MY DUSHANBE DIGS

A few photos of my apartment. It's in a crummy-looking building that is on the outside a monument to Soviet drabness and on the inside a fine example of Tajik artistry. I'll have some outside photos later, along with some pix of my office and the area in general, so I can bore all you good readers later.

Enclosed parlor, off living room, with south-facing view.

Entry hall from doorway, looking toward bath and den. Kitchen is to the right, living room to the left.






Living room from parlor. Bedroom is toward back left.









Somewhere in the bowels of my camera are photos of the bedroom and bathroom, which randomly decided not to transfer to my laptop. I'll try again tomorrow. I didn't take closeups, being an idiot, but there is original artwork on all the living room walls, done by Tajik artists of international repute; the carpets are Uzbek, Tajik and Afghan; and slip covers are Greek silk. Now, if it only had reasonable heat!
