A sea of blue boxes

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia

The Polish milk has returned to UB. You laugh. Hardly worth a blog posting, you think. Well, it comes in 0.5% and 1.5% and it does NOT taste like cream--or chalk--AND it's "long life" milk, which means it does not require refrigeration until you open it. And it tastes good. We haven't seen the stuff in UB since February.

I realize there is something supremely ironic about buying imported milk in a country with SO many cows, but Mongolian milk only comes in 3.2% and 3.6% and (in my opinion) has this really "cow-y" taste which I really don't care for.

Anyhow, this morning I spent $50 on the stuff.

Enough to last a while, anyhow.
