Hiding from the weather, again

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia

I can't believe it, but we are hiding from the weather, AGAIN.

It snowed most recently in UB on May 15th. Today, the temperature reached 100F/38C. I am still not sure what happened to Spring.

Hoping that it was air-conditioned, we retreated to Kids' Island (Children's Island?) which is another of UB's indoor play places. It's fancier and more mechanized than the Blue Mouse (or Mommy Nashir) and more pricey, too. Despite all the gentle mechanized rides, the ball pen is still A's favorite.

Alas, the place was hotter than blazes...

If you're looking for Kids' Island, it's on the 6th floor of the Jigur Grand Plaza Mall. It seems to open at 10am.
