How does the average citizen apartment Ulaanbaatar

During the Soviet era, Mongolia, as well as Bulgaria, the country was considered the most similar to the Union. I arrived there in the summer of 2018 and stayed in Ulaanbaatar in the apartment, and not in a hostel or hotel. I found a place for the home through one of the sites of international hospitality. Very comfortable, I lived essentially for free, except for tea brought goodies. Mongolia is still interesting due to its nomadic life, yurts, but places where people become too interesting.

The house was located in one of the best areas of the city. In walking distance from him - the mall E-mart, an Orthodox church, museums Zhukov and Mongolian Army, a branch of a Russian student, cheap coffee shop with Mongolian cuisine and restaurants with Russian and Ukrainian, a couple of foreign embassies and trolleybus stop.

Yes, the residents of Ulaanbaatar only in the steppe country ride on the trolley, some of them even Russian production, the obvious foreigner can ride them for free, although tickets and so cheap, about 10 rubles.

So, the area is good, but the house - a typical panel candle surrounded five-story building. I have the feeling that it was built in the 1970-80's. Inside the elevator, walking to go to the eighth floor did not have a door to the apartment was a double. Layout is as follows:

• To the left of the entrance hall kitchen.
• Right - bathroom and toilet in separate rooms.
• On the contrary - a large room with a small balcony.
• Diagonally - small room, the door to her in front of the toilet.

The large room was a sofa, chair, desk, TV, bedside tables. Furniture, a whole little basic wardrobe was in the hallway. The kitchen is too small, does not organize the gatherings, the table barely fit five people, one with an edge. The apartment was Wi-Fi, noticed that it is more expensive than in Russia, and the worse speed. I basically slept in a small room.

Walking through Ulaanbaatar, I noted that in terms of housing the city is very diverse. In the poorest areas people live in yurts. Ancient architecture very little. During a trip to the World prospectus can be seen a pair of pre-revolutionary mansions typical of Siberia, in a cafe, and the other - a modest museum of city history.

In a decent number of surviving local stalians, across unpretentious two-storey house of the 1950s, local counterparts and brezhnevok Khrushchev, the post-socialist period of the house. Few tall buildings. It seemed to me, the most elite district is located in the south of the city near the memorial Zaisan. It is not too gas polluted and with a view of the hills Ulaanbaatar beautiful.
