| Monument to Turkmen independencePhotographer: Kar Po & RobFrom: Halk, Watan, Beyik, Turkmenbashi! TB Code: [photo=435646] Monument to Turkmen independenceKnown to expats, so we read in our guidebooks, as the plunger, although we didn't actually meet any to confirm. It is 128m tall because, now let me get this right, independence was gained on the 27th of October 1991....so 27 + 10 + 91 = 128, get it? That's another golden statue of Turkmenbashi in the foreground by the way. |
