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.

Bringing the Farm into Town

I posted a picture that looks almost exactly like this one last month.  If you shifted just a couple of degrees to the South, it might actually be the same picture.  In fact, I may have even been standing in roughly the same spot on Peace Bridge when I took the other picture.  What I was trying to capture here (and what I think I failed to capture) was the fact that someone had brought their cows to graze in this big open space (yep, those specks that you can just barely make out are cattle).  Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera with me and I can't zoom with my iPhone, so this was the best I could do.  Another time, I saw some cattle grazing on a very small triangular patch of grass that was in between the two lanes of the highway, but that time, I didn't even have my iPhone with me.  The only other place I've ever seen farm animals roam freely around a town was in a very small and remote village on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia.
