Living and Investing in Mongolia

Got this email titled "Investing and Living in Mongolia" from a reader. Good questions here -

Hi Sebastian,

I enjoy your blog. I saw that you recently moved to Mongolia. I am curious what made you move to Mongolia (i.e. curiosity to explore vs. a new job)? What is it like there for foreigners? Is it a suitable environment for investing capital? Do you feel safe?

Mongolia is an extremely promising country from the outside, yet nothing beats the perspective of someone who is there on the inside (even though you have not been there a very long time).

All the best,

A Tale of Two Sorts of Busy

The smoke seemed to have a mind of its own. Filtering from the owner's cigarette one table over, it conjures images of a snake-charmer playing a flute. It seems to defy physics in how it dances through the air.

The bar was ever-so-slightly slightly too dark for what we were trying to do, the main source of light filtering through Chinese-style red paper lanterns as we were poured through the financial ledgers.

A long pause sets in, we're almost done and getting through the last 10% is taking an effort.

The waiter tells me that the coffee machine is broken and that they're out of chicken pies. Okay, water is fine then, thanks.

We finish going through the ledgers. I'm tired, but not like my two long term friends here. They're both entirely worn out.
