Stadttour mit Turkmeninnen, '1984'
... macht die Stadt extrem weistlaeufig und fuehrt dazu, dass eine gespenstische Leere herrscht. Aber eigentlich kann ich dies nicht verurteilen, denn Platz zum bauen hat Turkmenistan nun wirklich genug. Trotzdem kam mir alles sehr unwirklich vor! Auch aufgrund der totalen Ueberwachung, denn an jeder Strassenecke stehen 2 Polizisten und in der Innenstadt gibt es unzaehlige Videokameras. Aufgrund dieser Ueberwachung und Sterilitaet erinnerte mich die Stadt ...
Outrageous Ashbabat
WOW - what can you say about this place.
Surrounded by desert & bare hills, Ashgabat was all but wiped from the earth in 1948 with an earthquake. The rebuild was an uninspiring Soviet city but since independance 20 years ago it has been almost rebuilt. Most of it orchestrated by former President Niyazov - and most of it in honour of himself.

... world. At the bottom lies a lake of clear water, if you can ignore where the countless inhabiting pigeons might poop, naturally heated to about 36'C. When in Rome... So all four of us take a dip, sit in the shallows relaxing and I even had a turn at trying to rockclimb the cave's walls, the water breaking my fall every time. Soon a crowd gathered and we'd had enough. On the way back we passed a military base, young soldiers zipping around planes, helicopters and tanks of every ...
The Marble Kingdom
... warming as the heater blasts against them. But after fifteen you gotta turn it down cos it gets too stuffy and the air is just blasting against your already flushed face, making it hard to even catch your breath. Welcome to Ashgabat, Arabic for 'the city of love'. When we left the lovely air-conditioned hotel's front doors for our first exploration of the city, it felt like sitting into that overheated car. We didn't know our bearings very well ...
