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.

State Opera and Ballet Theatre 4

I am all out of ballet and opera tickets.  Horror of horrors!  I bought about six tickets, and the last ticket was for this past Saturday.  Actually, I have a small confession to make: for the past few weeks in a row, when it came time to go to the Opera House to use my ticket which I had already bought, I looked out my window at the cold day in Ulaanbaatar, I looked at my cosy, comfortable bed, I looked back out the window, I looked back at my bed, I considered which piece was being performed, I considered the money I would be wasting (less than $5, in both cases), I checked the schedule to see if I could catch the piece later on in the year, and I dove into bed and placed my covers over my head and fell soundly asleep.  Two weeks in a row!  Well, now I'm out of tickets, and I'm thinking that maybe if I'm going to pull that stunt very often, maybe I shouldn't buy any more tickets, but noooooo!  I love the State Opera and Ballet Theatre.  Once I actually motivate myself to leave my apartment and go out into the cold day, and once I actually arrive at the theatre, I love it!  I seriously love everything about this theatre!  Tomorrow, when the box office opens up, I'll buy maybe eight more tickets... that should keep me entertained until January.  And by the way, I really want this painting!
