My older brother is moving to Mongolia for work. As this country is close to Korea, China and Japan, I can only assume that they will have some shops selling dvd's. He will be in the capital city Ulaan Bataar for a couple of years at least and coming back once or twice a year so he could bring me some dvd's.

Anyone have any ideas for shops, preferrably ones where they understand english (else it might be a while before he can speak Mongol).

(One thing I wonder that's unrelated, if you go to a shop in those countries, are dvd's priced lower than around here or the same price? I don't mean bootlegs but legit dvd's for the region)

I didn't think anyone was going to respond to your inquiry, but I guess I will. I was at a trade show a few months back where I got some info on doing business in Mongolia. It seemed really really far-fetched but somehow I kept it in the back of my mind.

You can try contacting the people at this site:

perhaps they can help. A longshot, but who knows? The population of Ulan Bator is only like 500,000, so someone ought to know.
