Stranded in Tsagaan Nuur Village

August 10, 2012

Will you play with me?

We stayed for the night in this shabby orange house. A lady was busy preparing dinner for guests while her daughter was wandering around barefoot and peeing on her pants. It was dead silent at night. When we settled the payment next morning, a beefy lady at the counter punched the calculator and the figure came up to 100,000 tugrik which was twice the amount we had agreed with the lady last night! Before we could even explain, she started to yell at us and even pushed him! We refused to pay accordingly and she continued to blast us in Mongolian and even made a "handcuff" gesture. He put 6,000 tugrik on the table and we walked out with our bags to hitch a ride to the lake. That was not the end. When a white car stopped to pick us, she stirred the group not to take us. They started to remove our bags from the boot and we quickly stepped in to clarify. Luckily they believed us and we could finally get out of here.
