We have a friend named Galbaatar who in his young days was a championship boxer in Mongolia. These days he trains young boxers to win. A week ago my friends Amy, Nasim and I went to see his young boxer in his championship match. It was an interesting experience, allowing us to see another side of Mongolian life. I have never been much into boxing. But I love to see different aspects of life here in Mongolia, and to support our friend.
Galbaatar's boxer won!

do you like boxing ?
ReplyDeleteHi, George :) I went to the boxing match because I know Galbaatar's family. It was a good time for us. I never boxed, but wrestled when I was in high school in America.
