My work as an Application Specialist for MRI brought me to Ulan-Ude. During this first visit I was invited to see the one and only Budist Monastry in Siberia. The pictures below were taken by one of the host doctors. It was beginning November and the temperature was -21 degrees Celsius. Fortunately there was no wind, otherwise I would not have smiled for the pictures. ;)
(FYI: I'm the one with the silly hat on)
