We left Beijing early on the second and boarded the train for Mongolia. I know the name of the city that we are going to, but for the life of me I can’t remember it. The locals call it UB because the name is so long.

This was the first time that I’ve been on a train every, (I think), and it was an experience to say the least. Fun for the first day, and difficult the second. The total trip lasted about 26 hours. I’ve included some of the more picturesque images of the countryside as we left Beijing. So of the scenery was unbelievable.

We entered into Mongolia early this morning, and in so many ways it is like stepping back in time, what era I’m not sure. The people seemed to be split between old world and new world.
