| Our coach for the 30 hour trip to Ulaanbaatar! |
 |
| Our dinner: instant noodles, rolls, cookies, juice, ergotou [Chinese liquor]. |
 |
| Chinese insta-city: this one is responsible for 40% of the world's sock production [seriously]. |
 |
| Chinese power plant, and accompanying smog: this was an oft-repeated scene in the Chinese countryside. |
 |
| Sunset near the Mongolian border. |
 |
| The coal-fired boiler that provided us with hot water to make tea and noodles. |
 |
| Changing the trucks out from Chinese gauge to Russian [Mongolian] gauge. Between this switch and the Chinese and Mongolian border guards, our border crossing took about 6 hours [until 2:30 am!] |
