Howdy all. Last year I came up with idea of trying to work out how you would spend a weekend in various cities with only $200USD in your pocket. Fly in early morning on Saturday and leave Sunday evening. This year, I am only making a small adjustment to the concept, and that is that …
Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan, a city with a bit of modernism about it, a bit of the ancient, and a bit of Russification courtesy of the years spent as a member state of the Soviet Union. The opponent? Well, it's Dhaka, the Bangladeshi capital.
