THIS IS THE VIEW FROM THE 7TH HEAVEN RESTAURANT ABOVE AARONG’S IN LALMATIA, DHAKA, BANGLADESH. Carol Hochstetler liked this photo because of the tractor and the cool car beside it.  I guess this photo is dedicated to my friend, Joe Hochstetler!

TOMATO PASTE CANNING TIME

MY DECIDED WHILE THE TOMATOES WERE IN SEASON to make some paste for use with pizza or spaghetti!

THIS SHOP OWNER WANTED A PHOTO OF HIM AND HIS WORKERS.  It is shops like this that provide long strings of lights (similar to Christmas lights in America) that hang from 8-12 story buildings.  They are a beautiful sight at night.  They are used on the apartment buildings if one of the tenants is getting married.  Even the National Parliament building has these kind of lights strung during many holidays, like Independence Day.

It is amazing that we are in Day 100 of 2012 already!

WAITING FOR CUSTOMERS!
