Today is 'Tsagaan Sar", the Mongolian Lunar New Year. What is so interesting abour this year is that I learned an explanation for why Mongolian Lunar New Year differs from that of Chinese new year.
According to a recent article(link) by Baabar, a prominent Mongolian writer, the reason is more cultural. His main point, supported with historical facts, reasons that Mongolians changed the measure of the lunar movement according to Mongolian transhumance (nomadic animal husbandry) lifestyle. Herding their animals out open in the steppes on fours seasons, Mongolians observed the moon and implied its correlation to weather. My ancestors watched the moon every night and predicted the weather for next day. It worked. So they developed lunar system with reference to how the moon appears from half to full size of the moon. For example, the moon appears full on 15th of each month ( perhaps it may relate to the Mongolian geographical position- who knows?) So, Mongolians adopted the lunar calendar with clear appearance of the moon. That change made the Mongolian calendar differ a few days than that of Chinese lunar calendar.
As usual, my family prepared well for this holiday: thousands of beef dumpling, lots of biscutes, vegetable salads, litres of milk tea, coke and other meals as well. Today, two families visited us in the morning. In the afternoon, we paid visit to 3 families till the late evening. I ate lots of dumplings and drunk so much tea. I received some gifts. After busy day of meals and drinks, I am exhausted! I felt very sleepy all the alone, and barely kep my eyes open for my guests and hosts.

Whining - health/cost
Sometimes I have doubts about certain explanation for health care, assuming anatomy is differently determined by their unique biological creation:) But, my uncertainties often turn out to be just axiousness. I have examples of health problems, and many of them clrealy show my distrust:)
Backpain
I had backpains. Concerning about it, I went to several doctors. First I complained of it to a doctor in Budapest, she said it is a normal to have a pain and just pursue an active lifestyle. It continued over a year. Another doctor in London, told me everything is OK.
Eye sight
I got an eye-sight check at University Vision Optician in July 2008 while I was at UoM. Feeling unconfortable, I did not wear glasses for about half a year after that. Then I got checked in Happy, an optical shop in Ulaanbaatar which was January 2009. Despite my doubts, the results came out the same - in UB, an optician used only a coputer machine.
Then my eyes got dry and itching in February 2010, I thought my eyes got worse. So I went to a doctor - he reviewed comprehensively- tested sights, checked with computer, test-ckecks (walks etc) and microscoped through. Everything was O.K.
Knee pain
Something went worg with my knee after a day long hiking in forest mountain. Sergey and I set goal to reach a top of Bogd Uul from its back, where the hiking path dissapears only in the downhills. Luckily we reached our dream. There was a point I wanted to stop becaus emy legs were hurting too bad, but I kept going - no-one for help and I didn't want to cause trouble for my friend. Once we reached back UB, I could not get up and my right knee was all pain for streching and touching - note no swallaw. I went to a clinic of injury in UB, a doctor told me it is nothing - perhaps be my throuht ? - no idea. Due to busy queu, she refused to look at through X-ray. Steve, my friend who was visiting me from Korea, was shocked. A day after I went to an another clinic, a young doctor told, without X-ray, me it was injury of ligament in my knee. Then she wrote a cream to apply and adviced to have physical treatment for two weeks - which I was unable to do. The pain went two days since I applied the cream over.
That symptom occured to me again when I was running for a maraphon in Nishinomiya October 2009. So I went to orthopedic, he questioned and screened through X-ray, he said my bones are good, perhaps the pain was from ligament ingjury. He shot a dose in my knee and wrote a prespription of cream to apply. I applied the cream, which smelled strong mint. The pain went away within 3 days. He was right.
For above examples, my firs thought was to see a doctor. Trusting what he/she says really varies. I have more confidence in a doctor who explains with a tool such a X-ray. Some cases, a doctor was right without a tool. I shared my views with my mother. Her response was that she never went to a doctor to complain besides delivering her children (including me).
Oh on top of that, speaking of cost seeing a doctor in Japan? I paid a hell amount to the clinics for simple diagnosis. I am happy for paying extra because I trust the results are right. which is opposite in Mongolia. After all, I also think my uncertainty indeed result in extra costs which I might have not worried of!

Tsagaan Sar - Mongolian New Year
Tsagaan Sar, “White Moon” is Mongolian New Year. This year’s holiday was a big one for me. Although I missed it last three years, this year I had a chance to celebrate it with my mom and my siblings.
On Tsagaan Sar eve, my family prepared everything. We decorated holiday food: delicately stocked biscuits (each shaped like a slim book) in five floors and three sides. Number five is meant to show the odd number. It means to represent cycle of life; shuffle of happiness and pain. Then, odd number is logical to begin and to end with happiness, and to sandwich ‘pain’ in between. Over this file of biscuit white sweets had covered– white color is supposed to show dairy ‘eatable’ stuff, but we put sugar and candies instead. Mom also cooked parts of lamb and put the meat in a nice plate. We made and froze 1000 buuzs(damplings) of horse meat, beef and mutton. My sister made “Niislel” salad, a fine mixture of potatoes, cucumber, peas, carrot, eggs with mayonnaise. She also made a sour salad of peppers, cabbages and pickles. Drinks include juice, a bottle of vodka, and mom brewed a kettle of Mongolian tea – salty milk tea! Tradition is to stuff yourself fill up on this day, so did we.
The first day of Mouse month was a new day and first day of Ox year. Like everyone else, I got up early and dressed up new cloths, putting up my Mongolian style jacket. Meantime everyone rushes to go outside on street doing a small ritual before sunrise. It represents to orient my direction for good path this year; my way was something like to go southwest hymning a line of Buddhist pray, playing with iron, because my space is iron, and to come back from the west. Once everyone is done the ritual, morning began with greetings and big breakfast.
Mom sat on the top of breakfast table. Queued by age, we greeted each other. I sheepishly supported two elbows of my mom , and she kissed warm on my chicks when we greeted. Then we all greeted one another and sat on table. This breakfast was a huge table of meal, having kettles of milk tea, plates of damplings, cooked lamb ribs, salads and a shot of vodka. Happy discussions and fun playing cards followed afterwards. Afternoon brought visitors of relatives and their families. Greeting, eating, talking and drinking filled consequent three days.

News reporting during Ulaanbaatar riot after election
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.
