The trip didn't happen! But hopefully it will in the coming week.
It was a fairly quiet week, I was at the school Monday to Thursday when it was announced that the schools were all being closed because of the swine flu, so it will be closed for the next week and possible the week after as well.
I meant to update earlier but the local internet cafes were closed, which made me panic a bit in case everywhere was closed, but after a venture into the city today I found that most establishments are still running.
On Friday Zulaa was performing in a show which was being put on for the police force, I went along (well ran thinking I was late) but I was early for the performance, there was a prize giving for the police who had performed well, which turned out to be pretty much everyone there so it went on for aaages! Still managed to get some amusement out of it as every time a new speaker came on the Star Wars theme tune was played very loudly and dramatically, they really love their dramatics over here, bless 'em! I was cracking up, but no one else could understand, I don't think Star Wars is very popular over here.
The show was fantastic as usual, this was the second performance I've been to at the Children's Palace and they really put 110% into it.
Chimge also took us to a little art gallery with an exhibition which was mostly of paintings of Ulaanbaatar but it was very nice.
Not much else to report I'm afraid, fingers crossed for the trip happening this week!
