KAMAL AND PRETTY, MY TTL PHOTOGRAPHER FRIENDS!

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!

FRIENDLY BEGGAR

THIS HANDICAPPED MAN CAN BE FOUND DAILY BEGGING AT TOWN HALL BAZAAR.

He wanted my guests to take a photo of him and me.

HERE I AM WITH A MAN WHO ALWAYS GREETS ME WITH A SMILE AS HE SCOOTS AROUND WITH HIS 4-WHEELED "VEHICLE!"

IT WAS A PLEASURE TO SEE MY FRIEND, RUBEL AS WE WERE LEAVING THE MARKET.

Since guests came with cameras I am able to post more photos of myself.  One of the hazards of being the photographer in the family, is fewer photos of myself!

RUBEL AND I! Rubel with a big smile as always! Rubel must have been looking at the wrong camera!

2012 Day 81

CAROL AND IDA REALLY DID EAT WITH THEIR HANDS.  THIS IS THE NORMAL METHOD FOR BENGALIS WITH BANGLA FOOD.  This was the noon meal at the Taize brothers after the worship service.  The one brother was teasing the ladies that there was an examination.  If they failed to show they could eat decently with their hands he was going to produce spoons for them to use.  They were glad they had one day to practice before this! They must have passed the test since no spoons were produced.  It was quite a bit easier since it was kitcheri!

Eating kitcheri with their hands!

2012 Day 76

LAST EVENING AFTER ORDERING OUR MEAL AT Nandos Peri Peri Chicken Restaurant in Dhaka these couples poked their heads through the openings behind us!  We had a splendid meal. It was the last day of their special of an additional free side dish of your choice with a meal.  Nando’s is a casual dining restaurant group originating from the Mozambiquan Portuguese community in South Africa with a Portuguese/Mozambican theme.

2012 Day 74

WE STAYED AT HOTEL AMIR IN MYMENSINGH.  It was a nice hotel.  Here are glimpses of a mural in the stairwell along with the ladies.

Alice, my wife!

 

Carol, my cousin and our friend!
