I have something in my eye

With all this dust flying around, I have permanently gritty eyes and it bugs me.

Anyway - life has been pretty quiet lately, just work and home and some meals at my house, and the pub quiz.  I was the question master the other day, for the first time, and it was a lot of fun, but hard work to keep the crowd in check!

This weekend it is Nadaam, a big Mongolian festival, in which the three "manly sports" are practised.  these are Archery, Horse Riding and Wrestling.

I am keeping keeping away form the big celebrations, as I have heard it is quite overwhelming - crowded, full of pick pockets, hot and stuffy, and expensive.  Instead, I am heading out of the city on tuesday with some "in the know" people, to watch a kind of mini nadaam, which I think will be a lot more enjoyable.

So - that will be the NEXT blog post, but for now I thought I would put us some photos that I took today, I just walked along snapping away, so this is a chronicle of my walk into town, starting from my front door....

  1. Hi Caffers,

    My name is Martin and I am writing to you on behalf of a website that I am currently involved in starting up. We aim to provide prospect volunteers with all the information they need in order to feel confident in their choice of organisation, position and destination, as well as inspire people to make the jump and try out volunteering.

    As a part of that, I was wondering whether you might be interested in answering a few questions and perhaps sharing any advice you may have for people who are considering to volunteer.

    If you think you might have time to do this, I'd love to hear from you. You can reach me through info@volunteeringinfo.org, and you can view the website I'm representing at www.volunteeringinfo.org.

    Thanks, and keep up your amazing work!

    Martin Jonsson
