Not Quite a Lemonade Stand

Remember the kids in the neighborhood that would sell lemonade from a stand on the sidewalk? Well, it's not quite the same thing in Central Asia. (OK, I'm stretching the joke. This photo really isn't typical.)

It's hard to see on the side of the tank, but this is a квас (kvass) stand. Kvass is some kind of alcoholic drink that sounds pretty interesting, but I haven't tried yet. I saw these two kids operating this thing and had to take a photo. I've joked with cashiers in the US about whether they were old enough to sell me the beer I was buying. I don't know what the law says in Tajikistan, but I guess these kids are old enough.
