Yummy for linguists

In Mongolia, be prepared to change your plans - something unforeseen always happens: Due to the snow storm last night the French lesson I teach in the morning had to be cancelled - my student didn't make it in time. Then it appeared that the orphanage children's school schedule had changed, so no one came to my English class. (I spent the morning with the small children instead (I didn't mind!)). After lunch I was supposed to start teaching a conversation class to some medicine students, but they didn't show up. They had forgotten to say that they had an exam today.

Snow-covered hills today.

If you have falcon eyes (or if you click to enlarge the picture) you can see that there is a sign with the text бyyз. бyyз is one of the national dishes, dumplings filled with minced mutton, onion and garlic. Delicious! The green building is the police station in the Bayanzurkh district. Perhaps not a very interesting piece of information for you.

I bought some cookies the other day, I didn't really look at the brand, I chose them just because there was chocolate in them. Now that I took them out I saw that they are yummy for linguists - they are called Semantic.
