It’s always
strange when you imagine a place to be so exotic and foreign – then when you
arrive the land appears very similar to places you’ve been before. Mongolia and its capital, Ulaanbaatar, were
like that for me. Flying over southern Mongolia reminded me of flying over the
deserts of my current home state of Nevada, while the area around Ulaanbaatar
was much like areas in the state I grew up, Montana, with its mountains and
grass-covered valley.
The Air China magazine article on Mongolia was titled “Land
in Transition” and UB definitely projects this imagine. Wandering the streets, you can see:
The Old The New
The
visual highlight for me was definitely Sukhbaatar Square
My stop here was supposed to allow me to prepare for the
journey ahead. However, my progress was
limited. I did send my first Tweet and took
my first video with my GoPro, but then decided I really needed Lila to manage
Twitter and thankfully Yeison Kim from mytanfeet.com in Costa Rica is helping me
with video production. A group that is
making progress is Prof Amarbayasgalan Ravdan and the
staff at the Neurology Department of Mongolian State Hospital, No. 1. Their staff include 8 Neurologists that cover
all inpatient and outpatient care and they just happen to be hosting a National
Stroke Conference that began on the day of my first run.
I must admit my first 4 mile run was really fun! I have been waiting a long time for this day
and it was nice to have it finally arrive.
The highlight was about 2 minutes into the run. A toddler and his mother in front of me
started to run and were laughing as I past.
Then I looked ahead and saw a young girl start to run toward me to catch
the bus and then a middle-age man darted across the road to avoid on-coming
cars. I was a surreal moment where it seemed
that the only thing I could see in the picture were the people that were
running. It made realize what we take
for granted and made me enjoy the run even more.
