Dushanbe is a beautiful place, I'm so happy to have had the opportunity to travel here and experience the people and the languages(Tajik, Farsi, Russian) here in Tajikistan.
One of the first things I noticed about this city is how many people are outside at all times whether at 5 in the morning or at 11 at night. The streets are a happening place. Men and women of all ages, even little babies being carried around by their almost equally tiny siblings are always to be seen walking and generally hanging out throughout the streets of Duhanbe.
There is an extreme sense of community, everyone knows everyone and everyone greets everyone.
There are especially many little girls around, I don't know if this is because there is little else to do between chores over summer vacation or if they are actually currently doing chores, visiting aunts and uncles and picking things up from the little corner stores.
Whether they are smiling with me or at me, they're smiles are contagious.
