you know you live in mongolia when...

...you painstakingly saw a can of black beans open with a knife.

Because they are black beans- gosh darn it. And they are a rare treat. And you're having burritos for dinner. And the can opener breaks before it does any significant good whatsoever.

But it worked. The can and its metal lid did. not. win.

And black beans were consumed. The burritos rejoiced. And I realized that I had just spent 15 minutes violently sawing a knife through metal.

Oh the skills I never thought I'd gain from Mongolia.
