Welcome to the new issue of Mongolia Expat! For this edition we’ll be exploring the Three Kingly Sports that make up Mongolia’s annual Naadam Festival, which takes place in Ulaan Baatar from July 11th to July 13th. We also get to meet Shamens, go wolf hunting and generally immerse ourselves in Mongolian culture. If you haven’t been to Mongolia before, and you enjoy adventure travel, then the country should be on your list of destinations to visit. The size of Western Europe, but with a population of just 2.5 million, Mongolia is one of the sunniest countries in the world, with an amazingly diverse landscape taking in everything from large expanses of desert, permanently snow clad mountains, pristine lakes and acres of grasslands. Home to wild bear, antelope, reindeer and over 500 species of bird, it is a country well worth exploring. Mongolia Expat also has its own website, with all back issues of the magazine and a great photo library all available at www. mongoliaexpat.com. I hope you enjoy this issue and – Happy Naadam!
