how long would it take me by train from Berlin to Ulan Bator, i wonder? it takes at least 12 hours (if not much more) by air via Moscow. i have no idea why i want to go to Mongolia. i think it’s from watching films about people who live in yurts and drink buttery tea. (ha, it’s the butter connection!) also i would quite like a herd of camels. and some of these.
