it was an ordinary get-together but a good excuse to have kare-kare (oxtail stew in peanut sauce) with sauteed korean shrimp paste - almost as good as the 'alamang' back home . one filipino volunteer just arrived from the philippines for a short-term stint and so it became as well a welcome dinner party for her.
we came to meet a new filipino couple who were canadian immigrants but whose work assigned them to mongolia. aside from the kare-kare, there was noodle - cooked a la 'pancit canton'. a friend from the peace corps also came.
