The Mongolian proverb says: “Keep your hardness on the outside and your love within”. The wisdom of the saying was proved different. From the very beginning since we met Mongolian nomads, the only thing that was shown to us was love and warmth. Linguistic and cultural barriers crumbled into pieces in the face of utter selflessness, generosity and kindness which total strangers offered us.
However, another Mongolian saying proved to be true: “Posts support a ger, friends support a man in difficulties”. It is a quintessence of the entire Mongolian nomadic life and culture. In the hour of need, you do not have to knock on the ger’s doors - they are always wide open. Be it to a herdsman, who needs some milk or cheese, or a random tourist who showed up at the door by a total accident. They showed us how to build a ger and how to cook a sheep. This was amazing chance to see how do nomads live in Mongolia.
This is one day in life of Mongolian Nomads.
