I think that our phenomenon known as Black-Friday exists only in the United States. For years I did not understand that the word black in the term Black-Friday meant the day all merchants would be in-the-black in terms of making a profit for the day’s sales.<\/p>\n

MY ADDRESS IN ULAANBAATAR<\/span><\/p>\n

I do NOT expect anyone reading this to understand it unless they are Mongolians. So don’t fret if you haven’t a clue. Smiles .. Cap<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Gord 48025, you asked me to give you the address of my apartment here in Ulaanbaatar.<\/p>\n

I have to chuckle Gord. Watch what you ask for, what you get may not be what you expected. Here is my local Mongolian Address Gord.<\/p>\n

\u0411\u0410\u042f\u041d\u0413\u041e\u041b\u00a0 \u0414YY\u0420\u042d\u0413<\/span><\/p>\n

Now to make matters worse (for both of us Gord, me as well as you) below is the address in ‘conversational’ Mongolian<\/p>\n

\u0411\u0410\u042f\u041d\u0413\u041e\u041b\u00a0<\/span> \u0414YY<\/span>\u0420\u042d\u0413\u00a0 The \u041b and the YY are proper.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Today was a very busy day for me. I arose earlier than usual to attend my morning meeting (8AM to 8:45AM).\u00a0 Then after the meeting, I immediately took a bus downtown to mail post cards and purchase additional post cards and stamps, add time to my two cell phones, do some shopping, and return home on the bus. We had some snow and that made it beautiful and dangerously slippery at the same time.<\/p>\n
