We went for a walk to see life on the streets of Dhaka, and we create quite a sensation. Wherever we paused to take a photo or to look at something, a crowd soon developed around us. You mostly see men in the streets, working as vendors, carriers (with loads on their heads), street sweepers, tea sellers, mechanics doing repairs, etc. We saw a few women, so I'll add their photos, but society here seems to be run by men....
Rickshaws are a common way of transport, the streets are noisy and busy
A lovely family inside a CNG (Commercial Natural Gas) vehicle (Tuk-tuk in Thailand)
The Rice Vendor, on the same street as our hotel
Vegetable stall, everything placed so nicely!
Women on the sidewalk, happy to see their photos when I showed them
A typical crowd that formed whenever we stopped, rickshaws, walkers, shoppers.....
A big basket to carry on your head!
Peter, we heard they were looking for retired firemen, to help out in Bangladesh, interested?
Ralph looks like a giant!
ReplyDeleteYou made us laugh,yes i guess we both are giants over here. They chuckle when Ralph's knees touch the seat ahead of us in the vehicle. We went to the airport to get our missing bag, everything went fine. We had to go to several offices, stops for signatures. One fellow, when hearing we were from Quebec said "Bonjour". So we can even use our french here!
