White mountains covered in beautiful snow,

When moonlight falls, still brighter.

To the ears of wise and intelligent men,

With good words heard, yet wiser.

Mongo Bongo Wrongo!

We tried to look into Mongolia, glance at Mongolian eyes, find out more of their culture and, if it is possible, explore their «sharp tongue». You don’t know what is Mongolia? And have never heard? Oh, it’s pity. But rely on me, I’ll help you. According to some encyclopedias “Mongolia (Mongolian: Монгол Улс) is the largest fully landlocked country typically classified as being a part of East Asia, though it is sometimes considered as being a part of Central Asia instead. It is bordered by Russia to the north and the People’s Republic of China to the south. Its capital and largest city is Ulaanbaatar.”Have not you tired yet? Follow me! I open your eyes!

Stereotype: “I’ve never been to Mongolia, but when I imagine it, there are rarely chairs. I imagine rugged terrain, livestock, and festive outfits that, if they were smaller, would look terrific on my cat. And I see hordes of people who would like to sit down, but they don’t have a good place to do it… It’s a little known fact that the name Ghengis Khan means “I’m serious man, I need a chair… But these days, thanks to IKEA, the Mongolians no longer need to stun a yak to find a seat that won’t move.”

Hahaha (really funny) like if we speak about Russia “bears freely walking in the streets, the Russians always wear caps with ear-flaps” or somewhat like “India is poor and filthy country without culture etc.”

And what we have next? Mongolian answer, from Mongolian’s heart, cri de Coeur.
Reply: «You guys are really idiot why don’t you go to Iraq, and serve your country instead of the Mongolian soldiers. Compared to American soldiers Mongolians soldiers are highly educated and most of them are engineers, they are not same as the some naughty black kids from the American streets”.

This comment I found here, but it doesn’t matter. I heard that even some Mongolian ambassadors can’t speak foreign languages, and how their soldiers can be highly educated?! Hardly believable. But the poem you’ve read at the beginning praises an intellectual man.

What do you think about it?!
Dilbert: My boss sent me hear to negotiate a peace treaty between the Elbonians and the Mongolians.
Yak: GRAWOOOR!
Mongolian: You kicked my chair.
Elbonian: Mud weasel.

Shocking Asia - it’s time to lost in thought!

“Genghis Khan, the fearsome Mongolian warrior of the 13th century, may have done more than rule the largest empire in the world; according to a recently published genetic study, he may have helped populate it too.

An international group of geneticists studying Y-chromosome data have found that nearly 8 percent of the men living in the region of the former Mongol empire carry y-chromosomes that are nearly identical. That translates to 0.5 percent of the male population in the world, or roughly 16 million descendants living today.”

At the picture on the left you see “The Conqueror” with John Wayne as Genghis Khan.

Be the best!
