Men and women are tough. Only the strongest survive. Although people live in relative isolation, the gene pool is enlivened with the quietly practiced and generally accepted polygamous lifestyle.
People are beautiful. Everywhere I went I was greeted with smiling open faces and deeply hospitable gestures. Gers were thrown open or built especially, people picnicking in fields pleaded to join in or befriended me. On long rough mini-van journeys and people far in the distance waved as I passed by. Nowhere did I feel a stranger and nowhere did I come across a stranger.
