March Madness

The Olympics are almost here and I dont mean that crap that is going to happen in Beijing. Im talking about the Regional Academic Olympics that grip Mongolia every March. This is a big deal people so listen up. MARCH MADNESS. There are Olympics in every subject and 3 students compete from each school in the state in their respective subjects. This is such a big deal that the students who are studying for the Olympics regularly dont go to school for about a month but instead spend about five hours a day studying thier subject. Next week Students from the entire Aimag will converge on Muren for the week to compete in the Olympics, coming from all over in a desperate search for fame and glory. -Oh and we finally got our internet working again. New pics too.
