Work often takes us expats to different places, some great, so O.K and others have you scouring the job boards for an escape plan.
I've just moved to Ulan Bator, it is a likable enough place if you discount the pollution and weather. It is more westernized than I was expecting, if I want it, I can get it. Housing is included with my job and is of a good standard, I live in a compound with a gym and small shops and a couple of restaurants.
Visually Mongolia is stunning, blue skies and rolling hills. The country is pretty much the world's largest campsite so there is plenty of opportunities to explore.
Lived in Mandalay for a couple of years and enjoyed that too, but it was a lot less developed. Happiest place to live for me was Thailand, even though I was on a pretty meager salary I was able to have a good lifestyle and save half of it.
