Dressing up Mongolian Style




During a scavenger hunt at Field Forum in Terelj National Park, we had a chance to stop by a ger and share a bowl of tea (for points). Our team picked a very hospitable family, and though we didn't win, had an AMAZING cultural experience. The man of the house whom is pictured above is in his sixties and was a state champion in wrestling years ago. While we were there he tried on his wrestling attire and then gestured for me to put it on....So, I thought I was getting ready to put on the traditional wrestling outfit, which is a speedo and a topless shirt, GREAT!...lol. As I prepared myself mentally for that and for the pictures that would be shown on the slide show later...he put me into his Del instead...PTL!
