Our man in Mongolia... is called Hamish...

Back in 2008, while leading one of the first sets of events I did after joining the Geographical Association I was presenting in London when I noticed that one of the delegates was on his mobile phone while I was talking...
It turned out of course that he was on Twitter saying some nice things about the session...
He was Hamish Reid, and since then he has been doing some teaching and also a lot of travelling in South America amongst other places.
And now it turns out that Hamish is in Mongolia, currently in Ulaanbaatar or UB as it is called. He's there to work on a new project.

The OYU TOLGOI project is a major resources undertaking which is going to dramatically increase the economic development of the country.

It's going to be useful to have a new place to explore in the next few months via Hamish's photos and words, and some judicious research. I'm going to try to put it into some sort of format for schools to make use of.

Here, for example is one of the first images from the blog: this would make a useful image for one of those 'Where in the World' quizzes...
