Tsagaan Sar

Here are some pictures from Tsagaan Sar, which Tunga took of her family. Tsagaan Sar is based on the Tibetan New Year's Celebration and is like Thanksgiving, Christmas, Halloween and everybody's Birthdays combined. There is tons of food, lots of presents, kids knocking on doors for candy, and especially older people who don't know their birthdays from the socialist period it is a time for everyone to say they are now one year older. It was a huge deal here in Mongolia and way cool to experience!
