On the 9th of January 2014 the International Monetary Fund published the projections for the upcoming year. Mongolia comes out as a winner and is supposed to be the fastest growing economy in the world.

This landlocked country with its extremely powerful neighbors (China and Russia) is mainly known for its beautiful landscapes, nomadic population, wild horses and eternal blue skies. The fact that Mongolia has not even 3 million inhabitants that live on a hidden treasure of a tremendous amount of valuable recourses keeps the country in a continious transition. How does the value of the burried rare earths manifest itself in the Mongolian lives and landscapes, what are dreams and what is the reality and how does this all relate to us; the outsiders?
