The City is connecting the Western and the Eastern part of Russia with China and Mongolia. Yes this is the case. We went to see many churches and yes I had to cover my head. In one we even had to cover our legs. I burned candles in each of them, enjoyed the smell…

Flight 8719 / we are 7 – correction we were 10
Waiting to check in. Curious to see how many will fly. We count 4 at the moment. A friendly Chinese lady asked me if I can help her carry a bag as she has many! A little over 2 years ago I received the “final briefing”. It took me a long time to get ready…
2 am / help they are still talking
I don’t understand : why lay down in an area where people want to sleep and all they do is talking???? What the heck do they have to talk about non stop?
9 Hours Stop Over / this is the best place ?
Took me some time to find this corner. This airport really doesn’t want people to enjoy their time between flights…. I am tempted to get my sleeping cover out as well to represent Germany properly!! I might rearrange a bit:) Oh no: the guy from the bench behind me snores. OMG …. …

Summer Palace / we are ready
On our way to the Summer residence of the Emperor. We espcially picked the only rainy and cold day to avoid all other 50.0000 visitors.
National Park/ Nomads – baby cows & BB
We drove about 50 km outside Ulaan Bataar to a national park. First stop on our way was a shaman shrine. This was the third time for me to wish for good luck in one day. We did it together: I placed a wish(es) and we walked around clockwise 3 times. We both picked up…
Happy Birthday Schwesterherz
….. I learned today that 9 is the special number for the altar I went to see at the temple of heaven (Beijing). Right timing I guess.
Gandan Monastery / biggest Buddha Central Asia / 3 prayers for me
The entire day was one big happening and a blessed experience. I seriously enjoyed every minute of it. Many good vibes! The Buddha we saw is the biggest in Central Asia!!! Wishing tree story: there where originally 7 trees. 6 got cut and the 7th survived because it was bleeding. :(( People touch the tree…
