For Reinna and Fam

Hm. In answer to your requests Ms. Quick ... (tee hee)

Bathrooms. Well in the house that we are staying in we have a pretty normal bathroom. Stand-up shower, toilet, sink. Pretty basic stuff. The public restrooms here are basically holes in the ground like you guessed, but i havent used them because i'm sorta aftraid of them haha. Oh and another cool thing, the toilet paper is colored. There is no white toilet paper. The colors that i've seen are pink, green, and yellow. It's really weird lol.

Ya, i thought the old man was being really nice and was going to invite us for tea. He was speaking Russian so of course i couldnt understand what he was talking about, but i just ASSUMED that he was inviting us for tea. Garth of course declined the offer if any because he, like i said, had other things in mind haha. CREEPY!

The food is pretty good actually. There is a ton of bread, soup, and tea. A LOT of tea. In the Bazzar (the market by Garth's house) you can buy foods that you would find in America like cereal, yougurt, chocolate, just different candies and stuff. It's all pretty good food though.

Alright, im off to the village. Dasvidanna (goodbye in russian hehe)

Hey Austi! Its Zac, sounds like you are having a great time and I know that you are enjoying it to the fullest!!! Can you believe that someone from a small town of Oroville has had the opportunity to go to Tajikistan! That is awesome! Make sure you take a lot of pictures so I can see them! What do you notice is the main difference in the schooling their compared to Oroville? Have fun and be safe!!!
