THIS BENGALI IN MYMENSINGH SHOWED TYPICAL BENGALI HOSPITALITY when he saw me drinking a cup of tea.  When I wanted to pay for it he said, “No, I will pay for it.  Of course he said it in Bengali, since I’m quite sure he didn’t know how to speak English.  This is very typical of the Bengali people.  Six of us adults and two little girls were walking along the river in Mymensingh and a large school group came there to eat their lunch.  The teacher invited us to join them, but we declined since we had just come from ROM-III, a very good restaurant in Mymensingh.
