{mosimage}If you want to stay here and the company you work for won’t find you a place then it’s quite easy to rent an apartment yourself…providing you have made friends with a Mongolian speaker. If not then you can look on the notice boards of expat pubs and bars, hostels and in the two English lang. newspapers, The UB Post and Mongol Messenger which have listings every week.

The best are just behind the buildings on the east side of Sukhbaatar Square – the Kodak and Fuji film signs make it apparent where they are. The prices are reasonable and cheap and you can take in your digital flash cards, USB sticks, CD’s etc and get whatever shots you want printed.

Housing
If you are planning to stay in Ulan Bator for a while or you are travelling in a small group, it's worth looking around for an apartment to rent. Most owners or landlords obviously prefer long-term rentals, particularly to resident expats, but if business is slow you may be able to arrange something with a short-term lease. A reasonable, furnished, two-bedroom apartment with a kitchen costs from US$200 to US$300 per month.
