I'm in Tajikistan Again!

Hello Everyone!
I know it has been about eight months since I last posted. I really don't have a very good reason for such a violation of your interest in reading this except that about the same time I started writing another blog for the Foreign Policy Association. Having a required blog means that my energy has been sapped for writing personal accounts. the site is: religion.foreignpolicyblogs.com
Just to update, I'm now living once again in Tajikistan. I've been here for about six months, working on a project through the Geneva Graduate Institute - called the Tajikistan Dialogue Project. The length of my contract is 18 months, which really can take a toll on someone unsuspecting - but as it is now my 3rd visit here, I think I'm ready to survive Tajikistan for the long haul.
Winter is starting to set in now in Dushanbe, but fortunately during the 7th and 8th months, I'll be returning to NYC to prep for the bar exam.
Hopefully tomorrow or soon, I can post a few pictures for you.
