Modern Mongolia is a land where profoundly different concepts -ways of being and looking at the world -exist side by side. Because of its unique geographical location and – at times – turbulent history, one can find nomadic and urban lifestyles, traditional and modern outlooks, Asian and Western sensibilities in close confronting juxtaposition.
The nomadic lifestyle of the countryside with its timeless traditions can be located within a few kilometers of the frantic development and freewheeling modern lifestyle which is shaping the urban hothouse that is Ulaanbaatar today.
Our vast country, blessed in so many ways, is beginning to stir and is going places.
