Mongolian Mushrooms
It's a 'ger' not a yurt, actually. And here in beautiful Mongolia, you see them every single where....
Made of felt, covered with white cotton canvas, the people use these all over the country. The nomads move them around to follow the herds and live in them all year round. In the city, the people set them up in the yard for extra, cooler bedrooms.
Functional and beautiful and damn are they comfy. We have been staying in them as we travel around. Interestingly, gers can be set up anywhere in the country - the land is all 'the people's'. This really is a country without fences
PS gers are always set up with the doors facing south. Real handy for orienting out in the desert :)
