Mongolian Nomads – Life and Yurt Building


Mongolian Nomads – Life and Yurt Building
This must have been an amazing experience to get to live with this kind of culture.  Their lifestyle is so interesting, but I’m not sure if I could do it.  Having to pack up all of your stuff and just move out whenever.  It is cool that they can pick a spot and set up shop where ever they want.  The yurts they lived in were simple yet complex.  They set up the frame work and had all of their movable furniture in there.  And the linoleum floors with carpets on them were a bit strange.  I wasn’t expecting them to use so many different layers on the roof and walls, from the fabrics to all the tarps for rain.  Seeing things like that really make you appreciate the things that you have, and they were so friendly and sharing which was great.  It was also interest when we learned that they have a surprising big Gucci hand bag store or something.  Not quite sure how they manage to do that.
