So you're wondering when the bomb went off? Roads here in Mongolia take a beating every winter. There is also a building under construction behind the blue corregated metal fence on the right and the street has been dug up and patched back together in several places. In the winter (April is still winter here) going up and down the road was pretty exciting. Once I fell into a hole and no one could see me (I'm just kidding, but really!) the street is downright dangerous. We are on such an adventure everyday when we leave our apartment.
Here's the bigger picture. Our apartment building is the farthest up the street, the second brown building. One more big dig up to fix the water pipes that bring heat and water to the buildings in UB and we'll be able to skateboard down this road (not really, but you could skate without falling into a pit or crashing into a big piece of asphalt). No hot water for the month of August while the digging is going on, but now the pipes are new, the holes have been repaved...and we have hot water!
