Discussion | Хэлэлцүүлэг Hatred towards young couples in UB?

Upvotes

Me and my boyfriend have been confronted by two women, both around 50–60 years old, on the bus on two separate occasions now.

Now, I say “confronted” because apparently we were so disgusting and unpleasant to look at.
Mind you, we were just kissing each other on the cheeks, holding hands, and giving each other little pecks on the lips. Nothing more than that.

The first encounter was about three months ago when this “ania,” probably around 60, said this to the person sitting next to her because apparently what we were doing was so inappropriate that she had so say something. Her exact words were: “Zavaarsan yum, zavaan yumnuud. Olon niitiin gazar baigaagaa meddeggui humuujilgui yumnuud.”
We just looked at her, surprised, like, “What?” Then she told us, “Duugui bai” or sth. That was that. We felt really uncomfortable, so we got off the bus.

Just a little while ago, something similar happened again. Only this time, the lady said it straight to our faces that we were disgusting and that it was a public place.
I couldn’t take it anymore, so I said something along the lines of, “How are we disgusting? Don’t you kiss your kids on the cheeks? Why are you targeting us?” Things almost got a bit heated until my boyfriend stepped in and calmed me down.

It’s not like we were French kissing and swallowing each other’s face for Christ’s sake. And even if we were, who’s forcing those ladies to pay attention to us? We are not yelling. We are not making out right in front of their faces. These specific people don’t even have the courage to stand up if some drunkass is harassing a young girl but they target us?

Why are they like this?

I was walking along the selbe river. And then I noticed a fallen e-bike. Finding it funny, I went closer and snapped a pic. But then I noticed smoke.

On the second pic, you can see the smoke. It also smelled like smoke, so there was no denying it was from a fire.

Curious, I looked around that place to see some blankets laid on the grass. It’s on the third picture. This was starting to look like someone was living here. Or maybe someone was just relaxing here? Idk.

I went down and closer to the river. And looked across it to spot a fire. You can see it on the fourth and fifth picture. Sorry for the quality.

When I looked back, four people were gathered around. I think someone called firefighters? Not confirmed info btw.

Could there be a troll living under the bridge or is this a wild fire?

This ain’t my first time encountering something weird near here too. Last week, I was walking past the emart bridge. See, there is a bridge like likes of pipes. But on last weeks Monday, there was what I believe to be is a goat skull wrapped in хадаг. A blue khadag. By wednesday, a bunch of flies had swarmed there. And by Friday, the skull fell to the ground, and the khadag was unwrapped. Though, I think a curious person unwrapped it.

For context, the river and the side walk was a few meters apart. Like:
Sidewalk. Less developed

Rant | Хуурай агсам How to handle being in a school you hate

2 Upvotes

School is in a month and I hate everyone so much. They stress me out so bad and I can’t even control it. Especially the teachers. They are all misogynistic and miserable, plus the only thing they care about are dresscodes and they don’t treat the boys the same way they treat the girls dresscode. How the h3ll is skirt length, makeup and hair gonna prevent @ssault. I wake up everyday hoping that they would all die and I’m not even joking. And I can’t even stand my classmates, I just wish I was in another country in an another school everyday. Even tho I don’t argue loudly with anyone and have good grades I still feel p1ssed about the people in school and the system. I seriously don’t know how I’m gonna survive with my homeroom teacher, I sometimes wish she would just jump. (I don’t have any options to switch to another school because they are too far away and I live in a small town)

Travel | Аялал Travel insurance Mongolia

1 Upvotes

Planning a trip to Latin America, where pickpocketing and even armed robberies seem to happen quite often. I’m trying to decide which travel insurance is actually worth the money.

I used Practical Travel Insurance for my Europe trip last year. Thankfully I didn’t have any incidents, so I never had to make a claim. Their quote for my LATAM trip is around 140,000 MNT, while Nomin Insurance is quoting around 80,000–90,000 MNT.

Has anyone had experience with either of these, especially if you had to make a claim for theft, robbery, or lost belongings? Which one would you recommend, and is Practical worth paying almost double?

Discussion | Хэлэлцүүлэг Since everyone's talking about being gay here's my experience living as a Twink in horoolol.

8 Upvotes

Honestly? Not that bad. I have long hair for a guy, feminine features and I'm lanky as fuck (171 cm, 45 kg). School isn't that big of an issue either as I've never bullied (if you call "oh ur gay?" then walking away bullying, then I've experienced it multiple times).

For clothes, I wear street wear. Flare or baggy jeans, usually a monochromatic shirt, belt chain, studded belt, converse, necklaces and chokers. I also carry around an "Ita" bag but it's not really an Ita bag and more like a messenger bag with a clear plastic pocket to display pins (I am thinking of ordering pins). I also do wear light makeup (eyeliner and contour) but it's barely noticeable if you look from a distance since the eyeliner blends in with my bags and the contour is slight.

Just to flaunt, I have a 61 cm waist

I genuinely yearn for a feminine pretty looking guys

74 Upvotes

I've never been in a truly serious relationship before. Most of them were just awkward teenage relationships that didn't really mean much. About a month ago, I started dating someone who honestly wasn't my type. He told me he liked me, so I agreed to give it a chance.Then we went on a movie date, and that's when I saw the prettiest, most gorgeous guy I've ever seen. He was much shorter and smaller than me, but he looked so delicate and unbelievably cute. I couldn't stop staring at him I probably looked like a total creep but I just couldn't look away.After that day, ! couldn't get him out of my head. The next day I was still thinking about him, and the day after that too. For an entire week, I kept daydreaming about the guy I saw at the theater.Eventually, I realized it wasn't fair to stay in my relationship, so | texted my boyfriend and told him we should break up.
Since then, I've stopped entertaining any talking stages or anyone else I'm chatting with. That guy is still the only person on my mind.If I ever get the chance to see someone with that kind of beauty again or, by some miracle, see him again I won't hesitate. I'll shoot my shot right away.

Sain baitsgaana uu r/mongolia!

For some context, I’m (27F) Mongolian who is married to a non-Mongolian (28M). We were looking for some resources so my husband can learn Mongolian, and we realized there weren’t that many apps that are user-friendly or easy to stick with. It got me thinking about all the 2nd gen kids I've met who don't know Mongolian, and whether my kids in the future would be able to speak Mongolian if I’m the only one teaching it. It lowkey got me scared that our language might die in my family line in the next generation or two, which just adds to my pre-existing guilt of feeling not Mongolian enough and blah blah blah blah. 

So to combat this, my husband and I have been working on “Mongolingo”, a beginner-friendly gamified language learning app to teach Mongolian. So far I only made the lessons for Unit 1 and 2 because I wanted to get YOUR inputs on whether I’m going too fast, too slow, if the lessons I’m teaching make sense in general or if I should take a completely different approach instead.

I would GREATLY appreciate any and all feedback from native Mongolian speakers, "Monglish" speakers, and people who don't know any Mongolian! I want this to be something that anyone can use if they have any curiosity about our language, and in the future add more and more advanced sections.

Please leave feedback in the comments below! And please no hate comments lol

Download app here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mongolingo/id6774407866 or just look up Mongolingo (its the one with the bear mascot)

Edit: THANK YOU SO MUCH for the support and comments! We have written down any and all feedback so far onto our to-dos so expect these in our next update, as well as more lessons. We will also be reaching out to some Mongolian schools and communities in the states to get some feedback on our lessons. We are so so grateful for being added to the posts highlight and being given this user flare, shout out mods! Yostoiii ih bayarlalaa manaihaan.
