Turkmen Student 'Cooks' His Bank Card
A Russian ATM machine's repeated rejection of his efforts to withdraw cash from his Turkmen bank led one student abroad to cut up his bank card and try to cook it for a meal. A video of his culinary effort was sent to RFE/RL's Turkmen Service in a humorous attempt to express the utter frustration felt by many of the thousands of Turkmen students studying around the world who are unable to get money from their bank accounts back home.
