Hmm, sitting in UB waiting for photos to print. The pain of a high mega-pixel camera with a decent printer.

Came back from Vancouver to here and it was warm and sunny, a few days later it was snowing again. April in Mongolia is one of the most variable months of the year. The green is slowly coming out in the countryside and the muggers out onto the streets of UB. The US embassy here issued a warning this morning about targeted muggings around one of the central parts of town. The scary thing is the muggers don’t demand money, they just strangle you unconscious before going through your pockets – nice. Mental note: check the ‘use-by’ date on my canister of mace…
