July 01 riot in Ulaanbaatar remains me forever. I followed up with news over two days. I was panic and worried. Every minute news updates with dark marks: violence, fire, deaths... Although I knew it happened in a small area of Ulaanbaatar, I called home if they were safe. The event made me thoughts for days. I constantly checked news and discussed this situation with friends. Of course, you can get full coverages about this event from internet.
I noticed an interesting fight over news agencies during the time of such event. News in Mongolia seem so polarized into one side. Many of them lack ability to report unbiased information to the public.
I got much of news from www.news.mn, but they are very poor in quality. Sometimes just a two sentence of news were posted. It just looked wrong without proper editing:) And, they were so muuch in support of Democratic party, defending them and turning down MPRP. Good is that they updated constantly even by a minute for the evening of July 01. Same with olloo.mn
Other important news were posted on www.mongolnews.mn. I must accept the superior quality of reporting there. Instead, they are very in favor of MPRP:)
A day later, there came endless flow of good news, analysis and videos:) I now appreciate Mongolian news agency its: www.montsame.mn, googlenews:) - yeah it is grea t coverages from Associated Press. For videos, Google rules - I saw real news of that riot only at youtube in time.

Graduation
It all came to celebrate the achievement of completing education requirements. I am very happy that I did it:)I am a Master of Science now. Loads of wine tasting, happy chats with friends – these activities became a daily routine for my graduation week. Out of all, two events were magnificent. A dinner with Soros and graduation ceremony.
A dinner was scheduled to thank for George Soros, a founder of CEU and all CEU graduates and alumni. Besides all formalities and speeches, I liked the old train ride! Unlike any other train, all my classmates from around the world were sitting together and doing endless fun in the train. During eating part of dinner, I enjoyed my conversation with CEU alumni. They are my friends. Because their degree was one year, they stepped in real life a year before me. Great did they come for this dinner too. We talked very interesting subjects: purchasing their first car, renting a home, commuting to work and complaining about boss. Such stories made me hurry to real life, yes I am ready for it.

Graduation ceremony was unforgettable indeed!. How great everyone looked with gowns! I wore it all day, in restaurants and on street, until I returned. I loved the feeling that I am inside gown and graduated master’s degree. At the ceremony, all speeches and congratulations follow each after. The utmost movement was every word of Kofi A Anne,7th Secretary General of UN, who spoke about peace and prosperity! I am lucky to feel his words in my ear at my happy day! Read all about my graduation ceremony here.
Now it means less nerve for exams and more chases for job hunting!
