After breaking up of Soviet, some independence countries was made up in the north of my country Iran .one of these countries was Turkmenistan and Ashgabat is its capital.
president palace
I visited Ashgabat in the year2005 and what after comes describes my observations. I believe that general information of a place is accessible by books, media, internet, guide leaflets and so on. Today urban and geographic information, hotel reservation prices, knowledge of people mainly habits are easily in tough. But useful information some time are individual experiences which inform audiences of dangers ,local habits ,useful system(transport),luxuries ,expends ,defrauds ,protective institutes and organizations. However in my opinion urban planning in Ashgabat was fabulous and aimed to make this city one of best places in Asia Minor.This important is done by a beautiful and aiming urban design. The city has compounded of two main parts .old and new. In the south at the edge of the city not far from arrival to it there is Berzengi area with fourteen hotels in a direct line beside a vast band street with low traffic. An axe from the south to the north with an adverting point in the middle is base of the new part plan. The visa for my citizens is 100$ and is expensive.
Favourite spots:
nutral tower
In the center of the city (the adverting point)there are governmental utilities such as president palace ,independence square in front ,trade center ,telecom center ,art gallery ,defense ministry and some other monumental buildings. As the axe continues other official buildings are gathered along side of it until in the north of the city ended. The old part of the city came back to the soviet era and is densities residential buildings from that time.
What's really great:
hospital
As I remember there was two important beautiful building from soviet era .One in governmental zoom was hospital and the other was a circular shaped theater building which located in the old parts of the city .The shape of this two buildings reminded me modern style and theories of its pioneer master le corbusier. I admire some coffee shops in the country and suburbs around. Here people at evening eat; drink, dance and get familiar with each other .they play music and have red dressed girl waiters.
Sights:
However I believe by the time the city needs conservation and restoration and all of cultural changes should be done about people because a beautiful city without civilized people will die through the time.
Ashgabat in that time had no gas .If any body had food with himself I think there is not hope to eat warmly .Absolutely there would be some experience of love .finally Ashgabat was cheap and comfortable.
Accommodations:
ruski bazzare
Hotel prices range from 20$ to 80$ daily .some are single and some are double .books and reservation is recommended in touring seasons.
The main Rusk bazaar is close to Grand hotel and by walking some minutes from Nyssa hotel there is access to the governmental zoom.
After two or three days I understood that I could provide all of my needs from yimpas. All of necessaries from edible till clothes with price tags is available in this center .Money change ordinary was done in the bazaars and by retails.
humm,you know,this report completely shows your major!:))by the way it is good for architectural lesson but not enough interesting for travellers..hounestly;)
