| The Ismoili Somoni monument |
Our first day in Dushanbe had us pay a visit to the Tajik Agriculture Science Academy to meet with the president. After some formalities and a brief run down on their gene bank (containing over 300 accessions of apricots and are currently repatriating crops collected by the Soviet Union during their occupation of Tajikistan) we were free to have a look around Dushanbe while Scout and Jan sorted out some finer details with the academy before our departure for the Pamirs.
