Say thanks to your local garbage man


This is a typical sight in my stairwell. One thing I have grown to appreciate while living in Mongolia is the American sanitation system. Don't take your local garbage men for granted! The Mongolian system is much less sanitary, and I've learned to live with trash on the ground everywhere, including lots of animal bones. There is a group that very much likes the Mongolian system, and in fact survives on it - packs of stray dogs. The free range cattle also feed off the trash laying around. Nice.
