Weekend in Asghabat. It was very cold - sub zero degrees C.
On Sunday I went to the market to buy some groceries.
There isn't much to do here during the weekend. It's too cold to play any kind of sports.
The TV had a satellite decoder box with 1300 programs to watch. Most were in a foreign language. CSI Vegas was shown with with the actors and actresses speaking in Italian. There were dozens of channels offering pornography. None were free ; you had to call in the the tel. number shown on the TVand pay using a credit card to see any action. The only programs in English were BBC News, CNN, CCTV( (China), MRTV (Myanmmar) and sometimes Arirang (South Korea).
I finished reading "Paradise of the Blind" a novel written by D.T. Thuong from Vietnam. That was the highlight of my weekend. Other than that, it was a normal boring weekend in Asghabat.
