Darkhan again!

Darkhan, the lonely planet does not recommend spending time in that city. Is the second time i went there and somehow i do not agree with the guide. It's true is not much to see, but it has for me the charm of mongolia. Is a city in the middle of nowhere, with those amasing russian blocks but wherever you are in the city you can see the mountains, and realise there's no much around. It has his own charm and this time seemed to me so peaceful. Maybe because i needed to get out the capital. Or maybe cause work seem smoother. Last time i went was pure pleasure, as for this time it was for work. To conduct a training/workshop with some social workers. And i allowed myself an extra day of tourism and quality time. Went to have a close look at the buddha who looks over the city, visited the black market and enjoy the night life. Just walking around (suffering from the dust/sand storms) made the trick!
We had snow and we had sand storms!




The praying wheels.
When you turn them the prayers inside are released and heard...
