On This Day – May 5th 2017, Terelj Mongolian Adventure!
Today I’m cranking back the yearometer to 2017 this time, when I was on my Trans-Mongolian adventure from Beijing to Moscow via Ulaan Baatar. I wonder where I was on this exact day back in 2017… oh wow! It was the day I went on a bit of a tour in Mongolia from Ulaan Baatar to Terelj!
That’s a Little Different! – Three Interesting Spots Across Asia
Today I wanted to write about three places that I have grouped together that are a bit different. On the continent of Asia, from India, China and errr… China again! They are all coloured with many a different colour, and they all made me wonder ‘really?’
