Caspian Sea

I still remember in late 70's when subject of Ilmu Alam nowdays (Geografi) was teach by Cikgu Rasid, a very prominent and good teacher, less talk but more action .. this part really chilling myself last time when when we get caught and scuffled for some 'nasty' outdoor activity during school time. Bringing home a staff sergeat ( 3 lines) and at home will be getting few more lines to get sub-inspector rank... hehe. Ok the what is the relation to the title ? during Std 5 we learn about black sea, red sea and caspian sea. Alhamdulillah God gives me an oppurtunity to see with my eyes all three seas and one I could manage to touch it ... caspian sea.




Murad is one of resident's here, a very good man and loves to eat chicken curry.





Few regular friends who has been there like Mr Abe John and Wan Nur could established well with this experience, but for me the dream is come true .. what a beautiful big size of lake and autumn added more fantastic view with amazed half sun glows and cold wind bedded on its surface.

Great Monuments - Historical War

One of the most wonderful scene while visiting turkmenistan this time was when i visited a great monument. This monument was placed at zhangga 40km away from turkmenbasy and was a pit stop for balkanabat traveller. zhangga was a small tabulated residents at southern-west of turkmenistan and really it was a quiet village, mostly by kazakhstan origins, meaning more like to tibetan face looks. I was invited by my friends Juma and Myrat to their house and apartment.
The background (caspian) was lookslike fantastic curtains when we toppled up a 500ft mountain at zhangga. One of most beautiful scene was at monument itself, the monument comprises of 3 statues represent pain and victory over germany-russian war last time.

Turkmenbashi-Krasnovodsk & Turkmenistan




We are staying at Turkmenbashi Otel (!) for the next three days, my room 710 is facing caspian sea and I get full picture of beautiful horizon at every evening. All passport are left at frontdoor lobby, a beautiful decorated arts displayed around lobby with a very popular book "ruhnama" placing along with their first president. We cooked at our friend house nearby with assistance from our tall-handsome driver Myrat we can suit our time efficiently.
