Some of you have inquired about the post election state of emergency in Mongolia. Things were quiet outside of the capital. Those who I asked about it shrugged unconcerned. They seemed unsurprised at the allegations of election rigging. One man told me that the riots were probably the results of the loosing party giving alchohol to their enraged young supporters. Who knows.
This was the polling place along the shores of Achit Nuur. The 'macheen' (truck) on the right was driving around the valley stopping at gers and picking up potential voters and pathetic foreigners walking along the road trying to pushing their bikes through the sand while swatting at the mosquitos. ( You should have seen those little suckers laugh at my 30% deet repellant)
