WHEN VISITING SRI MONGOL WITH FRIENDS WE ALWAYS ENJOY TAKING THEM TO THE PLACE THAT SERVES 7-LAYER TEA.

LIKELY MORE PEOPLE GO THROUGH THIS FARMGATE INTERSECTION IN DHAKA THAN LIVE IN SWEDEN!
BUSY INTERSECTION IN FARMGATE!
Let us dump sadness, jump with happiness,
shun fear and run with courage in heart in this new year.
Happy Pohela Boishakh.
I thought this photo of spices would be great to typify the food and Bengali culture!
HAPPY EASTER!
I PHOTOGRAPHED THIS TIA PAKI (Bangla name) at Block D, Lalmatia, Dhaka! Different times this bird showed up and I was without my 70-300 Canon IS lens. I used auto focus and when looking at the photos, I wondered if I would have gotten a sharper image with manual focus! So it goes. I saw an ad which showed the price of this bird at 5,00o taka (62.50 USD).

A bright orange colored burqa!
CAROL AND IDA ON A MYMENSINGH! They even looked for an excuse to go for a rickshaw ride just before supper. Riding rickshaws was their favorite mode of transportation, though they really enjoyed the train. They are leaving for the airport at midnight tonight! 😦
We sure have had a good time of catching up with our good friends.
They love riding on a rickshaw with great views and feeling the breezes, etc.
WE STAYED AT HOTEL AMIR IN MYMENSINGH. It was a nice hotel. Here are glimpses of a mural in the stairwell along with the ladies.
Alice, my wife!
Carol, my cousin and our friend!
Ida, a good friend of ours from America who came to visit.
IDA AND I HAD A NICE TOUR OF THE BANGLADESH PARLIAMENT BUILDING (Jatiyo Sangshad Bhaban), WHICH HAD BEEN ARRANGED BY OUR FRIEND, INGRID!
The beautiful Parliament building designed by American architect, Louis I Khan.
Ida gazing at the Bangladesh National Parliament Building!
BENGALI LADY WAITING FOR THE TRAIN!
I wonder what she is thinking?
TRAIN LEAVING THE AIRPORT STATION IN DHAKA, BANGLADESH!
I wonder if these boys ride the train home from school each day?
