I started reading this blog post in good faith. At the end of the first paragraph I stumbled across this sentence:

    > In the morning, the air in Mongolia is soooooo crisp that it cleanses your soul, and you feel like you’re breathing for the first time.

The irony: UNICEF says: "Ulaanbaatar (capital city of Mongolia) is one of the most polluted capital cities in the world, particularly during freezing winter months when particulate matter levels can soar over 100 times safe limits."

This means the author probably lived/lives in a big Mongolian city, suffers from severe air pollution all week for several months per year, then maybe drives into the countryside on the weekend for some horse riding.

The list at the end of the article is insufferable: She sounds like someone who is incredibly lucky and very financially comfortable.

    > 7. Having no debt. No student loans.

    > 8. Buying fun (alcoholic?) drinks without doing the math first.

What will she say to a girlfriend who saddled with 100-200K USD in debt from her university degree? Sheesh.
