As bluegrass fans we always look forward to going back to our roots sitting comfortably in an Irish pub I with my Guinness and she with her lager listening to the roots of the music we love, or even, as happened one night last May in Sligo (Ireland) American country music. It's all good and the people are wonderful, as is the Guinness. Do it. Can I pimp my nonprofit, all-expense website? WeGoEco.com is your home site for finding eco-friendly tourism information.

It really hit home when I was in Ulaan Bataar, Mongolia and, while the increasingly cosmopolitan city has its share of Bavarian bakeries, British pub 'n' grubs, Italian trattorias and Mongolian Grills (read: American-style Mongolian food), it wasn't until the Irish Pub and Restaurant opened in late summer 2005 that city-dwellers felt like they had finally "made it." Indeed, their version of an Irish Pub (normally associated with down-to-earth casualness) was, and probably still is, the pre-eminent high-class eatery in town. The good thing about UB is that there weren't ANY chain restaurants to be found! That, I hope, still is the case. I second the Irish Pub.

Also worth mentioning was the KFC next to the Sphinx, which I understand was removed after protests as well.
