The Ultimate Google News on Mongolia

To keep up to date with any news Google News seems the place to go. If your country is blessed with a customized google news (like cuba) you have it made because all news relevant for your country is automatically sorted and displayed by the big google machine. However, it seems that for Mongolia that might be some time away. Now the problem that arises from this is that you have to use search terms to actually generate some content, and that is not ideal. It means you miss out on a lot of content that IS relevant, but just doesn't feature the keyword provided. But maybe more annoying is getting articles that happen to contain the keyword but just aren't really relevant.
I am afraid there is simply isn't a cure for this ail yet, but there is a way to get a bit more relevant info instead of just typing "mongolia" in the search bar.
The first thing is that you actually want things Mongolian, which would argue for using the search term ^Mongolian^ as well. You could to that with the OR operator resulting in ^Mongolia OR Mongolian^. There is a possibility you might not want information on astronauts landing in INNER Mongolia, which can be achieved by filtering out the term ^"Inner Mongolia"^ (mind the quotes) with the [-] operator, making it all together something like:

Mongolia OR Mongolian -"Inner Mongolia"

You can add as many OR or - operators as you want like:

Mongolia OR Mongolian OR "Genghis Khan" -"Inner -Mongolia" -mining -mines

This would generate results for genghis khan, but not for items related to mining or mines. Of course it is a bit tedious to type all this in on your daily news hunt, so it might help to bookmark the page or create an email alert.

Mongolia and Brunei....

Sometimes things are unbelievable, sometimes they are predictable and sometimes they are somewhere in the middle, but still take you slightly by surprise.
I heard Monaco and Mongolia started diplomatic relations, because they where simply sitting next to each other (thanks to the alphabet) in a - undoubtedly extremely boring - international meeting. The connection with Brunei seems to be more of a religious issue, where the Islamic minority in the west of Mongolia has established contact with the small Sultanate. A parliamentary visit might take no one by surprise , but the announcement of a visit of president Enkhbayar certainly did.
