Boodz and Delays

Here I am learning how to make "boodz". They are basically dumplings, except Odono (our dear friend pictured with me) is incredible at making them.

Here they are finished!! And we ate up every last one.
We went to the mall one day and here it is. Doesn't look like an American mall does it?
On our last night Mom and Dad received a gift of traditional mongolian outfits called dells! The cutiepie in the picture is Odono's grandson and was the center of attention. :)
Here we are at 3am at the airport. Our flight was supposed to leave at 11:45am but it was delayed till midnight. Then at midnight it was delayed again till 3:30am. So we hung out at our friends' house till 1am and then left. Most likely it was delayed because the flight was not full enough so they wanted more passengers. And one funny thing was that since the flight was supposed to leave at lunchtime they still had to use the food--so we had lunch at 4am!
