I guess when you're living in a -40 degrees environment aka Ulaanbaatar, you just tend to do very minimal activities. But since summers coming (14°C now!), I'm back, motivated to dress up again and ready to do a little recap on what happened the past 238 days : )
The restaurant that I was coordinating is finally opened! For all UB-ers, come check out the coolest ramen bar in town at Central Tower 3rd floor! It took us nearly half a year to do the renovation and prep work, and its been a good & tough learning process working with the Mongolians.
Ta-dah! AKAMARU RAMEN |
So yea.. that was one of the big thing that I've been busying on the past few months... then now we're preparing our second restaurant in Ulaanbaatar city. A real japanese Izakaya with a sushi bar, teppanyaki bar, robata bar and a sake bar... you guys are probably not interested in hearing me blabbering the details, so whatever.. I'll probably post about it when its' opened anyways.
Can't get my mind off Godfrey, his smile is just soooo "awwwrrrr....". For the ones who don't know who the hell he is, Godfrey is a taiwanese actor/model, and also Louis Vuittons' first Asian male model!! (S/S 2011 Menswear)

mmkay, enough of admiring this hot guy up there, here's some pictures from the past few months. lotsa mongolian exposure.... stayed in a ger with 4 other friends in -38°C and freezed my toes off!! Had to wake up every 2 hours to keep the fire burning, throwing coal & wood in the fire.
security at the Ayanchin helped us set up the fire & promised to come back every 2 hours to refill the wood/coal, but never kept his promise : ( |
Queen of the 18th century , and thats the taiwanese version of Genghis Khan aka the pimp next to me. |
For the ones that doesn't know who Genghis Khan is, or how he looks like, there you go.
