Sorry if I am typing badly (OK, worse than usual), but I am shaking and still recovering. I met with one of the UB dealers today. No one we know. Partial general view. Sit down. You have been warned. -

Sukhbaatar Square -- the new Sukhbaatar Square -- in March is a very different place from what it is in the summer. -

In a small park in front of it (and in front of the National Academic Drama Theater -- think of all those theater badges), a new (2-3 weeks old) statue of Tsedenbal. Would they still be putting up new statues to Brezhnev in Moscow?? -
