Une Canadienne Errante

That's me! Just another wandering Canadian, moving around the globe, always looking for my next adventure and my next destination! I started this blog because, before I made the decision to move to Mongolia, I wanted to see what my new city would look like, but all I could find when I searched for images of Mongolia were landscape images. I had no clue what Ulaanbaatar looked like right up until the day I landed. This blog was born so maybe other people might have a better sense of what Ulaanbaatar looks like, if they want or need to know. I've been an expatriate in Ulaanbaatar since September, but before that, I lived in Korea, Kuwait, and France. I'm considering moving to Myanmar in June-- I'll keep you posted. I'm kind of a homebody and a loner, but I also like to walk around a lot, which provides plenty of opportunities for pictures and observations. Being a loner, I rarely share my observations with others, but I'll share some here. I never proofread and rarely edit, so sorry in advance for all the typoes that are likely to sneak their way into this blog.

In the moment

I like finding neat examples of Asian architecture in Mongolia, like this gate (?) in downtown Ulaanbaatar.  I'm not sure what the name of this street is, but this is right in front of Tengis (the movie theatre), whatever that street is.  Also, I love taking photos of people unawares.  I know that politesse dictates that I should ask before taking a person's picture, but then you just get these really obvious pose pictures, and sometimes that works out fine, but lots of the time, it doesnt.  I don't know the people in this picture, but I like the in-the-moment-ness of their conversation, and I wouldn't have captured that if I would have stopped to ask them their permission.
