Sorry I have been away for so long. I've been having a lot of internet problems lately. Also, flickr seems to have changed their website, and I cant find the option to sign in through google like I always have, so I have to find out how to access my pictures before I can post more. Hopefully I can get this all straightened out soon, I've been way too slow on this RR.

Yes. Lots of them. The Mongolia side of things is pretty straightforward (besides the fact that they couldn't really speak much Chinese or English) but the Chinese side was a real B****. To leave China you are supposed to have something they called a 行驶证. Nobody (including the police and the border guards) could tell me exactly what the process to get one was. I even went to the military base that was responsible for the border, and they didn't know either. Some people told me the nearest town, some told me the provincial capital and others told me Beijing, but nobody really knew anything about the process. Anyhow, I managed to get out of China without it, but getting back in was a nightmare.
