Day 302

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.

Day 301

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! 🙂

Here I am at the Fair Trade Craft Bazaar

Day 300

TODAY WAS FULL DAY!  A visit to Old Dhaka including the area where rickhsaws are painted.  Someone mentioned that this fellow was an engineer.  He turned around and said, “I am an artist, not an engineer!”

Here is a photo of an artist painting on a rickshaw.

WE’VE BEEN ENJOYING COMPANY FROM OUR HOME COMMUNITY.  In the photo below you see Myron and Eileen on a rickshaw.  Today we head for Old Dhaka and New Market!
