Meeting my host family for the first time. Around my neck is a blue Khata, a Mongolian scarf that is presented during special occasions; births, holidays, graduations, ceremonial occasions, and the arrival and departure of guests.

On the day we left our soum, our host families met us at the border to wish us farewell and to take one last group picture.
