Starting in 2005, every year when I visited Mongolia it was Dugarjav Bilguun who was my generous tour guide. Together we drove around visiting nearly every temple in Ulan Bator (many of which are now gone due to urban development) stopping for a late breakfast or lunch, and always listening to music along the way.
