Mongolian Parliament Election is in June 2008. You could already smell it. In anticipation of upcoming elections most officials are busy with promoting themselves, making propagandas, and election campaigns in their election regions. There is nothing wrong with that, every country has this issue. However, in Mongolia it has good and bad sides. Every street and road becomes clean and paved. Your apartment blocks are fixed, if you have any problems the officials, election candidates, are very nice and will listen to you. They will build playgrounds, they will fight for the rights of the residents in the local area, will get your land back from greedy businesses, etc. However, as soon as the election finishes, it suddenly becomes so quite. Feels like the area, which was just bursting and bubbling with activities, got empty. Until the elections, no major decision will be made. Do not hope to accomplish your job before elections. "Wait until the end of it", is the usual recommendation. All mobile phones are switched off. Office numbers are either busy, or the officials are not there. As soon as the officials step into the "power seats" reverse will happen. Your living area will be trashed, the land will be granted to greedy corporates etc. The playground will break down, it will wait for 4 years, until the next election.
"I'm really sorry to bug you Mr. Authority Official, but I need my tasks to be completed and my work to be done. The world does not wait until end of the elections! Jesus! Please hear me and do your job!!!"
