How others percieve our culture?

Mongolian culture has been on earth since there was a small tribe called Khamag Mongol. After a few centuries in 13th century Genghis Khan established Great Mongolian empire.

Mongolians were nomadic who move from one place to another season by season. Based on nomadic lifestyle everything is ideal for nomadic as well as culture. Earliest notice about Mongolian culture and lifestyle is from 1300s by Italian traveller Marco Polo. But in 21st century 65% of Mongolians living in cities and towns. Others still live in countryside by nomadic lifestyle. Many tourists visit to Mongolian who is more interested in Nomadic life than city life. Mongolian herders who live in countryside they breed livestocks like horse, camel, sheep, goat and cow. They get product from livestocks for living such as milk from cow, wool from camel and sheep, cashmere from goat.

Food is also from livestocks mainly we use beefs and muttons for main dishes besides rice, vegetable, flour. If you visit typical mongolian family, they will treat you with soup with beef and flour, vegetable or stewed flour meat inside.

Our traditional dress is called 'Deel' which is very comfortable to wear. But nowadays people live in city don't wear while others wear in countryside. We have also traditional boots and hats. Most people wear them for special occasions like national holidays.

Education system is more similar to Russian. 4 years in elementary school, 4 years in junior school, 3 years in high school. Also you can study in college for 4 years to get bachelor degree. There are over 100 universities in Mongolia and few of them are public. You will find some mongol families more hospitable in countryside than people in the city. They are friendly and naive that they will show rescpect for someone from other countries.
