Today I was stuck in an airport in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The ash cloud hovering over most of Europe has made my plane land. Instead of waiting in the airport all day I decided to go see some of Mongolia. The first thing that caught my eyes was the beggars. They we no more than 14 years old.
They said that they had run away from their parents 2 years ago and where surviving primarily by begging. The told me that they sleep in underground tunnels and some day they only have a pack of cigarettes and some cookies to eat. I was so happy I got to spend some time with them.
