Ashgabat, citycentre
In summer 2008 we started our silkroad trip in Ashgabat in Turkmenistan. I spent only two days in Ashgabat, but tried to experience as much as possible of this white marble city in a desert country with a nomad culture.

We walked around downtown to feel the atmosphere. We visited the several enormous monuments in the south of the city, we strolled around at the russian market and visited the Parthian World Heritage Site outside the town.

 Is it really neutral today? I think there is a lot of beauty in this country and a proud heritage. Great job of presenting.

 Your trip sounds fascinating! The markets & way of life seems interesting and to travel the "silk road" must be the adventure of a lifetime! Nice page!! Sylvia

 Great pics Ali! Heel mooi. Kijk vooruit om je te ontmoeten in Cork. Heb je al een hostel gevonden? Groetjes van Agnes
