a Trip to Mongolia
I embark on my journey in Mongolia on july 8th 2013. Me and my group went there as volunteers, at least we thought we were. As we arrived, a bishop once has helped our school, Stella Matutina Girls' High School, during his stay in Taiwan welcomed us as their special guests. The only thing we did as volunteers is that we spent two days in the mountains spending some time with the children in Gachuurt Children's Summer Camp. Children there rage from three-year-old babies to 16-year-old teenagers. They spend time in this camp every summer(july and august) while them stay in Verbist Care Center when it's not summer time. We stay in Ulaanbaator, the capital city of Mongolia, the most of time. Nevertheless,the two days in the mountains with the children truly are the highlights of my journey in Mongolia. I met an eleven-year-old boy with foot injury. He couldn't join other kids and he seemed so lonely and disappointed sitting on the ground watching others playing basketball from a distance. At that moment, I decided to walked to him and invited him to hop on my back so that I can carry him around to play the swing made of a tire, watch the ball game in a closer distance and take a group photo with everyone. I had fun, even though running around in the camp carrying him is quite exhausted. What's important is that my heart is so warm and I feel so happy. In those two days, the younger kids took us to the top of the mountain just outside the gate, and I swear, that's the purest and the most beautiful view I've ever seen. It is just breathtaking and overwhelming. At last,Mongolia is a country everyone must travel at least once in a lifetime.

Wow! I also would like to visit the land of Genghis Khan :) Mongolian culture is not as famous as Japanese or Chinese culture, so it's very intriguing to me :O From what I've seen in the internet, Ulaanbaator is different from a typical capital city full of skyscrapers.
