Just went to the urchin collection centre run by the Mongol police and World Vision with WV's Tansagmaa. When the police pick up street kids they're kept here until there parents are found (when they want them back) or they're placed in an orphanage. The kids apparently get pretty maltreated on the street, their carer told us one of the 9 year old's was a heroin addict. Dave beatboxed with a couple which was embarrasing for all concerned, while a few of the bigger boys wanted to go toe-to-toe and arm wrestle NZ's Artillery Regiment.
Ulan Bator's a bit of a shitbox, but the rest of the country's pretty sweet. Dave's travelsick, but is still allowed to roll with the big dog.
Back to the USSR now.
