AND NOW TO THIS WEEK'S EPISODE...

If I could point to ONE region in Tajikistan's wild east that possesses the ideals of paradise...peace, simplicity, and the kindness of people...it would undoubtedly be Tajikistan's Wakhan Valley.

To the casual student of geography, the Wakhan Valley is that southern loop of Tajikistan that hugs the border communities of Afghanistan for hundreds of kilometres east and west.
To the passionate student of culture and paradox, it becomes so much more! It is here that the border communities are so close to each other, you can lean out of your window in Tajikistan and almost kiss your neighbour in Afghanistan.
It is here that the players of the Great Game descended a century and a half ago and carved up the Nation of Wakhan, scattering it across Tajikistan, Pakistan, China, and Afghanistan...creating mirror images of communities divided by arbitrary lines on a map, two reflections that were once one.

In this episode, we shall take a peek at the curious people we met in the valley: their customs, their language, their heritage.
You will have to wait till NEXT week's episode to witness the raw beauty of the landscape, understand the intricacies of the Great Game, and wonder when YOU shall get to enjoy all this in person! 😎
