1. People in Ulaanbaatar jay-walk everywhere. They are constantly walking in front of cars, behind cars, in-between cars. I’m pretty sure they’d just climb right over top of the cars if there wasn’t enough room in between them.
2. Mongolians are not as short as I had anticipated. This is a good thing.
3. I do not stand out as much as I did in China, which is a relief. I don’t know if it is because 95% of my body is covered, they are used to Westerners, or I am in fact not that interesting. No matter the reason, I’m happy about it.
4. I should have invested in waterproof mascara before coming. When walking around outside, ice forms on my eyelashes and smudges my mascara around my eyes.
I'm glad you are able to blend in :-) Do you look like a ninja when you dress for the cold? Your eyes would be the only tell!
