    i've never heard of throat singing before!! it's amazing

    • @MsCherade9
      @MsCherade9 Před 6 lety +4

      suzon heron It really is. Both Tibetan and Mongolian throat singing is very beauty and emotionally powerful to watch. There are groups of men tgat used to come to the town I'm from in Yorkshire, England to sing in the street and sell CDs. We had several in the car which we'd listen to and try to figure out how to sing ourselves, it's really hard to make those sounds!

      Lynn Rogers in Mongolia many young people can speak in English like him. Most of them learned in Mongolia

    • @MsCherade9
      @MsCherade9 Před 6 lety +10

      Ganchimeg Naidan Yes both Bhutan and Mongolia place a lot of emphasis on education and learning English is one of the best ways of increasing their ability to earn a good wage as an adult for the family.

    • @lynnrogers2855
      @lynnrogers2855 Před 6 lety +4

      MsCherade9. Is English taught as a required subject for all students beginning in elementary school? In high school?
      Or do students/adults take private English lessons?
      One more question: what is the official language of Mongolia? Can everyone speak Russian?

    • @bryan7300
      @bryan7300 Před 6 lety +8

      Lynn Rogers English is taught as a required language starting from elementary school in Mongolia. It became like that since 2005 ish.
      Official language of Mongolia is Mongolia. That said, Russian schools are pretty common in Mongolia so some people know Russian well.

    My boyfriends sister is a bank manager in Australia, apparently they have ATM/banking vans there for rural communities and after natural disasters disrupt services. Their vans also have a counter with staff to do other banking services. They visit rural areas on a regular, usually weekly basis to provide services to people on remote farm stations etc.

      Kavindu Shavindra depends on the Buddhist schools. For theradava Buddhists yes but a goal of a mahayana Buddhism is to generate compassion and help people but not focus on self liberation.

    • @shavindradissanayake3222
      @shavindradissanayake3222 Před 6 lety

      Bryan U That is so wrong.. According to Lord Buddha's words.. Must held a Dhamma Sangayana and should suspend forever.. That the way to protect purity of the buddhism..

    • @mr.person1219

      Bryan U You're supposed to let go of everything. Family, technology, money, culture, and even your identity. You're supposed to be a vegetarian because those animals are killed in order to consume. You still have to live by the principals given by Buddha. It just means you're still attached to the Earth.

    i like this a lot. visiting Mongolia as an American and finding reception in "normal cafe's" is encouraging. What we want to know, more than the young guy Fixer stuff, are the stories of this region of Mongolia, who has lived there over the years and how have they impacted the culture of this town. When you take a tour you like it when teh tour guide relates history as a narrative around town, "Here is the secret which inspires our imagination about this street corner."
    good visit. v interest in traditional Mongolia fermentation due to Tundra climate.

    It doesn't surprise me that the woman cooked such good food. My brother has been around the world and says every country is better at cooking than in the USA.

      This is Mongolia, not the US. I know some of human history's fiercest and most feared people came from there, but that was in the past...

    I've always been wondering where this tradition of feeding your guests with boiled meat, potatoes and carrots comes from in my culture. I guess it comes from our common past with Mongolians. 😁
