Here is my first cover from Mongolia, which I wasn't even expecting! Although it is rather boring and not of much aesthetic value, I think it's a good start. What surprises me is that the stamp used on the cover seems very much like your average CTO stampsand I wouldn't have thought twice about classifying it as one had it not been used on this cover.
The postmark is also not all that great; the date is unintelligible and all I could make out was the word "Mongol" written in the Russian alphabet (Russian since there is a strong Russian influence in the country's history).
The Mongolian characters for Mongolia are shown below:
This time, I think it would suffice just to celebrate the fact that I have received a cover from an exotic location!

Hi,
Packards were the first cars to come to Mongolia.
I believe one of them was used by last king of Mongolia Bogd Khan.
Cheers,
Bat.
