ALICE AND I ARE ENJOYING SOME CHICKEN CURRY AT THE HOTEL AMIR IN MYMENSINGH, BANGLADESH.
SOME FRIENDS FROM AMERICA ARRIVED AT THE AIRPORT AT approximately 4:10 am. After waiting for luggage for almost an hour we headed for our place. We are trying to decide where to go for the evening meal?
McDONALD’S?
NO, McDONALD’S IS NOT AVAILABLE IN DHAKA! This photo was taken in Kolkata, on Park St.
So what shall we do? Well let’s go have some fuchkas.
FUCHKAS available at Probortna in Mohammadpur!
THIS MAN LOOKS UP FROM HIS MEAL AND REALIZES there is a photographer ready to take a photo!
ROASTED CORN-ON-THE-COB IN KOLKATA near New Market. It is not the same as corn-on-the-cob in the U.S. but has similarities. I’m not sure it is sweet corn, and also it is great with some hot spices sprinkled on the ear.
SUBWAY RESTAURANT IN KOLKATA near New Market. This is something we don’t have in Dhaka. We definitely savored these subs several times while in Kolkata. Alice like the veggie subs, and I liked the chicken subs, whether Teryaki, Tikka, or Tandoori!!
As seen from across the street.
Yes, always fresh!
FELLOWS ENJOYING TOASTED SANDWICHES ON CORNER NEAR NEWMARKET, KOLKATA, INDIA. I was many times tempted to buy one, but it was too close to the Subway and McDonald’s restaurants!

HAPPY 63rd BIRTHDAY TO MYSELF, Sil Byler, Ida Marie Miller, Darlene Stoner, Orville Wright, and President Bill Clinton! It is also World Photography Day! “World Photography Day is observed on August 19 each year. The day originates from the invention of the Daguerreotype, a photographic process developed by Louis Daguerre which was announced by the French Academy of Sciences on January 9, 1839. A few months later, on August 19, 1839, the French government announced the invention as a gift to the “Free World.” This info came from mbp.com.ph
From http://wright.nasa.gov/orville.htm: “January 30 1948: Orville Wright died in Dayton, Ohio, at the age of 76, thus ending his 28 years as a member of the NACA. NASA was created from NACA 10 years after Orville’s death. In his lifetime, the speed of the airplane had been increased from 0 mph to almost 1,000 mph.” So I shared a birthday with Orville though he died in January the year I was born. I also piloted a two-seater Luscombe in Canada for almost 400 hours from 1984- 1992, so we have something else in common.
I enjoyed a great Bengali breakfast of beef curry, vegetable curry, and nan ruti. This was followed by a nice visit at Coffee World with my friend, Ellis. The mocha and strawberry frappe were tasty.
A big thanks to all my friends who wished me “Happy Birthday” and one even hoping I live to be more than 100 years old!! Thanks for making my day special. My wife is also fixing me a special meal this evening consisting of hamburgers and potato wedges!!
My wife also made me a special jello cake which is pictured below. She decorated it with chocolate chips and peanut M & M’s (one of my favorite candies).
PINKY WITH THE IFTAR FOOD. We were invited by our house-helper to eat Iftar food. This is the food typically to break the daytime fast during the Holy month of Ramadan.
