Sabbatical in Tajikistan

Sabbatical - a time of "rest and refreshment" from one's regular job. In our case, as I have a sabbatical from Biola University and Lee has a sabbatical from Frontier Ventures, it's not going to be a traditional rest, but a time of being refreshed and revitalized through a change of pace. We'll be spending five months in Tajikistan.
Tajikistan - a place we visited for a few days in 2011, a place where I spent a few weeks in 2013, and a place we're looking forward to getting to know better.
We'll be in the capital, Dushanbe.

Fulbright - a U.S. State Department program to promote cultural understanding and the sharing of expertise. I received a grant to train local English language teachers.
