Tajikistan

Sorry for the huge delay on posts, just lots of distractions and school and BLEH! Anyways, let's start. We can't do Afghanistan because Americans are not allowed to visit it.

CUISINE
The most common dish is Plov, a rice dish mixed with shredded yellow turnip or carrot and chunks of meat. It is all fried together in vegetable oil or mutton fat. The meat is cubed and the veggies are finely chopped into long strips. It is eaten with your hands and no utensils. Tajikistan's grapes and melons were often prized by the Soviet Union and their fruits consist of many things such as Peaches, Figs, Persimmons, Apricots, Pears, Apples, and Peaches to list a few. Every meal is also generally served or offered with tea in between meals as a gesture of hospitality to guests and visitors. Because of universal popular tea drinking, the Tea-House (Or the Choykhona) is the most common gathering place in Tajikistan. The Tea-House is very similar to Western-Style coffee shops. Overall, Tajik cuisine is a very normal and nice cuisine. But it still looks and sounds delicious.

ATTRACTIONS
First off is the Fann Mountains, a humungous mountain range in the Sughd province. It is a very beautiful place and contains our next attraction; Iskanderkul. Iskanderkul is a mountain lake in the Fann Mountains formed by glacial activity, it is a bright blue lake and is just north of the Gissar Range in the Fann Mountains. Finally, is the Ayni Opera & Ballet Theatre, it is a very beautiful theatre, it has a mainly Persian influence to it making it look like a Persian building, and to enter you must pay 20 Somoni per person. Speaking of Somoni...

PEOPLE
The currency of Tajikistan is the Somoni (TJS) and 1 USD equals about 6 Somoni, which is really great for Tajikistan. Also, want to hear the best part? All types of crime, as of 2014, have dropped to a 0.01% chance of any type of crime happening. Now time for the final score!
