Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia Thursday, October 14, 2010
On our way home from work today, Frank and I stopped at the new store in our apartment complex. My colleagues were all a-buzz about the opening of this new store, and we thought we'd better check it out. You never know what you might find there...
Mostly, it seems, someone emptied out part of a Costco store in the States and shipped it over to Mongolia--vitamins, dried fruit, bottled drinks of various kinds, pencils, party napkins...
We managed to buy two items, and as we exited the store, Frank famously remarked that "it was like Costco, but without the food."
Alas, there was not a single item in that store that could form the basis of a meal.
