A little tale about a trip to Maldives
In Winter, there are not so many activities in Turkey, except winter sports of course. Thereby at the beginning of January we decided to visit Maldives for a week. All we know about white sand and blue lagoons with exciting marine life of Maldives. The visa is not required by this country, so after we'd booked a room in the hotel, we bought the tickets and after 10 days flew to Maldives. Because we hadn't had enough money for 5 stars resorts, we decided to stay in 3 stars hotel. Almost all hotels are located on their own island, and ours wasn't an exeption. After we'd arrived in airport, hotel's staff provided us to high-speed boat and after 40 minutes we finally reached our island, one name is Biyadhoo. First 5 days were wonderful with awesome snorkeling, I even was lucky to see big enough sea-turtle, little sharks, clown fishes and many other marine inhabitants as well. We also took a dolphins watching tour, but unfortunately we didn't succeed in seeing them. The last 2 days were, so to speak, a little boring, and for these cases a little library with various books in different languages can help you. Haven't ever thought that reading books on the beach could be such interesting )) Worth mentioning, that almost all the evenings were supplemented with maldivian national or other genre music, even John Lennon's Imagine was represented us by musicians. Won't write here about prices, but it's important to know that a bottle water in Maldives costs about 4$.
And if someone asks me a question like is Maldives worth to be visited, I'd answer Yes, but 5 days are pretty enough.
Thank you for reading.
p.s. Sorry for any mistakes, looking forward to get advices how to avoid them :)

Turkmenistan - Where is it?
Today I would like to share with you probably a new term, that called "Turkmenistan". Perhaps, the first question, coming in mind is "Where is it?" and "Why haven't I heard about it before?". And I'll try to reply fot it.
Let's back for some in history. There was a country - Soviet Union, which was consisted of 15 republics, and one of them was Turkmen Soviet Socialistic Republic. Well, then comes 1991 when Soviet Union crashes and the country, named Turkmenistan has been creating. In head of state came Turkmenbashi ("The head of Turkmens" - name that he has given to himself). Since then Turkmenistan has being one of the most closed countries in the world. That times may remember us the Stalin's period with cult of personality and even studying at school classes about a book, written by him. Obviously, internet was prohibited, there was no freedom of speech, as there is no currently as well. After his death, ascends to the throne second and today's dictator, no much has changed, but at least internet has been provided and country has become, so to speak, a little more opened, although it's still practically impossible to get visa to visit it.
And this is the main reason, why so few people have ever heard about it.
But I sincerely hope, that something will change, and tourists can discover exciting places such as endless desert, "Gates to hell", enormous canyons, plateau of traces of dinosaurs and many other amazing sites.
Thanks for reading
p.s. Beg your pardon for any mistakes in advise, waiting for recommendations how to avoid them.
