Back in Bangkok for a hot second to check out a local supermarket. Your favorite segment, we know!

Hanging out on a mountain — this time no hike, very easy and pleasant — hitched a ride to the chairlift (~8 km from Mestia) and then onwards and upwards by the mechanical wonder. The image is of mountain Ushba, which refused to part with the clouds on that day.
A visit to the Anitkabir, the eternal resting place of the father of modern day Turkey – Ataturk. A fascinating insight into modern Turkish culture, value system, and national identity. An absolute must if you are in the area.
Back to the city, back to wifi, warm showers and comfortable beds, back to civilization, back to UlaanBaator.
We are off on Part II of our China adventure, starting with taking the Mag[netic] Lev[itation] train from Pudong airport to Shanghai!
