Sukhbaatar Square Revisited.

This is the statue of Damdiny Sukhbaatar, NOT Chinggis Khan as I said in a previous blog. He is in the centre of Sukhbaatar Square, and in front of the parliament building. He was the Mongolian communist leader. Damdiny Sukhbaatar (1893–1923), and was Mongolia's official national hero during the Communist era (1921–1991). For more information go to

The square is a good place to meet for young and old. It almost feels like the centre of the nation, with a population of only 2.3 million and a land mass the size of Western Europe, it is as if people need an anchoring point……Sukhbaatar Square.

And, of course, the English pub on the east side of the square. But Dave is only flying the flag for England, against competition from all the Irish Pubs in UB. They seem to be everywhere. And in any case, Dave’s was a much better location than any of the other pubs!!!!!
