+# +08:00 instead. Different sources appear to disagree with the tz

+# There it appears that flights between Choibalsan and Ulaanbatar arrive
+# about 1:35 - 1:50 hours later in local clock time, no matter the
+# direction, while Ulaanbaatar-Khvod takes 2 hours in the Eastern
+# direction and 3:35 back, which indicates that Ulaanbatar and Khvod are
+# in different time zones (like we know about), while Choibalsan and
+# Ulaanbatar are in the same time zone (correction needed).

+# From Arthur David Olson (2008-05-19):
+# Assume that Choibalsan is indeed offset by 8:00.
