MONDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2002 "There are few opportunities to see your country through the eyes of a foreigner. But for the past few weeks, that opportunity has been mine. Bolormaa Luntan, a journalist from the capital city of Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia, came to stay with me Sept. 26 and will leave Wednesday. Her fresh view of North Dakota was surprising at times, but always a good learning experience. She seemed interested in everything. She has brown skin, so when we went to a pow wow and Native American art show in Sioux Falls, S.D., one weekend, Native people thought she was a Native person from another reservation. And she loved McDonald's. Mongolia doesn't have enough people for a McDonald's of its own, she said. They have to travel to China for that. . ." Get the Story:
