Day 353

ALICE ENJOYING HER ICED COFFEE and I enjoying a orange/mango smoothie.  These photos are basically in realtime!  We are at the “Coffee Club” which opened yesterday!  A very nice place near what they call “Times Square!”

Day 349

YOUNG BENGALI LAD  –  Sorry folks, time ran out so I will not have photos for the next 12 days unless I find some way to do it in Bali, or Kuala Lumpur.  We are leaving shortly and spending two nights in Malaysia and 9 nights in Bali, Indonesia.

Day 348

CONSERVATIVE MUSLIM BENGALI FAMILY ON A RICKSHAW in traffic jam near Old Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh.

 

Day 347

YOUNG BIHARI GIRL brushing her teeth and checking out the foreign photographer!

“MERRY CHRISTMAS ADVANCE” ( The greeting they give here for an early holiday greeting) HERE I AM GETTING READY TO DELIVER COOKIES TO THE other 31 apartments in our building.  Since we are leaving for Indonesia on Saturday, we thought we would get this done early.  I got many invitations to come in and drink tea, eat snacks, and visit.  It was a very enjoyable time.  We have very nice neighbors!

Day 345

SHARMIN  wondering what the elephant will do next!  I of course couldn’t tell these girls apart.  They were a part of the photo club I went to Moulovibazar with to photograph, tea gardens,  birds at a haor, and waterfall.  It was too late in the season and the waterfalls was barely a trickle so didn’t go see it.  Also it was too early to see the Winter birds at the haor, but all in all it was a good trip.  I hope to join them for a trip to another haor in Northeastern Bangladesh in February, when many Winter birds will be residing.

Day 344

Day 343

TWO LITTLE BENGALI CHILDREN WITH baby goats in a Munshiganj area village.  I would have posted pictures of the care packages from America, but a part of those goodies was my repaired camera.  The photos I took were with my friend’s camera.
