LADY BEGGAR AT MARKET

HERE IS A LADY WHO QUITE OFTEN TRIES TO CONVINCE ME SHE NEEDS SOME MONEY FOR FOOD OR CLOTHING!

The question is whether to give or not to give!

It was so nice to have good friends visit us in March!

2012 Day 79

WE DID A TOUR ACROSS THE BURIGANGA TO SEE THE SHIP YARDS AND A GARMENT FACTORY.  Here the ladies are posing with sewing machines.  The workers loved to show us their workplace and their products.

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.

LAST EVENING AFTER ORDERING OUR MEAL AT Nandos Peri Peri Chicken Restaurant in Dhaka these couples poked their heads through the openings behind us!  We had a splendid meal. It was the last day of their special of an additional free side dish of your choice with a meal.  Nando’s is a casual dining restaurant group originating from the Mozambiquan Portuguese community in South Africa with a Portuguese/Mozambican theme.

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.
