This particular meeker was built for 9, we had 17 adults in it. I am not a fantastic writer so I am not positive if I can describe what a terrible experience the ride from Murun to UlaanBataar was. Well first of all it took 24 hours in a meeker with 16 other people. Funny story- there was a drunk herdsman riding with us and when our meeker broke down for the first time around ten at night in the middle of nowwhere he asked me if I wanted to go into the woods and have sex with him. To which I refused. Apparently Im prettier than his sheep.
The entire trip was over unpaved roads and the part of the trip where there should have been a paved road the driver wouldnt drive on it because he was trying to save gas by cutting corners and going cross country.
We ended up breaking down a grand total of 6 times during the trip most likely because of the drivers refusal to drive over anything that resembled a road. After I arrived in UB I felt like I was still moving for about four hours. Today I feel better and have decided that I will fly back to Murun. I would rather die in a fiery plane crash than have to do that ever again. Thank you. Love Mike

Your next road trip to Alabama will seem like a piece of cake after that experience. Hope you have a better return trip to Murun.We aren't really sure if we should be laughing or crying so for now we've chosen to laugh.
Love and hugs,
