Hotel Amir Breakfast
The shopkeeper on this street in Mymensingh set out chairs for Ida and Carol to sit on.
Relaxing beside the street in Mymensingh.
CAROL AND IDA REALLY DID EAT WITH THEIR HANDS. THIS IS THE NORMAL METHOD FOR BENGALIS WITH BANGLA FOOD. This was the noon meal at the Taize brothers after the worship service. The one brother was teasing the ladies that there was an examination. If they failed to show they could eat decently with their hands he was going to produce spoons for them to use. They were glad they had one day to practice before this! They must have passed the test since no spoons were produced. It was quite a bit easier since it was kitcheri!
Eating kitcheri with their hands!
40TH YEAR CELEBRATION FOR BANGLADESH IS TODAY! The day when the liberation war with Pakistan ended. I was 23 years old and I don’t recall seeing it in the news, but I am enjoying visiting in this country. Two of my grandsons were born here in Bangladesh. It is interesting that I am almost as old as Pakistan and my sons are almost as old as Bangladesh. Both of my sons have spend time working here in this country filled with many friendly hospital Bengalis. It is a country of 150 million people with 15 million living in the capital of Dhaka. At least 88% of the people are Muslim. With time constraints in today’s schedule I didn’t have time to locate photos of the National Flag, Flower, Bird, or Animal. Of course the Bengal Tiger has eluded me! I once took a photo of a tiger’s track that the guide thought was maybe less than an hour old! I decided to post this photo which not only was handy in my flash drive, but showed the friendliness of Bengalis in this village near Mymensingh. We have visited this village twice this year.
