Be like snow, cold but beautiful (Lana Del Rey)<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/blockquote>\n

UB<\/h2>\n

As most of you might know it is winter in Mongolia and not just one of the relaxed weeks with just minus 25\u2026 no\u2026. around this time is the coldest period<\/strong> of the year which means temperatures below minus 35<\/strong> and more. Nevertheless this does not shock us to plan a trip to Sainschand<\/strong>, a city founded in 1931, which is around 450km southeast from UB. We means, Stefan<\/strong>, a german teacher from School 38, Johannes<\/strong>, who just arrived for a business trip and has never been to Mongolia, Jessy<\/strong>, volunteer from school 38, Kirsten<\/strong>, volunteer from school 1, Denise<\/strong>, intern at the GIZ, Sigrun<\/strong>, the wife of Christoph who is teacher at the Goethe School and me. Not to forget Tseegii<\/strong> as our guide and Naraa<\/strong> our driver, whom Kirsten, Jessy and me welcomed with a joyful \u201cNaraaaaaaa\u201d! We all had to fit in the lovely Russian bus \u0444\u0443\u0440\u0433\u043e\u043d and then off we go.<\/p>\n

Saturday<\/h2>\n

On the way to Sainschand we had to talk a lot we most of us didn\u2019t know each other. Johannes had to survive his jetlag a bit and after half of the journey we stopped for a late lunch, predinner meal in the middle of nowhere. It took us in total around 9 hours to get via Choir to Sainschand<\/strong>. Unbelievable. And you have to imagine that the car does not get warm, this is why we sat inside with all our jackets, scarfs and gloves on\u2026 Brrrrrr. \u00a0We tried to warm up with summer songs \ud83d\ude42 \u00a0You have to imagine just a straight-tarred road<\/strong> (Australians will know how it looked like, despite everything frozen and snowy). The evening we just had a quite one, sitting together and chewed the fat about this and that.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
