Jantsan Gundegmaa attending a luncheon to break the long drive from Delgeruun Choira to Ulaanbaator. In 2005 before the north-south highway was built, this journey took between 7 and 10 hours each way depending on the weather, the condition of the desert tracks and how many cars (old and new) and people were in the convoy. 25 September 2005.
