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).

Good Job!

 

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

 

Thank the Lord for honest taxi drivers.
