Hobo tourism/Creative trip to Mongolia

From Wikibooks, open books for an open world
On the outskirts of Mörön

Creative trip to Mongolia — project of the Russian traveler Viktor Pinchuk.

This trip is a practical example of cultural travel: displacement around the country was carried out on the traditional transport for local residents (minibuses, are filled with the capacity, where the aisle is cluttered with parcels); the traveller ate — only those meals, what aboriginals use; he lived — in budget accommodation facilities designed for the poor and at home of local residents — due to an accidental acquaintance.
