I think we sang songs like this together for about an hour. The tradition is that when the bowl of airag (fermented horse milk) is passed to you that you pick the song and everyone sings together. The bowl goes around the circle three times. :) Kim and I ended up singing shakey duets of two hymns, The Cure’s “Just Like Heaven”, and John Lennon’s “Stand By Me”.
I tried not to be too invasive with the camera but as I pan around you can see how the elder hosts at the house sit on one end of the room (right side of the camera); the tower of bread, dried horse milk, and candy (the height is determined by the age of the host); the buuz (goat meat dumplings, on the table); and the traditional backside of the goat.
