Together with my class mates Dilshod and Alisher we planned to go to Iskanderkul (Great Alexander's) lake. We traveled late in the evening, at night. We reached the tourist compound and stayed there. Nextdaywesawallthebeautyaroundus.

Tajik wedding
Before leaving Tajikistan I was invited to the tajik wedding. Tajikistan has a problem with weddings. Tajik people mostly very poor, but everybody wants to celebrate wedding equal to or better than the rich. So it became something like wedding race, as a result of which poor people made a lot of debts and payed off for years. So president Rahmon put an end to it legally. According to the law one can invite only 150 people to the wedding duration of which could not exceed 3 hours :-)
