Daily Life in China                  

Yerts:

The first person I met out on the grasslands was pretty friendly.  He was bringing his cows back to the yert where there was a well for watering the cattle. It was lunch time but I refesed his nice offer of lunch and kept riding as I was going 60 kilometers to the north.

Late in the afternoon I was returning by a another route and saw a rancher with some cattle so stopped to take a picture.  The guy walked over toward me a so I went over to him.  It was the same guy I met earlier.  He has walked his cattle over to another valley for grazing and quite a coincidence to run into him.

Basic yert stove.  It seemed hand formed of mud but I don't see how that could withstand the heat. ??  Two burners wood and dung fired.  The larger one hold a wok (guo). 

In the background is a wood platform for the bed. 

Not much for furnature, a low cupboard and bureau.
