Mangos! Rambutan! Tamarind! Sopadillas! Sopadillas?
For weeks, Frank and I have been dreaming of fruit, the tropical fruit we hoped to find in Thailand. Ulaanbaatar is not a place where fruit is readily available. Yes, you can buy it at outrageous prices, but apples, bananas and oranges are really the only semi-reasonable options. I did spot some strawberries the other day but where they came from or how much they might have cost, I really did not want to know.
At last we have reached it--fruit heaven! Ah, frigid UB seems a million miles away...
