Crossing the Street in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia- 2010

I spent two minutes documenting people crossing the street in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The car jam at the end of the clip is amusing.

Gunamrta- That is SO TRUE!!! It did remind me a lot of the herding I saw in the countryside. It all seems to flow very organically (but still has many dangers). Thanks for posting!

i am mongolian, and YES,,,the whole nation is like this...IQ is 60, and everyone thinks they are important...and if a car has a honk why not use it,,,lol

Interesting video. But what is the point? to show people how Mongolians are on the streets? Are you trying to represent the whole nation by these very people? I see that the traffic law is horrible especially in this part of the city. Maybe it's because the road is too narrow where the traffic flow is huge.

@tramiston, every civil society has the middle class

i guess there is no middle class in Mongolia. I strongly suspect so.
