So this week was whats called Sagaan Sar. Its the new lunar year.
Mongolians go crazy and make tons of food!! Some families make anywhere
from several hundred buuz (dumplings) to several thousand!!! We also eat
sheep or goat (skin still on it just a little toasty), and lots of
candy, milk, fermented milk, and fermented milk candy.
There is also a tradition of the hosts handing out alcoholic
milk and juice, its not acholic per se but its pretty fermented so if
you have a lot you can get drunk. The mission policy is that we are
allowed to have one sip because of how offensive it is to refuse it.
Even members give it out. And of course what would a mongolian holiday
be without drugs. I am touching a stuff bottle to my
nose. You are supposed to snort the drugs inside but if you just touch
the end of the bottle to your nose they are satisfied.(MOM IS TRYING NOT TO JUDGE HERE.... NOT LOVING THE IDEA BUT GOING WITH THE FLOW)
