I’ve been living in Ulaan Baatar for almost six years with Mongolian family ties. All the foreigners I have seen coming with high expectations went broke, sooner or later and left the country in total frustration. The administration of this country is corrupt to the bone, their leaders uncultured, decorating themselves with false diplomas, and are basically a bunch of drovers who like to play the big money game. You can’t rely on their word or on their signature. They change their mind on a day to day basis. They don’t care what kind of paper they signed yesterday. They are only interested in lining their pockets. They hate foreigners, no matter what nationality, because they belief that they coming to take their wealth away. They might be right in this point. On the other hand they all would be living in gers tending sheep and drinking vodka without the help and knowledge of foreigners.
Without us, they weren’t able to get even one ounce of copper out of the ground. Did you know that Ulaan Baatar has the highest density of SUV’s in whole Asia but the country is one of the poorest in terms of per capita income? That’s what these sheep drovers want, but they don’t like to work for it. They wait for some stupid foreigners with a bunch of money to give it to them. And foreigners keep coming, again and again making the same frustrating experience like all the others before them. Recently the Russians are welcomed again, because almost all of the newly “elected” people of the government used to study in Russia where they got their faked diplomas and PhD’s. I can assure you that they are working on driving out Western entrepreneurs and replacing them with Russian companies. Since Outer Mongolia is landlocked, there is little that Ivanhoe, Canadian officials or the West in general can do about it. And as I mentioned before, Mongolians give a damn about what promises they made or what papers they signed yesterday.
