The capital city is Ulaan Bataar and the largest desert the Gobi is found in Mongolia which accounts for the extremes in temperature -40degreesC in the Winter and up to+30degrees C in the Summer.People speak English and learn it at School, the religion is mainly Buddhism.

Second talk by Mrs Joan Cadoret was about China. After her talk we had a Chinese Supper of prawn crackers and spring rolls and a delicious drink of tea, the National drink of WI and China. The Evening was brought to an end by a Chinese dragon dance.  and a line up of pretty maidens |
