Being fundamentally unassuming people, Liz Kenny is as little-known to her hometown community as George Hinchliffe is to his. But just because most residents of Salisbury and Deal have no idea of the world-class reputations of these musical mavericks they might be standing next to in the supermarket queue, doesn't mean we shouldn't celebrate their unique expertise, and playful mastery of music....

    According to the speaking of the crew, they did not say that there is only one person who can swim. Instead, At 1:41 crewman said in Mongolian: “…салхины урсгал байдаг учраас ус нь догшин, ус нь хүйтэн. Би бол энэ усан замд үлдсэн цорын ганц аврагч нь. Түрүүчийнх нь цөмөөрөө усанд нас бараад, ингээд одоо мэргэжлийн хүн тэр талаас байхгүй болсон. Одоо би, онгоцны аваарын завь ажиллуулдаг, аврагчийн үүрэг гүйцэтгэдэг, бас машинистаа хийдэг.” In translation: “...the water is rough because there is a wind current and the water is cold. I am the only savior left on this waterway. The others died in the water, and now there is no professional from that side. Now I operate as a lifeboat operator, a lifeguard, and also a machinist.”

    It's unfortunate that this documentary has been spreading misleading information for over 10 years. Mongolia had a navy only during the Yuan Empire. Currently, only a small number of motorboats patrol the Buir Lake in the eastern part of Mongolia when the water is not frozen. From 1910 until the 1990s, Russian/Soviet goods and fuel were transported by ship in Khuvsgul Lake. The Sukhbaatar ship featured in this documentary is a cargo tug. The Mongolian-English translation in the documentary is obviously wrong, and the fact that the ship, which was previously used for transport, was shown as a seven crewed naval vessel, became a fun theme on the Internet and social media. Other than this documentary and the articles and videos/reels sourced from it, there is no information that Mongolia had a navy since the Yuan Empire. I don't know the purpose of the filmmakers, who showed a normal transport ship as if it were a naval ship. Still, I hope this misinformation will be corrected as soon as possible, since the documentary continues to be a source of false information that harms the reputation of Mongolia.

      I think it’s pretty obvious from the documentary that Mongolia has no Navy, and the term is used in jest. The documentary itself states there has been no funding in decades. I think the navy theme is just a playful twist to make the film more engaging to all audiences, and the purpose of the film is to illuminate the economic challenges, and isolation faced by the Mongolian people as a result of being landlocked between Russia and China. I think it accomplishes this. You think this is a bad thing?

    I wonder if countries like this are better off, not having the hustle and bussel of modernization the leads to loss of orgin and cultural identities as newer generations branch out to join modern trends and leave behind the old ways.. these people look so unaware if what the world around them is doing and in that they are just focused on their own daily lives. Seems like less fighting, crime, and hate and just self reliance

    I love that this country is holding onto the traditions of its culture. Sometimes others can see the best mate for the long term. In the old old days marriage was an exchange that benefited the family and helped the family to survive. It's only today that we marry for love, friendship and emotional dependence on our mate.

    • @timsmusic7349
      @timsmusic7349 17 днів тому

      Your point is 1000% correct. I have 3 kids because I got married young and had no clue what I was doing. I’ve been separated now for 6 years and I’m beyond lucky that my wife and myself have never considered ourselves not part of the family. We don’t know if we can get back together but we will always love each other. If it wasn’t for her and stupidity, I wouldn’t have a family today which by the way is the single most important thing in my life. It also didn’t hurt that she’s a gorgeous woman so I was kinda blinded at the time. If I analyzed everything at when I was in my 20, and looked at every possible reason whether we should have gotten married or not, I’d have nothing today. We only get one chance in life. You can take a chance at love and maybe get a broken heart or you stand on the sidelines of life.

I visit for a week once a year to see family and the place is almost unrecognizable. My brother has some young kids living in Cork. His wife is from Hungary. The kids are awesome. They are as Irish as any other kids. They play in the GAA and they are awesome musicians. It’s so interesting that neither myself or my brother married an Irish woman. I’m married to an American and we have 3 kids. I’m 15 years older than my brother. My youngest is 25.
