 New Internationalist: Going home: in her last letter, Louisa Waugh ponders on what she will miss on leaving Mongolia
In the year I'd spent in Tsengel, there's been electricity for exactly three weeks - and that was for four hours a day.
Most people in Tsengel have never been to Ulaanbaatar and I suddenly felt like a flustered tourist, although I'd lived in the capital for two years prior to moving to the mountains.
I had a host of memories from Tsengel impressed on my mind: my decadent birthday party, the chaotic school classes, seeing wolves for the first time, meeting the formidable Shaman.

 Observer | Trouble in nomads' land
The remote village of Tsengel, a settlement of about 1,000 people, is the most western village in Mongolia, home to the diaspora of Muslim Kazakhs and regarded as a forbidding place, even by most Mongols.
Waugh's account of her year living among a nomadic people whose lives belong to another age is a proper old-fashioned travel book, in that it allows the landscape and its inhabitants to dominate and doesn't need to rely on gimmicks or forced themes to keep the reader's attention.
Arriving in Tsengel to take up a position as an English teacher, Waugh quickly finds her romantic ideas smashed by the realities of poverty in a harsh climate.

 Scotland on Sunday - The Review - Twelve months at the edge of civilisation
After two years in Ulaanbaatar as an English teacher and journalist - while learning to speak Mongol - she finally fulfilled her underlying dream of experiencing life in Mongolia’s rural extremes, relocating some 800 miles wiles to the village of Tsengel, close to the border with Russia and China.
Extreme, too, is the degree of contrast Waugh was evidently seeking between the substance of her Central Asian adventure and that of her life at home in the UK, as a self-described "city girl at heart".
A 1,000-strong community still deeply imprinted with the nomadic herding traditions of its Mongol, Kazakh and Tuvan inhabitants, Tsengel boasts two telephones at the time of her sojourn, a once-weekly postal service, and an electricity supply that is intermittent at best.

In the year I’d spent in Tsengel, there’d been electricity for exactly three weeks — and that was for four hours a day.
But I knew it wasn’t returning to London that would floor me — the contrast between life in Tsengel and Ulaanbaatar was far sharper than the differences between two capital cities.
It was the people, the immense, indigo sky — and the post office.

In a place like Tsengel, though, life was hard, unpredictable and irreducible.
The landscape alone is enough to sustain romance, but Waugh concentrates on the human drama: a rattle-chested child already beyond the reach of the stroppy, cultivated doctor who demandsÊEnglishÊlessons;ÊaÊbizarre ÒdiscoÓ at the ÒklubÓ in Tsengel; a fuzzy welcome fuelled with arikh and buuz Ð vodka and dumplings; heart-stopping changesÊofÊseasonÊandÊseasonal changes of heart.

 Neeka's Backlog
Besides reviving my very private Dear Diary (more or less dormant since late August 2004, the time I revived this blog), I also finished reading a really interesting book, Hearing Birds Fly: A Nomadic Year in Mongolia, by Louisa Waugh.
Mongolia is a lot more obscure than Ukraine, and I know only one person who visited it briefly, and the book is about the most obscure and remote area of Mongolia, the village of Tsengel in the Bayan-Olgii province, populated mainly by the Mongol Kazakhs and the Tuvans.
A very intimate and honest account of an extremely tough, year-long expat experience; when I read the last page, I felt quite brokenhearted - as if I myself had befriended all the people mentioned in the book and then had to part with them for good.
