The photo
I'm from Mongolia. My name is Erdenesuvd Enhkhtaivan. The traditional costume of the Mongols has a rich history spanning many centuries. The costumes are used in different situations, for example: somebody rides on horseback over the steppe, or he dances at a national festival. The conditions of climate influence on the kind of dress, with different costumes for the seasons of the year.
This picture is of my father and brother on my wedding day. My home is behind them: we call our traditional dwelling place a Ger. My father and brother are dressed our traditional clothes too.

There is a lot of different food at the wedding ceremony. The most special is roasted sheep and milk-wine. Because Mongolia is a nomadic nation (meaning people who have travel from place to place for centuries). Beef, lamb and milk are our traditional meals. In this picture our Wedding meal - roasted sheep. One elder is giving guests lamb
