A Day in Mongolia: Ulaanbaatar, where the morning arrives in smoke and steam
You wake in Ulaanbaatar on a cold weekday, in a city where apartment blocks, ger districts, buses, dumpling shops, coal smoke, office towers, Narantuul Market, and three-word addresses all belong to the same ordinary day. This episode follows the morning kettle, the bus commute, a workday, lunch of buuz and tsuivan, an evening market errand, and five grounded facts about Mongolia's capital.
