Genghiz's nemesis

Many of you do not know that the biggest fleet to ever sail across the sea belongs to the Mongolians. Kublai Khan led 4000 plus ships across over to Japan, but unfortunately was eaten up by the sea before they even get to take over the country. It was not Troy's thousand ships. The closest amount of ships that comes near to it was the D-Day fleets with about 4000 of them.


Caught you by surprise doesn't it to know that the biggest fleet was achieved hundred of years ago.


But what is more surprising is the development of the Mongolians themselves. From documentaries and movies, we could see that they usually live up in the mountains. Most of the time separated by miles away.


But they are evolving now.


Take for example, the Mongolians who are here at my work place.


During the first week, they are usually quiet. Walking among themselves. Speaking no English. They hardly make eye contact.


The second week arrives. They get to know basic conversational English. They started to be a little more chirpy than Wednesday(Addam's Family) last week. They began borrowing Friends box sets. All they want is comedy. No other genre. They always nice and prompt when they say, "With subtitles please."


By the third week, the transformation begins. Heavy make up applied. The jeans became shorter. Tee shirt is not an apparel anymore. They become much more tiny than they used to look. A little proficiency in English shown. They began interacting with other students. Most of the time with fellow Intensive English Programme classmates. They adopt an English name, which is a relief. It is always hard to pronounce their Mongolian's name. It spells different and sounded not like what you figured out.


Then the 4th week is here. All hell breaks loose. Micro mini starts to get in the trend. They have join the feminist by burning their bras. You walk down the road and you could not even recognise them anymore.


The worst thing is, I, work in the coldest place in the whole block. I could just feel myself getting blind day by day. 'Morning morning up' is no more a joke. Someone should at least have the courtesy to tell them it's hazardous to turn on the spotlight so early of the day.


Then again I guess the nice person who are willing to walk up and at least try to tell them crashed into the gutter as well. They cannot wipe their grin off their face anymore. They becomes a zombie. They never see the same lights again.


Of course this is just an observation.
