Mongolia
While I was travelling along the Trans-Siberian/Mongolian railway, I found myself in front of a huge and vast country with a long history, mostly unknown to the western world; Mongolia.
In a country which, wherever you look, the folklore principle dominates every aspect of everyday life. However, despite the obvious attachment to tradition, some inhabitants are trying, timidly and slowly, to come closer to the West by modernizing themselves.
In my photos, which a part of them are presented here, my main concern was to spot these little steps of the locals who are looking for this kind of change. Either by lifting the ban of the tourist visa or even by inserting small western details in their clothing, architecture and decoration.
