light breathing may be possible
Training of trainers and orientation days are finished, and I’m back in the capital for the first full weekend “off” I’ve had here. Course, I’m working on other things – friends of mongolia newsletter, thesis, IT stuff, banana bread? – but at least it’s a change. It’s pretty quiet here due to world cup, but the most important development is that there is a korea-based donut chain with a branch in Mongolia. I haven’t been there yet, but it’s a major goal for next weekend.
The other thing is that there’s a place that makes pho here – Kenny Rogers Roasters(? which is similar-ish to Boston Market). It’s not tooo bad, but could be improved.
Randomly, the other person in the coffeeshop here is a lama who I assume is Tibetan as I can’t understand what he’s saying on skype. He also produced from somewhere in his robes an iPad and a 13″ macbook.
In other other news, no one has called me since I got here – I know I’m hard to get to, but huh.

Charlene just wanted to let you know that Anki is now in Mongolian (did you have anything to do with that?) I’m so excited to get this wonderful program into the hands of my English students. Plus, someone loaded a 1000+ cards on the deck list, complete with English audio. That should be very helpful for the students. Anyway, just wanted to let you know since I know you had at least a hand in on this program.
