Contact Update and WishList

For those of you wanting to get a hold of us via snail mail, send letters and packages to:

Jessica and Clayton Maring
Ulaanbaatar Elite International School
P.O. Box 32 / 1 Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
Tel: +976 - 11 - 462606

Its always good to include the phone number, even though so far we have been able to pick up packages before they call us, which is usually the day after we pick them up. We can talk to you all for free if you have a Skype account -- it is free to sign up and the connection is good -- it means we can talk to you over the internet. If you want help with it, just send us an email. Even if you can't get an account, we can call you with ours and its still pretty cheap.

So, we've been asked a lot lately what kinds of things we need or would like. So, I've made a list of things that would be great to have, but we certainly don't want you to feel like you have to send all or any of them. The best thing is hearing from you with a phone call or email. But, here's the list. :)

carmex (lip balm stuff)
tylenol -- they don't have it here!
body lotion for very dry skin - (aveeno is good, or Udderly Smooth cream)
Ramen Noodles -- the cup-o-soup things here are aweful, and ramen is cheap and light to ship!
Mac and Cheese
socks - any kind, as long as they're thick and long
a wire wisk
a potatoe peeler -- we have one, and its crap.
dust spray or dust wipes -- everything in the house is covered in coal dust, and i have to dust all the time
cough syrup - any kind
coloring books
markers - any kind, any colors - even just colored pencils here are soooo expensive - $20 for a 24 pack of crappy colored pencils. like we said, its weird what things here are expensive.
Airborne -- cold fighting tablets
colored paper - any colors, and sizes
recipes for things made from scratch - cakes, breads, pastas, meatloaf, something with rice...

after this weekend we will post more photos for you to see.
