IDA AND I HAD A NICE TOUR OF THE BANGLADESH PARLIAMENT BUILDING (Jatiyo Sangshad Bhaban), WHICH HAD BEEN ARRANGED BY OUR FRIEND, INGRID!
The beautiful Parliament building designed by American architect, Louis I Khan.

BENGALI LADY WAITING FOR THE TRAIN!
I wonder what she is thinking?
THIS BANGLADESH TRAIN MUST HAVE LULLED THIS LADY TO SLEEP? Yes, I was as the airport train station on Saturday to pick up a passenger, so enjoyed getting some photos. I actually also went to the Kamalapur Train Station this morning to buy tickets for a trip we are taking with guests this week.

ON THE 15TH WE LEFT IN THE MORNING FOR OUR EVENING FLIGHT TO BANGKOK BECAUSE OF MANY ROADS BEING CLOSED DUE TO THE BISHWA-IJTEMA which is held in Tongi North of the of the airport. When we told the police we were going to the airport they let us pass through the barricade. There were many people walkingt in the direction of the airport. Near there were van garis trying to get passengers to go on to the Ijtema.

THIS FIGHTER JET IS MAKING PRACTICE RUNS IN PREPARATION FOR FRIDAY’S VICTORY DAY CELEBRATION.
RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY OF THE DHAKA CRAFT BAZAAR held at “The Gallery” in Gulshan 1, Dhaka. This is a monthly FAIR TRADE festival. My friend Larry is in the background with the hat on. He was one of the organizers of this event.
WE ATTENDED A CRAFT BAZAAR ORGANIZED BY PROKRITI AND MCC. They had me wear a “funny” robe and scarf on my head. Then I played this hand drum like thing. Of course I got everyone’s attention. I think they have it on hand to have some fun at the Bazaar Someone commented that they now saw Austin’s Dad (me) acts just like Austin. I wonder who learned it from who! 🙂 I wondered later if I didn’t even have the robe on backwards! This was the first of hopefully many more monthly bazaars. Many organizations brought items from many Bangladesh artisans for sale. There also was North End Roasters coffee available. Afterward we went to the A & W restaurant. A & W root beer is one of Alice’s favorite soft drink. Myron got some Movenpick ice cream which he thoroughly enjoyed. We ate the evening meal at Midnight Sun, a Chinese restaurant. For dessert we ordered ice cream. At least today Myron had ice cream two times, instead of his normal three times a day when he is on vacation! Oh, Michelle this post and photo is especially for you! 🙂
