Molor and Bayna

Our hosts for these travels are Molor (sounds like the tooth but with the accent at the end) and Baynaha (Goes by Bayna). Molor was brought up in the center of the country and is studying in UB during the winter. Her parents are geologists and named her "Topaz". She is totally chatty with Bayna during the long drives - laughing and singing a lot. Very modern woman, but she does own a traditional Mongolian coat - a del for holiday functions. She's never left Mongolia, but when she does, she would like to see Egypt.

Bayna is about 40, is married with two daughters, and worked for a while in Korea where he bought his van. His name means "wealthy boy". He has never left Mongolia, other than his work in Korea, but would like to visit Africa. I noticed that he doesn't shave - he says that's what he does until the last day of a trip, when he returns to his wife in UB. Bayna doesn't own any traditional clothing, but says maybe he will buy some "when he gets old".
