Water, water is the most important source for life existence; water is the most important substance. Of course, no life is possible without water, maybe that’s why there are no populated settlements or cities in places in different continents and areas where there are no water resources. As regards to Tajikistan, well, I think that this country doesn’t have such problems, because it has very rich water resources, and they include some natural water resources, such as rivers and lakes, and there are a great number of them in the Tajikistan Republic. In mountain area there are many rivers flowing from mountains. And, of course, Tajikistan has a big water % as natural resources. That’s why this republic has no problems with lack of water, and that’s why some biggest cities in the country also have no problems with electricity, and of course, the same cannot be said about another republic on the west from Tajikistan, near the Caspian Sea- Turkmenistan. About 70% of its area are covered by desert, called the Karakum desert where, of course, no water resources can be found, and Turkmenistan certainly has many problems with lack of water and water supply system in desert areas. It may be very dangerous if you probably have lost yourself, or for some reason you have to stay in desert areas of this country. The temperature is extremely hot and is higher during summer season when daytime temperature can rise up to +50° C, and during night time it often falls below 0° C. It can be also dangerous because there are no water resources in this area. Of course, this is a very interesting country, but if you probably want to talk about a republic near Chinese and Afghan borders, that is, about the Tajikistan Republic, there are, of course, no such problems present, as absence of water, and, of course, the summer temperature also is not so high as in Turkmen country; in summers the temperature can reach +40° C, except only mountain areas where the air can be colder and not so hot. In winter the air temperature in mountain areas of the Tajikistan Republic can be very cold, and as I know and have read about that, in some places in upland regions of this country the temperature can fall below -20° C. Thus, probably, winters in the Tajikistan Republic can be very cold, but the cold period lasts not so long. Of course, in some places west of the Tajik Republic the weather is not so extremely cold, and maybe the climate in this republic can be not so warm in winter time, as it could be in this area, and not so fresh and cold in summer. But there also some natural disasters can happen, such as snow avalanches what use to happen in Western China and Nepal, in the Himalayas. Also it is very interesting to watch how the weather, maybe for example, can touch the Tajik capital – Dushanbe city. Streets in this season are covered with snow, as exactly in other northern cities. But then snow disappears rather quickly, it does not stay on streets for a long time. It may be only for a half of week, and then streets, squares and parks of Dushanbe city regain the same look as exactly other South cities, maybe without snow, and the air temperature is about +5° C or just higher… As it happens to be in this season and this time, but recently the Government of the Tajikistan Republic, not in official level, or just wanting to tell to all Tajik nation that there is a holiday, maybe it has to do with the New Year and its celebrations, what are no so popular for Tajikistan people because it is not a cultural holiday and a day celebrated by the Islamic world and Muslims; and that’s why the traditions of that holiday have to become or are becoming a thing of the past… Because, as it may be with Persian nations and Turkic nations (all Central Asian Republics except only Tajikistan) do celebrate the Persian New Year or, as it is traditionally known in these countries- the Nowruz holiday, therefore this holiday season means the beginning of astronomic spring season, and it starts from the 20^th of March and lasts until the 24^th of March. This holiday is celebrated throughout the whole Central Asian Republics, and also in Iran and Afghanistan. Maybe, it is the most popular holiday and celebration season for these countries, but the idea of it is only the beginning of spring, and, of course, it does not stay with the Religion of Islam. Maybe, in the Tajikistan Republic this holiday is called the Persian New Year which symbolizes the spring and nature. How often in this country, maybe, not everyone can celebrate these important moments with big celebrations, but, of course, beginning of spring is expected very much in this country, and all its population, of course, try to feel deeply these moments.

Yesterday I wrote about some education problems and how it is in the Tajikistan Republic, and maybe it was interesting to find out that literacy rate in this republic is much higher than in other countries of that region. Maybe, it is the same as in Uzbekistan or Kazakhstan, but, for certain, if you want to get, for example, information about some other countries, such as Afghanistan or Pakistan, or maybe also Iran – in those countries it is, of course, lower than in the Tajikistan Republic, maybe also the education ad literacy rate in this Asian Republic is very high, because according to statistic information of this Republic, 99.5% of population can read and write, and maybe they also have secondary school or higher education level… Thus, of course, it is also very necessary to understand that Tajikistan population can enter in all social life circles, such as jobs and other parts of occupation… So, of course, it’s no so, the true of some idea how to find any occupation of job to get necessary income, but, of course, it is so great to see that this Republic has a very high percent of education level and literacy rate which for the Central Asia is quite unbelievable, and that’s why Tajik population is just as well educated, as other nations in Asia.
