Here's a really neat (hour-long) documentary on modern Mongolian hip-hop. I was fortunate enough to catch it on TV, but someone recently posted the whole thing up on youtube.
It gets into a lot of cultural, social, gender and globalization issues and shows a lot of UB in the winter, in all its glorious, hazy grey freezing-ness
In other news, hosted a dinner party tonight for Mongolian friends I met in the U.S. when they participated in the Fulbright program. Highlight of the evening was definitely playing bananagrams though...fun way to practice new vocabulary, too bad they don't have a mongolian alphabet version.
