Please help i want to send package thats about 2kg back home
Hello, fellow Mongolians! I’m currently living abroad and am very interested in exporting Mongolian cashmere products. I’ve done some market research and have a good understanding of potential demand and trends here. Rather than setting up my own production, I’d like to work with existing cashmere factories in Mongolia – focusing on rebranding and incorporating my own designs.
The idea is to start small, so I don’t want to establish a factory or go into production myself just yet. I’m more interested in developing the brand and reaching out to the factories for collaborations. However, my main challenge is that I don’t have any direct connections within the Mongolian cashmere industry.
If anyone has experience with cashmere export, branding, or can recommend trustworthy factories or contacts, I’d be incredibly grateful! Any advice on navigating logistics and the initial setup would also be very helpful.
Thanks
I came across a restaurant in Vancouver called "Karakoram" and was curious about the name. At first, I thought it might have a Mongolian connection, but after a bit of research, I found out it’s actually a Pakistani restaurant specializing in authentic Pakistani cuisine.
The name "Karakoram" refers to a prominent mountain range spanning Pakistan, China, and India, with its influence extending even further geographically. Intrigued, I looked up more about the historical significance of Karakorum and the Mongolian capital, Khar-Khorin, wondering if there was a connection. Interestingly, "Karakoram" is derived from a Turkic word meaning "black gravel," while in Mongolian, "Khar-Khorin" translates to "black twenty."
I found it fascinating that the name carries different meanings in various cultures but has no direct link between the mountain range and the Mongol Empire capital’s name. Anyone with a background in history or linguistics have more insights on this?
Im still offering drop off and pick up services. can be available anytime any day any hour you want. And can do a 1-2 day trips Terelj, khustai, chingis khan statue, mini gobi. Can plan a head depending on your schedule and preferences.

Энэ хангалттай юу эсвэл өөрөөр бичих ёстой юу? Туслаад өгөөрэй манайхаан. Баярлалаа!

I mean people have discussed about the draft (цэрэг татлага) in Mongolia (and the methods on how to dodge it), so I won't get into that here. Instead I am mainly talking about how much do both conscripts (coerced to enlist against their wishes) & contract soldiers (as in those having the free will to enlist solely by choice) get paid (in ₮) while serving active duty in the Mongolian Ground Forces.
Putting into perspective, I have an pay chart referenced from the US army: [>!Converted from USD > MNT!<]

In hindsight -
Here is the HIV/AIDS graph of Mongolia over the years. Most of these are spread transmitted sexually. So why cant these people just buy condoms that are selling for 1$ a pack ? Why ? all these cases could have been non existent with just 1$. It’s like how the world almost eliminated smallpox due to vaccines. Whats wrong with using a condom on a daily basis ?

I’m wondering if anyone knows this show my partner talks about. They say it was a spoof on “The Mask” but it was episodic. They were in an episode as a kid and I wanna see if I can find the show to dig through it.
Forgive the barebones description but that’s all they remember about it.

The draft should already be over but for some reason, they're still trying to get me to come. I already applied for the Student Soldier program and I am a 1st course uni student. I can't figure out why they ask me to come other than trying to get a quick cash. Any tips or opinion?

A few weeks ago I told my boss that I wanted to quit my job, a lot of talk later we agreed on "taking 2-3 weeks break" from work. Last Monday, it was my work day, but I didn't go, gived company supplies back and until today I'm not communicating at all, I'm just unavailable anywhere (email, social). But I feel like a someone who is running, which irritates me. On the other hand, by simply being unavailable is there any legal punishment? On a scale of 10, how cooked am I?
