I Have No Idea What She Is Saying

I was watching "Tungalag Tanaid Honoy 1" on you tube and it looked like a guy on TV was trying to get someone to let him into their home to interview them and all I could see was how people acted to each other, which is absolutely normal there, including the way most people told him to leave them alone. Eventually he found a woman with a couple of kids who let him in her ger, and from a western point of view it gets weird here, but when you consider that mongolian weather is insane and the only furniture in a ger is usually a futon and some boxes its not at all. When you figure also that the shy act of women is paper thin and we are all psychokillers its also not too weird.
Anyway I got to watch people normally behave in every possible way I've ever really gotten in trouble for around here in a place where you wouldn't act any other way at all and apparently its a long interview that goes on for more than 7 videos.
*I can guess what she's saying, normal stuff a homeowner says to someone who invites themselves in, in a place where people do that and you know they will and you've seen it before and it usually doesn't go badly but you've heard all the stories too*
