Re: Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia (Adventures & Misadventures)
ok i have made 50 trips across the china-mongolia border at erlian(china) to zamyin udd(outer mongolia) these past 3 years
so i shall share some personal incidents here
the neo nazi mongols in mongolia are fanatics
it does not matter whether you can speak fluent mongol or not
even you can speak fluent mongol ,they will attack you if you are han chinese
by that i mean malaysian chinese, singaporean chinese,thai chinese, indonesian chinese or china chinese
if you pretend to be mongol, these fanatics will ask you detailed info
which part of mongolia are you from? town ,city,etc
i saw a group of malaysian chinese being robbed at knife point in zamyin udd(the mongol border town near china border)
the mongolia police is notoriously corrupt
at the china-mongolia border it is common practice for the mongol soldiers to ask foreigners for bribes or money or cigarettes
at night in mongolia never try to venture out alone on your own if you are a newbie
you may get beaten up by drunken mongolian youths or worse get robbed or stabbed by these fanatics
anyway there are a lot of mongolian Wgs in erlian (the china border town next to mongolia) ,all of these girls are on 30 days tourist visa
they work in bars and the massage parlours
by the way now 1 rmb is 300 mongol MNTs
which explains why many monglian WLs want to work in china
