From Tasanta I will go to city Olgij, city Chovd and city Altaj. From Altaj I will go to Gobi, visit my friends - geologig expedition. It is 185km southeast (I have waypoints for route). Next I will go to city Altaj and north to Hovsgol.

Weber: Most Mongolians over the age of 30 understand Russian and can speak it. Many are fluent, especially anyone over that age with an education.

Under age 30 most do not speak or understand Russian.

Ja horosho ponimaju tebja.I live in Tol`atti. It is a town at the Volga river 1000 km towards east from Moscow.
The russian language is very useful in Mongolia especially outside of UB. I want to tell you about one. If you go to sleep in hotel choose the hotel for foreigners only! The building must have a signboard "HOTEL" in english. The anyone another are brothel for natives! I spent the night at one of them in Bayanhongor. It was a hell!!! I did not close my eyes for night! Before go to bed check the bedsheet. It maybe was used. And forget about pillowcases!
Ja mogu pisat` tebe po russki esli hochesh.

Alex

Thanks you for all replays!
Alex, in this forum we use english, that other people can read our messages.
I have a lot of experience with domestic cheap hotel from EastAsia, Afrika and Rusia 15years ago :-) (turbaza). It was horrible expirience. If I can, I prefer tent in nature and I always have my sleeping bag.

Please do you have any expirience with loading motorbike to train in Moscow? How long time before train leaving I need arrive to train station.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
