A mixture of video and stills through Russia (with stops in St. Pete, Petrozavodsk, Moscow, Krasnoyarsk, Irkutsk, Olkhon Island on Lake Baikal); a 6-day journey from Ulan Bator to White Lake in Mongolia; and arrival in Beijing, China. Music: Bright Eyes "Another Travellin' Song"

Ulan Bator, or Ulaanbaatar (Улаанбаатар) in Mongolian, is the capital of the republic of Mongolia. Modern Ulan Bator is located slightly east of the center of Outer Mongolia, at 47°55′12″N, 106°55′12″E (47.92° N 106.92° E) on the Tuul Gol (or Tola) River, a subtributary of the Selenga, in a valley at the foot of the mountain Bogda Uu (wikipedia).

For a large portion of the trip, the cameras kicked around in the dust, grime, and trash at our feet in the Fiestavus. Its a miracle they survived, let alone captured a significant quantity of tape.
