So we are going to stop talking about our summer adventure just about now, and even our little Donate Cow over there will be going into the metaphorical, electronic dustbin, but! We could not recommend anything more highly, and this year’s sign-ups are happening tomorrow—that’s Halloween—at 9 a.m. ET. At least we think it is. It’s 14:00 GMT. Everything’s all weird with Daylight Savings Time. Anyway: If anyone is thinking about doing it … we will say that we seriously wavered, and we were thisclose to not doing it, not least because we thought we had a job we were very excited about. Needless to say, they blew us off, we remained underemployed, and we have nice pictures of Mongolia instead of a retirement package. We still prefer the former. (We are not entirely confident what our position on this will be in about 40 years.)
Anyone thinking about doing it—and we have been short on details: It’s a four-week drive in a tiny little car from London to Mongolia, however you choose to go, in very short—and it was fucking awesome as anything. And we will also say that if we were in a position to be looking for a smart, hot, funny, single person to talk to, and we were a heterosexual woman (or, now that we think about it, a gay man), this is the world’s top concentration of them. We’re convinced.
All the details are here.
