Mongolia has lots of celebrities – you will probably not know them, but they are very popular here. Just like in the UK, pop stars, sports stars and actors are well liked. Young people have posters on their bedroom wall, showing a picture of their favourite person.
One person who is famous not just in Mongolia is Hakuko, the best Sumo wrestler in the world. Hakiko is very famous in both Mongolia and Japan, and is one of the richest people in the country. He is only the fourth non-Japanese person to become a Yokozuna (a Sumo wrestling master). In his career he has won 338 fights, and has only lost 128 times. asdasd

The President of Mongolia is called Nambaryn Enkhbayar. His photo is displayed in most buildings, and Mongolians are very proud when they get to meet him. People are sometimes given awards from the President when they have done good thing for the nation.
Not many famous people visit Mongolia. However, President George W Bush, and Hollywood film stars Julia Roberts and Richard Gere all came last year. George Bush came to build better relations with Mongolia, and to thank the Mongolian Government for sending troops to help with the war in Iraq. Julia Roberts came to visit a special park which is helping preserve the wild Przewalski horse. Richard Gere is very interested in Buddhism, and so came to see Mongolia's buddist temples.
