Mongolia

Well it's been a week since I returned from Mongolia and just thought I would add one more entry to the blog with some links related to the trip.

A selection of my photos from the trip can be found here

The sheep/goat ankle bones used for fortune telling and playing games are called Shagai and information on them can be found here
