While the name may conjure up visions of marauding hordes, Mongolia is a surprisingly modern, democratic culture whose people have much in common with those in the West. Perched between two superpowers (Russia and China) and heir to a wealth of mineral resources, Mongolia has progressed in the almost twenty years of its democratic existence into a growing, dynamic country that reveres its ancient heritage while it simultaneously deals with the turmoil of the 21st century. Come see how an ancient pastoral lifestyle and people confront the complexities of the new millennium.
