Since I arrived, I have had had plenty of opportunity to walk about Ulaanbaatar. The place has changed a lot since I was here first in 2001, and then in 2007. Due to massive increases in income from minerals exploitation, there has been a lot of money around. As a result many new and fancy buildings have been built. This one looks like a butterfly, but it is unfinished due presumably to the credit crunch reaching Mongolia. Many of the glass panes have not yet been installed. I hate to think what sort of damage rain and snow will cause.
