CHAPATIS in the making. This fellow in the Mohammadia Housing section of Dhaka came to the tea stand I was at and wanted me to take a photo of him and his wife as she was making chapatis (flat bread). Very tasty, in fact I had some for lunch at a friends house.
NICE HEAD SHOT by a teammate while Masum (red jersey) looks on. I play with these fellows early on Friday and Saturday morning. We have a match at 4:15 at the TNT field. If we win we are in the semi-finals.

ROADSURFACING WORKER in Iqbal Rd. takes a break from feeding the fire to check out the photographer.
TRAFFIC POLICEMAN are a neccesary part of the operations of Dhaka. Do they pay any more attention to the policeman than to the traffic lights. Probably more attention to the policeman.
PHOTO PAYBACKS
As I took a photo of this street black-topper, he whipped out his phone from somewhere in his lungi and decided to take a picture of me.
A REMIAN RAIDER enjoying a KFC burger! What a celebration party it was.
REMIAN RAIDERS winners of the Level Next Talent Hunters Football tournament. Here is the trophy they worked hard for. Akib, the captain on the left, and Afif the team manager on the right, are quite happy!
INDEPENDENCE DAY for the U.S.A. It’s amazing to think that the U.S. was only 195 years old when Bangladesh became a nation!! We missed the fireworks usually a part of this day, but there were another kind of fireworks as the Remian Raiders celebrated their latest tournament win with a great meal at Kentucky Fried Chicken!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BROTHER BOB!
Bob an I are both 60 years old. That makes us Irish twins. Irish twins are siblings that share the same age for a period of time, meaning of course that they were born less than a year apart. It is interesting that Alice and her sister are at this time both 61 years old. I don’t know if Bob was born at Noon, but if so, he was born smack in the middle of the year. That means this afternoon we are sailing into the second half of 2009!!
Here is a photo of Bob with his wife Rachel.
