I just spent an hour looking at yurts of #Mongolia. See those white round dots on the map? These are yurts; #nomadic houses. Except now they're used as cheap dwellings on the outskirts of towns: an empty piece of land, a fence, and a #yurt. How does it feel, living there? 🧵1/7 Sometimes a yurt (aka a "#ger") is the only house on a land plot; sometimes it's more like a second room, to accompany a more stationary house. But these landscapes; these districts look so alien! How do people live there? How come they don't have windows? 2/7
