All dressed up

Naadam is approaching! Actually it starts tomorrow (11 July) and goes on for three days. I'm hoping to get a ticket for the opening ceremony ... During Naadam competitions are held in the three manly sports: wrestling, archery and horse racing. Read more here: Naadam

Preparations have been going on for a few days now, with performances of different kinds in Sukhbaatar square, with people driving around with Mongolian flags fluttering on their cars, with people being generally excited and with traffic jams that are endless and that go on until past midnight (or around the clock, I haven't been awake to check).

Policemen (or soldiers?) singing like professionals on Sukhbaatar square last Thursday.
