While wandering the streets of Ulaanbaatar, I passed by @dundgol_records. A customer standing outside told us that it’s a great bar and suggested us to go in. It’s a beautiful live music bar and I was making local friends and sharing my British bird music – treecreepers, wrens, blackcaps, and chiffchaffs – with the Mongolian locals and travelers from all over.

I absolutely love Ulaanbaatar; the people here are genuine, open-minded, and friendly. They always looks cool, and it is a vibrant, youthful city where I can feel the unique Mongolian culture everywhere.

Tibetan Buddhist temples are scattered around, and the famous Gandantegchinlen Monastery is refreshingly modest, exuding spiritual serenity rather than opulence.

Tomorrow, we’ll be staying with nomads, riding Mongolian horses on the grasslands, and recording Mongolian birds. Thanks to my new Mongolian friend, @minjin_gantulga, for her amazing introductions!

Traveling and working on the go feels like playing an RPG game – arrive in a place and start asking around to find the way. Just hoping that I won’t need to level up by fighting wolves or anything like that in the adventures ahead.

在烏蘭巴托的街上晃過Dundgol Records，佇腳在外面看一下，就被其他客人歡迎進去 – 原來是間獨立音樂酒吧。在這裡我認識了當地的朋友，和分享英國的鳥兒音樂 – treecreeper, wren, blackcap 及chiffchaff給當地的蒙古人，及來自各地的旅客。

超級喜歡烏蘭巴托，這邊的人們都很率性，個性開放又誠懇，穿著打扮也酷，是個年輕有活力的城市，處處可以感受到獨特的蒙古文化。

城市各角落也可以發現藏傳佛教的寺廟，著名的甘丹寺沒有在大寺廟大教堂常常看到的浮誇，就是一間平實的有靈性的修道院。

明天就要住到遊牧人的家，在草原上騎蒙古馬，要去錄蒙古的鳥兒。感謝新認識親切的的蒙古朋友Minjin Gantulga幫忙！

邊旅行邊工作就好像玩RPG遊戲，到一個地方先到處打聽找到方向。只是希望接下來不需要靠遇到狼之類的通過升級！
