Could you imagine living where temperatures drop to -40°C/-40°F? My 2nd video from Mongolia, where I lived for 3 days in the wild ➡ruclips.net/video/qH8JKUCQCuc/видео.htmlsi=5alJWAiW4GE3ArrB Instagram for daily updates ➡instagram.com/ken_abroad/
Such cold temperatures can be imagined in ancient times. Why the nomads are so obsessed with going south. Without food, the population and livestock were decimated by the low temperatures
Hi Ken. 1. That photographer at the square telling you names of the other khans around Chinggis khan. 2. That market has much more interesting stuff to see and buy. But I understand it was too cold explore more. Also those yellow berries are called Chatsargana or Seabuckthorn. Indigenous to Mongolia and Southern Siberia. It’s a fatty, sour and tangy berry packed with lot of vitamins and antioxidants. 3. That dumpling most likely to have a mutton. 4. That supermarket looked kinda small and lacks variety of items. 5. Germany is one of the biggest trade partners of Mongolia. Has been trading for about 60 years. Thus the variety of German brands you see there. 7. Yes that fried noodle is one of the most common dishes in Mongolia. It’s eaten throughout the year.
@@KenAbroad Yeah but that's not actually noodle. We call that food tsuivan but if it's with soup then it's guriltai shul which basically means soup with flour. Because it's made out of just flour. For us, there is a different dish with noodles (not really traditional). If you google Tsuivan it would say that it's made with noodles, but that's not true. Our traditional dish doesn't usually use goiman (noodles). More likely to use just flour, meat, and dairy products. And we don't use spices or soy sauce stuff like that. Modern young people might add or eat foreign food. But traditionally we don't use sauces like other East Asian countries.
@hann659 where? In Germany? Or are you mongolian too? That's probably a fake chinese dish, and people would just name it mongolian. Like mongolian BBQ. We don't even use soy sauce. We don't have enough chicken for us to consume like that.
@@AriunErdene118 It's not scam my man the government made our togrog worth like nothing The ramen was just 1000 now it's 3000 COVID 19 killed our countrys currency
Hi Ken, thank you for showing me around my capital city. It seems a lot has changed, and at the same time after being abroad for several years, I’ve realized just how much I’ve missed my country.
Thanks for travelling to Ulaanbaatar in the intense cold to show us a great city and the wonderful Mongolian people. Шинэ Зеландаас Монголд мэндчилж байна ✌️
What a fantastic and amazing trip to Mongolia, Ken. THANK YOU for taking me/us along on your journey. Am happy to see and learn more about this country thru' your eyes. Excellent video, incredible content as always. Keep up the GREAT work, Ken. Thanks again.
Loved seeing Mongolia through Ken's lens! He's been one of my inspirations for starting to share my own travel adventures here on RUclips. I aspire to take people with me on journeys, just like Ken does. Ken, keep up the GREAT work!💪🏻
The building behind the Chinggis khans statue is the parliament house. The orange berry is called seabuckthorn in english. Very sour but nutritious berry full of vitamin C.
4:58 his right fact: The coldest temperatures in Mongolia can be found in the winter, which is the longest and coldest season. In Mongolia, the average winter temperature is -10° to -30° C (14° to 22° F), but temperatures can drop as low as -28° to -40° C (-18.4° to 65.2° F). The coldest month is January, with average daytime temperatures of -12° to -18° C and average nighttime temperatures of -20° to -28° C. The coldest temperature ever recorded in Mongolia was -55.6° C in the Zuungovi soum on December 26, 1966. (Zuungovi Uvs) western land
I am quite surprised that you felt that weird "enjoyment" of the cold. The Mongols get that craving, I am really missing the cold as I am far away my country. It is so refreshing and energizes you.
I believe due to lack of coasts being a very dry country and in high altitude the cold hits harder, I believe, it is the same cold, same temperature but more dry and more windy so you can feel the cold damaging your body, while in the north it is more of a silent killer (I think)
8:18 He said “In the middle of the square, next to the statue of Genghis Khan, the statue of 2 heroes and the statue of kings are going to be explained. And that building is the Mongolian State Palace. He really tried to explain. He is very friendly.
8:30 He said that statue is Boorch (Genghis Khan's general), Mukhulai (Genghis Khan's general), Khublai Khan (Genghis Khan's grandson, King of Yuan Dynasty), and Uguudei Khan (Genghis Khan's son, King of Great Mongolia).
Now i know gut and gunsting means good and cheap 😅 i like cracks from this Germany’s brand. Thank you for visiting our country. Hope you had warmth memories even temperature is freezing cold 😊🤩 come back again during summer 😊
9:56 bus costs 500MNT it's around 0.15USD 23:43 even I didn't expect German products sold in Mongolia and didn't know about XD Also it's my first time watching your RUclips channel but I really love it! They way you're talking with us through camera caught my interest! ❤ty ❤
Hi Ken! the meal you had is one of the most popular food in mongolia and the most flexible food locals absolutely love it. its easy to make you can eat it cold, hot even add ingredients to your liking you can heat it up with the local tea called suutei tsai, perfect food for traveling
Hi Ken! I grew up in Chicago USA so like you, I can tolerate cold weather. But I don’t think we ever got to -40°F. I just kept thinking that you should have a scarf because any exposed skin will get frostbite in a very short amount of time. But I really enjoyed this video. Mongolia is one of those countries that’s a little bit mysterious to outsiders. I love that you take us into grocery stores and show us the prices. I’m looking forward to my next video. ❤️
12:38 to take buses u need to pay for a card and it’s like 5 dollars and u can use it any time for free and the driver probably guessed that ur a tourist and u don’t know about the card so he let u in for free
Ken, you are so brave for traveling under these conditions. You will never catch me there for sure. I actually don't like to travel during the winter. The luggage just becomes too bulky. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
they should design a special system to replace those fridges and freezers in the supermarket during winter. It is so funny to see them using electricity while it is so cold outside.
19:37 Mongolian dumplings have different flavors. Mongolian dumplings are not made with pork meat. Always consist of either sheep or beef meat. Korean or Chinese dumplings with pork.
The man mumbled, pointing excitedly at the statues, "Those are Boorchi and Mukhulai, two of Chinggis Khan's nine great generals. And that's Uguudei, his son, and Kublai Khan, his grandson!" Tsuivan, the noodle dish he's eating, is a daily staple for locals. They cook it at least once a week.
8:19 he is telling 2 Genghis Khan’s generals names and Khubilai Khan& Uguudei Khan 13:51 That fruit is “Sea buckthorn” called “chatsargana” in Mongolia 33:55 Yeah it is most popular dish in Mongolia
Discovered your channel during your Philippines' series. I really like watching vlogs about non-touristy countries, same with touristic ones, there is always beauty in every country to be discovered. Thanks for this video, about Mongolia, been curious about this not well travelled place as it is my dream to see everything. Although I've only been to two countries outside of my own, am looking forward and hoping to travelling in the future.
Thank you for visit our home country in the winter time(Extreme time even mongolian😂). Hope you feel another awesome, extreme feelings from your trip. 🎉I subscribed your channel because of this video😅😊. Keep going amazing bro😊
Hi Ken. Glad to see you in my country's capital. That guy from central square is talking about Ghenghis khan's other generals and other khan's which is translated as " king ". And that Fried beef noodle is actually not traditional food but we all loves that. Most of mongolian kids thinks its traditional food of mongolia but we were nomad back then and we dont harvest wheat so its kinda weird to think that flour food is our traditional food. Same as dumplings. but we all loves muffle dumplings and beef noodles. its like when you miss your hometown or parents you eats that food because in my childhood we eats that kind of food regularly and it tastes perfect. my mother's dumplings were best. yet my father's fried noodle was best. So oily so it doesnt feel too dry and it tastes perfect with little bit overcooks. Feels like my father only does that kind of fried noodle and i still cant figure out how he makes that food that much tasty with only salt pepper and oil as flavor.
COULD YOU IMAGINE GOING TO SCOOL WITH MINUS 20-30 temperatures and we goes to school for like 9months but we got a holidays some times but its hard you know in freezing. WISH you come back to see the country side and the good nature in summer also the noodles you has eat its the most popular dish in mongolia
For everyone who are watching this video: if you come in Mongolia during the winter and want yo take a bus, wear your most warm, (warmest of warmest) and thick shoes. Because if you wait bus 20 minutes, your leg will be frozen, and you will catch a cold etc. Also bring air pollution pm filter mask.
When i was there it was Chinese new year holidays, so for the first 5-6 days there literally 90% of places were closed so I couldn't do anything and then I only had a few more days of visa left
@@KenAbroad But Xinjiang people don't really celebrate Chinese New Year (aka Lunar New Year) right? I mean I'd think Eid or Ramadan (muslim festival) would be the likely time most shops there would be closed instead. I think the reason most shops there are closed maybe it's because Xinjiang temp there has plunged to -50 deg cel in winter.... So will you be going back to Xinjiang in Spring?
@@KenAbroad It's much better to visit Xinjiang during Spring/fall time. In fact, Spring/fall are good seasons to explore China in most places. Especially in North part of China, unless you go for winter stuff like skiing or ice festival, or some indoor activities , most of time it is just too cold. People don't want to go out, the sky is dark and cloudy, all the plants look dead and everything just makes u feel gloomy. But after winter, they suddenly become live and everything is totally different. You probably should have gone to places like Guilin, Dali, Lijiang, Fujian, etc, and save Northern places like Xi'an, Beijing, Xinjiang for next time travel.
MONGOLIA...beautiful country with lovely people. Truly curious to see and learn how the Mongolians live with such super duper cold temperature. See you, Ken and all in the premieres this evening at 7pm.
-24 was around the lowest I did downhill skiing in... maybe a little above that (-22 or -23 Celsius)... not comfortable, but you can quite easily spend the whole day outside in that, though, going up on the open chairlifts was a little Freezing. but that's if you are kind of adapted to winter... you see, a persons physiology very much changes... literally, if you are living in a cold climate your organs will start forming a special kind of fat that helps with maintaining body heat. your blood composition also changes, even the skincells will mutate to adapt to the climate.
8:08. The man is telling you the other sculptures' names, which are Chingis khan's military generals and his successors; Ugudei khan (Chingis khan's son), Khubilai khan (chingis khan's grandson), and Boorchi (chingis khan's lifelong friend and military general) etc. The building with Chingis khan statue is mongolian government palace. And some bus drivers allow you go just without pay😅. There is no rule, it is just driver's decision.
That guy In the main square was telling you the 9 "janjins" of Chinges khan (it's pronounced this way) Also most of the time you can ride the bus for free but some bus drivers don't like it The dumplings you ate are called "buuz" and you ate the bigger version of it
The 120k for taxi is unreal. I mean 80k you can buy alot of things in mongolia. It should be around 30k-60k. Which 25km is around 60k . So like you might have been scammed by 20k.
Ooh the land of the eternal blue sky, Mongolia ❤️ I've been there last year in May. I was in awe of the steppes, and the sand dunes of the Gobi desert. The people, the culture, the food - it was everything. I miss it. I'm planning to come back this summer. 😎
Your TAXI man was very gracious and was able to speak some ENGLISH. 👍🏽 That first breath looked tough. I knew after hearing you speak…GERMAN. I love the ice sculpture. I laughed because I’m certain there was a fee or charge for the bus…but the driver didn’t want to speak to you. 😂 The people are very kind and curious 👀 when looking at your height. The beer looked great even though I don’t drink it much. 🍻 POST ?!
23:54 Just a little english correction . Flavor is taste of a food or drink , what you meant to say is Scent which is the smell of something 🙌🏼 Happy travels ken
Hiya Ken. I deliver frozen and chilled foods for a living and we have a freezer at work set at -25° It's so uncomfortable being in there for even short spells. Gives me a headache. Well done for getting new gloves 👏 Hope you're safe and well Mein Freund. 🇲🇳🏴🙏
22:46 these kind of bottled beers are called "unee" or "cow" in Mongolia. When you gotta feed the whole squad but running low on budget, those are absolute lifesavers.
Actually, Mongolia does not produce lot of goods, but on the other hand the imported product has so much variations. You can find lot of other Asian countries product such as from Korea Japan China etc, as well as from western countries easily even in a smaller local grocery stores, not to mention bigger supermarkets.

The 120k for taxi is unreal. I mean 80k you can buy alot of things in mongolia. It should be around 30k-60k. Which 25km is around 60k . So like you might have been scammed by 20k.
Ooh the land of the eternal blue sky, Mongolia ❤️ I've been there last year in May. I was in awe of the steppes, and the sand dunes of the Gobi desert. The people, the culture, the food - it was everything. I miss it. I'm planning to come back this summer. 😎
It’s amazing bro
You should visit in summer time mongolia summer very beatiful in Mongolia 😊
oh man at the 29:00 you were sitting in front of the national library, a public place, you could have went in and ate the egg bread and left.
Yeah great I love Mongolia music it's good than others 😂😂😂
Your TAXI man was very gracious and was able to speak some ENGLISH. 👍🏽 That first breath looked tough. I knew after hearing you speak…GERMAN. I love the ice sculpture. I laughed because I’m certain there was a fee or charge for the bus…but the driver didn’t want to speak to you. 😂 The people are very kind and curious 👀 when looking at your height. The beer looked great even though I don’t drink it much. 🍻 POST ?!
Sees Mongolian winter weather, instantly understands why the Mongols were always trying to invade China to the south. 😆
Ken if it gets too cold l will come keep you warm🤗
23:54 Just a little english correction . Flavor is taste of a food or drink , what you meant to say is Scent which is the smell of something 🙌🏼 Happy travels ken

Tolles Video! Ich habe gerade deinen Kanal abonniert.
I want to visit cold countries in the future as well as someone who's coming from a tropical country
You should go to Inner Mongolia next and tell us the differences between Inner Mongolia and Mongolia.
That's a great idea
Me living in Mongolia for 11 years and my fav season is winter
Greetings from the kalahari desert 👋
Hiya Ken. I deliver frozen and chilled foods for a living and we have a freezer at work set at -25° It's so uncomfortable being in there for even short spells. Gives me a headache. Well done for getting new gloves 👏
Hope you're safe and well Mein Freund. 🇲🇳🏴🙏
Amazing❤
22:46 these kind of bottled beers are called "unee" or "cow" in Mongolia. When you gotta feed the whole squad but running low on budget, those are absolute lifesavers.
Lol true
Hahaha kinda ashamed
I once live for 2.5 years in Canada. Some days -37 during winter
🥶
That’s my favourite fried noodle. I love it❤️🫰
Yes, i can. Winter in Ontario. Minus 40 Celsius in winter. Manageable with heat tech.
Actually, Mongolia does not produce lot of goods, but on the other hand the imported product has so much variations. You can find lot of other Asian countries product such as from Korea Japan China etc, as well as from western countries easily even in a smaller local grocery stores, not to mention bigger supermarkets.
If you are shocked about the german brands you will be even shocked that there are actually german schools too
