Finally Arrived Ulaan Bator

We finally arrived in UB after passing the amazing race in Beijing. Visited Lotus Centre yesterday and were surprised and happy that some of the kids actually remembered our names. The staff and ger mothers were happy as well to remember us.

A U.K. volunteer was asking the kids to draw some pictures to represent Mongolia kids in an exhibition in Norway. The theme of the drawing is " I have a dream".

Oh dear, we can't seem to load the pictures here. Shall try to do it at a internet cafe the next time.

Stucked in Beijing - 20 May @ 9:35am

Sad to say that we are still stuck in Beijing Airport. Yesterday due to some miscommunication breakdown, we did not managed to catch MIAT flight out. We spent a night @ Tian Yuan Airport Hotel and everything there is new as they are a newly established (2 months old) and the staff there are pretty inexperienced.
After much consideration, we decided to board Air China which WAS supposed to fly off @ 8:10am this morning but who knows due to some bad weather conditions, it had delayed to 7:00pm instead!!!!!
Now "wasting" and "nuahing" at Beijing airport, internet access unlimited time @ RMB30.00 (SGD6.00 ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).
Those people interested in coming, please take note the new terminal (T3) is so darn HUGE!!!!!!!! and you will get lost. Please plan your itinerary well to prevent being stranded. Between terminals, it would take about at least 20 minutes journey.
That's all for now, we shall upload pictures when we have our USB port as they are in the check in luggage. Pray hard that the flight don't get delayed any longer.
