There's a lot of possibilites out there yeah, but also a lot of empty nothingness. It's also worth noting that much like eastern europe, many building which we would see and think abandoned, are actually occupied. I remember seeing factories in Poland which look totally derelict from one angle, are in fact fully operational when you walk around the other side. Also, in the regions we saw outside of Ulaan Baatar every single item with any scrap value was gone. All the building we saw (which hadn't been reinhabited) had been totally stripped. It's absoluetly worth the trip though, get a motor/bike and ride into the sunset in search of the unknown.
