Outside of Ulan Bator

We went with a gang of people outside of the town do to some fishing. Getting to rural places is very difficult if you don't have a SUV or a Jeep. The road conditions are terrible, or i don't know if you can even call it roads. There are pot holes and serious flaws in the infrastructure  One of the biggest reason is the climate, in summer it's + 40 degrees and winter -40! The roads erode very easily and driving is difficult. Check HERE of how the driving was, pretty crazy. 

Bagi, Ulan Bator's most crazy driver
 Our pick-up truck

  Snow angels :)
 Sun was shining so -26 did not feel too bad
 Dried horsemeat, my daily diet for the whole stay here
 Beautiful winter landscapes

Huge dogs were walking around the area
 Local "deeku" walking around with a Vodka bottle
Cold plains
 We came with a bigger gang of about 10 people
 No one has used this railway in aaaageeeees
 Mountains and snow as long as the eye can see
 Fishy fishy
The fish we got are the same as Finland!

The houses outside the city, all burning coal to stay warm and looks like some iced slum of India
