After Tumen Ekh everyone went next door to the Seoul Restaurant. They have several menus to choose from: Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Western. The food was beautiful, delicious and not that expensive. WE will go back.

Elder and Sister Dodson and Elder and Sister Lasson with us at Tumen Ekh.

Beautiful wall hangings in Tumen Ekh.

Close up of one of the string instruments. They pluck and strike these strings.

Finale. This was an evening to remember.

No program would be complete without the traditional Mongolian contortionists. They were
amazing.

More Instrumentalists.

The male throat singers. Just look at these costumes.

As I watched these dancers I couldn't help thinking about Aaron. They were so precise and so good.

Mongolian orchestra. I love the instruments. They have the most unique sound.

A demonstration of Mongolian throat singing. I really like the male version better but her costume was gorgeous.

Buddah was introduced with music and dance. He, along with the other gods, scare away the evil spirits. Notice how intricate the costumes are. I loved the fabrics and colors.

Just a few shots of the beautiful theater. The colors were exquisite.

We went to Tumen Ekh in is a production of the Mongolian National Song and Dance Ensemble. While Blaine was getting our tickets some other American came and and we looked at each other and started to laugh. It was Rod and Rosa Ashby from Tremonton. We have done business with them for several years. They had come at the invitation of our sponsor, whom we had never met, to lead an entrepeneur's workshop. It's a small world, even in Mongolia.

Just a small horse head fiddle!

We attended the Songino Ward Choir program. Each organization gave scriptures and sang a number. After this cute litte sister invited us to "lunch". She had prepared refreshments for all the senior couples. She has been a member of the Church for a year.

Her family aren't members but came that day to the program. She was so thrilled that we were there. She was delightful.
