Believe It or Not: Children are Taking a Bath in the Park’s Fountains

In Summer season 2011. I was strolling around the capital of Tajikistan, Dushanbe. A group of children was taking a bath in the park’s fountains. It was a new experience and managed to take a photo. The children were so happy splashing the water to each other. I can’t believe that it is possible to do this in the center part of the country. “Is it possible to take a bath in your park’s fountains?” Image Credit: Shavkat

@TiarasOceanView I think it is not possible in public places. Perhaps it can be done in isolated places. But I never have seen it.lol

That's better than not bathing anyway. But they'll probably get caught by the police.

@Tierkreisze I agree. The policemen didn't do anything. @Lupita234 I think they took time taking a bath in the park.

Actually I have never seen anyone take a bath in our fountains here so cannot comment either way.

Even in my country, it was a good experience. I took this picture in the summer season in Tajikistan.

I am sure they will. It is also my first time to hear that there is no fountain in a certain place.

It is very much allowed in here. It is not an issue and it's not illegal for children ( I don't know about adults ) to take a bath at public fountains. Whether it's the park's fountains or the governor's fountain.

It is nice to know that children can do this in your country. Is it fine on both city or countryside?

@valenyosas I think it is a good way for the children to experience this. By the way, welcome to mylot.

@Shavkat It is fine on both city and countryside. It's just that there are so many poor people that don't have water, so the government allow children to take a bath and play in the fountains. Their fountains, the government's.

@hostessman I was really surprised but they didn't even feel so scared when a policeman walks through the park.

they are innocent kids, so they don't mind if they break any rules, as long as they enjoy.

It could be dangerous because it is not clean and there could be some electrical connections there.
