Tsagaan Sar Greetings

Before we sat down for lunch all the children awaited in line to give us seniors a special Tsagaan Sar greeting, a zolgokh. Over 80 kids in all.

The greeting, with the equivalent wishing each other a Happy New Year, involves extending your arms towards your friend, palms up. The older of the two of you places his/her extended arms topmost in the embrace.

This action is followed by a cheek kiss on both sides, here from Ariunaa.

An opportunity for some to nick a sweetie whilst all this greeting stuff is going on!!!!
