Mongolian map

The town I will be teaching in is shown as Hovd on this map. It is also called Khovd.

Countdown

Countdown to Ulan Bataar has begun. I leave on 1/9, flying from Lexington to LA, Beijing and then on to Ulan Bataar, where I'll stay for 3 days while I register my visa, check in at the Ministry for Foreign Workers, etc.
