Skyping

Thankful that mongolia has regular internet system as I was able to 'skype' with my parents the other day and check email regularly. One friend Evonia, even has 'magic jack' phone system from the USA that connects through her internet here. It carries a Boston phone number so her family in America is able to call a local number, yet through the internet, reach Evonia here in Mongolia. If I had regular internet connection in Brisbane I would certainly consider that option as it's easy to contact Americans through their cell phones. They also use cell phones and texting here in Mongolia. Their television carries a few english stations including BBC, the Cartoon Network and one Australian channel . The rest are either from Russia or Mongolia. Yesterday there was a Korean program about learning Mongolian.... Wow! Not too many seem to speak English fluently however the children have the choice of Japanese, English and German in school.
