What a fascinating journey. I wish Batma all the best. I know next to nothing about Mongolia but I found this documentary very satisfying.
-
Mongolia is a more equal country in terms of gender. That is refreshing to see. I really like the affections of families to each. Such a loving family and community ❤️
-
What a sweet family. Simple and at peace with the land and animals. Almost envious of their life.
-
They are such a hard working and motivated family. I wish each of them the best of luck.

Feels refreshing that in this day in age there are still simply good people left on this earth..

As a Ladakhi our traditional dress is same as Mongolian traditional dress and also the interior design of the house is same as the Ladakhi house

In the 1970 I went to university in Hawaii. I met a tall handsome tourist from 🇲🇳 and I was reminded of my childhood in NZ when my teacher read us stories of Marco Polo and my dream to travel in his footsteps. I wanted to do this after I graduated but I had to wait 28 years to do so. Hold on to your dreams, you don't have to do everything you see online. You are beautiful. Plastic surgery is good if you are disfigured and for medical reasons . Remember there are many ways now days to get an education and earn a living to support you when you want to farm or work from home. Being in a city, having the latest trends doesn't always mean you are going to be healthy nor happy. You have got a lovely family and live in a beautiful land. Stay close to you family and I hope you get to travel and see how others live. Your way of life is special and so are you. Keep your traditions alive. Thank you for showing me Ulaanbaatar. It has grown so much bigger since 1999, the landscapes were still as breathtaking.

What a beautiful documentary & story. Thank you for creating & sharing true Mongolia with the world. I greatly admire each of the family members for all of their hard work. Most importantly, the dedication to and love for the family was the most shining, glowing aspect of this story. So impressive to be so determined to attend medical school! Cheers!! Love from USA

A fascinating look at your nomadic life. You seem to have a caring happy family. It was most interesting and heart-warming to see that your wants and needs are little different to those of us in the West. I sincerely hope you can maintain your traditions. Thanks for letting me into your life.
