WhatMyWifeIsThinking

I had a friend do the London version of this rally. I have no questions but share a couple of tips if you'd like to read them.

1) get the European AAA-equivalent (ARC?) membership. You got the ambulance checked out, but it may not always cooperate.

2) Keep vodka bottles with you in Russia. For "gifts" (when official-types stop your vehicle). I have no idea about crossing borders with liquor, so maybe try to stock up fairly soon after crossing.

Friend's team ran out of gas, had the damn thing break down multiple times, and they even tipped it on its side in Mongolia after another truck coming head on at them was taking his half in the middle. I think it was a much older vehicle and I'm glad to see that Mongolia is enforcing some standards in these kinds of rallies. Best of luck to you!

I was not a huge fan of Plinko either, until I got to see this bizarre episode. For some reason, Snoop Dogg was a guest to "help" the contestants make their pricing decisions. Here he is telling a lady where to put her Plinko chips.

They did! They managed to get a tow truck to right the ambulance after the accident. It was built like a tank (even if it didn't run very reliably!) and still made it to the end. He now works sometimes out of Ulanbataar. I guess he liked it out there. 😊

Along those lines of thinking in a different language, do you dream in whatever language you are currently learning? When I try to pick up functional phrases, they find their way into my dreams (as well as other English accents if I'm visiting another English-speaking country).
