#Travel #Dushanbe
My first impressions of the city:
There’s a lot of construction going on, kind of like Tashkent 4-5 years ago (or maybe even now).
There’s a great mix of car brands, and most taxis seem to be BYD cars.
People don’t really follow road rules—jaywalking (crossing the street outside designated crosswalks or against traffic signals) is even more common here than in Tashkent.
The language difference really stands out and makes it feel like a completely foreign country. When I was in Almaty about 12 years ago, I felt more at home mainly because of the language.
I haven’t met the teachers I’ll be training yet, so I have no idea about their language level.
