I (17f) won a scholarship to live and study in Ulan Bator, and I didn't really find on the internet other Italian students who did a trimester in Mongolia. It appears that I'm the first and only one going in Mongolia with the organization that gave me the scholarship. There are some things that I wanted to know.
I read on the internet that using your left hand to do anything is disrespectful, but I'm left-handed. Will this be an issue?
I will stay in Ulan Bator during August/September/October, when I checked the weather it seemed pretty cold only the last month. Which clothes should I bring?
How's public transport?
Is it a safe city? Can I go around on my own as a girl?
What do you guys eat on daily basis?
How are mongolian teens?
What sports are common there? Will I be able to play volleyball?
(sorry for the crappy English) EDIT: Thanks for all the answers. You don't find many articles in Italian about mongolia.
