Boloroo - 1st 40,000

Episode Summary

It’s our first-ever journey to Central Asia this week as we venture to the Mongolian capital of Ulaanbaatar (or UB) to speak to Boloroo about the wonderfully-named district of 1st 40,000. How did a neighbourhood come to have such an imaginative (or unimaginative) name? How has the transition between communism and capitalism played a huge role in Mongolian life? How can a country convince its brightest minds to stay rather than emmigrate to the west?
