We were invited to Pastor Lxavga's Home Friday, the 3rd day of the New Year on the outskirts of UB.
It was our first ever Tsaagan Sar since moving to Ulaanbaatar since the holiday was canceled in 2020, and we were evacuated to the US in 2021.
We invited our friend Jonathan along with us, for his first Tsagaan Sar in Outer Mongolia.
Pastor "Luke" cooked beef this year instead of sheep for his foreign friends.
Then we visited a family who works with us in their apartment in the city. They also cooked beef this year instead of sheep dumplings. You can see their festive table behind us as we play ankle bones.
You start with a big pile of shagai or ankle bones. You flick them together to try to win "all the marbles".
But it was hard to beat our hostess. Happy Lunar New Year of the Water Tiger!
