What is a Ger? [ Ger (in Mongolian) = home]

A ger is round, cone-shaped tent. A ger has only one door and no windows.
But it has a small opening at the top, called a 'toono'' which allows
smoke to go out of the stove's chimney. It is made out of boards with a
wool covering so that it is easy to put up and to take down.
