Genghis Khan, that is....

In 1206, a Mongol warrior named Temüjin united the Mongol tribes and began one of the greatest conquests in world history, as the Mongols swept westward across the Asian steppes and well into Europe (just ask the Russians!) and the Middle East (both Iraq and Iran do not think kindly of him).
Today, the annual Naadam festival kicks off in Mongolia’s capital city of Ulan Bator, and the Mongolians are making a concentrated effort to venerate Genghis Khan’s accomplishments; he had been frowned upon when Communists ruled the country. There’s even a movement afoot to rename Ulan Bator (which means “Red Hero") to Genghis City. So if you want to go to one monster party with lots of wine (actually, wodka!), women, and horses, then Mongolia’s the place to be.
