Dushanbe

Text written in: English

Wait a hour for a share taxi filled up its seat, I left Penjikent at about 10:30am. The scenery along the route across the Fan Mountains to Dushanbe was gorgeous, it's Worth to stay a night and make the journey at day time.
Arrived Dushanbe at 7:00pm. When I took a taxi acrossed the city to my hotel, I saw there are full of policeman on the street, looks like another police city after Tashkent. But actually it isn't. And, the first day in Dushanbe, is my second time to have dinner alone...
Some said there is nothing to do in Dushanbe, but I found some avtive bazaars. Instead of tourist slights, I prefer market places, it is a good way to get closure to the local life. I think I will stay here a day or two, to collect my GBAO permit for the Pamirs and sort out the transportation.
I meet some travellers again who I met in O'zbekistan before. It is always nice to meet someone again and again along the way. We have different time frame so we can't go together though. I don't have much time here coz that I have to watch the expire day of my Iranian visa.
