But for the most part, I honestly don't care what people think. I never have. If I did, I'd probably present myself a little more carefully.

I was hanging out in gers [yurts] with these Kazakh sort of Bedouins. Drank nasty-ass camel milk. The drive [from the Souther Gobi to Ulan Bator] is insane. It's like The Road.
