Day in Mongolia 8

Every year after the advent of summer new buildings start to arise everywhere. More and more building's are being built in Mongolia.

There were no white walls in winter and I think they built the body last summer. The buildings are also getting higher and sophisticated. I remember back 2001 the tallest was only 12 stories high, now 12 is the norm.
