Lot of travel:
I had lot of travel in 2012 Went to Santa Barbara, DC, New York, Chicago, San Francisco and to my hometown Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. So here is the summary of my all trips.
Santa Barbara: My friend Ariuna and I went there to support our friend Veronika, who were entered Miss California USA 2012 beauty pageant. And she got the Miss Photogenic title which was pretty awesome.
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia: In May during my summer break, I went to Mongolia. It was awesome to see my family and friends. Even it was summer in Mongolia it was so cold. Ahh California you spoiled me so much!!

Also met my "old" and new friends. Buya, Boloroo, Anuka, "Sampil", Terka, Boldoo and new friends
Anu, Odko, Jaq jaq, Shirako such a fun girls and guys. So much to learn from these people. I apologize for my few friends that I didn't have the chance to see them.
Sis and I, I think we watched every single ballet opera played during late May and early June. The ballets, especially Altankhuyag's Komaki Ballet company collaboration was absolutely amazing.
DC, New York, Chicago - I decided to go very last minute. Well my friend Ariuna, she moved to DC before I went to Ulaanbaatar. So after I came back from summer vacation I had few extra days to kill. Ariuna the one who triggered me to visit her in DC. Thank you so much girlfriend!!

Trip to New York was pretty tiring and awesome. We left the car and decide to go there by bus and take train in the city. But I'll tell you take at least 3-4 days trip to NY if you want to see the city, we went there for only 1 night and 2 days. It was so tiring. But we managed to see a lot. Manhattan, 5th Avenue, Central Park, Financial District(Wall Street), Statue of Liberty, Meatpacking District and rest. One of the main reasons to go to New York City was to visit Carlo's Bake Shop. I love the show and I wanted to eat their bakery so much. The time we get there I think it was 11am in the morning, there where 2 hour long line. My friend asked me to it is worth to wait for 2 hours for only bakery? I was like "Are u kidding? yes!!! It's part of the experience" And yes we did wait for two hours just get two cream puffs and bag of cookies. They didn't disappoint it sure tasted pretty good.

So this is all happened in 2012. Pretty crazy for me cause I suddenly traveled so much. Now I'm real travel junkie, can't wait to travel more especially to Europe. Hopefully in 2013! *fingers crossed*
