Turkmenistan

[Carol Z. Logan]

Has anyone recently been to Turkmenistan or do you have personal contacts
there and know what the current situation is regarding the state of the
drinking water supply and air quality?  I have read that the water there is
perhaps the most unclean of any NIS state.  Any other personal comments or
experiences would also be appreciated, especially regarding the
transportation system, hotels, food safety, attitudes towards Americans,
attitude toward European women, etc.
