I am at the American Center for Montolian Studies in UB. Since I don't have much time, I am just checking in to say that I am here! The first week we are staying at a hotel. Tomorrow I start intensive Mongolian language classes. All of the people in the group are great. Only one of the "teachers" speaks fluent English, so I am already dedicated to learning the language as best I can (apparently it is ranked one of the hardest to learn).
I registered to be a member of this center. It seems to give you access to other scholars working in Mongolia - not to mention internet access and the most comprehensive English library on Mongolian Studies.
The weather is warm! All is well!
More soon!

It's great to hear from you and to hear that your group is a good one. I'm so happy that we got to chat before you left. I have this picture of you in my mind, laughing as we talked. It will keep my heart happy until I see you again. Good luck with your language lessons - I know your classroom work will pay big dividends in your field work and travels.
