We're in Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan. We headed up this hill that offers a view of the whole city. It's a very peaceful place. You can hear the laughter of children playing in the hills as the sun sets behind the mountains.

While we were in Tajikistan we had a really cool experience. Being a Central Asian country sometimes it’s kind of hard for you to find someone you can speak in English with. This is not a complain whatsoever but we don’t how to speak Russian (and I can tell you: we would love to learn Russian to have the chance to communicate in such a cool and interesting language). So after going to a couple of places and enjoying the magnificent landscapes the country has to offer we were starving so we looked for a place where we could sit down, watch the sunset and eat something. We managed to find a cozy outdoors restaurant that was on a hill. The place had the overview of the city of Dushanbe. By this point we were really hungry. After a couple of minutes our waitress came and she didn’t speak English.

The menu was on Cyrillic so we were basically lost in translation. However Tony started making sounds and gestures asking for some food. Our waitress was laughing and we were as well. Finally, after a couple of attempts, the three of us made the sound and gestures of a cow. Our waitress laughed and nodded. Beef was one of the things on the menu. A couple of minutes later we were eating some skewers and a salad (yeah, we even managed to get a salad, how cool is that?). Part of the happiness of travelling is managing to communicate with others (regardless the language barrier) and having a big smile on your face.
