Turkmenistan is a place that has always fascinated me. After squaring away my visa, I boarded the flight to this interesting country. It is a trip unlike any that I have ever taken

Its doesnt look creepy to me! It look like paradise! Im sick of people! No st pid on their phone screaming beside you on the bus, no one with their horrible 3liter of parfum before you at the register, just silence and peace, enough room for yourself, no .sshole bump into you without apology, no rude dumb dumbs. No uneducated brats with their shoes on the train seat.

You can drive a car that isn't white, but only in the villages. You can play videogames anytime. Dogs are only banned from the Capital City. (You obviously don't want a 100-Pound Central Asian Shephard roaming around a nice and soft city.) You have WiFi there, and Social Media is accessed only through VPN. When I went there 4 months ago, it was not empty LOL. Many cars everywhere. I'm not sure if it was only because it was Winter Season. I am personally Ethnic-Turkmen myself. Though I do not live there. 🇹🇲

Awesome tour video about my country 😇Normally it's not empty that much, usually people going out for Picknick out there near those beautiful as called 3 leg building or 8 leg building, and in the Berkarar where you had lunch, it's crowded in the evening. The first traditional hat which is puffy usually groom is wearing once during their wedding (we are celebrating wedding almost for 4 days not including engagement ceremony) the other small hat with embroidery is mostly common and part of uniform at school and at the university but for girls the design and colour is a bit different than boys'. And that shopping place we call as a Russian bazar and idk why but most tourists visiting and shopping there😁 About Kowata, it's a mysterious place for me, and a bit creepy 😅 the water was clean and warm before, idk why there were white things 🤔 About food, you should have tried "Kelle bash ayak" it's a head and legs of sheep, sounds crazy but the taste is amazing, especially tongue and eye balls without the black, "Dograma" from meaning chopping/dicing (bread), you can eat that as a dry way or with soup😋, "Tamdyr somsa" it's like a meat pie but baked in a special oven called Tamdyr... Etc. I enjoyed watching this video

You really gave us a journey regardless if it’s what they wanted you to see. They should be proud of the work you do in giving this very unknown country a positive view. Glad you went for us as I’d never go even as a former charter/schedule flight attendant. Well maybe if I was still your age and the company was paying for it 😂 Great review 👍

I wonder if other travelers feel that sometimes. Happy travels, cool to see this video, be safe ✌

Thanks for this vid! Planning on going there myself in the next 6-8 months. Any chance you could post or send me contact info for your Turkmen tour company and Tim? Seems like an upright operation and good value for what you paid! Thanks!

Why did you not once in this video ask why it’s so empty everywhere? That seems a pretty fundamental question.

Yeah but they wouldn’t tell the truth anyway! More importantly why didn’t he shine his phone around his room at night to see how many reflections he got? Because absolutely there were cameras everywhere he was 24/7.

What a captivating country!! I wish you'd bought one of the big furry hats though - I think Mrs. Count would have got a buzz out of it as well as Count Jr. :o) Best wishes to all - looking forward to the next installment! ~~ Ray

It would have been great if you would've shared more info about the monuments' date of construction and everything...I lived there when I was a little girl back in the 90s and I have beautiful memories about Ashgabat and its people ❤ Was perhaps the local market called the "tolkutchka"? (Don't know how it's written, but it's pronounced like that)
