If you are planning to sleep in a yurt, you should know you will not be alone. Locals are with you, frogs, I even found a beetle in my belly button, huge locusts are falling on you the whole night. Locusts are very big you can hear them falling on the floor. I get used to this sound, at the end it was my meditation sound : platsh platsh platsh :D You have to kill some mosquitoes, too. I was even the lucky one and stepped almost on a Mongolian mouse. They seriously look like little kangaroos. I screamed a lot :D


Mongolian Mouse

After that trip I was no longer disgust by any insects or strange animals :D The beauty of the country was more important.


Camels are also house pets for Mongolian kids. Kids are playing around with the bulbs of the camel


I enjoyed the view while laying in my yurt bed

Nomad kids are trolling around. Kids are smiling the whole day. It seems nomads are pretty happy, even they have not much
