I was standing near an ashtray in KLCC Park when a very beautiful woman came to ask me for a light. I didn’t have one as I no longer smoke. Asking for lighter in a club years ago was how gay people determine a stranger’s preference or interest by the way you hand over the lighter. I can’t remember the mechanism now.
Anyway, it was an innocent request and I got to know her. She was Boloro Dendev on Fb (@tina_hk on IG). In-spite of her trademark icy demeanor, she turned out to be a very warm person with a great sense of humour. She spoke English with a Hong Kong accent and she looked Chinese.
Mongolia Matters
After a long chat, I found out she is Mongolian but lives in Hong Kong where she is known as Tina. We became Facebook and IG friends and I saw her posting about being afraid to go outside at her home in her country when temperature was -30C one day in February. Wanted to confirm with her and she replied saying it is can be as low as -65 C ! Yikes. How many can remember the song “Cold As Ice” by Foreigner?
Mind you, she is a native of the country and grew up there but yet she found it unbearable when she is home. Maybe it was her years of living abroad.
I was thinking of visiting the capital Ulaanbaatar during summer one of these days. I asked Boloro for a hotel she likes and she mentioned the Shangri-la Ulaanbaatar. There are many Mongolian hotels listed in MyCen Hotels, should you decide to go there.

That is; if you want a hotel room in Paris with a view of the Eiffel Tower from your bed. You could also sit on the balcony with a glass of champagne taking in the view. Or see the super structure from the bath tub in the room.
You pay dearly for it. Not for those who think the Shangri-la KL is expensive at RM 450 (low price at MyCen Hotels). The Paris hotel is RM 4232 a night! (lowest guaranteed price).
Just a friendly reminder that MyCen Hotels can take bookings ranging from a backpackers’ hostel in Chinatown KL to a five star Parisian luxury hotel.
