When we got to the hotel, we were presented with a blue Mongolian good-luck scarf and party invitation! The owner of some garage or car club has been following these rallies for years. He has a 1960 Tatra (the world's only air-cooled rear-engine V8); he claims his is the only Tatra in China.
After dinner, a few of us walked across the street to find a gaggle of Mongolians hanging out in a parking lot. A small bonfire was burning. A BBQ was warming up.
As the evening went on, we were treated to food, drinks, fireworks, and mayhem. We were taught how to do a shot in the traditional Mongolian way. Dip your right ring finger into the silver shot cup, flick it once to the sky, once to the earth, once to yourself, and then drink! It was great fun and I really appreciate their effort. I daresay that the best night of the rally may be behind us now.
Anyways, start time tomorrow is 8:54am.
