Do Mongolians still prefer receiving hard copy photos?
The seventh edition of Lonely Planet Mongolia recommends that people taking photos of Mongolians should offer to repay the favour by printing the photos out and snail mailing it to them.
The concept of repaying the favour seems fair enough, but the mention of a hard copy and snail mail seems more suitable to a bye gone era (page 123 quotes archeologist Jamsranjav Bayarsaikhan recommending bringing a Polaroid camera, which I think are no longer manufactured).
Yes, I'm aware that many Mongolians are nomadic, but I would have thought that'd mean they'd be more likely to prefer electronic copy.
Should I offer to, and be prepared for, printing out and mailing photos?
