Dear readers

I am a Norwegian girl who participate in a peace corps exchange for one year in Tajikistan (and possibly Togo). The exchange is between Norges Naturvernforbund (Friends of the Earth Norway) and their partner organization “Little Earth” in Tajikistan.

On this blog I want to share all of my everyday experiences, misunderstandings and mistakes that may occur in a foreign country with a foreign language and culture. I will also tell about the people, the hospitality, fashion, weather, food, religion, politics and the social customs of a country that most people have scarcely heard of.

The blog is unfortunately written in Norwegian, as this is my mother language. However, may be possible to translate the blog into English through google translate. I will also write a short summary of each blog post in english on FK-world.com!

Hope you will enjoy reading my blog. I am obviously delighted for feedback and comments!

Sincerley, Helga Lerkelund
