Peru was alot of fun though i did get mild altitude sickness and then a flu later. I hiked the Inca trail to Machu Pichu. I also went down into the amazon for a week, got to feed piranahs crackers. Not the dangerous speckled red belly species that everyone knows about. This was one of the other species, one that is purely herbivorous.
In Mongolia I went out and stayed in the countyside around Ulan Batar for a few days. I got to ride a mongolian horse and we drank fermented mares milk with a nomad family living out there. I also got to try horse, the taste isnt signifigantly different from beef, though its a tougher meat. Ulan Batar itself is dirty, crowded and in a state of extreme poverty. There are still some cool monuments and temples though, I visited one with a 50 ft statue of Budha in it.
