Hello everyone,
I'm a female Canadian ESL teacher in my mid-thirities, who is seriously considering accepting a position as an English language teacher in Ulaanbataar, Mongolia. I've been doing a little research online about what life is like in such a remote part of the world. I'm used to cold weather (although Toronto is not as cold as many other parts of the country), but I have no idea how the apartments are in Ulaanbataar, what the ex-pat community is like, and how easy/hard is it for a woman living alone in Mongolia, is there a lot of street harassment, or need to wear modest clothing? I would potentially be arriving in January, the coldest month of the year!
Essentially, what are the pro's and con's of living in Mongolia?
thank you in advance,
Li.
