Hello all,
It’s been quite some time since I’ve updated my blog. There hasn’t been too much happening since the last update, but I’ll give it a go.
Sometime in the Fall, Corey, a fellow PCV, made his way out to Khovd. My counterpart helped him find a Khuumii (throat singing) teacher. Here is a video of four different types of Khuumii.
In November, I went to Uvs Aimag (North of Khovd) for West Thanksgiving. Wonderful food and great times were had by all. I was also able to go to Ulaanbaatar this year (2012) for Thanksgiving thanks to required flu shots!
In December, we celebrated Christmas. We got together with some other families in Khovd and had a nice time.
New Year’s was celebrated at my school for my students, at a club for my teachers, and around Khovd for volunteers.
Here are a few pictures from the past few months:
