Culture Day at LEI and Midterm Party
Our Language Education Institute continues to do well. Daily classes are very busy, with the teaching and administration that is necessary. We have had two big activities in the past month: Culture Day, where the students from each country wear the traditional clothes of their country and talk of their culture; and a party put on by some students after midterm exams were over.

A Mongolian Wedding and Updates
A few weeks ago I was invited to a wedding of my friend Ganaa, who works at MIU and who also is in a class I am teaching. The wedding was held at a local restaurant, and filled with about 80 family members and guests. Weddings in Mongolia can range from completely traditionally Mongolian to totally Western. Many take some traditions of both worlds, as Ganaa did. It was a nice time to be a guest at the wedding.
I have also posted a few photos of friends in Ulaanbaatar and students at LEI.
It has snowed here a few times, signs of the cold weather that is coming. Today is 50F (10C).. beautiful. In a few days the temperature will be getting down to a low of 0F (-17C) at night, 30F (0C) during the day. We are ready :)
