    I worked at a Gold Mine near UB for the summer! Fell in love with the people there! Reminded me of my life in Alaska! If I did not have obligations in the States I would have stayed! Warm people that speak from their heart! Met some of the prettiest women I have ever known, with mix of Russian and Asian! Most spectacular red head I ever met playing basketball, that was a real treat!

    Great videos! I would like to suggest the following content:
    1. Monthly cost of living in UB (these are often very popular videos on RUclips).
    2. Borders - are they open yet?
    3. Term deposits or time deposits in banks in Mongolia; the interest rates seem very, very high and I am wondering if they would be good investments for foreigners.
    4. Air quality and other environmental matters.
    5. Maybe cover the pandemic situation?

I love the place and wouldn't mind living there except that I'm Jamaican and i don't like the cold. Mongolian winters can get to -40 (it's the same Celsius or Fahrenheit) of lower. Just spent the summer there and did a few vidoes of my visit. Did you end up moving there?

    Thank you for the price conversion ! I live in California, and it seems that Mongolian grocery prices are more expensive than California, especially fruits. I am really curious at what the wages and other costs of living in Mongolia are.

    • @galsaa0705
      @galsaa0705 Год назад +1

      Most fruits are imported from China and beyond. So the price of fruits and various vegetables are little pricier than most countries. Thanks to our harsh weather, there is only small amount of time farmers can grow basic vegies like potato, carrot and such. Median income varies depending on the sector that they are working for. I would say 3 to 4thousand USD a year. Of course some people would earn as good as you would be in the US. But that would be small portion of the population.

    • @anggaros1

      @@galsaa0705 I don't think US$3-4 K /year can afford such produce's price. Even the meat costs about the same as in US. You'd think being huge in grazing land will provide UB with tons of cheap meat. But then again she drives around in Lexus so she could be the 10% there and shopping at high end place?

      I live in Moscow, but often visit California; I've been to Mongolia 10 times. In principle, I can compare the standard of living. If in California (the richest state) the standard of living is approximately comparable to Moscow and the Moscow region, then in Mongolia everything is much worse. Mongolia is a very poor country that practically cannot feed its population. The vast pastures mentioned here are a myth. No grass, no bushes, no trees - there is no water for all this. There are also few mineral resources for industrial development. I don't know how they live. Mongolia is 4 times the size of California, but only 3.5 million people live there (California has 39.3 million). Mongolia is a very cold country. Living in Mongolia is difficult.

Ненадо говорить не правду о том что уровень жизни в Москве и в Московской области примерно на одном уровне с Калифорнией. В Калифорнии я тоже бываю часто. В Москве и в Московской области и вообще по всей России уровень жизни очень низкий если ты не работаеш в силовых структурах в МВД или в Следственном комитете, в, прокуратуре, в судах или в гос учреждениях чиновником.И еще могут более менее зарабатывать частный бизнес а остальные, подавляющие больщинство населенеие живут впроглод от зарплаты до зарплаты, денег нина что не хватают. Заработная плата в России даже в Москве одни из самых низких среди больщых стран. На сегодня в Москве в средрем зарабатывают 40-50-60тысяч руб(Это всего лишь 650-670us. dollar) . Это максимум, но в официальных отчетах в наглую врут пишут средный заработок 80-90тыс.Пенсионеиы в России самый нищий слой, средная пенсия даже в Москве 12-15тыс максимум 23-25тыс руб. Многим пенсионерам пенсии не хватает и они вынуждены роются в мусорных контейнерах в поисказ пустых бутылок, и дерутся у супер маркетов за просроченные выброщенные продуктов питание. В Монголия входит в число в первую 15стран самых бонатых по природным богатствам. И средный монгол живет ничуть не хуже а то и лучще чем Российский обыватель. У монгол семьи больщые, в сркднем 3-4ребенка в семье и старики уж живут гораздо счастливее своего Российского аналого пенсионеров. В Монголии не бывает брощенных стариков, все старики живут в семьях у своих детей, нянчутся с внуками. В монгольской культуре издревле принято больщые семьи, и старики живут всегда вместе с детьми и с внуками.

    Hi, Khalium. I'll be moving to UB this October for an International Cooperation project. I'm wondering how is the life in UB. So your vidio is very useful to know the real life in UB. Thank you. It's good to know that I can get vege, fruits etc at a supermarket. I was told that Mongolian doesn't eat vege or fruits much. I'd like to know what kind of cosmetic products are available there. In the video, you showed foreign made cosmetic products. Probably I don't need to bring from Japan.

    I’m still in shock after 4 years that fruits cost more than prime cut of meat. I must have spent 150k tugrug (40gbp) on few berries, apples, oranges, grapes and bananas. The same would have cost about £15 in the UK. Nevertheless you learn to eat seasonally in Mongolia. Can’t wait to go back to Mongolia again next year.
