Monday was an official day off in Tuva. Since 1991 Shagaa (movable according to the Lunar Calendar) and the Day of the Republic (August, 15)  have been celebrated officially after decades of oblivion. January, 30 this time was fixed by the Resolution of the Great Khural of Tuva as the festive day based on the recommendations of the Tuva's Kamby-Lama. Night preachings took place in all the lamaseries of the republic and in the Drama theatre as well. People tried to fight the sleep as it is a general belief that one of the Deities during the night on the Shagaa's eve counts the souls. If you are asleep you won't be counted and will be devoide of a large portion of happiness.

I've heard of the possible bus trips from Tuva to China. Is it true? What is the price of such a trip? (Daniel, Switzerland) Yes, such trips are realized by Tuvan drivers, mostly of the private-owned buses. Two-way trip through Mongolia to Manchuria costs one 10000 rouble (appr 350 dollars). Buses take a start from the parking lot near the Drama theatre in Kyzyl every Tuesday. It is known as a shopping trip for Tuvan merchants who buy there cheap Chinese goods.
