UB, in between temples and high buildings

Before flying to Khovd, our main destination in the deep west countryside of Mongolia, we are in Ulan Bator (UB for everybody here) for a week, enough time to visit the city and feel its atmosphere.
Like a lot of ex-sovietic cities, the dusty UB seems to fight in between its sovietic heritage, its tradition and new capitalism. Its architecture become then pretty strange...but still living and colorfull, like mongolia people.
Some images of the city:
