This might be a long shot....
I've been offered a job teaching chemistry in a school in Ulaanbaatar, capital of Mongolia.
Do they play bridge there?

there seems to be an office.
bridgeguys http://www.bridgeguy...Federation.html
and
pabf http://www.pabf.org/pabfdirectory.asp
give different phone numbers, though. At least they agree on the address.

Yes they do play bridge there .... but .....
Mongolia took part in a bridge tournament in Australia in 2008,
losing virtually every match 0-25. They also played in the first
Asia Cup in China in 2010, but withdrew after a series of 0-25 losses.
At that time, the people who ran the country wanted to turn Mongolia,
with its huge new copper mine and coal mine (amongst the biggest in the world)
into a democracy with all sorts of opportunities, and were interested in having
their youth and adults trained up at bridge. Then these folk lost power - voted out,
I believe. I don't know how the new people who run Mongolia feel about bridge.
The people running bridge there in 2008 were at the highest level of government,
and Mongolia at that time was one of the fastest growing economies in the world.
If you email me privately, I can send you links that might be useful
My friends tell me that Ulaan Bator is wonderful, but is very very cold in winter.
