if only.

so, it's 6.06pm, and i'm sitting for the last time in uncle idre's guesthouse computer. we fondly call him uncle idre, because the other time, he seemed a little (actually quite!!) hurt that we didn't go for his tours, as we had already settled our tours through ger-to-ger, a non-profit organisation. so to placate him, we call him uncle. hehehe. *don't make uncle angry hor, guai guai eat your vegetables hor...*

anyway, we're about to leave in an hour for china. we take a 8pm train to reach zamin ude at 745am, take the 8am bus to do the border crossing, and then from the border take a sleeper bus into beijing. so we leave on the 9th and arrive on the 11th. this saves us 40usd, which means more peking duck!!!!

one thing i miss about mongolia, is that i should have not sat on my lazy bum drinking animal tasting salty mongolian tea in the ger, but should have walked into the other ger and offered to help the mother make our meal. it would have been such a great experience, seeing how curd is made, rolling and cutting up the noodles. such a waste. i should have used my brain more. it's always like that, isn't it? if only all of us had a crystal ball.

tell me why tell me why do i go
