Description
Inner Mongolian Grasslands . October 2006 //

In the middle of the Inner Mongolian grasslands there stood this hut-like building made of stones. An old mongolian woman stood alone with the building selling the little blue and white sashes you see tied on. For 5 kuai (roughly 60 cents) you buy the sash and circle the building three times then tie it on, mongolian tradition says this is to bring good luck.

As me and my two good friends circled the building and tied our sashes together then onto the building, I notice that there were hundreds upon hundreds of these sashes tied on, and i couldnt help but think of all wishes of good luck and memories made atop this little hill in the middle of nowhere.

It is a memory i will hold onto forever.
