mongolian culture study
i have no idea what type of country mongolia is. i don’t know what type of products it manufactures, what religion its people follow, or even what the mongolian flag looks like.
even the much referenced YURT is a mystery to me.
here is my best (well educated) guess as to what life in mongolia might be like for cassie:
1. landscape and environments
mongolia is full of vast fields filled with dazzling wildflowers and tear-forming horizons of glistening, snow-capped mountain peaks. frolicking is the national sport and singing insanely to the mountains is encouraged.
note: cassie please make sure to wash your hoop skirt after frolicking so that the pollen from the wildflowers does not contaminate your yurt. we wouldn’t want you having sneeze attacks.
2. food
due to close proximity to china, mongolia is able to enjoy some of the finer flavors of the asian continent. everything is coated with ample layers of sriarcha sauce, thus making it automatically delicious despite the fermented goat/cobra/llama milk/sausage/fur.
3. nightlife
it is my understanding that in every country outside of the US, the party people do not go out to the bar or to the nightclub, but rather to the DISCOTHEQUE. mongolia is no exception.
before arriving at the DISCOTHEQUE, it is tradition to bathe yourself in gas station perfume. and don’t forget to bring your own toilet paper!
in addition, it is common to find animals djing after hours at most DISCOTHEQUES across mongolia.
4. fashion
mongolia has always been a trendsetter in the fashion industry. the baggy crotch stylings of local goat farmers has recently been co-opted by american apparel. what most people don’t know is that this extra storage compartment is used by the farmers to hold their lunch, farming equipment, and spare bottles of sriracha.
cassie, i hope this isn’t too far off from the truth. peace be with you friend. or as they say in mongolia, “vamos al discotheque.”
hearts,
mly
