Border #1

Alright, borders. Like real borders. I never been to a real border, only airport border controls and what counts as a land border in Europe. At the Chinese/Mongolian border we were kicked out of the train when it was already dark outside. The border was just a half renovated government building. On the other side were a bunch of random buildings with shops and restaurant for the waiting crowd. And yes, waiting we did. For about 6h. First problem was food. All restaurant menus were Chinese only. And I didn’t recognize the standard dishes (like eggs and tomatoes). The only think I recognize was the symbol for goat. So we got 3 goat dishes. 😉 Surprisingly delicious. Afterwards pretty much just waiting until the border guards let us back in. And waiting. And waiting. There is only so much things you can do at an empty border station in the middle of the night in the Gobi desert …
