Class Trip

Hey all! I finally got myself a pretty little digital camera. I took it for a trial run on a class trip this last weekend- these students are first-year English Translator majors studying with another teacher at my university. They invited me to come along so they could practice speaking with me, there were twenty-two of us in total. We rode the train for three hours outside of UB to a little town called Byanboral. The town runs a sizeable tourist camp and was full of Mongolian families and students who came out on the train for a weekend of fresh air. I was expecting to be cold at night- but the weather was actually suprisingly hot (I've got a pretty nice farmer's tan!). Mostly we spent our time playing games, playing in the river, or walking up the mountains surrounding the camp. The scenery was gorgeous; I was incredibly happy to get out of the city at last!
