HAIRCUT I went up the street to Towne Hall Bazaar to get my haircut. It reminded me of this photo that Craig Mullet took in November.  At this little shop without doors the haircut costs me 30 tk (45 cents U.S.)!

TEA STAND

Here is where I bought a cup of tea 5 days per week from November ’07 until August ’08.  My wife thought I shouldn’t to prevent sickness.  Somehow I never got sick even though I bought close to 200 cups of tea here.  The cups are rinsed out with water before being used again!

WAITING FOR CNG

After a 2 hour visit in this home the office helper and her daughter went with us out to the street where we hailed a CNG for our trip home.  This is very typical of the Bengali hospitality.  They don’t just say good-bye at the door, but walk you to the elevator, street etc. to make sure your on the way.  They feel it is their duty as your hosts.  The Bengali people are very hospitable people.  They were very appreciative that we came to visit in their home and enjoy a meal.
