Turkmenistan

Currently, this blog will be used for my thoughts, pictures, and excerpts from letters I send home from Turkmenistan. I will be in Turkmenistan from October 1, 2008 until December of 2010. You can send me letters and packages using the address to the right.
Many thanks to my family for posting updates to this blog as I will most likely have limited internet access over the next few years.

Top 10 Fruit To Eat In Turkmenistan during the Summer

1. Apricots (erik)
2. Watermelon (garpyz)
3. Apples (alma)
4. Grapes (üzim)
5. Peaches (şetaly)
6. Tomatoes (pomidor) – I know, perhaps a veggie, perhaps a fruit but regardless I eat a ton of them!
7. Cantaloupe type melon (gawun)
8. Strawberries (tudana) – these are only available for a few weeks in the city, but are really good!
9. Cherries (ülje)
10. Quince (not sure about the Turkmen, and in fact I had never heard of this fruit until I got here)
