Here Comes the Sun

This is a little courtyard between Seoul Street and Peace Ave. in UB.  In the background you can see the State Department Store.  This place is completely weird.  It has everything, but it's totally Soviet-era shopping.  You can pick something, stand in a line to tell them you want it, go to another line to pay for it, pick up a slip that says you paid for it, and THEN you stand in another line to actually pick it up.  Oh how I miss Nordstrom....



It's the traveling crew again.  This picture cracks me up.  Also, you might be wondering whey there is a Beattle's statue in UB.  I've been told that they were quite important under the Soviets, the Beatles represented freedom and is said to have inspired the Mongolian youth to aspire toward freedom.
