    Mongolia's tourism experience is less than 20 years old. Over the past few years one thing became clear, most tourists can't handle extensive meat dishes. They needed lighter food for substitute, a vegan food. Of course for Mongolians light food solution is dairy based dishes. And tourist doesn't like that either. So around 2000's few vegan food franchises started popping up, along with the vegan Lifestyle Guru's. I think that was one of those restaurants, you've just had dinner. BTW glad you liked Authentic Mongolian food.

    I can relate with the washer. When I was in Spain a few months ago, our apartment had what we thought was a washer/dryer combo. Turns out it did have a dry function, but there was no vent so all it made was hot and steamy clothes. Our clothes were strewn across the whole place trying to dry out before we left.

    I love how he can walk around in public and talk to us so freely as if it's just himself and his audience around. It's something I truly enjoy when watching his videos.
    When I were younger, I'm certain it's a quality I enjoyed when watching popular CZcamsr 'Pewdiepie'. Because he were simply happy being himself. I'm sure with this positive attitude Mike has on his shoulders, he'll grow faster each day.

      Zelda in most villages in India, the calf is allowed to drink the milk from their mother until their full. They only take the extra milk, which is why its ok to use. However, these days calf are being taken away and not treated right but since dairy is so important in the culture, no one really cares.

    Hi Mikey! I love watching your vlogs! Have you ever been to Busan? May want to go there next time you're in Korea. I was born there and visited it for the first time ever a few years ago. We stayed at the Paradise hotel which was along the beach. Very beautiful! We had a lot of bim bim bop too! Another cool thing besides the beautiful beaches and scenery they have there is the Shingyasae Mall. Hope I spelled that right. Anyway it's a 14'story mall! My other thing is, have you ever seen Simon and Martina's CZcams channel? They live in Japan and i think it would be really cool if y'all were all in a vlog together.
