All-White Affair

Ashgabat Turkmenistan – everything about it. The entire city (every building) is white marble. It lights up at night like a sterile Las Vegas however, there is no advertising except for billboards of the dictator holding onto puppies by the neck to show everyone how nice he is. He has pretty much positioned himself as a religious prophet.

The airport is shaped like a massive white marble eagle.it used to be a red building but soon after it was built they tore it down and built a white marble one to match the current decor.

Also there is no white marble in Turkmenistan so it has to be imported from Italy. They were the largest importer of white marble in the world and drove the price up so high it cost them ridiculous amounts of money to build the buildings. Strange strange place.
