Ashgabat - Post Report Question and Answers

Is it easy to make friends with locals here? Are there any prejudices or any ethnic groups who might feel uncomfortable here?

No. I wouldn't call it prejudice, but some black expats report being uncomfortable with the amount of attention they receive from locals who have never seen black people in real life before. - Jan 2024


No. Locals would be harrassed if they too friendly with the foreigners. If a local was super interested in hanging out with you, one must assume they are gathering intelligence. - Dec 2020
