Life Without Windows
I have been thinking alot lately on the psychological impact that having a house without windows has been having on us, and I have come to the conclusion that it has no positive impact. Waking up in the morning and having to rely on artificial light (a flouresent tube) doesnt really get you set to tackle the day. Besides for that it makes us feel real isolated from the rest of the world. Even though we only have some felt between us and the world once you walk into the ger its like walking into a totally seperate world. Maybe ill expand on this another day, today Im just here to tell you that there are new pictures up. Stay warm.

Now We Have A TV Show
Yep, we are now on TV. How could this have possibly happened you may be asking yourself? Well as it turns out it is a question thet we have asked ourselves. Last week a local TV station called Allis school and said that they wanted to put together a series on teaching english, her school then in turn asked Alli to do this and by default I was drug into it as well. Here is how the conversation went- Allis school-"How about doing english lessons on TV?"
Alli- "Sure that sounds like a good idea."
A's School- "Good, you will film tonight."
A- "What"
A's School- "Yes, each show has to be 30 minutes"
A- "What? Wait we cant tape tonight we dont have anything prepared."
A's School "Oh OK,you will tape tomorrow then."
And we did, we taped the first one on friday and tomorrow we will tape three more. They will run everyday for the next month on local TV.
On a completely different subject we are going to Erdenet on friday for a week to take part in a seminar that Alli and I will both be presenting at, and the best part is that we will be staying with our friend Salomon who has an apartment there. An apartment with a shower and toilet. It will be heaven. While we are there Salomons father will be visiting and we are looking forward to meeting him. Not much else going on besides for how cold its getting and the lack of daylight. The sun rises at about 8am and sets around 630pm now, and it only gets colder and darker from here. Stay warm out there-Mike and Alli
