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!!!
KITCHEN of the neighbor of Day 182
I doubt whether this recession has hit him yet, though the price of rice went up a bit.
STREET DWELLER neighbor
Notice this fellows feet sticking out of his shelter. I’m not sure what put this fellow on the street. He has lived here for a long time. Every so often I buy him breakfast. One day I bought him a bag of rice. Later I saw him filling plastic bottles with the rice. I noticed that every grain he spilled was picked up to be used. I had wondered how he would survive Cyclone Sidr in 2007, but when the storm calmed I saw that he and his shelter were ok.
VEGETABLES on street vendor’s Van Gari. I haven’t tried hurrying to the street from our 9th floor apartment to buy vegetables when I hear them yelling “Torkari!” “Torkari” is curried food. These vegetables are cooked with whatever kind of curry is being prepared. I have however bought some on the street if I see them when I am walking.
BLACK-TOPPING continued. Here is a lady worker who keeps feeding sawdust into the fire to heat up the gravel, tar, etc. mixture. There are other fires to heat up the tar to pour into this mixture.
BLACK-TOPPING on a street in Iqbal Road. This street has been one of the roughest streets, and finally it is being blacktopped! I posted this for my friend Paul Troyer, who is a black-topper in Ohio.
