- I spent five days with a mother and her fourteen-year-old daughter. The daughter goes to a private English school and she got to practice her English with me. The mother did not speak English but we managed to communicate through her daughter and sometimes even without her daughter.
- I came to Mongolia expecting questions on Canadian livestock but during my homestay the questions were more along these lines: "Do you like Pussycat Dolls?" "Who is your favourite band?" "What do you think of Lindsay Lohan?" "Do you know Korean soap stars?" "Do you think Angelina Jolie is better looking than Eva Longoria?"
- I spent most of my time with the daughter, playing card games, watching Russian MTV and learning all about Mongolian music stars. One afternoon we went to the local cinema (quite new, with stadium seating) to watch the latest Lindsay Lohan movie.
- Notable breakfasts during my homestay: a Mongolian version of French toast (unsweetened and with onions), beef and potato soup, noodles with meat and veggies, bread with cheese spread and pickles.
