Baikal or Bust


NJ Kpopper has been moving further and further east, and some of the other steps along the way may or not make an appearance on this blog.  But it seems like the time has come for NJ Kpopper to journey to the center of the world, Lake Baikal.  Baikal, a twinkling heart oasis of oxygen, ideally reached by crossing leagues of Mongol steppe [have to break out my old Mongolian dictionaries and phrasebooks for that], seems like a final target that must be reached sooner than later. 
 Irkutsk, Ulan Ude, and Ulan Bator are not so far apart, relatively speaking.  Some discussion of Kyzyl and Tuva is coming in an upcoming post. Not this summer, but I am planting a flag for 2017.
