I have a mongolian friend, he said it was a choice between a dystopian city or the vast empty nature. I guess if you like nature it could be good but the density is sooooo low there are places where you wont see civilization for hundreds of kilometers.

    I watched a heartwarming short of a guy getting stopped by the police in Mongolia for using a wind sail powered horizontal bike thingy.

    2 locals also showed up on a moped

    The winters are super hardcore though. I forget numbers, but it gets really really cold, worse than the upper midwest of the US and central canada in temperature, although I think they get less snow than many of us.

    How extreme is it for you? Because it gets -30°C in the winter here, and 30°C in the summer here, in my part of Canada.

    Yeah sweden is really mild cause of the gulf stream so even tho i live arround latitude 58(kodiak for reference, or kuujjuaq is a canadian example i found) winters usually dont drop below minus 15-20C and summers at best go up to 30C.
