We had a "disco" last night, Mongolian style. The audio was provided by one speaker, hardwired to a jeep stereo, which was just outside the ger door (idling the whole time so the battery wouldn’t die). The disco light was my headlamp in flashing-mode, hanging from the ceiling.
For the first hour, everyone sat around the outside, girls on one side, guys on the other; just like junior high. As the beer went down, people got brave and the dancing started. A bizarre mix of Korean techno, Mongolian and American rap and lots of Madonna was on the play list.
Everyone got dressed up for the occasion. The girls spend hours putting on make-up. The guys wore their best checkered shirts and camel-hair vests. A few people wore their sun-glasses for added coolness. The Canadians, lacking formal disco-wear, made-due with substandard jeans and T-shirts.
A good time was had by all. It was definitely more fun than any North American bar I have been to in a while!

There are a lot of hats in that room. I hope that there were no nasty drunken hat-stomping incidents.
