The Durango Herald 10/09/2012 | The warmth of a family meal holds winter’s cold at bay: "Concerned about my daily Ramen noodle intake, professor Bat-Tur, a teacher of Korean Politics at the National University of Mongolia, invited me to his apartment for dinner with the promise of a home cooked meal.
Bat-Tur is a petit, thoughtful man, who speaks precise English, cautiously correcting his verb conjugations halfway through sentences. Mongolian names have special, often literal, significance, and Bat-Tur means “strong government.” Given to him by parents who were unsure if he would survive, his name relates to being born prematurely during the socialist period. The family believed the name “strong government” would impart much needed strength to the baby."
