I'm in the Mongolian area. Everything has changed. The grassy plain spreads all around, with animals here and there; sheep, cows, donkeys, goats. There must be quite many of them, but they look rather few in the wide land.
The air is dry. The altitude is above 1400m, with mild up and down. The temperature may be high but I don't feel it so hot. It's cool when the sun sets.
People are calm and gentle. They speak different language. Houses are made with orange bricks, earth colour. I see ghers sometimes.
Sun sets after 8. Animals and people go home together. Just beautiful everything is.
