Hello!

I don't really have time to update fully, will do that tomorrow. I have have an exciting few days, highlights of which include:

• being invaded by the American Peace Corps
• using an increasingly bizarre array of toilets, the best being a two sided shack on top of a mountain in a field full of sheep, goats, cows, camels and horses
• subsisting mainly on mutton fat
• almost contracting hypothermia
• almost falling off a very angry camel
• the car breaking down in the Mongolian countryside
• watching our friend Pat give a massage to an elderly nomadic herder who proceeded to take off his clothes
• and I'm now in the middle of drinking Chinggis Khan vodka with a member of the English aristocracy who has been living here for two years to try and "capture the essence of Mongolia". And the Americans have returned.

However, I am alive and well and have many interesting stories to update you with shortly!
