Got Hiam?


Got Hiam?This design pertains to the ever present Mongolian sausage called hiam. Yummy! Remember that if you want to buy the goods, you can click on the link in the post, or click on the shop links to the right. Those will take you to the Mongol Mama Cafépress shops.

Gers, not Yurts

It's a Ger, not a Yurt:This new design clarifies the pronunciation of the name of Mongolian felt tents (gers) because it's sure not said "gur" like Julia Roberts thought, and they are definitely not called yurts.

Jerseys & Mugs

Yes, it's real...

Some people wonder if they really can order these shirts, mugs, and other items, and the answer is an emphatic yes! If you select the "store" of items that you are interested in (such as Not Russian) it will take you to my store in Cafepress which is an on-line design and printing company through whom you can order these highly useful items.

Who Me?


Who me?:This question is ever so common in Mongolia. You ask someone a question, and even if they are the only other person around, often they’ll ask, “Who me?” It’s a habit of sorts. It’s quite fun actually, and for those of us who are slower thinkers, the use of it can buy some time. Where do you live? Who me? Will you teach me English? Who me? How many kilos of beef do you want? Who me?

I'm not Russian

I'm Not Russian: Do you have people trying to speak Russian to you or calling you a Russian person? Perhaps one of these shirts will help. They say, “I’m not a Russian person” in Mongolian. They come in a few different styles and are great for the whole family!

Scotching Fiend

Scotching Fiend: These shirts stem from a fascination with scotch tape and it’s multiple uses. This fascination was the catalyst for a song, and now the song has led to the shirts.

I Speak Mongolian

I speak Mongolian: Do you struggle with people ignoring you, speaking loudly, or trying to speak an assortment of foreign languages to you when you actually do speak some Mongolian?

Mongol Mama

Mongol Mama: Several people have told me that they like the Mongol Mama logo, so here are a variety of products sporting just that, the logo.
