[quote=DODGER,392708]Bob, or if you would prefer, D’Artagnan, my apologies for my absence, I’ve been rather busy of late.
But back to the main thrust of my message; in the committees hast to meet the press deadline I accidentally omitted one of the other prizes that is included in the overall package.

On that long journey across the Mongolian hinterland swaying backward and forward on the back of either Ying or Yang, there is nothing like getting stuck into a really good book. I know that with your busy schedule you have had little time to read lately so will appreciate this more than most.

With much debate it was decided to include Dale Carnegie’s best seller from incidentally the year of your birth, 1937,  entitled ‘How to win friends and influence people’.

When you arrive at the camp site of the Werethfykawei clan, incidentally, one of the oldest in the region, and gather with them around the dried Yak dung fueled fire to join them in singing their very own Mongolian version of Kum By Ya, you will have your very own captured audience, who you then have the opportunity to teach the Carnegie principles too.

Forewarned is to be forearmed, as they say, so I thought I should give you a ‘heads up’ on the clans way of greeting honoured guests.
They have their very own fermented drink, made, as I understand from a mixture of goats’ milk and Yaks urine. They will hand you a sheep’s bladder full of it, and expect you to drink it all.
My tip, don’t refuse. It could turn nasty.
It’s difficult to translate the name of this ceremony from Mongolian to English, but a rough translation would be ‘Taking the Piss’.

The only thing that CTG asks in return for this prize is that you post a report for fellow travelers to read on this web site.
In closing can I add that your most recent posts have already earned you points for the same prize next year. Well done.

Bon voyage, Dodger.
