A traveller's reflection: 2019 Autumn in Mongolia

My Travel Journal

"There isn't much I haven't shared with you along the road and through it all there'd always be tomorrow's episode" - Elton John

I started traveling around the world since early 80s when I had the opportunity to combine business trips with vacations. Then later when my rezeki is in abundance, there were numerous other trips along the way for vacations, most of the time with hubby and the kids when the timing is right. I have also started to compile the journal and photo-pages covering almost more than 45 years of world wide travel. Some destinations I visited just once, others many times. Many of those places are the obvious famous places people would like to visit but some, the casual traveler doesn't even think to try. I have placed links to my travel at the side bar of my personal page, My Life Reflections, and will be updating them from time to time.

My wish is to continue my travel and complete circumnavigate the globe, insyaAllah…

2019 Autumn in Mongolia – Too many wasted sunsets...

“It is better to see one time than to hear one hundred times…” – Mongolian proverb

(The Golden Eagle, Takhi Horses and two-hump camels of Mongolia)

We are celebrating our 40th Anniversary in Mongolia.

Mongolia is a landlocked unitary sovereign state in East Asia. Its area is roughly equivalent with the historical territory of Outer Mongolia, and that term is sometimes used to refer to the current state. It is sandwiched between China to the south and Russia to the north. While it does not share a border with Kazakhstan, Mongolia is separated from it by only 36 km.

I never imagined myself visiting this part of the world before. Once this idea fell into place, I had gathered lots of information and literatures. And after reading about this remote culture and beautiful country, it has become more inspiring and enchanting and had triggered my curiosity to visit the place and see it for myself.
