To Queue or not to Queue…a heated subject in Asia!

While in Mongolia I was able to test a theory of mine:

Queues don’t exist in Asia

I thought I was on the right track to proving it when I arrived at the Ulanbatar airport and saw the immigration ‘free for all’. A small room with a hundred or so people just in mass pushing their way up front with no regard to queuing. The few tourists, including myself, just sat there dumbfounded, but did our best to push our way towards the immigration desk.

However while driving through the Gobi Desert, my theory was proven wrong! In a desolate land where there are few humans, the animals have seemed to figured out the benefits of queuing!
Enjoy!

    Fantastic! I love it! The queue is great, but wow, isn’t it just amazing to come across all of those camels in the middle of the desert. We had that happen in Sudan, and I was just mesmerized.

    Hi Sherry,

    That’s hilarious! Sometimes animals have more sense than people, eh?

    I’m enjoying your Mongolian travels and I’m eager to read about Taipei too when the time comes.
