frame. He is wearing a swirl neon blue/pink hat and dark blue winter jacket.] do not do this to an older person: it has to be like this: is it also the same for female and male? does it matter? Jamtsaa: no, it's the same for them just to make sure for me, how do I greet the elder respectfully? (I am gesturing): can I greet you? HMM (gesturing): yes, you can HMM (gesturing about how his wife do not greet that way.) Jamtsaa: when his wife has two or more children, the spouses do not greet each other like that only guests will greet them like that. that's what he saying. it's important that you know this: this is a respectful way to greet someone who's older: let's say if he's older and I'm younger than him, Jamtsaa: like that. but if I am older than him, then it's this way: Jamtsaa: for those who have the same age: wow, that's really interesting. Stacey: what about between women? is it the same? (men in the back are saying it's the same) Jamtsaa: yes, it's the same for them Jamtsaa: do you understand? stacey: yes, I understand, thank you! Jamtsaa: when it's a very older person, an elder, you greet them by giving a kiss on cheeks stacey: oh? on both cheeks? it's only for the elder ones? Jamtsaa: yes, that's right. for those like our ages, we do not kiss them we do the arm greetings only. the second thing you need to know is: it's not respectful to go through this? Jamtsaa: going through these, no, no. (Jason's behind the camera, saying no and how you need to go around) (Jason signed "no" to step on the door threshold) Jamtsaa: don't step on the door threshold either Jamtsaa: that's the right way. don't forget to step over the threshold: the third thing you need to know is: Jamtsaa: Do not lean on their ger Jamtsaa: they do not like it Stacey: it is to respect their home (ger) Jamtsaa: to respect their culture. Jamtsaa: do not lean like that either. Jamtsaa: that was funny! stacey: another thing you need to know is: when you're visiting families here, you have to bring food....? (looking at Jamtsaa) Jamtsaa: it can be food or anything else. bring it and give it to them and you're showing that you're respecting their culture Stacey: could it be alcohol or - Jamtsaa: yes, alcohol! usually, it's for the man of the house whoever is the head of this home and owes ger, you give the alcohol of him. Do you understand? you must know that giving the alcohol to the father and you also can give food to his wife. stacey: what happens if we don't bring anything? Jamtsaa: it's okay but just make sure to respect them when we, tourists, visit families in a ger, and we were offered some food, out of respect, you need to accept the offer. we could even try it a little bit? (asking Jamtsaa) Jamtsaa: yeah, you can try a little at least stacey: we eat a little bit but just need to at least eat some of their food and drink. if you just reject it, they may feel that it wasn't respectful. like trying one of their drinks a little and then just put it back on the table Jamtsaa: yes, put it back on the table. Jamtsaa: okay, I want to show you something Jamtsaa: when you are given this, and then if you drank it all of it and left it empty, they will pour it again look... ah, and you do not drink it while standing you have to sit down. Jamtsaa: see it? (he drank it half) stacey: if i really drank it all, does that mean he (the father) WILL pour more? Jamtsaa: yes!! he will. Stacey: so he absolutely will... stacey: this tastes like... alcohol....(asking Jamtsaa) a horse milk? Jamtsaa: yes, that's right. stacey: it is a horse milk but it's naturally an alcohol (asking Jamtsaa) how is that possible? by boiling? Jamtsaa: no, no, no. Jamtsaa: first they will milk a horse, and after they milk the horse in the bucket, which can take more than an hour, two hours or more to fill it up to the whole bucket by nighttime, the person will pour into another bucket they will start churning the milk for hours for about 1-3 days and then it becomes ready and then you can drink it within the next day. Stacey: he will spell it in Mongolian Sign Language and I'll spell it out in American Sign Language (ASL) Stacey: that's the name of that drink. (asking Jamtsaa) is there a sign for it? Jamtsaa: yes, there is a sign for it. it is Jamtsaa (asking the man of the Ger): we cannot put our feet on the table Stacey: do not lay back on the chair and put your feet up like that (HMM gesturing "it's bad!!!") (Nemekhbayar of Mongoilan Deaf Tour is laughing) Jamtsaa: he's saying that by putting your feet up it considered disrespectful with respect, he feels that his home and life will prosper Stacey: these are ger etiquettes that you have to know to show respect when visiting, right? Jamtsaa: yes, that's right! stacey: thank you, thank you for explaining! and thank the owner of Ger who is Hearing he gestures really good! Jamtsaa: thank you! thank you! bye! [waving goodbye] [cut to the center of the screen, a square animated image logo of Mongolian Deaf Tour is shown, displaying white ger sitting center of the green mountain and blue sky. Below, a typed white text appeared “A Big thank you to Mongolian Deaf Tour and Deaf family!” Below, it also shows a Facebook logo and “Mongolian Deaf Tour.” At the bottom, white typed text is shown: I personally recommend them and support Deaf people who are making businesses!”] [cut to an image of stacey’s standing center, looking down smiling.
