I’m writing this on my phone using the Wifi at a cafe in Ulaanbaatar. Mongolia is more developed than you might have thought.
We got our site assignment this week: Erdenet. It’s the second- or third-largest city in the country, built about 40 years ago because of the big copper mine there. I will expand on this more later, but we will not be lacking much in the way of amenities.
Tomorrow we will swear in as official Peace Corps Volunteers, and we’ll travel to our site on Saturday. That’s all for now. Off to explore UB some more.

Currently doing the rounds, investigating all these new peace corp blogs based in Mongolia. Its great to hear of your experiences, and I’m looking forward to your posts in the future! Hope you had fun in Ulaanbaatar and find Erdenet to your liking.
