Day 13: The day where nothing happened

Today we woke up early and I noticed my back was still hurting. It’s been hurting for a few days, I think it’s because I’m getting old. Just had my birthday, so it’s expected. We had a long drive to the airport where we got on the teenie tiny plane. The flight was pretty short and decently comfortable. After the flight was an hour bus ride to the hotel. After we got to the hotel, we walked to the food court. It was a significant disappointment. Only one restaurant of the four was open. Some of us decided to go to KFC. Second time in my life and in Asia again. It was decently good. Then I got some sweatpants for only $20! Which I think is cheap for girl clothes. After lunch we went back to chill in the hotel. Dinner was pizza. Night time was immediately falling asleep.

Day 4: Mongolian Acapella

Image
Today is orientation day. I woke up at about 5am. Yay jet lag. We’re pretty much besties right about now. Anyway, I woke up early, in the same clothes as July 3rd might I add. Once I was awake, I watched Netflix before breakfast. I know we should be off our phones and socialize, but it was 5am and Brooklyn 99 is on Netflix here so yay! After I watched some Brooklyn 99, Annabelle and I went down to breakfast, which was pretty good. Everybody was still kinda waking up so we didn’t talk too much. After breakfast we went to the Mongolian Experiment headquarters. We walked and it was super nice. The weather is surprisingly cool and windy. That paired with some jamming music was so relaxing. Once we arrived at the headquarters, we went to the classroom they have there. First part of class: slideshows. It wasn’t a bad lecture, very informative. I even managed to stay awake. I’m not a bad student, lecture just ain’t my cup of tea. I learned that there are 66.5 million livestock in Mongolia. S...

Day 11: The Day I rode Pumpkin, the pooping bus

Image
Today was our travel day. So we had to ride horses all the way to Blue Pearl camp. The first part of the five hour ride was okay. My horse, Pumpkin, was dark brown and small. One of the guides held the leash for Pumpkin and led me. It was really rainy and cloudy. The clouds moved lower and lower throughout the trek. For the first hour or so I was just kinda sitting on my horse trying not to fall asleep. You’d think that I would be super energetic but here’s the issue: everyone by then had been able to ride by themselves without a guide holding onto their horse, but I was one of the last four people to have to be guided. So I wasn’t doing anything. I didn’t have to guide Pumpkin or make sure he was goin g a good speed, I just sat there getting really sore thighs. It was like riding an uncomfortable pooping bus named Pumpkin. No bueno. Mariyama was riding a horse I like to call Cooper, because it’s kinda chubby but medium size and every time it ran, it farted with each step. It’s liter...

Day 12: Yak Alarms

Today was supposed to be our chill do whatever day but it didn’t exactly go as planned. I woke up to seagulls yelling and yaks snorting/farting right outside our yurt. Great alarm. It was really chilly so I just tacoed till breakfast. Breakfast was buffet style and really good. There was ramen out and Nutella that was also white chocolate. Yummy. I was chilling with my yummy breakfast, everything’s rainbows and unicorns except the weather, when Leah tells us we have to leave this afternoon because we don’t want to be flooded in. Total rainbow and unicorn killer.  After breakfast I went to go pack then, Annabelle, Nick, Nathalie, Madison and I went for a walk along the lake. It was kinda cold but relaxing just to be in the nature. I skipped some rocks and got my high score of six. Boom shakalaka. Then all my other rocks face planted. But I got six so my life is complete. The walk was pretty short since we all had buttleg injuries from riding for so long. After the walk, I shot some...
