This is how my Mongolian teacher referred to himself today, a la The Last of the Mohicans. He told me that whenever I write anything about him on my blog I should notify him, so he can print a copy for himself.
When he found out I wasn't saving the entire newspapers in which my articles appeared he was shocked. He said he was going to save them himself for the future archive dedicated to me.
Yu. Munkh-Amgalan is not actually a communist, but he was around during part of the communist rule here in Mongolia and he likes to joke that he is. He is a worry wart though. He wanted to give me a taser to bring with me to the countryside for which I depart on Sunday. I said I don't need a taser and that I don't worry that about bad things happening because I know it's out of my control. He thinks I'm brave, but I know that's not it. I just have faith. I know where I stand.
I've got that box of every UB post and Mongol Messanger since june in the closet that your welcome to donate to the Munk-Amgalan - Lisa Fink Memorial archive...but only if i can sculpt a soviet realism bust of your face for the archive's front door. Dont worry, it would include glitter.
