Saw an interesting post about Mongolia, so I decided to translate it into English. I have never been in Mongolia, actually I have never been anywhere, so this post is just a translation. I can not emphasize it more, this post doesn’t represent my view to Mongolia. I have a feeling that I over rated the popularity of my blog.
Anyway, this is the post:
How scarcely populated the Mongolia is?70% of the country is depopulated zone, at least 50 % of it have never been stepped by human. Steppe is large, they say there was one truck driver fell a sleep with his foot on the accelerator, few hours later, the driver woke up, and the truck was still running on the steppe.
They say Mongolia is heaven for hiking?What I wanna say is that it’s hell, you really could die in the field.
It’s said that promiscuity is normal in Mongolia?That’s true for the youth, but no one would be so foolish to do that.
What if I want promiscuity!?You would die. Unless you’re an overseas student, congratulations! I believe this is the easiest place for you to get a beautiful blond girl, they are all lonely.
It’s normal for Mongolians get married and pregnant early?There are 18 girls in our class, 6 of them are married, 3 of them had babies.
Mongolians could be very good friends?Only if you can be their friends. When you have a Mongolian friend, you will know none of your former friends is friend.
What’s the funniest thing in Mongolia?Unless high treason, there are no dead sentences. That’s right, even you killed and raped dozens of juveniles, to the most you would face is a maximum sentence of 20 years. Yet, no one can survive 20 years in their jail.
It’s said that the Mongolians are ugly?You can find many, many Euro-Asia mixed-blood beauties on the street, however, it is true that Mongolia is the only place where the classic aesthetic standards still work in Asia. So the super stars there will remind you portraits of Tang and Song China.
Are they really good at fighting?They say that in the communist period, Mongolians are the only people who can bully Russians in Russia.
Are they tough?Ever heard of Genghis Khan?
Am I gonna get beaten up there?Unless you never go out of the hotel. The consolation is they are meaner to each other, so don’t take it personal.
If I got beaten up, should I call the police?Do you want to get beaten up again?
Are Chinese safe there?Technically, no foreigners are safe. Yet, you are Chinese, you can pretend to be one of them, so you’re definitely safer than white people.
Is it true that senators of Mongolia appeal a reunion of China and Mongolia?Never ever mention this there.
What would I do if I am in danger?If the police, hooligans, or drinkers are around, avoid them. If they call you, do not go to them. If you run, 99% of the time they are too lazy to chase you, but if you don’t run, you might die.
What kind of protection is helpful?A running machine. Train yourself run faster, it can save your life. So it is highly recommended that girls never wear high heel shoes. Remember, morning jogging is not a substitute for running machine.
What if you are seriously injured?Do not go to the hospital there. Take an airplane for home.
Is the medical condition really that bad there?There is a true story about a foreigner who got a stomachache, a Mongolia doctor treated him several days, the pain were not eased. So the doctor got the patient’s hand, told him with tears :”go home, other wise you’ll die here”.
