(Initially posted on 6/19/12) Young Mongol Lamas A friend of mine says, his son is studying  Buddhism in India and he is doing fine. Well, that's good to hear, but I started  to worry about his son and other young  "Lamas" who are sent there on a mission to become spiritual masters of Buddhism. (The term "Lama" originates from Tibetan language, meaning  "priest".)Nowadays we say,

I just had the vaguest idea of where Mongolia was when I received a brochure announcing a trip that included Mongolia as well as Yunnan province in China. It sounded so foreign and so inviting.

When I was a school boy, I remember, we used to talk about our national soccer team and specially about our goalkeeper who supposedly was a super guy. I think in the 1960s the soccer was quite popular in Mongolia. Names like Pele and Yaashin were familiar to us. But let's leave the history alone and talk about the future. Even though an official Soccer (or Football) organization was

To our readers, Unfortunately for some reason most of the previous posts have been messed up and  needed to be deleted. But we will reintroduce some of them  back because we think that there are many out there who might be interested in reading them. Those who read them already, I would ask just to skip. Please do have some understanding. We  will post them  one at a time between our new posts.

Ivan Krylov (1768-1844) was  Russia's famous writer specialized in writing fables.  Below is one of his well-known stories. The Swan, the Pike, and the Crab Whenever companions don't agree, They work without accord And naught but trouble doth result, Although they all work hard. One day a swan, a pike, a crab, Resolved a load to haul; All three were harnessed to the cart, And pulled together
