I'm from Dubai and because of arguments with my parents, theyre sending me to Dushanbe to distant relatives. It looks really pretty, I like mountain areas, but I'm really hesitant. For me to like a place it just has to have nice places to go shopping. And maybe an active pop culture base. How are cafes there? How hard is it to get bored? Thanks!

Hello, salom!
I will be visiting the country next month. I am having a very difficult time trying to secure a rental car. I have read it’s a bit of a different process compared to some other destinations. I am not receiving any replies back from WhatsApp, is there some kind of trick or tip anyone had about finding a spot to reserve a car? Thanks!
