the merry dance of the sun

i learnt about mongolians today. they dont bury their dead, they just take them out into the wilderness and dump them and the birds and the worms and wolves and stuff eat them.they dont bury them because mongolians cant stand the idea of being underground. even when they are dead. sometimes the bodies find their way to streams and rivers so it is completely unsafe for non mongolians to drink the water.its ok for mongolians however. they are used to it.

95 percent of them have syphillis. but it doesnt affect them. its been passed down from generation to generation so they are all just used to it and carry on in their usual way.

i learnt this at a film festival from a hungarian cinematographer

oh yeah?
