Subject: so I find myself with a quandary...
I'm planning a trip to Mongolia next week - of these investigatory things Elpis does from time to time, just to get a sense of the status of the mutant question in various regions. The problem is, I don't speak a word of any of the Mongolian languages. Nor does anyone here in Tel Aviv, and we're having a hell of a time finding a translator to hire.
I don't know what kind of a schedule you've got for the next couple of weeks, but if you could see your way clear to freeing up several days, I'd make it worth your while. Plus it's a part of the world not many people get to see. Might be interesting.
(I'd add a 'no terrorists' guarantee, but I'm afraid I'd be laughed at.)
