Sommai, the taxi driver, received a present of 500 US dollars from Oyuntsetseg for his good merit.

If that means in cash it's a generous finder's reward.

The elderly lady can be found on the internet, studied music in Moscow etc.

 

I wouldn't love to be in Ulaanbaatar at the time. Down to -30 C (-22 F).

 

 

Must have been a big wallet.

These Mongolians need the money to fight air pollution in their cities.

 

Thank the Lord for honest taxi drivers.

Thailand has more tourists leave cash in taxis than any other country in the world. :)

Glad they got their money back, loosing a 100k would have yurt them a lot.
