Like a throwback to a bygone era, Ulaan Bator straddles East and West yet belongs to neither. What would have shone during the communist era has been left to fade into obscurity. The rest of the world has passed by and forgot to take this small, dusty city with it.
Old colonial buildings crumbling with neglect, potholed roads and footpaths a morasse of craters and broken pavers, yet underlying all this is a majesty that hasn't been completely lost.
An interesting place to spend 2 weeks getting visas organised.
